Hello!

ka-poof

ladies and gentlemen.
14 days to my 1st paper.
boohoohoo

Pauline, you are totally not alone with Hell week!
back frm the same OCSP camp you are and will be goin for the same project you are.
i enjoyed myself at it apart frm the horrible sleep (i guess all of us included)!
it was the first camp i had in years.. and i almost feel old..
there were many times during which the Nokia 5800 came in handy!
taking photos and entertaining evryone with songs (though not everyone agreed with my song taste), entertainment i always better than none! :)
and when the other team was looking for the song chori chori, it was when Comes with music came in really handy!! :) awesome.
we will be helping out at the childcare centre at the slumss on monday..
will look forward to posting more abt tht when im back!! :)
meanwhile im almost gonnna conk out.
need to fill in on my lack of slp.
nitey.

Community service with my 5800

It has been hell week for me, explaining dwindling post counts from me. Well, I did try to circulate the blog address around using all my social media tools - Twitter, Delicious, Facebook, Wetpaint etc. If anyone actually popped by this site because of my active spamming on the social media-sphere, wave to me! 

Anyway, as the date draws closer to the actual community service I am planning to Batam, we are spotting more and more minute problems that we may face. For example, the child care centre that we will be helping out at has absolutely no electricity at all. Many of my team mates apparently do not understand what "NO ELECTRICITY" means, and suggested playing musical chairs and other games that require music players. After much debating, we decided to scrap the idea because there is no way we can amplify music without proper speakers. 

At that moment, my 5800 rang and it was then I realised we can use Serena's and My 5800 to play music for the activities! With its outstanding battery life, thunderously loud speakers and huge memory space, we are now able to use it at a place that has no electricity. 

We never really appreciate things until we lose it, and we never thought about how life can be like without the radio, speakers and music players. Now, I treasure my wonderful treasure even more and am going to give it a good clean before I head to Batam! 

Wish us Luck!!

Oldies.

Was sitting at Starbucks having coffee at Pacific Plaza outside That CD Shop where we could hear the music playing from inside, they were playing quite a few oldies that brought back such nostalgia. i immediately searched on the Nokia Music Store and to my amazement i can find them!! I downloaded them there and then onto my phone thru the Nokia Music Store! it was amazing! now i can listen to them anywhere i go! :) *in bliss*
~tas

GUESS WHAT?

Thanks Vincent!

Hey Vincent,

Thanks so much for sharing all the links for the various application... too bad i've yet to have time to download any of them... anyway... if i only have time for the download of a game... which will u recommend...?

Siew... remember the "cards" game on your previous device you let me try at wine bar the last time we met??? Did you manage to find an equivalent of the game for 5800... I sort of miss the game... heez...

Voice Recorder

Have been so busy with work that i don't even have the time to blog... heez... anyway... was out at the jurong point site office whole of this morning... jurong point extension has been completed... and we're now only waiting for the final touch up of the bus terminal and the jurong point condos... went over to take a look a the progress... most of the units have been done up... very nice units.. love the swimming pool... though there's no water at the moment... too bad i was so engrossed with the development that taking pictures never came across my mind... heez... anyway i was there for another reason... to conduct an exit interview with one of the site engineers... was so worried i could not understand his accent... but lucky for me i have my 5800 with me whereever i go... so i recorded the whole session with 5800's built-in voice recorder... was playing it for the past half hour to complete my report for his P-file... and realize that the recording was loud and clear even when i play it thru the speakers in the dining area when my dad is happily watching tv in the living room... thanks to my 5800... i'll nv miss any impt details in any interviews or meetings...

GGTTM + 5800 = GGTTM less.

Surrounded by the thick wads of articles, I frantically searched for my 5800. 

It's my sole purpose of existence; keeping me in touch with my friends (who don't really msg me) + providing me with hours of unrepeated songs. 

What a deprived life. 

