MAC LOVERS!

Just to share  abit of my experience with mac apps.. 



These are a few mac apps I've found rather useful, you can just google them up, they're freeware. 



Adium - A messenger that links a few messengers together, for example you can use MSN, googletalk, AOL and all in one simple messenger. However it doesn't support nudges and most smileys, or web cam.


iGetter - Download manager for Mac! No complains about this one.


Transmissions - A Bittorent for mac.


SmcFanControl - Lets you control your fan speed and make it go faster when ur comp is hot


VLC - For mac.. Plays almost every video file.


Deeper - A software that lets you unlock hidden functions in Leopard.





Theres lots more, what I did to find nice softwares is to search download.com or other famous software download sites for freeware (Yea I'm cheap =P)

Softwares that you wouldn't mind buying IMO is iWork (Word, Powerpoint, Excel in Mac style) and Parallels (Runs Windows and Mac OS together).


Cheers =)

FIRST DAY OF SECOND SEM

Ah.. It was a good day. 

Few things have changed since the sem holidays.

Jasmine and Tim have BOTH dyed they're hair RED. Such a coincidence!

My Celcom broadband is working at GREAT SPEEDS (14KB/s) due to a technical adjustment I professionally made. (Moved it nearer the window)

We have BORING LECTURERS. At least for monday classes.

Wednesday is now my free day. And you know what is good about having wed as your free day?
- It's Movie Day! 

I have no car as my dad just realized that my road-tax expired. Sienz.



BUT besides that things are pretty the same, Li Ying is still making people buy her jazz band tickets and Candy is still making ppl carry her books AND Tim is still waking up EARLY =P





P.S.

Just to let you know, today I had a prof as one of my new lecturers. So he was talking about this compilation he wanted us to buy, Cost RM 40. So for some of us RM 40 is a lot la (3000 pages) but he said...

"How much is this book compared to the money your pay to download your phone!"

Yea. Download


So then he went on for about 20mins rambling about us generation spending hundreds per month DOWNLOADING our phone.

AND THEN

He realized he made a mistake! SO he said:


"Sorry sorry, I used a wrong word, I meant UPLOADING."




Let me remind you this guy is a PROFESSOR! He has a bachelors, masters, and PhD in Hawaii.



It's RELOAD Prof. 

Reload.

Results/ Leaving

I've gotten my uni results for the 1st sem.

Well, I didn't do that BAD, but I didn't do that GOOD either.

I'm happy with my results though.


Of course I'm not gonna post it here, but you can always ask me. I've never been ashamed of not being top in the class =P

But I warn you first.. I didn't do THAT bad.. So don't come expecting to step on me!


I find it really funny though, I scored on all my non-mass com subjects and did OK only on my mass com subjects. Haha.. Maybe now I know where to buck up =D





ANYWAYS..



Will be leaving back to start my battle in USM again this Saturday (20th) at 12pm or so. I've already had a long debate with my dad and he has reluctantly allowed me to drive a portion of the journey to penang =D


So bye to all u KL and SK kakis. AND hello to penangites. However I will only be back in USM on the 21st (Sunday), So i know u guys can't wait to see me but be patient ok =D


This sem will be more pack than the last. I'm taking just as many subjects, but last sem my subjects were more light. Like scuba and TITAS.

This subject I expect to be pretty busy. omg.. I think I just said I will be busy.





For once i guess =/

Songs I wish I could sing

We were both young when I first saw you
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, please don't go
And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

So, I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

Oh oh
Cause you were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
But you were my everything to me
I was begging you, please don't go
And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Romeo, save me
They try to tell me how I feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said

Romeo, save me
I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head
I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said

Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Have u ever felt it before? There's this nice song, probably the best you've ever heard!

But it's for the other sex -.-



LIKE

imagine a guy singing 'pretty boy - M2m', or a girl singing 'if you're not the one- Daniel Bedingfield'.


ANYWAYS...


Here's the song if you've never heard it before



P.S. I'm actually blogging from my toilet. =P

To the dog.

When you call her immature it means one thing.

You don't understand.

If that's true, it means something else.

I can ignore you.

Nostalgia

Take a walk with me into the past,

Down memory lane..

As I open the box of old relics from my journey in life..
(what the!? just read la!)


