Laptop Down

I guess I kind of deserve it. I have been abusing my laptop all these while. I'm gonna send it in to the "hospital" and so this means I can't update much here anymore for the next 7 days. Strange, just as I am starting to do spring cleaning, my hard disk died on me. I guess its a good thing, so now I can fully focus on doing up my room. I feel so weird now using my bro's PC.

Maybe I'll also upgrade the RAM, change the dvd writer to dvd rewritable. So if this happens mean I gotta pay $500 for all the hardware and stuffs..... By the way did I mention my laptop's fan has been making strange noises too? LOL Might a well get a new Acer laptop at $899. Actually my laptop is not that old. Only almost 2 years old. It had served me well but ungrateful people like me abuse it by turning it on 24/7.

Priority, priority..............

Objective: To create a comfortable, cozy and beautiful space for work, creativity and relaxation.

First thing first:
1) Spring cleaning : Throw out old and useless items in the room to make way for new incomings.
2) Fix the laptop only where it need to be fixed. Change only the hard disk.

Guess I won't be upgrading my laptop after all. LOL

On Wednesday after the new furniture comes in, it'll be "LEGO" time!! I'm really looking forward to it. It's fun to assemble your own furniture.

I hate spring cleaning because it's hard to throw things away. Too much sentiments in me. But I have been doing well for the last 12 hours, I hope so.

Spring Cleaning

I made muffins for the first time. It didn't taste good but still edible. LOL

Brob is leaving tomorrow afternoon so I can't go for the WallE Gala which happens at the same time. For the past two weeks I've been spending lots of time with friends that are going away for a long time, and also I played some catch ups with a few good old friends and people that I have been neglecting. I guess after both ML and Brob take flight, it's time to give lots of well deserved attention to my two nieces.

I bought some furniture for my room FINALLY. Those new pieces really means a lot. For a long time since I moved into this jumbo apartment, my room has only a 2 door conner wardrobe and a bed and two mismatch pieces from my old home, I've been using my mom's dresser next door. Mainly its because I thought I had over spent on my budget for my room in the first place. I kind of blew 2 thousand dollars away with the curtains, mattress, pillows, bedsheets, wardrobe and paint. So this trip back to Ikea, I got myself matching furnitures, a chest of 3 drawers which double up as a dresser, a book shelf, table lamp, a writing table and a chair and surprisingly it cost me less than $300 this time which includes delivery. The color theme of the furnitures in my room are, white and silver. Most of my walls are white except for one side which is painted in purperish-pink. My bedsheets are in whites and purpleish-pink and so are my curtains.

I'm making another trip back to Ikea to pick up some stuffs next week. Gotta get new bedsheets with matching curtains, a new curtain rod and some nice boxes to organize my things too. I hope I won't spend more than $200 this time because I am thinking of repainting my room.

By the way can anyone tell me where can I get a nice sleek looking fan in shades of whites and silver? Mom made it a law in the house that no one is to turn on the the AC........

Unjust

This is a very silly part of me, I know. But the inner child really wants to play. There's no logic and pretense to it. I must do it sometime, sooner or later. Worn out by the old age of empire, tired of holding on to the endless zero hour. I need to move on for my conquest to command and conquer and head back to some sim-plicity, at least for a while. Why is this happening to me?

Perhaps its the trip to the EA office that trigger all these mixed feelings. I can't help but to be awed by the wall of fame, 10 years of fun and for me it all started with the need for speed. The most painful moment was the feeling of so near yet so far. Those game testers were cruelly teasing my inner child with their super high tech machine and super big flat screen TV. So much envious for the 360s while the old halo looking rusty above my head. Those were the days.... I had to focus on what I was supposed to do instead and had to keep on reminding myself that I'm there at the EA office to work because that was my location on set, for the day.

An evil thought came into my mind this moment of time, especially after both Brob and Mag bought themselves new laptops. I have the urge smash my 2 year old laptop to make excuse for a new one, so that I can be reunited with my virtual world once more. Yes you may, go on and minus 80 points from both my IQs and EQs.

Back To Life

In real life no matter what happens, the sun will still shine the same the next day. Not that I don't feel sad about the deaths of my two relatives anymore but I have to make sure the sun in my heart still shines for the living such as my friends, relatives and family. It's time to let go and move on. It's time to get back to work. It's time to come back to life.

My next shoot date will be on 6th August. Small part this time but in the actor's 101, no part is too small and creativity should be the main focus point of any actor.

I was at the Money no enough2 movie gala and walked the red carpet. Even though I was smiling and waving to the audiences on stage at Vivo City but actually I had fallen ill on that day and with the 5 inch heels I wore added more burden to my already weaken body. But I really love those shoes even they were killing my feet. So much for the price of beauty........

On the 9th August I'm gonna be Jacq's 2nd unit wedding photographer cum outdoor make up artist. This is gonna be fun because we are going to various location from 8am - 11pm for the shoot and the highlight of the photo shoot will be during the fireworks! It's been a while since I work on a digital camera. Gotta go to my photographer friend and beg him to give me a refresh course.

I'm currently still working on DIVA Part3 - Being Versatile.
I'll post it up as soon as possible.

3 quarter empty

3 quarter empty glass of water or just a mere quarter full of water? Either way it leaves me the feeling of total dissatisfaction. This feeling is different from the half full or half empty glass of water theory thingy, if anyone get what I mean. Never mind...............

Another death occurred in my family. Two deaths within 3 days. Did I mention I also saw a dead kitten just 200 meters from home?

Yeah, I'm angry. I was upset but now I'm angry, at myself. Three life lessons learned from these three deaths, 2 humans and a cat.

I'll be a stronger person the next day.........
