It has been almost a fortnight and I declare that I am officially settled into my new place. I love my view as it is relatively unobstructed by buildings. I look out into a sea of greens. And my table has been well-done. I love the amount of space to play around with. Now there is the Apple corner (aka entertainment) and my work space. It is vital to keep the two relatively separated. The problem is how do I move myself back to the work space?
And I have decided to throw away a lot of things. I have enough of hoarding stuff. It depresses me. My subconscious has threatened to commit suicide should I throw the stuff away. The emotional burden is too much to bear. And the things just sit there year after year. I suspect I will never touch any of them ever.
Ok so much for the shifting of houses. The ordeal started back in october/november when when we shifted out of Queens, into Chinatown. And here we are back at where we started. Not really, we, as a family, really started from Yishun block 240, although, I spent most of kindergarden days in Ang Mo Kio, where my grandparents lived.
My memories of my yonder days should be another blog post......

Shifting
Shifting house is really no fun.
Verily as I gotten used to living in Chinatown, I am now back to Queenstown. My new house is just one street across, located at a very European-citiyish sounding name - Strathmore.
I also know that I carry a lot of stuff with me. But little did I know the literal meaning of it. I really carry a lot of stuff with me. Boxes and more boxes of stuff. Some of them I never even touch it for like for years. I know I am a mild hoarder. Of course, when compared to the hardcore hoarder, I am just at the kindergarden level.
I really need to shed all these stuff. Mainly they are books. And collectibles.
I forced myself to start purging all these stuff. Will I still need my university notes? Will I still need my projects? Will I still need to see that book again. How many times can I re-read harry potter?
Ahhh all that CDs. They are simply waiting to be extinct. Maybe then, I can fetch a good price for selling these?
One thing about giving up the stuff is to sever all emotional attachment to these stuff. I once made myself to give up a lot of stuff during a major clean-up of the ex-condo I was in. I named it "Project Purge". The aim is to purge stuff which I KNOW I will not touch it again. I remembered I threw out a lot of stuff. My JC F-Maths notes and scribbles, rubbish I have written for my GP practices and scores of pokemon cartoons CDs.
I can sense a "Project Purge II" coming up.

What am i doing still awake?
It is already past midnite and yet I haves difficulty getting to sleep. Time seemed to have played a cruel joke on me. If indeed, I have myself to blame. I just love to like time slip by. I am a time-waster. I do not shoe time any respect and for that matter, I am an arrogant sloth. Time and tide waits for no man.
Take heed!

I know you are looking
Hehe I know you are looking. Of course not at me...but at my iPad! Oh my god! I finally regain some of the past high of knowing that I am technologically more superior than the bugger beside me.
This is the perhaps the raisin d'etre of me using Mac for all these years. Mac has always being superior to anything that i have known...pc/windows.
I remember apple as being hard to use. I must admit it. It was a painful journey with my Mac back then. It was not until recently that I realized the whole world was engulfing themselves with everything Mac. MacBooks, iMacs.....and of course, the iPhone. Everyone is using them. The cult of sac is being invaded.
Suddenly it no longer seem cool to sit in starbucks with a MacBook or a MacBook pro. The fellow sitting beside you has one.
Then I gotten myself a MacBook air! Take that you false prophets.... Noooo MacBook air started sprouting until it seemed that I am one of them. Noooo I have being a loyal servant of the cult since the beginnings. Of course i am but a junior loyalist as compared to those who followed the cult since it's inception.
For a long time, I have not felt like what I am feeling now. The ipads I am holding is worthed every single cent. But i do know this feeling is going to just go away once apple start selling ipads in singapore. But until then......eat my shorts suckers..........

Typing with the wireless keyboard
I am so making this iPad into a lappy. I am using the wireless keyboard for typing. And now the only next time I want to get is the 3G-enabled iPad. Meant for this to be a super short post, but not twitter-like.
Just want to try out the wireless keyboard. And I would think that there would be some lag. But nnooooo... it is as if the wireless keyboard is part of this iPad. Although they are connected via bluetooth, but it feels like they are one.

How cool issit?
I am so on a blogging spree. The large keyboard and screen estate meant that i can type with more convenience. As compared to iPhone, the smaller keyboard and screen will mean I can't really types fast and as efficiently.
Right now I am on my way to visit yu fang who unfortunately been hospitalized. Poor girl. And the irony is that today is her birthday. But I'm sure she will appreciate that almost everyone will be visiting her.
It kind of makes me wonder.... Who will visit me if I should be in the hospital. I think given Kenneth is just being Kenneth.... He will inform no one. He will try his best to hush things up. Maybe he will say he is on leave or something.

Rainy day with my iPad
While the heavens are pouring out their grief, I am lazing around with my new toy. I totally heart it and I could not understand how this day can change so fast. Originally I just wanted to see it in flesh. I din intend to buy it. Seriously. But after that I may not lay my hands on this beauty for another 2 months, I decided to just get it.
I am an extremely impatient guy. The price of this beauty must never be let known although its within my expectation and budget.
I so wanna scream out that I am the PROUD owner of an iPad!!!!!!!!