These were my old sandals =D


I LOVED this action figure. I got it in the US from a burger king kid's meal. It's John Smith from Pocahontas. It used to be my favorite toy =)


My first music cert. When I was only 6 years old!



Some construction rocks used to make cement.
I picked them up from the first mission trip I made to Pekan.
It was the first time i did hard labour under the sun!



Back in the days when I plated maple =/



How about school?

These two name tags were from the Prefects and the Marching Band.
I ambitiously joined both in Form 1.
In Form 2, I left both    XP



My library card!
If you're observant enough, you will notice a small cut on the upper right corner, It's because I lost a book before! It cost me RM 15 to replace it, only to find it the next day!



I used to go for lots of tuition, but never paid much attention!



Then there was form 6. Here's a photo I found of my Social Science club.
Our advisory teacher didn't even know the meaning of social science!
She had us doing social work and all o.0


And then there's SIB.
The card on the left was the card I got on my first day to New Song. 25.8.01
In the middle is from eo3 where I was a participant
On the right from eo6 where I was a facilitator.


And an old photo I found of E=
Those were the days! Basketball at 4am =X



From my cell O2 on my birthday.



Portrait! I composed and helped out in the band here.


And the planning of the next big hit!




Then there are the tokens you get from friendships.
This one is from a guy name joseph I met at a Anti-Dadah camp.
The camp only lasted 5 days but the few of us were best of buddies!



MOST of these books were given by my mom =.=
I spot one from phil though. Joshua Harris! haha..


My Godma gave me this. It's a great mystery how they got the nail into the wood block!
There is no glueing or melting involved!



There also many cards, from many people, for many different occasions =D


But sometimes we lie when we write notes don't we?
Like la she'd eat my burgers if i sell ramli burger next time.




Moving on, there are the left behinds of past relationships.




But every relationship came to an end.


Here's Daniel getting dumped in paper X_X



And with the relationship came crashing down all the promises we make.



We get hurt along the way



But then..

There's always the future.

A few gifts I got from Vern,


I even wrote down her schedule the first time I talked to her!
I was so afraid I would forget =P


And in terms of church and school,
It's time to move on to the next season in life.



I agree with what someone said:

"One of the reasons God gave us time, 
Is so that we have a past:
To burry our mistakes"




I've came a long way, But there's still so much more to come!

I'm only 20! 

3 quarters of my life are yet to be lived out!


So 2009,

HERE I COME!


WARNING!! RANDOMNESS!!!

RECENTLY, My mom has me being her slave doing all kinds of hse work for her coming christmas party. Oh btw..

WHOEVER WANTS TO COME TO MY XMAS PARTY IS INVITED! IT'S 7TH DEC (TOMORROW)

So I haven't really gotten out lately.. AND You know WHAT??

My mom gave me RM 100 Yesterday, And then she said:


"Daniel, this is for you until you go back to pg."

WHAT!!??

You should know that at that point of time I had absolutely NO money in my wallet. Like BROKE. AND HOW DO U EXPECT ME TO LIVE ON 100 FOR 3 WEEKS!!!!

I know some of you would sympathize with me while others will think : "This Daniel too materialistic." 

* Incidentally the word Sympathize is SO HARD TO SPELL!! I spelt it wrong 4 times.. Samore my apple is in American Eng, So theres the zzzzzzz*



OK BUT...

Talking materialism. 

I have decided that I will STOP buying expensive stuff. For at least the end of the year =D


Besides the swimming trunks that I plan to buy. That one must get good one la.. Cuz I'm gonna be using it alot.

AND



oh yea.. I"M NOT GOING PHUKET ANYMORE!!

I haven't told my boss la.. But I think he will understand after all that partying that is happening in the airports these few days. But I think my dad said they resolved it already? Anyways my boss took so long to tell me about the details on the trip even after I smsed to pester him so i guess the trip is over. It's just an assumption but I think it's a pretty good one.


Maybe next time we can go swimming in perhentians. Actually can still go now wan. But a lot of ppl say monsoon all.. I think it won't matter rite? I mean monsoon means LESS PPL AND MORE FISH!



Actually Right now. I mean right now as in when I'm typing, not when you're reading this, unless ur reading this while I'm typing this, but that'd be just freaky.

OK.

RIGHT NOW,

I'm supposed to be vacuuming the floor.


So bye.
