let the music playy

ahh. finally owning my own mp3 player is such an amazing feeling. long train journey? no problem, just plug in earphones and close my eyes. it was so enjoyable i even missed my stop and had to take backwards. haha.

the nano is pretty cool. it's so freaking light and small. i almost died when i thought it got scratched as i didnt have a proper pouch for it so had to dump it in my pouch-wallet. one little mark on the screen which couldnt be rubbed off.
but now it's gone. i think.
i need a screen protector!! anyone knows where i can get one. preferably below 15 or around there.


and i need a pouch too! i bought a temporary one, 5 bucks cheap cheap. but it's like oversized so it's not very nice. i want a snug fit one.


speaking of snug fit, i'm so annoyed with the ipod in-ear ear phones. Ok firstly it's not the same design as normal in-ear earphones, in terms of the shape. so i was skeptical whether it was really in-ear.

here let me show you pictures:


Ipod in-ears


normal in-ears (some brand called TDK. not a very good one, one side is spoilt already. but the shape is the same as other in-ears la.)


a side by side comparison.
see the distinctive difference between Ipod inears and normal inears? the ipod ones dont even look like they're inears. just.. maybe a more narrow normal earphones


(on a completely random note, i dunno how to get my macro function to focus properly!! you see the first one.. it's focused on the earphones, but the next 2 the focus is on the background. i dunno why it's like that! i already set macro! :( )

so being skeptical i asked the salesgirl if they can really fit into the ears and she said yes!

but it doesnt!!

i'm already using the smallest ear piece of the in-ears and it doesnt fit properly. like.. snugly. like how in-ears should be. (like how my old in-ears are like) like it can come loose easily and stuff, instead of sitting comfortably inside your ears.

and they cost freaking 69bucks!!! grrr. i'm so mad. :@


and some random pics today


hahahahha
this is just me being lamee. can you read what the sign(s) says?
'Please put at edge of table' ma. so i put at the edge lor. hahaha.

YES I BOUGHT AN IPOD NANO 4G (8GB) !!!
wahahaa. 4G refers to 4th Generation in case you were wondering.



it's really small
=)



and SLIM! wow i was more stunned by its slimness. it's like, a toothpick thick.

and it's damn light!! i can barely feel it. it's like i can hold it on my palm then somenoe takes it away and i wont know. it's like i can toss it on the floor and it wont spoil cos there's virtually no IMPACT.


ahh. i finally have an mp3 player. yes i didnt have any mp3 player before this. and i wanted to be able to organise my songs and be more updated with music.. hence.. =)
ahh , i'm such a splurger.

what's the cool functions? well i've yet to explore, i'm syncing the songs and all now, but some include changing to shuffle mode by just shaking the ipod, rotating the ipod sideways and the screen becomes landscape, etc.

=)

ill play with it laterrr.

Faith

I just had an interesting revelation recently, about 2 days ago when i was reading this book called "Reaching for the Invisible God"

My christian faith was never in doubt - i never stopped believing that Jesus is God and blabla all that. But i DID have many questions that i never received satisfying answers to.

For example, one thing which i always had problems accepting was that - Christians seem to shape what they say to accomodate the fact that God is good.
Ok for example.. when bad things happen, christians will say oh it's part of God's plan, everything will eventually turn out fine, and they seem to help push all the blame off God when bad things happen, but when good things happen, they praise God and all.
As the author of the book writes : "How can i praise God for the good things in life without censuring him for the bad?"

Indeed, how? Then the author presents this simple analogy which struck home .. it made total sense and i realised i've been thinking about it the wrong way. I hope i'm not violating any copyright laws by typing it out here:

"I find a parallel in human relationships. If i am waiting for my friend Larry at a rendezvous point, and he has not shown up an hour past the agreed-upon time, I do not start cursing his irresponsibility and thoughtlessness. Years of friendship have taught me that Larry is prompt and reliable. I assume that something -- a flat tire? an accident? -- over which he had no control has thwarted his plans. Those i love, i credit for good things and try not to blame for bad, assuming instead other forces are at work"

It's true isn't it? In our relationship with God, i'm sure we've had experienced some blessings which he has showered upon us. Good friends, a comfortable home.. loving parents . etcetc.
Over time, we've established the fact that God is a loving God.

Hence when tough times come.. we shouldnt automatically blame God and all. On the contrary, it may be 'other forces at work' , such as the devil himself trying to plant seeds of doubt in us like to Job in the Bible.
Just bear in mind that God will not let us suffer more than what we can bear. Instead, through our sufferings, we learn to become stronger, more resilient, more durable.
