my days on paper

Change of season

Just a couple of weeks ago, its all exam and stress. Then a couple of days ago..

Well, how does one changes his environment without geographically moving?

By having his mom coming (or going). Suddenly I'm in this very livable space, with the rooms seemingly to have magically expanded overnight. Then I'm eating without having to worry what to eat, when to eat, and how much it costs. More than that, suddenly the sofa is my bed, the laptop is my desktop, and the dvd player is my entertainment.

That's right, my laptop. I just got a Compaq Presario X1316AP, and I LOVE it! Apart from its inferior soundcard and speakers, this thing is way better than my desktop. Since it came I've been spending a lot of time setting it up. Now, it has a functional basic dualboot Windows XP Home and Gentoo Linux with Gnome.

Unfortunately, just as I was about to go on setting up the essential softwares (like Itunes and Adobe Photoshop and Unreal Tournament etc), I found out that I overshot my download limit by 400mb, with 15cents per mb. Now its a test of patience - I'm not gonna download anything until next month. Well, I know its only 2 more days.. but still...

Not only that, with my mum here it means I can only spend minimal time with everyone else, and I can't even go to LDP and the stuff I usually go to. But then again, Isaac and Aaron are already gone, Winnie's mum's coming soon, Dave has always been 'exclusive', and Esther can take care of herself. Looks like this actually is the best time for my mum to come. The LDP and stuff, well, I guess I can't always hope I always have time for everything.

Oh well, I'm in a different 'home' now I guess. A different season too, because of that. And I miss you guys!
