I got my MacBookPro last Friday, 26 May 2006, and I love it to bits.
I've moved my music, documents and other unimportant stuff over here (yes, I'm using my MBP now). But I forgot to export my bookmarks here.
I've got both my Gmail and MSN Hotmail account running on Apple Mail. I can't decide if I should make the switch to Gmail or not. From what I've heard, Gmail's fantastic and I won't require any plug-ins to run it on email clients (unlike hotmail). All I need to do is to add everyone to my gmail account, on MSN and update all my mailing list subscriptions. I subscribe to a lot of mailing lists. It'll be a real hassle. I've got to update my particulars in all the forums I participate in. Switching over seems more troublesome than replacing a lost identity card.

Starry starry night,
paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summers day
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodills
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
in colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry Starry Night,
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
reflect in Vincents eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue.
Morning fields of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artists loving hand
Now i understand
What you tried to say to me
and how you suffered for your sanity
and how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you,
but still your love was true
and when no hope was left in sight
on that Starry,Starry night
you took your life as lovers often do.
But I could've told you Vincent,
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry ,Starry Night,
Portraits hung in empty halls.
Frameless heads on nameless walls,
with eyes that watch the world and cant forget.
Like the strangers that you've met.
The ragged men in ragged clothes.
The silver thorn of bloody rose
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen.
They're not listening still
perhaps they never will
lost in its essence. marvel at the fragility of life.
wad has become of everything?
nothing.

as i was reading zenith moments ago, i wished i had the apititude for writing. and obviously, this desire was clearly left unfounded. my lackadaisical attitude towards gp says it all.
so we had this talk last nite. i guess it is never easy to discern between what one proclaims as 'true' and 'surface' friends. one is a group whom you know will be there when the need arises, another, a group who is merely there to share your joys, limelight, and perhaps, i say, to make almost every full use of you.nothing else.
i have learnt that self-interest always predominates. my life revolves around me. ME ME ME! it has always been this way, i just did not come to that realization; until now. i nv knew the gravity of the problem until yesterday-when we talked. i did not know this entire issue has hurt me so badly til my emotions took over. i thought they would learn to appreciate; yet i was wrong.
when i was down, you guys were nv there. how could i have blamed you? you have always been trapped in your world of selfishness; of self-preservation. there was this competitive streak in you, i knew, on the very first day we met. you had to finish this race. the race of individualism, material wealth, and sheer popularity.
and wad right do i have to say all this?
perhaps there will nv be a formula to remedy my skewed perception towards life, but atleast i know that, whatever happens, he will be there for me. love you. (:

HAPPY BRITHDAY MON!
see i remember okie (:
so today; marks the last day of ODAC.
omg my world is collapsing. ironically as it sounds, wad will life be without cca-all the fun we've been experiencing the past 1 1/2 years? no more mountains, no more camps, no more huge mosquito bites, no more outdoor cooking, no more stinky clothings, no more peeing in javier-dugged holes, no more slping in tents with frens, no more solo walks, no more torn soles, no more ziplock bags( they are important man), no more maggi-cooking-in-odac-room sessions, no more kayaking courses, no more rants bout being smelly, no more jin hao's led pt, no more ah boy's screams, no more chin woof woof, no more gossips with cheryl!NO MORE.
save me.
seeing how shaz made her farewell speech almost brought me to tears. the juniors have been the most fabulous bunch; they have made us so proud. you see, they are considerably discipline (atleast more than us), nice ppl, ultra cute and really motivated.
one, they have been really brave ( weiming gary!). two, girl POWER! (yanling, angela, amanda and co.) three, i dunno la. we have a potato can? (think ganjun!)
learn to let go laaaa.
thanks shawn for the atomizerish perfume. i love you! and yes bvlgari rocks (:

Yesterday was a good day (other than the school part).
My mom paid for my haircut. I went to Chapter2 Bugis instead of Marina Square and my cutter, NaNa, from more than a year ago remembered me (my name too)! I feel guilty for 'cheating' on her with Ric. I absolutely love my haircut! My fringe looks awesome. I'll definitely go back to her in future.
I had a good dinner at Swensens.
My mom bought me a pair of dusty pink ballet flats from x:dous.
My dad bought me the Canon PowerShot A620 I wanted.
I received MAC Blue Brown pigment and mixing medium in the mail.
Today is a public holiday.
Whoopee!

I need something good to happen. Everything is such a chore now. School, school, school. I've got a tonne of things to do but as usual, I'm taking it slow and I'll be ready to freak out at the eleventh hour. Like everyone, I flirt with procrastination. Where I am, it's cold and dull. Ho-hum. I know this entire paragraph doesn't flow well. I'm like thinking of two different things at the same time. Oh wow.
Like I said, I need something good to happen. Totally.

It's my birthday and I've got the song Vehicles Shock Me by Ghost of the Robot, stuck in my head.
It's your birthday
And I'm not there
Because you don't even
Know that I'm here
Fake trees you
Plant behind you
When it's me there
Right beside you
I'm the shade that
Creeps your shoulder
When you hide your face from me
Hmm, I see how pointless this is. It's my birthday anyway.
