Vivo City

Church Today,  that same old familiar picture

and Pastor Seet actually agrees with my idealistic ideas about flaws being the true beauty
-

and the idea of timing... lol:

you might find the correct person, but he or she might still be 'under construction', 

-

---

hmm stuck in vivo city from 2pm- 8pm , doing the most fun activity in the world... SHOPPING =)

-

haha

-

saw quite a number of weird things today

-

First stop: Digital Life (Mac Shop), tried out the new Peryn Macbook Pro with  multitouch Track pad.

its uber neat... esp the zoom fuction

-

Second stop: Challenger

saw a few things that caught my eye:

1. Apparently we have a NEW SI unit modifier, the "Maga" 

wonder if that has anything to do with manga

-

2. and saw this really Tiny laptop... almost a rip off the Macbook Air.... no CD drive: Ultra light:

-

me:" Isn't it like the Macbook Air?"

Salesperson: "but cheaper"

-

Pictures:

Front View

Front View With Hand to show actual size

Back view, note that the signboard with the specs is bigger than the laptop itself, its almost as small as a portable DVD player:

it even has a 'multitouch' trackpad... total rip off sia:

and at a measly price of 798 who wants to get a Macbook Air?, on closer inspection of the specs, it isnt exactly your Macbook Air...:

erm... what can you do with 12 GB of Flash HD? 

and a lousy Celeron at 1.1Ghz??

-

not surprising they only loaded XP in it... even Vista starter might have blown its CPU into bits

---

and I went to PageOne after that, saw quite a few erm... 'interesting' things around near the "religion" section:

-

Since when was the gospel of John a "Gnostic Gospel"? a pity the Page One people chucked it together with all the heretical books:

Hmm I don't think Dawkins likes Religion

And placed in a very prominent shelf nearby in all its glory:

Surprisingly I couldn't find the New York Times Best Seller by Osteen anywhere, not in religion, not under self-help, apparently Page One didn't want us to have '(Y)our Best Life Now'

-

---

meeting with Charles after that, and getting lectured...

heh

I do understand what Malcolm had meant the other time... but underneath the perhaps condescending attitude... there is genuine concern... and I'm thankful for it.

-

He thinks he know more than he does... oh well maybe its a good thing

-

The fact that recent posts nowadays do not refer to someone he kept mentioning...  

heh ... he's as bad as Chng and John Tay sometimes... making fun of old stuff...

-

although... Chng... might or might not know...

-

ah well

-

a simplicity is better than overt intellectualism... I remember Mr J Ng once told me in Sec 3:

"You lack the simple faith"

-

and maybe I've found some part of it... just a bit... a mystery i still have yet to grasp... to build the foundation of faith not based on books, complicated theology, but just a simple trusting faith

-

---

and we go off eating, shopping with mum, sis, aunt, cousin

-

heh double standards... mum doesn't like it when i browse and look and see and try(the proper way to shop) but she can do all she wants in that.

-

why do girls have so many different kinds of shoes? it makes shopping for them more troublesome

-

but eitherways, after that i bought something i was eying at for some time... a Macbook Pro Black Crystal casing from Digital Lifestyle =):

-

It looks Really really Nice... sleek shiny and gorgeous, a perfect dress for my baby =)(my wife would be my Taylor 314ce =p )

-

haha

oh well

tmr shall being the Disgusting napfa training regime, IA regime and study regime

-

Poo

i see my holidays flashing away before me...