Anyhow, as I was driving to a very far place last night, I realised that Comeswithmusic is going all out with its advertising! 987fm has programmes which create awareness of the 5800 and its access to the Nokia music store. Tune in and learn more about it! :D

For now, I'm going to bury myself under the readings, yet again. I'm sorry to the trees I've cut down, while printing out all these. ): BLAME IT ON THE EDUCATION SYSTEM!

So I've started my new job and sadly the comp is not up to handling my ability to use massive amounts of memory at a go, so I can't use the inbuilt music player.

But obviously I'm not daunted, lol, I've the awesome 5800 music player/phone with me! :D It has great battery life, able to last me all day entertaining me with my favourite tracks and games! :D Wheee! Not to mention msning on my way home!

Not to mention with my tremendous geeky love for Kimi, I have him as my phone's wallpaper and it helps keep me cheery through the day :D :D

My Weekend

Has been long since i last went KTV... and finally with this new job, i have a little more time for my friends (tt's probably the only good thing about my current job...) and so, we arranged for a KTV meet-up over the weekends...

Over the ktv session, i realized another useful feature of my 5800... being a music player which contains all my favorite playlists... i'm able to select the songs which i'm familiar with at ease... at least without having to crack my brain just to think of the song titles... with this in mind... besides that... with the freedom of downloading just any song without worrying about the cost incurred... i'm able to learn some new songs and some other which i've never thought of trying...

And now, i've even created a playlist called KTV to contain all the songs which i'm best at... i'm sure this will increase my song selection speed at my next ktv session... Maybe you guys would like to create this playlist to prepare for some KTV-ing...

Nana went henderson waves!

u know the Jewel Box place that we wanted to go to before? :D this is Henderson waves! its very near that! it was awesome scenery and almost doesnt feel like its in spore anymore! randomly decided to head up there and found this pretty place, lucky for my Nokia 5800 else i wouldnt have been able to capture the magnificent places in the photos! :)

Support Nongsa OCSP

I am really grateful to everyone who have offered their support and generosity for the community service project I organised. Our fund-raising went pretty well, the entire team garnered around $700 (SMU donation drive) + $1100 (team fund) + $1200 (pledge cards) = $3000. 

Alvin helped me raise $1800 from the people in his office, and I managed to collect another $4500 from our generous friends and family. The very kind Chrys have volunteered to help us out with the fundraising and collected $200. We have also collected a bunch of toys, clothes and stationery for the children! Yipee!

Well, without my 5800, I wouldn't have been able to keep track of the amount of donation collected so precisely. And the ambitious me intend to use the phone to email a "Thank You" note everyone who have been so magnanimous and supportive towards this project next week when the consolidation is completed!! 

-Coolness-

Rainy day photos

the photos i mentioned i will put up.
photos of when i was playing in the rain :)
and the last photo was the photo just before the rain! :)
took them with my 5800 tht came to good use!

Comes With Music

I installed the Comes With Music service today finally after being busy with my school work. It's a little late i know and i admit. Although the installation had an error during the first time, the reinstall worked after and i must say i was quite impressed with the speed of downloading a song. It takes less than a minute to download a track! Plus, there are song previews and Top 40s for songs, albums, etc.

Destiny is calling me...

7 weeks ago. 

I had 13500words to complete. 

1 week ago.

I had 13500 words to complete.

Now.

I still have 13500 words to complete, due this week. 

HELP!

It's time to load up the songs and disappear. 5800 Comes with Music, let's go! I'll try to download 5800 songs, can anyone tell me where do I get extra memory for the phone? 

Till then, don't miss me too much. 

Rain Rain come again! :)

*Hi five* to the weather report application on 5800!!
i managed to play in the rain all afternoon yesterday!! :)
its been a long time since i last did that !
and i finally did! :) so shiokkkkkk!
i know it sounds really silly but yeah i had sooo much fun a whole afternoon in the rain!
i even took fotos of me drenched with my 5800! :)
will post it up in abit! :)

A good place to find even more applications!

