Lost Memories..

It seems like I have been neglecting this blog of mine, where in fact, I was actually quite free in the office. It has always been the case, that I have alot of ideas to write about, but when I started to type something, everything goes blank. And the only things I can remember are the drips and drags of the initial ideas that I wanted to pen down. But then again, if I dun start somewhere, when will I ever start? Ok, so I have decided to pen down what I can remember, some of the initial ideas that I wanted to write about.. Here goes...

1. Perspective : Everyone have their own perspective on how they percieve something. Where some people would just keep to themselves, there are some who will like to make theirs known to all. A minority(I hope) would also force theirs onto other people. However, did they think about the feeling of the person whom they force their perspective onto? How can you impose your thinking on another person when you have not gone through what they have? Therefore, I think that those people who do that are actually talking crap. (I cannot remember the rest already..haha..)

2. Communications : The Art of Communications. Not everyone is able to hold a conversation well, but I do know a few who can. I myself is not capable of holding an intelligent conversation, but when it comes to talking crap, I believe I should be among the cream of the crop(lolx). However, I would like to focus on those who have a strong desire to outspeak the other party during a conversation, basically, those who do not want to lose. They probably do not realise, but that creates a 'barrier' around them, leading to eventually, other people who are not as outspoken, to stop talking to them. Because seriously, who will feel good if he/she is CONSTANTLY outspoken and losing? I bet you will not feel good as well right? (Same case, cannot remember much..)

These are the 2 for now. I will add on on my next post when I can remember more of what I had wanted to write. There are a few more, but sadly, I cannot remember except for the title. Therefore, I will not write them down for now. Stay tuned for my next post =)

PS: The above post is not targetted at anyone specifically. These are just my thoughts and perspective. So, please do not read too much into it =)

Temptations

As the title suggests..Yes, I'm being tempted.. Of course, by gadgets again...

This has always been the case ever since I was introduced into the world of computers at the tender age of 10. Yes, at age 10. While other boys of that age were playing catching, hide-and-seek, pak goli, I was at home fixing computers. Nope, I'm not those geeky kid with those 50mm glasses. In fact, I was considered the sporting kind. Hmm.. How did I manage my time back then, juggling between playing with the other boys out there and being a computer geek back in my room? *wonders*

I can be considered one of those 'well-to-do' kid, as back then, a computer was considered an expensive toy. I do not have 1, but 2, in my house. 1 belonging to my elder brother, and 1 to me. Both of them were DIY-ed. Can you believe it? A DIY computer by a 10 year old kid? Actually, it was my brother who taught me how to fix mine up. He also taught me the basic troubleshooting. From then, my interest in gadgets started growing.

Ok, too long winded about the past.. Fast forward, so now you know how my craving for new gadgets come about. Back to the topic..

I was having dinner with my buddy the other day at Causeway Point when I found out that he had gotten an iPhone. I played with it for a while and the temptation started to grow in me to get one as well. I orginally wanted to get the iPhone because I wanted a 3G phone with a GPS capability, because I didn't want to spend extra money to get a GPS. So when Singtel announced that they were going to release the iPhone, I placed a reservation.

However, my brother found a HTC phone during his trip in Phuket, and he decided to use that phone instead, passing his Dopod phone to me, which has a GPS function. Then, I decided that since I have gotten what I wanted, I can forget about the iPhone. But as time goes by, more of my friends started to switch to the iPhone, and after playing with the iPhone, my heart began to itch.

Not only the iPhone, I had wanted to get the Nintendo Wii as well. And PS3. Haha, all these are written on my Wishlist. HOWEVER, I know that now is not the time to get these gadgets YET, since I do not need them URGENTLY. Once in a while, I will still crave for them, but somehow rather, that angel of mine will pop out to remind me that I have to save up for the upcoming events... =)

So now what I can do is pray that I strike TOTO or 4D, then all these gadgets will find their way to my house.. Hehehehehe...
