Back but still Busy

It's been a long time since I last posted. Nearly 2 months. Haha. Been really busy and at times lazy. When I felt like posting, I just didn't have the time, and when I had the time, I just felt too lazy to post. Haha. I guess its human nature (or maybe its just me...)

Anyway my exams officially ended on the 25th of November, but my full-time FYP officially started on the 28th of November. So basically I've been going to school from Mondays to Fridays, 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, rain or shine to do my FYP. Almost like work, with meetings and discussions dragging to lunch hour and past "knock-off" time, stress of trying to get things to work, but somehow they just refuse to and such. But strangely I quite enjoy it. Partly cos most of the time there's this lame cat beside me that I can disturb, partly cos this is much much better compared to when I was having exams.

I good thing about my project is that I am currently investigating the extraction data from blogs, which basically means I get to visit blogs the whole day officially! Haha. Ain't that great? The bad part? Well, I was tasked to investigate Chinese blogs, so I'm getting a big headache just trying to read the contents with my almost-5-years-never-use-super-rusty mandarin standard. But the most interesting development that came from this is that I now have 8 new blogs! Haha. Why? Cos I had to investigate how far users of the blogs can customise their blogs, and the best way was to become a user of course. So here are the links to the 8 new blogs named...drum roll please...AppleMangoes!

1) MSN Spaces
2) BlogBus
3) blogcn
4) YourBlog
5) donews
6) Moblog
7) TianyaBlog
8) yculBlog

Yup, each one of them has the same title. I was kinda lazy to think of so many user names so I chose the easiest and most-unlikely-to-have-duplicate name - applemangoes. And thus, as part of my FYP, I have expanded the influence of applemangoes to the Mainland. Muahahahaha! Unfortunately that was only the begining of my "new" FYP and so I'm still quite busy now, which means that proper posting on those blogs will have to wait for a long long while.

On a lighter note, I am searching for a new handphone and I have come down to 2 candidates the Nokia 3230 and the Nokia 6230i. Both cost about the same and both have nearly the same features except that the 3230 is a Symbian phone (read as unstable but more functional), while the 6230i is your standard Nokia OS (read as stable but boring and OLD). Any suggestions anyone??

hmm, i'm not sure bout handphones... but if it were me, i'd prefer a stable hp, unless i've the cash with me to replace the unstable hp if ever it's spoilt, then i'd choose the unstable one yet more functionality... :)

hee, i *think* can buy either of them coz both are roughly the same...and since we can probably change a new hp again after 1 or 2 years time...

btw... erm, does ur future workplace matters whether or not u use camera fone, coz the last time in my attachment coy, they are rather strict in the choice of hp we carry...

and lastly anyways, u've alot of hairs on ur head, so no worries.

just kidding :b

SE seems to have bad hardware... My buttons are failing as well!

As for the best hand phone, is no handphone. Since that way least hair loss! Plus you can take the money and invest in something else e.g. magic cards :P

Yup! I agree with that. Also SE products tend to be more expensive. Actually if u notice SE follows Sony's marketing strategy - produce costly, but cool products that don't last very long. Haha.