Wonder Speakers

I've been using the phone's Sound Recorder to record the singing for my Choir elective due to my incompetence in sight-reading notes and making out the sound.

I've been singing along to the recorded music while playing it through the speakers.

It's really a powerful set of speakers there. Haha.

gray and rainy

It has been a gray rainy Saturday, just the way I love weekends to be. I hate the Sun, hate the heat and hate the humidity. I love it when dark clouds hang low and I love the rain! It makes perfect excuse to stay curled up in bed, reading about Niccolo Machiavelli.

When I saw the weather report of my 5800 in bed, it made me happy!

And it is another happy day because I have downloaded 5000 tracks to my PC and it is still counting! I still can't believe that all these great music came along with the 5800 and it makes me smile when thinking about it!

=come chill with me=

life hard, siew whiny.

So my life is practically over. I'm starting work on Monday. Not psyched about it, everything doesn't seem positive about it at the moment, but my mom's paying me some dough to work (haha) so it probably works out to nothing too bad. The place is really casual so I can totally dress down, the commute would probably suck, thankfully I've my awesome comes with music phone to keep me entertained.

And not just because of the playlists, I love the racing game that comes with the phone, I can hold it like a steering wheel and driiiiive my invisible car. Of course I'm gonna look dumb in public, but at least it's gonna be fun! :D

2 days worth of songs

If you dedicate your 5800 primarily to storing songs, you can disappear for two days with just your phone (in offline mode, that's what disappearing is for, ESCAPISM), a few bottles (maybe cans, bottles will probably make you ohdee on adrenaline?) of red bull, your 2436322 pages of readings, a charger, to someplace with a powerpoint. And you won't have to repeat songs. Sure, you'll stink and reek of sugar from red bull, but what the heck, you get to finish listening to your entire playlist and possibly the readings. Who knows, maybe you may even save the world in the process? I'll keep you posted with my attempt. :D 

That's my 8 gigs worth trivia to you today. 

Happy Good Friday folks. 

5800 Confusion

Hey people, I seriously need help here... How do you people differentiate ur 5800 from your peers besides those charms which you can hang...?

Both my mum's and younger brother's operator contract were due for upgrading and they've just gotten their own 5800... And for the past 2 mornings we have difficulty differentiating the phones since none of us is keen on having things hanging from our phones... please gimme some suggestions man... i've already changed my wallpaper so that i dun bring the wrong phone to work in the midst of hurry...

Save me because I'm drunk

Of all the good things I can possibly say about the 5800, I think this is one of those that rank really low. 

But I think I am prone to less than prime behaviour when I am drunk, as I am sure how people will attest to that. Hurhur. *GIGGLES*

But because the 5800 is pretty damn hard to msg when you're prancing around to awesome music, I think it just might save me from moments I need to be saved from. God bless 5800. 

xx

LOVES

hooked up

Now that I've got my 5800 loaded with grooves and rhythms, it's ready to be hooked up to my room's DIY sound crappy sh*t system (which I am still proud of because I DIY-ed it!). 

Because of Nokia's and (ahem) my ingenuity, my lucky neighbours in Jurong can now dance to the great music blasting from my 5800! 

My next ambitious step is to create my own podcast and upload it direct from 5800! woohoo! I hope it works and please feel free to suggest what I should be talking about in the podcast. 

-till then-

Ending my 3rd day of work

Yeah... done with the jobs i have on-hand and i'm all ready to present my work to the team tomorrow morning...
Have been staring at all the weirdest names on Earth for the past 3 days to compile all the trainings each and every employee has went through for the last three months. It's NO JOKE! I really do mean the weirdest names on Earth! Just imagine staring at the names of Indians, Bangladeshi, Burmese, Thai, PRC from 8.30am to 6pm everyday for 3 days...
The worst has yet to come... The desktop does not come with a sound card + no more privacy filter... and that equates to == no more Nokia Music and Facebook in the office! OMG! Haha... but good thing for me, I've got my 5800 Comes With Music loaded with more than enough songs to last me a week without ever having to repeat any single track... and the best part being, I'll be able to facebook (without needing to alt+tab when any of my colleagues walk by). This is especially important when i need to take my eyes off those irritating names...

