GFan and iFan

Like it or not, we are surrounded by a myriad of brands. Everyday we are constantly bombarded by ads everywhere we go. Could be a person carrying a shopping bags with labels or the mere sight of an iPod earphone will remind you of Apple. Virtually everything that we use today will remind us of a certain brand and iPod made sure that happens with the colour white (and moving onto funky and eye catching colours) on their products.

Then few days back, GMail did something that I've been wanting, a facelift for GMail interface! Sure they're known for their simplicity and cleancut interface but a little colour here and there won't hurt. And they proved it with the new themes for GMail interface. I absolutely love my GMail now with the Graffiti theme.

Take a look.

GMail personalised!

Personally, I'm a simple and cleancut sort of person but the themes that GMail has introduced just blew my mind away. From the classic GMail themes with different colours to vibrant colours of Graffiti theme to even the classic computer neon green and black background interface theme. So I'm really liking my Graffiti theme. I'm just waiting for Google to do something awesome with their GTalk. Something like this perhaps and more functions of course. Webcam ability dem it!

Officially, now I'm a GFan and an iFan. I hearts Google and Apple.

You know you love me.

OCD

I have an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder when it comes to gadgets. It's nothing major or annoying, just that it had to be perfect. Meticulous. You can say I'm the Bree Van De Kamp of Gadgetry Lane. My gadgets are all in almost perfect condition, inside and out.

Just today while attending a course my friend made a remark, "Gosh you're such an anal. Just look at your iPod's playlist, all well sorted with album covers." It's true. I don't download a single MP3, I need the whole album, organised and complete with album cover. I would take time to tag each song in iTunes and rank them too.


This also applies to the series that I download. All properly named and sorted. Except for my porn for some reason. I couldn't care less what they are named as long as I can find which that I want to watch.

How odd...

Curious Fact

You know the saying, "when it rains it pours"? I wonder if the same applies to men. How many of you have experienced this phenomenon?

I'm curious to know.

Lesson Learned

Coulda woulda and shoulda. Three words that have been ringing in my head for the whole day now. Carpe diem part of me seemed to slip and that one encounter gone wasted. I hate the feeling of kicking myself in the arse for not doing anything about it.

It was after clubbing in Market Place. It was a fantastic night with DJ Shigeki spinning. The music was sensational and I could hardly stopped myself from dancing. The DJ ended his session with club remix of Viva La Vida. We went wild with that. Perfect and best remix since Haji Seamus Touch My Body.

So back to the coulda woulda shoulda bit. We all went to mamak to sober up. Some of us were just wasted. There I spotted a guy I saw in Frangi's Friday night. It was a brief encounter in Frangi's but last night in mamak, he called me over. We introduced each other and he asked me to join them but I didn't since I was with the gang and I was a little intimidated with sitting in a table and everyone was literally staring at me.

When mamak session was over he and I chatted as we walked out of the mamak. Just general stuff about the night and the DJ. I could have asked for his contacts there and then but I didn't. Don't know why but urgh... Annoyance. It was obvious that both of us are interested with each other but nothing happened.

Bah...

Perhaps Facebook can be the silver lining to this dilemma?

Coulda woulda shoulda.

Series of Unfortunate Events

I'm sure most of you guys are familiar with Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Well I've not watched it myself but an unfortunate event did occur last night. A head on collision with another car.

I was sitting at the back of the car when the accident happened. Not sure what happened really but our Kelisa hit a Wira head on. It wasn't a high speed head on collision but enough to wreck the engine for both cars.


I'm not sure who's at fault, the Kelisa or the Wira. It happened at an intersection with traffic light. No one was badly injured in the accident so that's good. Though my sides and ribs are kinda sore. Silly me for not putting on my safety belt that night (I always do put them on though). I kinda landed at my sides on the back side of the front passenger seat.

So wear your safety belts people!

You know you love me.
