.

I redo high fives if they weren’t good enough the first time
I Hate Getting Texts That Only Say “k”
I really hate slow computers
Whenever You feel Worthless, Remember, You Were Once The Quickest Sperm
A Computer Without Internet, Pointless.
A Lion would never cheat on his wife.. but a Tiger wood.
I walk into a room. I forget why I went there. I walk out. I remember.
“What’s up?” “Sky, Ceiling, Fan..”
I hate when I don’t know how to comfort an upset friend.
“Let me copy your homework” “My answers might be wrong.” “Its okay.”
Walking round in circles when on the phone
biggest lie ever: “i have read and agree to the terms of use” ?
Ooooooooh, That sounds a bit harsh, I better put “lol” on the end of it
“Dude that song is so old.” “so is your mum but you still listen to her”
Girls-”he’s so hot” Boys-”he’s gay”
When I was younger I used to take my mum or dad’s phone to play Snake
MY SISTER SAID IF I GET ONE MILLION FANS SHE WILL NAME HER BABY MEGATRON
“Did you do the homework?”, “Yup”, “Dammit you said you wouldn’t!”
Why do we have to be quiet during a fire drill? Will the fire hear us?
Parents only say ‘don’t answer back’ when they know they’re getting OWNED
I stand in the shower aimlessly for ages just because its warm
Im telling the truth, but then i smile , and then they think im lying
After an argument I think about clever things I should have said
I don’t suck at the subject, my teacher just sucks at teaching it
Please don’t pick me, please don’t pick… Aww Crap.
When i turn off the light, i run to my bed incase something eats me
Im quite aware you are staring at me, but im pretending not to notice
I want to Become a Fan. But I think i should keep that a secret.
Why learn algebra? Finding X is only useful if you’re a pirate!
You think i did a crap job? Do it yourself then.
OH CRAP . you just said something really sweet, now what do I say ?
I say things that make no sense when I’m over tired
Tom, Its Been 30 Years … Your Not Going To Eat Jerry
Yes, I do feel better when theres a smiley in the text you send me
I Try To Finish My Dream By Trying To Sleep Again After Waking Up
We talk to each other on the computer, but in public it’s awkward
I was waiting for a reply and then realized I never even sent the last text
Dear Math, I Don’t Want To Solve Your Problems, I Have My Own To Solve

RICHMOND (Virginia) – LUKE Soules was one of the first on the planet to get his hands on an iPad. And he wasted no time taking it apart.

After staking out three locations in the Eastern United States, Mr Soules – co-founder of teardown firm iFixit – cracked the device open on Saturday to unearth Nand flash memory by Samsung Electronics, an LCD display from LG Display and microchips from Broadcom Corp, Texas Instruments Inc and NXP Semiconductor.

Mr Soules and his outfit provide and advise on components in Apple gadgets – and also identifies them. The work of teardown firms such as iFixit may prove crucial in identifying which manufacturer gets its parts into a device expected to sell upwards of 5 million units in 2010 alone. Mr Soules had slept overnight in the parking lot outside an Apple mall store in Richmond, Virginia. He was the first to walk out of the store, moments after the outlet opened at 9am, iPad in hand.

Store employees clapped and gave him high-fives. He grinned, but moved quickly. There was work to do. Without a second’s dawdling, Mr Soules hopped in a waiting car and raced a few short miles to the house of a friend, where he had his tools of destruction ready to go. He barely paused to admire the iPad out of the box. He didn’t even turn it on.

The secretive Apple is famous for designing sealed-up devices intended to discourage nosy gadget heads from poking around in them, and the iPad was no different.

The iPad had no screws. But working with a tool called a spudger, it took Mr Soules only 10 minutes to separate the iPad’s handsome, 9.7-inch facing from its silver-backed casing. He surveyed the iPad’s design, a maze of parts that would be utterly inscrutable to most people. ‘That’s very, very nice,’ he said almost reverentially. — REUTERS

Never been in such a freaky situation before but I was amazed at my calmness. Went to Cicerellos for lunch, and after the meal walked back to the car, on the way noticed that my wallet wasn’t with me >.< Should have just put it back in my pocket directly after ordering the food. Thank God a kind soul found it and pass it to the shop owner instead of taking it (there wasn’t much money but had my student card, atm, ezlink and licence).

Okay, I have been very lazy considering the long break from the previous update since I got back to Singapore last year, so here’s a bumper-update that I have been thinking of doing for a long time already (point-form to avoid being long-winded).

1) Youth Camp – had a great time connecting and catching up with the people I rarely see nowadays.

2) Bryan & Siaw Tze – hosted them in Singapore for a few days, brought them sightseeing.

3) Family Cruise – family went on a cruise to Penang & Phuket. Enjoyed all the great food and bonding.

4) Back to Perth – new accommodation, new friends, bought a car. Looking forward to a more exciting year!