Comes with Music!

COMES with Music media launch event photos as some of u requested :)

More Sepang F1 fail.

During the qualifying races, we realised we had to buy ear plugs for the race. See I only ever went for the qualifying one in Singapore and we got free ear plugs there cause of the posh seats Paupau scored so I didn't know we needed the ear plugs. And since we got regular seats this time, we were even closer to the cars... In other words, I almost went deaf.... Thankfully, I brought my earbud earphones along the trip with my phone/newmp3player! :D It blocked the sound out temporarily and let me enjoy some Rufus Wainwright, who is pretty awesome. Check him out on MySpace, or even better yet, check him out in the Comes With Music store!


It rained so much before the race we all got totally soaked through walking to the track. It was clearly the best time to wear a white tee. We went back to change into dry/clean clothes and sadly all I was left with was a clubbing dress? Bah. And when the race began, it poured insanely not even halfway through and the race was stopped. So we went left... in the rain again.

Lastly, one more from Sepang... The pre-race parade thing.


It's too hard to squint at them to tell who's exactly who, but I know the one in red on the right corner is Kimi Raikkonen (in true iceman style, he's not even looking up lol) & Heikki Kovalainen's next to him. :D The other all red one's obviously Massa. :D

FRING

I just downloaded Fring btw! :) its awesome power! :)
you guys whld go try it too! :)

Explosions in the sky, my sky, your sky, our sky, their sky...

"The Only Moment We were Alone"

This post rock band is so awespiring = awesome + inspiring. Blast it with your 5800. You'll be hopping to it like there's no tomorrow. 

FYI: They have really brilliant album/song titles. They're so apt; for any occasion you can possibly imagine. It's an acquired taste, trust me. Play it a few more times. I was exposed to them last year, and since then, have been plunged into a continuing journey for postrock songs. And, no, there are no lyrics; perfect for studying! 

Afterwhich, check out Mogwai and the selection of songs 'Comes with Music' has of them. 

I'm jumping around my house to this song, 5800 in my right hand, left hand left empty to wave about. And when I close my eyes, I can't help but imagine explosions in my sky. 

**LOVEEEEE

 IN 

THE 

FIRST 

DEGREE!**

PS Siew: Read from the papers it was a washout at F1 Sepang. Lol. I like Button and his new squeeze. She's a hot Jap/Argentinian. Time to move over, Hamilton? 

cant get enough.

i love downloading songs. when will i get enuff? Lol.

but i do request some help... does anyone know where i can download applications for my phone? skype and msn etc? im such a newbie at such things, kenneth used to do it for me.... tell me where and how plsss. :) i wanna do it soon. :D plssss. thank you.

been listening to my fav song at the moment "what hurts the most" its by rascal flatts, but as i was searching for it i found 3 other versions of which the same song is sang by different artiste!! :) Even Cascada sang one of the versions. awesome boogieee!! every different singer has his or her own flavour! and all downloadable at a click of a button! im soooooooooooo thrilled! :)

P.S. i got my phone mirrored screen protector already! woooohooo!
~tas

help! not enough disk space!

does anyone know where to get one of those uber large storage devices? need to clear up my disk space for my songs! haha.. can't get enough of the comes with music service.

anyway, if you're stumped by the number of choices available on the nokia music store, you can always start with the top 40 downloads list that looks something like this

so yup, go ahead and download away!

