How can I get my man to love me more?

When I told him that I would attempt to seduce a guy just to make him jealous, he said the guy would look at me and surely exclaim, “OMG land-based dugong’! =.=

When I whined that Ms Venezuela always win Ms Universe, he asked me to migrate there. I wondered why, since breathing the air and eating the food there would hardly make me gorgeous. He said, ‘at least you can bring down their standards.’ =.=

Someone, teach me how to make this guy love me more please!

Wormy! Arg!

I was savouring durian and saw this. 1, 2, 3….SCREAMS! Arg it’s a bright red wormy measuring about 4cm, surrounded by little red eggs.

That totally ruined my appetite for my favourite fruit…at least for the day. But my dad continued eating and eating and even told me that it tastes delicious. Power. =.=”

DPL, this is for you to kill your durian cravings. Bon appetit! ;)

ScrapBook + Dropbox = Serial Bookmarker’s Wet Dream

Right. Say you do alot of bookmarkings and research for many vast topics, and you’ve got like 100 links to go through and many more pages to copy. Suddenly, your PC crashed and all your bookmarks/notes are lost. What do you do?

Yes, I live in that kind of fear everyday.

However, recently I’ve come across an award winning Firefox add-on called ScrapBook. Basically what it does is that you could either save a selection or the whole page (or even the whole site, up to four levels deep). As described in its site, you could annotate, highlight and even drop sticky notes on the pages you’ve saved. Also, you could save bookmarks too.

But wait, what about if you worked on multiple computers like me?

Another nifty tool would be Dropbox. It is an tool that syncs, backups and shares files on your PC across multiple pcs and even friends. Basically like a network drive.

What I’ve done previously is to point my KeePass password manager’s database in the Dropbox’s private folder, which I would then point any KeePass manager in any OS to dropbox. This would keep my passwords up to date.

This could be done with ScrapBook too. Just Click on Tools>Options in the ScrapBook Sidebar (Alt+K), under Organize tab, choose Location to Store Data to point to your Dropbox folder. And voila, all saved pages, sites and bookmarks synced to all your PCs.

Hope this helps.

a short shot at short stories (or a.k.a ASSASS)

They say comedians are the saddest people in the world because they gave away their laughter to those who paid an arm for a laugh; and another leg if they require some tears to go along with it.

But I have set out my life not to be the saddest person that blows his nose with 100 dollars notes. I defer. I would be the happiest man alive. I intend to achieve this by stealing laughter. Yes, people would come to my shows and go home sobbing. I’ll even sell empty revolvers by the exit, so they will even become more depressed when they choke on a flag that goes ‘Bang!’ in their once-happy room.

I become a stand-up insulter.

My first show was rather an half-arsed success. Mainly, it was not really the right reaction I’ve expected when I stood on my dining table and with a mustard-stained finger, I pointed and mouthed, “Mother, you are not my mother!”.

There is no milk and cookies for supper in the orphanage that night.

Busy as usual

- Ported from Windows XP to Ubuntu 9.04 at home.
- Beta testing Windows 7 RC – so far so good. Better than Vista!
- Beta testing Atmosphir, a multi-platform Win/Linux/Mac “Little Big Planet” like game
- Beta testing SkyGrid, a Bloomberg/Reuters-like online news aggregator. Sadly can’t get an beta invite for CowboyCaleb.
- Working my ass off as usual.
- Ogling at Android platform at work using the emulator.

Now I just need a HTC Magic to complete my life. replace the wonky WinMo LG KS20 I have now.

Sigh. Would love to blog more often, but u get one of those days that drags for months.

I want this HP designer laptop because…

Seriously, a hot red WITH psychedelic floral prints?

This is feminism at its best! Why can’t Vivienne Tam come out with nice, cool metrosexual themed Mini 1000s?

Take for example, the Mini 1000 Mi Edition.

Now, this is something to cater for the guys. In fact, the designer interface looks so good, I’ve skinned my desktop to look like it! And yes, I’ve the best looking theme in my office now, envy of all geek in da ‘hood.

And what else to complete the coolness, with a highly versatile and powerful netbook from HP? Especially, this designer one that HP is giving away for FREE?? Whipping out this little box of wonders in Starbucks, furrowing my eyes into an intense concentration and getting work done over a cuppa?

I mean, I have nothing against DEEP RED netbooks (Palm owns that term now, fyi) mini-laptop. But I do seriously want this HP designer laptop because it would be a great addition for my work and leisure. It’s measly at less than three lbs, a well spaced keyboard for us touch typist, ample disk and RAM for that extensive number-crunching work, all in a package you could put in a purse (not that I carry one).

But for us guys, we probably need to do a wardrobe overhaul to match this juicy cherry from HP.

It’s Great to Be Able to Laugh at Myself!

Disclaimer: Before you read on, I just want to say I love DPL very much and he treats me very well! In case you think I am complaining, I am not. Really. :)

I think he’s the most humorous person I know (ok maybe love has blinded me but he’s really funny at times). When I think of those moments, I can’t help but laugh out loud and that’s why people give me weird stares on the train.

Can’t contain my laughter!

Scenario 1: Me and DPL standing at the bus stop, with him behind my huge body.

Me: I want to protect you so that when a vehicle skid, you will be alive! (yes, I was in a romantic mood)

DPL: No way! When the vehicle skids, it’s gonna knock into you and then you are going to crash into me and I will die first!

Me: Why? You have my body to cushion all the impact. See! (proceeds to squeeze my fats to prove he will be saved)

DPL: No way! That weight is going to crush me and I am going to die faster!

Me: !!!!#$@#@#@#$#$%$%$#

So much for trying to be self-sacrificing to protect him…. ;)

Scenario 2: I was admiring his slim, bony legs.

Me: Look at your legs. Oh dear I would kill to have that! I have always wanted to have slim, long, toned legs (minus the hair)!

DPL: Why? It’s so bony and this part (touches shinbone)…it’s so sharp, I think it can cut!

Me: Erm but still, it’s really nice. If it’s on me, I would be so sexy and irresistable. Look at mine! (proceeds to show him my legs).

DPL: What? That’s a tree stump!

Me: ………………………

Lol. Have a good day everyone! :)
