Back in Malaysia! Yet I can scarsly call it home...

Yup got back on Sunday evening. Dosen't really feel like home for some reason...Just feels like this place I visit every now and then. Maybe its the fact that i never really fit in in the first place, or it could be something else. At any rate, while its all familiar, it dosent feel like 'home'.

Im bored cause there dosent seem much to do (a perfect testimonial would be the fact that im even bothering to update this unread blog!), my face is swelling up since I had to get my wisdom teeth extracted, and I cant eat for the same reason. The ONLY plus side is my dog =)

IM OLD!!!!! - 20 years old to be exact :/

Im old.... my life is withering away.....ive passed teens into 20 so byebye life its now downhill all the way! :P

PS: what I did for my Birthday? - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. (Typically me eh?)
Ive been doing maths all day.

I flew my plane into a tree :(

Well like my title says...its been almost two weeks now, but I took my plane out a sunday afternoon and withing 30 seconds of it being in the air, a gust of wind caused me to lose control of the plane and sent it right in to a very evil tree, nice and high up.

The tree is evil because its almost as if its designed to capture anything that gets into it and never ever release it. The hold on my plane (and anything else i threw into it for that matter) s unbelievably strong. In a vain attempt to get my plane back i flung sticks at it while moving the flaps and knocking the engine around, but to no avail. All i suceeded in doing is lowering it slightly, and possibly breaking the tail boom.

Sigh...so thats the end of my plane i guess. 12 days on and its still there, exactly as I last left it....

Ive installed MacOS X on my notebook!

Im a very lazy person... I like to procrastinate...more like I like to do nothing, and then hate the fact that im doing nothing LOL. Blogging is just an example of this.

Anyway...I just want to say that ive successfully installed leopard (MacOSX 10.5.5 for those of you who dont know) on my notebook. In fact im writing this post fromOSX. I was lucky...it was a straightforward process, and someone had written up a tutorial for hardware not so different from mine.

So whats my take on the all famous macintosh? I dont think much of it to be honest. years of windows has made me comfortable with a particular way of using the computer. A way thats somewhat alian to mac.

I find it to be a very 'mousy' OS lacking even the simplest of keyboard conviniences such as home, end and DELETE!! Yes the snobs at apple pride themselves in not including a delete key for mac's...a fact which irks me as its a favorite key of mine (im thinking back to my early days of the 386 when my aunt used to scare me...NEVER TOUCH THE DELETE KEY!! she used to thunder lol...)

Anyway, it does have its perks...I quite like the convinience of spaces and of courset heres the clean and simple (un)installation of applications by simply dragging or removing the file (yes usualy one file! - or a contained folder to be more accurate) to the applications folder. Yup its really as simple that! Though the lack of customisability of application location installation (or perhaps my lack of knowhow) is something that concerns  me. I suppose most macs just have a single partition, so its not really an issue i guess...

Anyway, OSX is just my current 'experiment' or 'toy' and I still use windows for a lot of things. 6 months down the line when I get bored of mac, id probably remove it and install solaris or something... a statement that would absolutely mortify mac-heads and even linux fanatics. That I would choose to stick with windows, and simply play around with other operating systems as I fancy...
