pituitary on strike


2006
10.10

i think my pituitary is currently on strike (thanks to Min for establishing this body part which is responsible in producing endorphins and SY for establishing the substance itself)
wikipedia suggested a couple of things which can alleviate my mood:

The good feeling one gets from eating chocolate, smiling, laughing, sunbathing, being massaged, meditating, singing, listening to one’s favorite music, or having an orgasm is partially attributed to the release of endorphins

i have tried most of them and none have worked for the past couple of days or so (ed: let’s not speculate which ones of those i have attempted)
my last resort is badmintoning tomm nite. the so-called ‘runner’s high’ is what i need right now.

i’m stuck in a 100-word phase with my cursor continuously blinking.. waiting… this assignment is not hard at all. it’s just that i have no motivation in anything related to uni at this point of time. maybe 8 years has taken its toll… i need to get out of this cycle before someone gets hurt!

X’mas Wish – Blackberry 8800


2006
10.07

Adrian knew my recent saga in wanting to have a gadget that combines all functions from Palm, Phone and Blackberry. The only problem with current models, they all have trade-off between design, function and fashion! On the techie front, they either have bluetooth or wifi..but not both…
My must-have device should have the following:

  • Color: BLACK
  • Design: Slim, not too bulky like dopod or iMate – with QWERTY
  • Techie: Quad-band, Wifi, Bluetooth 2.0, GSM/GPRS, EDGE
  • Speakerphone
  • if possible a Blackberry

I have been dissapointed with the range of Blackberry devices recently… until Adrian emailed me the link to a forum speculating a Blackberry 8800, with these specs:

Quad-Band: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS, EDGE + Wi-Fi

Possible on some versions of the 8800 (Camera – 1.3 mp, 5x digital zoom, flash and maybe even video recording)
Media Player – audio and video playback (Built-in streaming*)
