Oh Boogie
Hello!Welcome to www.whispering-bliss.blogspot.com!
I'm finishing the book True Evil by Greg Iles soon. Hopefully I can move on to a new book tomorow.
My views on the Rolly at present:
It is simply BLARDY CUTE! Damn, I want one! Impulse buying/purchase will most likely be the best selling point. Have 2 or more of them do their animation in sync, and they are the cutest dancers around! The white Rollys' are not simply eggs. They are hard boiled eggs! The black Rollys' are century eggs!!! Omg, they are simply cute cute cute!!
Sure enough, it's quite an expensive piece of robotic dancing equipment. But with 1.2 watts of speakers on each side of the arms, they are powerful. Definitely better in sound quality compared to ANY brand of handphones. They are portable. And bluetooth equipped, A2DP. That means, hell yeah, the 2gb internal isn't alone. Sure there are a few downsides here and there. But hey, I'd get a Rolly. No, correction, I'd get 2.
I love the song Seeker on Dj Max 2.
I love the book True Evil written by Greg Iles. Though at some point, I actually figured a few things out here and there. But it's fuuun.
I'm tired. Even on a day off. Like it or not, I'm tired. I'm in lalaland....Heheh...As stated by Hanani. I'm too tired to leave the house. Let alone pass her the T-shirt she has requested.
Can't believe I could actually feel the weight of my entire body 4 in the afternoon, on a day off. Just to what extent am I fatigued? I would really love to find out.
I've been thinking lately. I've been reminded. I don't know. Can I just break down?
Goodness, I am tired. I want to sleep, I want to rest, I want time to myself! Argh!! Words can't express how tired I am from working. I can only take a day off once a week, ugh, and my next day off is on the 18th, but I'm not resting on that day. I'm going back to school(Yes, SCHOOL). Then there's planning of the BBQ that the Planting Hope team will be attending(I really really really hope that she goes.)
On the 23rd, I'll be heading off to Sony Style(Or Gallery, whichever) to learn more about the Rolly. Rolly, a darn cute product that has stereo speakers, Bluetooth, and actually dances to the tune and rythm, AND tempo of the music. How neat and cute is that? Starting price is $699, including tax. I shan't be getting one. It's not exactly the best piece of audio equipment around, and if you drop it, I'm afraid it won't survive it. I've seen two in real life, one actually functional, but no longer functional today. And am I impressed by what it can do. It's a neat gadget, granted. However it's not exactly something practical. It's more of something that you bring out, and it sends out a non-verbal shout-out of: "Hey, look at me, I'm rich, I have something you don't." Like a snob. How're you ever going to use it outside anyway? And personally I think earphones would do better justice anyway. So, is Rolly something worth getting all psyched up for? My verdict: No. It's simply not worth it, it's too expensive. Blowing away $300 for a good hi-fi system or the same $699 for a home theatre system with 7.1 channels would do way better justice for your wallet and definitely packs more bang for buck. Period.
I'm beginning to think I should stop hoping. Then again, why was anything said ever said to me??? I'm confused about what to think...
First off, my knee hurts. Not like hell, but, good enough for me to limp for half a day. Granted that I have old injuries on both knees, but why now? I don't understand. Maybe because it's from straining myself during the trip in Cambodia?(I kinda miss Roza and his weird almost French-like accent)
Ugh, what is up with him? Stealing my PS3 from me? I served that customer, and I think I have the right to open that receipt you know? That invoice is mine, and not for you to open? Just who the hell do you think you are? Just so because you're a good year older, doesn't mean you can forget I'm 2 years your senior in the shop. So what if you're good at selling Vaio(s)? Can you do mp3, handycam, and cybershot??? If you're so capable and hardworking, I wouldn't hear 3 people doubting your abilities ever since last thursday. Goodness, get your own customers would you? Damn, I'd let the old man rearing the mp3 section open my receipt than you because he's good at his job and he grabs his own ricebowl, and no one else's! ASSHOLE!!
Aye, sorry if I've said something that's gone too far. I sincerely hope you'd forgive and forget. However that's asking the sun to stop burning, as I'd not known you enough to have mention anything of that line. Sorry.
I was actually forgotten. By a little someone. I shan't name who. That'd make things a little be...more fun.
The journey embarked on 22nd of November of the year 2008, have indeed been a fruitful one of self-discovery. There, I've learnt about several things about myself, and without exception, others around me.
Tact is a very important trait. I've come to realize during the trip. Enough of this, and on to what I want to say.
On the plane, I was honestly shocked that I've really made the decision to set off on this trip. It's something I've never expected myself to do. Definitely not the first time I'm in a foreign country without my parents. But definitely, something I expect someone like me to do. To actually help others. Ultimately I find myself labouring away at pounding rocks into the earth so as to compress the soil. Playing with kids who speak a totally different language from the one I do. Walking barefooted into a flooded Padi field to collect a stalk of rice. This ticks against the box: Outside comfort zone. It ticks thrice.
The biggest disappointment I have, is to not have the chance to interact with the kids properly. There's always a barrier. Put aside the fact that 80% of the time I'm at the worksite slaving away as physical help(literally), I can't seem to interact with the kids. I don't know how. Though most might see this as a help, because I didn't get emotionally attached to the orphans. But that changes my entire objective being in Cambodia. I was there on a service learning trip, not on a trip to only provide physical labour. I was there to bring back something that I could appreciate. But I didn't. So maybe I have fulfiled the expectations of the trips, but I have not fulfilled my own expectations.
The 2nd disappointment throughout the trip, was the disturbing reality that my phone IS my camera. Just what sort of shots am I supposed to take with a camera that possibly can't go beyond ISO 500, and the lens' already scratched. I want a proper camera. And I had to endure someone's crap about my photography at work today. Someone who has completely no knowledge about how to maintain a camera. Someone who doesn't know what sort of photography I do. Someone who doesn't know that I can't work on a camera that I'm completely unfamiliar with, and can barely find the "Toggle Flash" button because it's superlative foreign. So I'll make it blatant here. I do ABSTRACT photography, not EVENT photography. Personally I prefer abstract because of the free flow of possibilities that are present. The elements are all over the place, and it's up to one's imagination to act as the limits. Meaning to say, without an imagination, you are limited. Get this straight or I might yell at you at point blank.
Back to the point-The trip. The food is good.
Also, I wish I had not taken some shots I had taken. Especially of someone, because it digs up the past so badly.
Let me catch some sleep first. Before I get down to business tomorow night.