Malaysiaaa :D

^ so it's pretty obvious which team I support eh? :P

Anyway, those stuff aside, Malaysia's F1 isn't fantastic. Aside from the crappy weather & crappy parking spaces, it would've all been fine if Ferrari had just gotten at least 8 points. But nooooo, they're the only team other than FORCE INDIA with no points. FORCE INDIA. *HEADDESKS*

Plus Kimi was doing so well up until he went in for his pit stop, hello bad planning!

The 5800 was a good thing to have around though, the car ride was still insanely long despite Jason driving at breakneck speeds and it was a relief to have some music of my own to enjoy rather than the typical R&B and then sappy emo Chinese songs going on and on... I adore female singers much more :D Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, Britney etc and the 5800 brings them closer to me, into my little mobile phone which is incidentally smaller than my iPhone and fits into my hands much better!

More pictures later!

Power of Information at your Fingertips

My poor little brother was diagnosed with Bell's Facial Palsy last night, and it was traumatizing. It is a condition where one experiences paralysis in one or both sides of their faces. It is caused by the same virus (Herpes Zoster) as Shingles, which apparently lays dormant after contraction of Chicken Pox. Well, this virus affects the nervous system and can result in permanent damage if not treated promptly. 

How did I know all these? 

The 5800 served as my one-stop information centre as I surfed for details of the condition while my brother was consulting the doctor. Surfing speed was incredibly fast, so fast such that the doctor could not answer the questions I have for him quick enough. Well, it is a huge benefit to have information at your fingertips anytime you need it. 

Pau is lovin' the power of knowledge! 

Delete All.

While people are prepping for Easter, reminiscencing about Starry Nite and recovering from Oasis, this pathetic girl/woman has decided to take refuge from her stress by adopting a EAT EVERYTHING campaign. 

So while she was eating ALONE in school (yes, sounds terribly bad), but she was desperate, she decided to play it cool by playing with her phone. And hey, she found out that Nokia phones had this "Delete All" function. Woots. 

FOREVER LOVES.

TOO early for Easter..

Easter is comingggg.. see the Easter eggs from the pics above u can tell! :)
Maybe its just cuz they're chocolatesss, all the more excuses to get them!
I'm a particularly lazy person the random photos are taken by the Nokia 5800! Thank goodness for my phone else i wldnt be able to capture these to share my Joy of Easter with u guys~!
Btw, there is a play called Blood Brothers that on Good Friday held at my church! if anyone is interested pls let me know alright, Im definitely sure its good! :)

Anyways, my Nokia 5800 Comes with Music phone has been my best companion this past week! I found a very old song that i used to like in the oldies genre section, the title is Almost Over You. i never thought that i could find it since the last time i heard it. it is playing on repeat mode on my phone for the longest time! and even when i wanted to catch a movie i was able to check the timings on my phone, saved me the trouble to go all the way to the theatre! (as aforementioned i am lazy! lol.)

Its a short week this week! :) YAY!!!! ENjoy!!! :)

~serena

*starry nite*

It has long been an SMU tradition to hold a rock event called Starry Nite on the final day of every semester. Since its inception in the early days of SMU, when it was still located in the Bukit Timah campus, it has been carried out religiously semester after semester. Student bands of all genres would play at this three hour long concert under the stars and stressed-out students will emerge from their cocoons in the library, let their hair down and party like a college student should. 

Having organised it thrice and performed once, no event is as close to my heart as Starry Nite. Last Friday, it marks my final official day in SMU as an undergrad and the event filled me with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. 

At that moment, this crazy thought crossed my random mind - perhaps we can all hold an event with our 5800 and create a mobile Starry Nite. Blasting our loud and solid phone speakers with a hundred hands waving in the sky! How wonderful. 

Picture: From Feb's FB

OASIS

I just came back from OASIS and i wanna show u guys vids.

woots x 10000

forgive my bad excited shaking hand.

Butter me up!

Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away! But now that I've come back to earth, I shall tell you how my troubles went away yesterday.

Haha. 

