Mac OS X 102

1. Figured out how to input Chinese text into MS Word. My dad will be happy at how easy it is to configure Chinese input.
2. Tried to transfer data from a portable hard drive into the Mac and got a mini shock when the hard drive failed to register with the OS. Thought that, like [...]

iPod 101

1. Mac formatted iPods don’t work with Windows (unless someone can tell me otherwise)
2. iPods automatically sync with iTunes… and iCal, iAddressbook, iPhoto if you want it to. Syncing is a breeze.
3. Adding non-iPod formatted videos is not quite the chore I imagined it to be. It involves the Export function on Quicktime Pro, after [...]

Project Runway E6

I’m at a loss for words. Alison’s out. I don’t get it why they chose to send her home instead of the “mentally unstable” (according to Laura) Vincent who makes the ugliest things every week somehow ends up being in the show despite almost always being the bottom two! If they kept Kayne in because [...]

windows to mac transition problems

1. I’m not sure if the same iPod can be configured to work on both the Mac and Windows platforms. Supposedly yes, I’m not sure how, but it involves formatting the iPod to a Windows version first before connecting it to a Mac. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, it doesn’t work that way. Now my [...]

First Impressions: Macbook Pro

I got the Macbook Pro today and am still getting used to the whole thing.
NUS kind of spoiled the experience a bit by installing some rubbish and authentification password (without telling me!) and thus I couldn’t get some stuff installed.
So I restored the OS and guess what? The Mac OS is 15GIG! So much [...]

photos from Tokyo and HK

I saw some crazy eyewear in Harajuku and decided to be adventurous!

HAHA!! Thanks Jane for these!
On another note, it’s Hyun-Jung’s birthday today! So happy birthday Hyun-Jung!
One day I’ll go to Seoul and we’ll go to Jeju Island and have fun!

a sense of excitement…

…is what I am supposed to feel. Going to somewhere new is exciting, but for people who are tired of their present lives, it’s really more of a relief.
I’m not really sure what I’m feeling right now. It’s kinda of that mixed up feeling of not thinking properly about making certain decisions and now it’s [...]

mobile phones

I don’t get mobile phones. They simply aren’t phones anymore. They are phones masquerading as cameras or mp3 players or pdas, or perhaps cameras and mp3 players and pdas masquerading as phones.
I don’t need a phone that can take beautiful high res pictures or captivating video shoots or blast the living daylights of the poor lady [...]

So here it is.
