What's That? What's App. What's That Again?

The times and trends, changes so fast, that I can barely keep up with.

Trend #1 Smartphones
I do not have a smart phone. I only have a less smart phone la. I'm sorry. I am totally clueless when it comes certain to technologies and to think of the days, when I used to teach my PARENTS how to use their big dinosaur mobile phones. Today, I am being taught by my younger sister on how to play with her smart phone.

The day of judgment came when my 8 year old cousin brother (he's so adorable) joined me on the bed carrying his own smart phone.
"Jie jie, you know how to play Angry Birds?"
I answered him accompanied with a pitiful expression. "I don't know wor."
He went, "Ha? You don't know ah?!" He was in a shock. Lol.
But he was so cute, he said, "Oh, I show you how to play."
Then I finally knew what Angry Bird was... Some birds bombarding evil pigs...
(I used to think why bird, why not angry dog or cat... *shy*)

Another thing about smart phones is, they are making me feel less smart. Ok? I am outdated! My phone screen does not respond to my touch. It only responds when I push its buttons. (Hahaha. Caught the puns?) Urgh! What's App... this what thing is gonna get me in trouble some day.

I am the rare and disappearing clan of Y Gens (or is it X) who still SMSes people. Almost everyone I know are what's App-ing. "Concerned" friends have been trying to get me to buy a new phone that supports this App thingie. They've been saying, "You won't regret one...!" Hahaha. Like some marketing gimmick. I think it's cool. This App thingie. I have a rough idea of what it does... hahaha. Games are cool but honestly, I don't think I need it just yet. Yet. I will only consider getting one if friends start threatening to not reply to my SMSes anymore... :( This, is pure peer pressure. Hmph.


Trend #2 LongChamp
Know what that is? No? My my. You must either be a guy or a girl, who like me, doesn't really give a hoot about buying brands. Educate yourself here, people. If you do notice, you will notice this bag in town. A lot of girls are carrying this bag. My colleague does, my close friends do, even my cousin sister.

The tote bags are popular. It's easy to identify the bags. Nice, simple design with a circled shape zipper. I was in KL the other day and two girls sitting at tables on my left AND right, were carrying this bag. Wow... Now it will be LongChamp bags and not Coach bags. Hahaha. Honestly, just pay slight attention to the bags girls are carrying now. You will observe a certain trend for this bag. It's from the UK, Paris. Interesting huh?

Am I going to jump on the bandwagon for this? Well, nope. Not at the moment. Hahaha. I have other bandwagons to catch and jump on.


Sigh... I have to go to bed now. Having a bad stomachache... :'(

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ

My Future???

After thinking for a while, (ok, not a while but many whiles) I have finally decided what to do after I graduate (hopefully) in May this year. I have narrowed it down to two options. Sigh. Either I continue my studies and proceed wtih Masters (God, help me..) or I apply for this work and travel thing to US for six months. Will see how it goes... see which comes first. If it's the latter, I'd most probably miss my Convocation. If the former is first, the latter will no longer be on my list. We'll see we'll see. :) P/S: Applying for masters has nothing to do with what the government has allocated to help the economy.