5800 Comes With Music rocks my socks and trust me, it'll rock yours too. Since I'm lovin' Butter soooo much, I shall put in a word for them in the meantime. The music was absofuckinglutely orgasmic, the crowd a pulsating lively delight, the company excellent x 54360854 = one mega gigantic helluva time, better than sex, baby, better than sex.  

Now, to get to my point, I repeat, the music was terrific, and guess what I could do with my phone! I could immediately download the songs I wanted, upon hearing the songs! Ahhhh, that instant gratification is what this generation is all about, everything at your fingertips! 

Woots. Eternal loving! :D 

UNLIMITED DOWNLOADS

Stereophonics rock like hard candy man.
I downloaded like everything they had IN class AT ZERO COST!
As good as it gets.

Check out their album.

Decade In The Sun (Best Of Stereophonics)

Getting psyched pre-trip!

No pictures from me this time cause I'm busy packing! :D Thaaaat's right. :D I'm going to Malaysia for the weekend for the F1 race! Go Ferrari! Noooo McLaren! Nooooo Brawn!!

I'm packing lots on this trip with me, aka my sleep needs - a big stuffy dog named Stinky, i'll need to maximise all the possible space. :D Aaaand lucky me, with the new 5800 I can not pack my outdated, heavy, heavy iPod, which is tres good times for me scause I can save some extra energy... Seeing as how I'm insanely lazy. ;)

I was procrastinating downloading songs earlier, but necessity dictated that I should today, so I did. And the download speed is amazing, I love it! I've packed up a lovely trip playlist filled with fun girly songs from Katy Perry, Lady Gaga & Taylor Swift (okay, the last seems kinda balladish but hey. me likee!)

Will share pictures from my trip when I get back along with how the 5800 works out! See you guys soon! :D

My Little Ditty

Have I told you my latest morning sunlight,

the one and only afternoon delight 

and mesmerizing lovely evening sight?

YES, mushy as it sounds, I'm actually rapidly falling in love with my 5800! 

It's got so many new facets to it that I'm finding it hard to keep up. Anyhow, as everyone is aware by now, I've got limitless free smses. 

With the full screen QWERTY keyboard that 5800 gives me, I realise it's time to bombard my friends with my endless ditty trivia smses again! Instead of the crazy endless numbing finger motions I have to go through last time to compose a 10 paged sms, with the 5800, I get things done pronto!

AHHHH, what a joy to the world it is. And like Pau, I think me and my phone, we've got a great big future out there. :D

More than coming with music

Its officially my final day in school, and I am now contributing to the unemployment rate in Singapore. Well, there was a really important presentation for my PR Strategy class on Wed, and I decided that instead of scribbling the notes on cards, I transferred the file into my new phone - the 5800. 

The screen is huge, clarity superb and scrolling down my speech was easy! Well, it honestly looked a lot better to present with a gadget than with cards and pieces of paper all over the place. Most importantly, the screen of the phone is big enough for me to view it without having to hold the phone really close to my face. In fact, I left it on next to my laptop, with the mini-stand that was provided. 

I have huge plans for the phone, perhaps  try to conduct an entire video presentation just with my phone the next time... well, I guess the limitations of this phone lies only in your imagination of what you can do with it!

-till then-

ITS HERE FINALLY.

COOL HUH MY REFLECTIVE PROTECTOOOOOORRRRRRRR!

SWEEEEEEET.

Tips & Tricks on 5800

"My Nokia" 5800 Comes With Music

I finally got my hands on the Nokia 5800 Comes With Music after admiring it for the past month. During the initial start-up, I subscribed to “My Nokia” service which I subsequently find very useful in the course of getting use to my new phone. My Nokia is a free service which sends phone-specific tips, tricks and support via SMS. Up to date, I’ve already received 3 tips on the various features of my Nokia 5800 Comes With Music. If anyone has missed the registration during the initial set-up, you can also subscribe or unsubscribe to this service via

A day after April Fool's 2009

Hey there!

