Guess what??? I have bought a brand new iPad!
There was no any plan for me to buy it beforehand.
It was that Friday night (6/5/2011) when I was beavering away studying Numerical Methods for my final examination, then suddenly Kyle messaged me in msn messenger asking me if i could accompany him to buy iPad in the morning. I had rejected him at once as I knew that we had to queue for several hours before we could get the device he wanted. It never crossed in my mind that I would get myself an iPad eventually. Then later he showed me a link to the
Ipad and I got all excited! I was deeply attracted by the iPad in the webpage. It just looks so cool to have one. Then, I texted Kyle a reply that I might want to buy too. Both of us were on the cloud nine when discussing about the iPad we were about to get on the next morning and I could not focus on my revision anymore. So, instead of continuing my revision, I lingered in the Apple webpage to compare prices of different iPad model. Since, I am not ready to pay more for every month 3g usage, I made up my mind to buy the one with only wifi and get the maximum memory capacity available. Then we went to sleep, waiting for the break of dawn to come and we would rush to Mid Valley Machine store to get our iPad.
When we arrived there at 7.30am, there was already long queue of people whom were all crazily (enthusiastically) waiting for the store to open. I brought my notes together with me so that I won't waste all the waiting hours doing nothing. After 2 and a half hour, the store finally opened. The staff gave each of us a card that indicated the model we wished to purchase. Before the staff reached to us, we were quite jumpy that the stock might run out before us and we would go back with empty hand. Fortunately, the staff did not disappoint us and both of us got the cards (iPad) we wanted. After the store opened, we still had to wait for another 1 hour before we were let into the shop. The customers were divided into group of 4 or 5 people and the staff would only serve one group at a time. And that's the reason why we had to wait for so long! Around 12pm, Kyle and me walked proudly out of the store, clinging to our shopping bags and catching glimpse of envy glares from other shoppers and those who were still lining up. We patiently drove back to our hostel before opening the box like kids do when they receive presents for their Christmas. Then, we started to set up the iPad together......(this is what happened that day la. no more story to tell)....
Ok, after exploring my iPad for several days, I have installed a new free game - Falling Fred. The game is damn bloody that I cannot resist but keep naming it as Bloody Fred instead. It is a game where Fred is falling down a tunnel with no end and all you have to do is to avoid him to crash into any obstacles (pipes, turbine, walls..)by tilting your device. The game gets all bloody when you crash Fred into the wall or any other obstacles. The turbine might cut Fred's head off if you fail to dodge it and you can see red blood sputtering out of the beheaded body! I wonder why the game is available for free. Don't you think it is too bloody and violent for kids to play huh?

Black Friday - Friday (13th May)..
Who cares about whether it is a black friday or not? Who cares how the presentation went suckly in the morning ? ( I do care, please. Let's just hope the lecturer won't fail me for that subject...*pray hard*)...Life must still go on!
We had a plan to go clubbing after examination, and all of us managed to stick to our plan, except Miss June! She remembered wrongly the date we would want to go clubbing and had preoccupied herself that night with her meeting with our hostel management group, discussing about the things they would do for the new comer after the new semester starts in September. Though, we all think it would be less interesting without her, but we had a GREAT night out!
What amazed me so much was how I managed to wake up after 2 hours of sleep that night and still had the energy to go Pudu bus station to take bus coming back home.
haha...about the clothes I wore that night, there were stinky like hell. My shirts and pants were engulfed with thick smell of cigarette and alcohol that I had to hide them beneath the all other unwashed clothes so that my mum would not realize them when she helped me to wash the clothes. So far, she did not mention anything or suspicious about me hanging out in those places yet la.
The boys had a great night out!

I went to update my IC yesterday for I am going to use it to get a passport. I am going to have vacation in Hatyai in early June. Hopefully the picture will turn out OK!
