My Rubik's cube

I finally got one of my own after “hijacking” Cy’s cube for weeks. :P The orange side on his cube has faded to almost yellow, which can be confusing for a beginner like me who just started learning to solve it.

You could say this is my latest fad hobby. ;) (I’m over the card memory game phase already, haha.)

  • Just splurged close to US$90 on a couple of DVDs I’ve wanted for months: 즐거운 인생 First Press Limited Edition DVD and 한성별곡 Director’s Cut DVD. Shucks. Where the hell is my self-restraint?! Jannah, you still want that iPhone / iPod Touch, do you?
  • Speaking of which, iPhone 3G is landing in exactly 8 days! Oh gosh, if I end up getting one, please let there not be long queues.
  • I really need to book a hotel room for the HK trip, soon.
  • Why are IM clients on Windows so damn ugly???
  • Going Turkish for team dinner tonight & Italian tomorrow with TKGians, woot! :D
  • I swear, replying emails take up more energy than coding. X_x
  • StreetDirectory.com has their maps back, yay!
  • Am totally craaaaaving the cheese baked rice at Eighteen Chefs right now. Gosh, the TORTURE of PMS-induced food cravings!
  • It’s been ages since I bought a damn good movie on DVD because it’s been ages since a damn good movie came out of Korea.
  • Business law started out surprisingly interesting despite its dry nature. I think it has everything to do with my captivating seminar leader. He actually explains law terms in English! :P
  • Wanted: a high-quality, roomy black tote bag to last me for years. Maybe I should just try to live without one until my Hong Kong shopping trip in November.
  • Firefox 3 on Mac looks uncannily like Safari. O.o
  • I now have a pet dog. :D He’s a basset hound and almost as big as me! Any name suggestions?

iPhone 3G will be coming to Singapore! :D According to the website it’s “coming soon”, but who knows how soon is soon, eh? This makes me torn between the iPhone & the iPod Touch. All-in-one devices usually don’t appeal to me, but the idea of a phone inside an iPod (or an iPod inside a phone, depending on how you look at it) is too irresistable. SingTel, please hurry up and bring iPhone in to Singapore so I can decide which one to buy. Thanks hor.

I pre-ordered a copy of FT Island’s Japanese album a week before the release date, but YesAsia pushed forward the shipping date to June 19th! Grrrr, what is this? And since I have The Nuts’ 3rd album in the same shipment, BOTH my CDs are being held up right now. Boohoo. It’ll be end of June by the time they reach me.

Being the lazy shopper that I am, I even buy all my books online nowadays. Ordered a couple from Sitepoint, and they’re on the way right now all the way from Connecticut! Thanks to coupons & free shipping, you can actually get a better deal purchasing directly compared to buying from local bookstores that import the same books. Yeah, I’ve become a very savvy online shopper over the last few years, as you can tell. :P

Dear iPhone, please land in Singapore like, NOW can?

My favourite out of the songs he played for me on the guitar.


Stay (I Missed You) – Lisa Loeb

  1. I received my YUI albums in the mail! God I love her music. Oh no, I feel tempted to start a whole YUI collection now.
  2. My credit card arrived in the mail too. Honestly though, having your name engraved on plastic doesn’t feel as exhilarating as I imagined. :P
  3. He’s (finally) crawled out of his hole & resumed normal programming. Which includes asking me questions I don’t know how to answer. Sigh.
  4. I found the book I’ve been looking for (The Buzan Study Skills Handbook by Tony Buzan) here at a local bookstore.
  5. Went to Zingdo with Mama yesterday and finally got a taste of 떡 (ddeok), a glutinous Korean rice cake that tastes rather spongy & squishy, like nothing I’ve tasted before. Next time I’m there, I’m going to try the stir-fried ddeok.
  6. This weekend will be my first free weekend in months. No school, no deadlines!

Ah, I love this song. I hardly ever listen to English songs, but this one is on the (absolutely fantastic) soundtrack of a K-drama I watched recently. I don’t even know who Winterplay is, or where they’re from!


Who Are You – Winterplay
