Yeap. I have been having this craving for too long... and I can't afford it. So I decided to split it into 2..... iPhone= iPod + Phone.... That's when I started researching on iPod Touch... and it seems that iPod Touch + some ciplak phone is cheaper.
So yesterday night after work, I took a bus to the nearest Apple reseller and bought it. Just a swipe of the card... 10 seconds after and the transaction was completed. Didn't hurt my wallet at all... but wait till the bill comes in the following month... wait a minute... today is June...... crap... I'll have to look at the bill earlier than I thought... haih...
Anyway, I spent the whole night configuring everything..... and I only realized Singapore has this technology called Wireless@SG. Free sign up and then can surf the internet everywhere (except for residential areas and some really hulu places like NTU ... =.=""" ...of course the speed is limited to 512kbps... that's what you get when it is free I guess... anyway, I am very happy with all its functions so far... now trying to get more applications from iTunes...
Yes. The price. I guess it is pretty standard. SGD 327.90 = iPod Touch, silicone casing, small speaker, portabe USB charger, screen protector and one really weird device which I am still trying to figure out...

没有妳的日子真难过
As much as I hate to admit it, but I am really missing you already.
I never knew how much you meant to me until you are away.
For I have taken you for granted all these years.
Now I could spend hours with you without the slightest sense of boredom.
Your voice soothes me when no one else could.
You keep me sane in this geniuses-filled place called NTU.
G** I wished you were here in my room right now.
But that is against the rules of course... (It never hurts to imagine...)
While I tried to get by my days with another substitute,
It is not the same, it will never be the same.
I can't wait till July when I go back to my home.
And just spend my one-month break with you.
Lol... Since when have I been so sentimental? As a matter of fact, most of what I said is true. I have gone on without my piano (when I say piano, I mean a proper one, not keyboards) for about a month already. I tried playing the keyboard in my hall's music room, but tak syok langsung.... touching langsung tak ada... haih.... this happens because my Summer Research working hours clash with Music Room's operating hours. I just wished I could take a day off and spend some quality time with my beloved grand piano but with all this work piling up, I don't think it is even possible.
For what it is worth, I will be back in Malaysia for the whole July. My mentor is going back to France for her daughter's wedding.... she is marrying a Malaysian in France... how ironic and this also shows how kepo I am... go and 'bat' my mentor's family history...lol
Countdown towards seeing you: ONE MONTH.... =(

My demanding working hours are keeping me away from you.
It has been a month since I last touched you.
It started with a slight interest, and now I find myself inseparable from you.Now I could spend hours with you without the slightest sense of boredom.

My first Mohawk
This is the second time I visited this hairstylist that my friend introduced me to. The first time he convinced me to start styling my hair using wax. Please note that I HATE hair products... somehow my hair will become really dry and clump together but you should have seen how furious he got when he realised I never styled my hair before.... so since then I started on and off... mostly failures... still working on that...
After 2 months, I went to visit him again. I told him the last haircut was too difficult for me. I asked him to change some other hairstyle.... he replied 'okay' and we started our session. He didn't even tell me what he was going to do. What happened next was still quite overwhelming to me. Within 5 minutes, his scissors and hair clippers flew all around my head... at the end of it, he told me 'o ya, this is a mohawk-inspired hairstyle' .......... WT*.... I have seen mohawk and honestly I am not even close to having the courage to carry that style.... then he started styling... the amount of aerosol he used could have made a football-field-sized hole in the ozone... I was literally choking, grasping for air as he went on....
To be fair, this is not a real mohawk... but it is as far as I will go....
So, there you have it. My first "mohawk"...

Side view
Back view
For what it is worth, he charges SGD 10 including hairwash, haircut and hairstyling... I think it is quite fair....

Passed !
Yeap. I passed my NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) test! To be fair, the passing rate is 100%. As long as you do the training and register for the test, you'll sure pass.... but I am still very glad. This is the first thing I have got out of Summer Research....
PS: Have a safe trip. Remember the table trick. It can save your life ... =)
Results day countdown: 6 days .... =) (smiley face was forced by C****** Y** H** Y**)...

Terkena Liquid Nitrogen ... =(
Every morning, one of my duties is to change the liquid nitrogen (we use it to condense evaporated solvent). Since my mentor is away for meeting for the morning, the lab was all to myself ... Muahahaha .... lol .... so I did the usual stuff and when I got to liquid nitrogen part... as I tried to rapidcool the condenser, I was careless enough to let it go in too fast... needless to say, liquid nitorgen spilled out and landed on my hand....
Despite the protection form the gloves, actually I don't think the gloves offerred much insulation, I immediately sufferred a frost bite. There was no one in the lab to help me out. So I had to do according to the safety procedure... I removed my gloves and disposed them quickly, soaked my hands in running water... gosh, at this point the frost bite was overcome by a burning sensation (literally I felt my hands were being burnt)... unfortunately the running water didn't help. My skin that was in contact with that potent liquid began to turn purple... even in the oven (for drying apparatus), the pain didn't stop ....
You know what. I can go on and on about this.... The fact is liquid nitrogen did hit me, but I just shook my hands a few times and it evaporated... as for the cold... it was more like ice water on your hands .... The whole story just now is just to illustrate how dangerous liquid nitrogen is (from what I heard) and how CRAPPY it is... living proof here...lol... in small amount like a spill it is no big deal. Of course don't go and immerse your hands in it!!!!
Moral of the story: Don't believe everything people say about the danger of liquid nitrogen.... and I am really bored (my mentor is still in the meeting), just trying to do something stupid ... =)