This is officially my first blog post after years of not blogging! Haha, feel kinda connected yet detached in a way, if you get what i mean.

Well, a few days ago also marked a significant milestone in my life.

I got my first touchscreen phone!

I'm sure you guys feel so happy for me. Hiaks. Being unable to contain my excitement, i went online to search for applications for the phone and downloaded a handful of them, such as Skype, Fring, Twitter, Notes.... Now, who says there aren't applications for Nokia phones!

This phone has been serving me very well so far. Loving it.

Stay tuned for more as i tell you more about what applications i've downloaded and my experiences with Comes With Music!

HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S!

Its April Fool's Day!

i wanted so much as to play a prank on some of my friends today knowing very well ppl will be pulling stunts on me as well, but as April 1st is coming towards an end.. i hadnt the mind to try any of it, the silly things i used to do back then, just not too long ago.

Instead, i spent a lot of time meddling around with my phone, not sending lame April fool's joke smses of cuz, though i received some pretty silly ones, but yeah i was downloading songs and listening to some of the songs i havnt heard in a long time. went out to sea today, wake boarding cum boat ride, and there i was realizing that it was really nice to have the speakers so loud as the sea waves made it almost impossible to hear anything if not for the pretty powerful speakers on the Nokia 5800 Comes with Music.

The 5800 also kept me occupied the whole day today when i was out waiting for dinner time while on the way to meet Chrys, i could log on msn mobile to kill the time in between. My mind is constantly also building a playlist of the other new songs i want to download, so much for having it buffet style, the number of songs i have are already more than anything i can finish listening to. if this keeps up, i might need even more memory space.

Im beginning to really like this Nokia 5800 Comes With Music phone, out of the many many Nokia phones i have used. Awesome!

Yes, it's April Fool's Day...

BLISS!

It may be April Fools' Day, but I kid you not when I say the Nokia 5800 surprised me in the simplest ways I had not expected. 

As my close friends should be aware by now, my life has been converted to a staid, simple existence comprising of mundaneness to an extreme. 

So, off I was to carry out my banal task of completing 21546408 pages of my designated research readings yesterday, armed with nothing much besides my stationery and yes, my brand spankin' new 5800, and thank god for technology, Wireless@Sg! 

While the hot humid day constantly pressured me into dozing off, I resisted that awful temptation (couldn't forget about the 12500 words that needed to be completed in less than 2 weeks), I decided to play with my new phone to get me awake! 

And 'lo and behold, I've found my new boyfriend. The phone, with its access to unlimited song downloads via Comes with Music, instantly grasped my attention for the next hour, and I believe, may even hold my attention 24/7 for longer than any boyfriend I've had. Within minutes, I was downlooading ALL my favourite songs at tip top speed, even when I had to share bandwidth with all the West Coast Macs users. 

Anyhow, the feeling of euphoria of such endless downloading without having to worry about being sued for copyright (what an unfortunate coincidence, one of my research papers is on Copyright: Fair Use doctrine), is too new for me to ignore. And off I went and true enough, with my impressive speed at using phones, by the end of the day, my phone boasted of a most delightful composition of my favourite songs! 

And I lived happily ever after with my new boyfriend...well, at least for the rest of the day. I actually managed to complete 2 of my readings, whilst listening to songs that never had to repeat themselves! 

Disclaimer: Some people may find that 2 readings may not be achievable, even with the help of Comes with Music. 

Till then, Happy April Fools' Day! 

*dangles*

I'm probably a big kid at heart, but one of the things i love most about the 5800 is the adorable phone dangley thing (aside from the obviously awesome music selection) Seriously, check it out. *loves it*

And it's not just something cutesy to have on your phone, there's supposed to be continued special promotions for this little guitar. Right now if you have this on your phone, you get free entry to Zouk on friday nights. Score. Obviously it's essential to all our lives. :D



... and it's not an April fool's joke!
