I just came back from Kudat. Went to visit my grandparents over the weekend. Along the way, I brought my camera along, thinking to take some nice pictures to post it here to share with everyone……..

Except that when I got back and when I tried to transfer the pictures to my laptop. Something went terribly wrong and I lost all my pictures. (!!!) Even the one of Mt. Kinabalu. It was one of the more beautiful shots of it since you can look out over this vast fields of paddy and the mountain as a backdrop. Actually, we could see the mountain all through our journey to Kudat but the most beaustiful was still at that particular spot. Mountain a dark purple-ish blue, light blue sky, wisps of cloud…. nvm.

New topic. Why does HP has to change the design of their laptops?!?! I don’t like the new dv2000 series at all. I mean, from the outside, glossy surface with wavy lines…. that ok. But They just had to gloss the inside and it makes it look cheap (to me at least…). *sigh* I kind of like HP laptops. I wanted to get one when I change mine this time but when I saw the new look, the idea just didn’t work. I don’t think I’d be able to reconcile myself with their new design. Hp will have a lot of convincing to do.

The next option was to get an iMac. But as much as I like the design…. I don’t think I can live without a card reader, or less one USB port. Right now, I need all three. Plus, the sales assistant told me that the iMac’s slot loading drive is a disadvantage cos small discs are liable to get stuck inside (but that doesn’t stop him from owning one though). There’ll also be alot ‘getting used to’s’ if I switch to iMac. Their one mouse button, new OS, keyboard shortcuts etc etc…. But I’m quite interested in iMac…. won’t give up on it so fast yet.

Bottomline. I don’t think I’ll change my laptop yet. I have no complaints with mine now except that it doesn’t have a built in webcam (and I forgot the mention that Mac’s iSight cam does not work with msn unless you switch to the Windows OS). I think I’ll wait until I see one that like. Maybe Apple will add a card reader to theirs soon???

*ps- I heard that Apple products are much cheaper in australia. =)

Oh, and I heard that Garry (Chao Ge) will be singing in KK sometime during CNY… I just heard an interesting fact about him though from my mom. Couldn’t believe it at first. Then I just felt like laughing. I couldn’t divulge it over the net though. pity.

**Ruxing- No no… I didn’t go through the interview… I don’t think I want to put myself through that whole process again. Then as I said ‘No thank you’ I was thinking ‘What the heck, I should have agreed. After all I have nothing to lose now.’ Haha… at least I could have stretched my boundaries, give some outrageous answers and see the results. Lol…

UNSW just called me up to set the interview date with me for enrollment into the medicine course. (!!!!!!!!!)

Why so late?!?!?!

I already accepted adelaide pulak.

cacat…………. *doink*

I still tend to think that I’m 18 years old most of the time. My time in INTEC was like a dream. I didn’t have the time to actually drill into my head that I turned 19 last year. I guess my final year of SAM overshadowed everything. It was always there, looming over all of us. Even when we were having fun, I guess each of us knew that we will be taking the exam that will practically determine our whole future. When that was over and done with, I thought that my spirits will improve, instead, I had a bad feeling inside me for the next few weeks. Somehow, I just felt that I messed up somewhere and it’s going to cost me. Thankfully, nothing of that sort happened.

Last year was also filled with anticipation, all my hopes of being accepted. To be able to leave this place. In a few more weeks, I’ll be leaving this place, to start a brand new chapter of my life as an undergraduate. Suddenly, everything is happening too fast. It suddenly dawned on me that I’ll be turning 20 this year. I’ll be leaving home, staying alone in a totally new environment. I knew this was going to happen but it seemed insignificant to me before this. I actually couldn’t wait to go. I couldn’t understand why some people find it so hard to move on. Now, however, I realise what is it I have to leave behind and I do feel a little reluctant. I know I will go, I won’t turn back, I’ve been dreaming and working so hard for this for so long.

Everyday is precious to me now. Every minute that I spent here at home, in KK, I’m trying to make the most of my time here….
