1 MONTH IN PORTSMOUTH

eVonne - A Song for You

I was alone
You came alone
And gave your heart to me
And I knew but.I was scared to tell you
Just how much.How much I need you
And I wanted.I wanted to show you
Just how much.How much I adore you

And then one day
I heard you say
You'd always stand beside me
Then I knew.I knew I had to tell you
Just how much.How much I thank you
So I found.I found a way to tell you
Just how much.How much I love you

And so today
I want to say
I'll always stand beside you
And I swear.I swear I'll always love you
As long.As long as you need me too
And I found.I found a way to tell you
That this song.This song's just for you
That this song. This song says... I love you.

WINDSOR CASTLE

yeah so today i went to windsor castle... really cool place but too bad i couldnt take photos of the interior... they scared the flash will burn the castle down again... lol yeah so i went to the st george's chapel where they burried most of the kings and knights there... creepy but the architecture was amazing... especially since it was built in that time and the technology of the building was just amazing... then i went to see queen mary's doll house... wtf man... its so realistic! the rooms were so well intricately decorated and with such realism... like the chess pieces were so real! the books had actual pages with writing inside too! then i went to tour the state apartments... there was like an armoury room full of guns, sabres etc then the different roal rooms... the bedroom is like 10 times the size of my dorm la.... -_- the dressing room was just as big... and every room was different... including the celing and carpeting... wtf man... hahaha so after touring the castle, i went to tour the town, cross the Thames river, find some quirky shops, do some shopping and grab some grub before heading back to Portsmouth for dinner... had craving for seafood hor fun... haha and lucky it was served there too! lol well then enjoy the pics... too tedious to upload onto blogger...

portsmouth museum

spinnaker tower

torpedo! hahaha

ONLINE SHOPPING

yeah so i just had this crazy idea of setting up a UK shopping collection point. so u buy stuff from uk, mail it to me and i mail it back home... haha cos theres miss selfridge, dorothy perkins, topshop, warehouse, la senza, river island, topman and marks and spencer cos their choc and snacks are cheap! yeah books are also cheap here. waterstones for example... anyways sea freight is like £150 for 90kg, which is like 3 bookchests of 31X41X51cm each having a max of 30kg. £125 for 30kg, £140 for 60kg. if u take the £150 for 90kg, it'll work out to be £1.70/kg X 2.54 = ~$4.30 SGD/kg. takes 56 days though... any takers? lol

ONENOTE 2007

omg im so into onenote 2007... like last time i used to do notes in hardcopy... now its softcopy! haha and so much easier too! but thats with the help of my digi cam's function of auto cropping the pic cos theres this whiteboard mode... yeah so its just snap snap snap pics of my lecture notes and just drag them into onenote... then go online and research for more into and clip them to the side. i can even highlight! hahaha oh wells just one pointer... do not install the ms office 2007 sp1 cos if u do, u'll lose a couple of functions. the bad part is that u cannot uninstall the sp1... u have to system restore as uninstalling and reinstalling office does not work. yeah

ZHENG MY LAPPY!!!

OMFG! i just finished zheng-ing my lappy man! hahaha its so fucking awesome!

ok so in the background is the mac os leopard wallpaper which u can get from anywhere... then at the bottom is this really cool app called rocketdock... then then cool fan appearance is a patch from it called stacks docklet.

then this is another app called vista virtual desktop manager... a really neat app that lets u do multiple stuff at the same time. so like on the top left corner i'm reading up on journals and stuff, on the top right corner is my itunes, on the bottom left corner im blogging and doing all my leisure stuff and in the bottom right corner is free. u can make up to 16 of these i think... pretty neat huh? haha im such a tech freak... lol

now my com feels like a mac... hahaha cos the rocketdock is like the mac's docklet and the virtual desktop is like mac's spaces application. all without the hassle of owning a mac! hahaha

ps never ever install this theme called vista os X. if u do, before installing u gotta create a recovery point cos the uninstaller does not work. theres only a half working one out in the web. ya but anyways the creater made this theme by "stealing" the apps of rocketdock, stacksdocklet, vista virtual manager, the left sided minimise n close buttons, the green, yellow and red buttons and threw in an ad into the startup to brag his stolen creation. luckily i managed to revert the settings to just leaving me with the mouse settings as that of a mac. haha eat that u stealer.
