Leaving home
Posted by Way Siong | | Posted On Wednesday 9 January 2008 at 7:49 pm
In less than ten days It'll be time for me to leave home. Should really be studying now but I'm so lazy nowadays.. The upcoming viva exam is kinda freaking me out.. On a positive note, I'm quite successful in compressing the Tally book.. Soon i'll be able to cover the book in about five days.
Didn't met any friends from home this time round.. Kinda too late to say "hey guys, i'm home" and I have no idea how to say it now. Not really in the mood to go out as well.. wondering why.. Anyway, I'd probably drop some of them a call or something.
The holidays were nice though, traveled to KL a few times to meet my her. Man the shopping centers keep sprouting like mad. Old time favorites like Mid valley and Pyramid got upgraded and there's new places like The Pavillion. Pavillion looks posh and things are quite expensive, but I kinda like it coz it doesn't feel cramped. Mid Valley is filled with people the last time I was there. That was a huge headache.. Met these guys in space suits in Alamanda Putrajaya too. They were promoting a space exhibition in Alamanda that day. The suits are pretty cool, the make cool spacy sounds when they walk..
Anyway, It's nice being home. I like my food, I like my bed, I like to know that my gf's relatively closer :P.
My camera's finally fixed from the freak accident at Newcastle and I got myself a new laptop. The Inspiron 1520 is a charm and works pretty well, except for some vista related issues that keep coming up.. I miss windows xp..
On my trip back I had the chance to fly aboard the A380 with Singapore Airlines. The flight was great and it quite live up to the hype they've been building on since last year. Unfortunately for economy class people like me I don't get the chance to try out the cool bed and bar and stuff..
Too bad for me I had to reduce myself to using my handphone to take the pictures.. I hope it didn't turn out too bad.. Luckilly for me i'm not the only 'sua pa kao' (hokkien for swamp monkey) there as there are quite a lot of people taking shots of the new plane.
Apparently in the aviation industry a few inches mean a lot.. translated to my viewpoint.. it's negligible.. lol! I put more emphasis on foot space and it's not really that much of an improvement in that sense.. But the round windows are certainly cool.. :P
The onboard entertainment system is top notch as well. He's a look at the monitor which is slightly larger than the usual size.
The new system also has a USB slot and a LAN cable port for use in conjunction with it's on board office program, the 'Star Office writer'.
However, with a keyboard like this It's hard to imagine how anyone would want to write anything with that program.. So it's just for show and syok only.. haha!
The remote itself looked like this: it certainly looked sexy.. haha!
Halfway through the flight I was wondering where the lights were, you know, the usual lights were installed on the top of the seats but it's no where to be found.. Then I realised it's here:
It's below the monitor! Damn cool man..
Didn't take any shots of the toilet though, but it's cool.. Hehe!
And man, the wing is huge..
That's all I guess, thanks for reading!
