Daddy Dearest

My lifelong dream of going to Disneyland will come true next year! Mickey And Minnie maybe French but hey, nobody can hear them over the huge head...

Next spring the whole family is heading to Europe, first stop Paris...cest la vie. Thanks Daddy for making it happen. i find my father becomes more generous as he gets older...Maybenow that he earns more and doesn't have to raise 4 children anymore he is full of surpluses. Not complaining although it does feel weird to have your dad still buying you stuff when you already have kids of your own :)

I hope one day I can give him what he wants...i.e. A brand new Merc or Beemer. Patience ya Daddy, I promise you I will...

Apple vs Blackberry

I am not a fan of touchscreens..after using Dopod when it was one of the 'in' mobile pda-s to have back in 2006, i've sworn off touchscreens appliances. Maybe it's my fat fingers..so never really caught on the iphone fever. Instead I've been a BB loyalist, first the Curve then the Bold. But as much i love their qwerty keypads, the software had failed me many times. I am currently on my third BB in 2 years.

However, daddy gave me an ipad2 recently and ofcourse the typing has improved as the qwerty is bigger (fat fingers remember). But i still find navigating for the apostrophes and quote symbols a hassle. Maybe over time it'll be easier...

Overall, i find the ipad is useful to past time only while waiting either at the airport or on the plane, but then again I also have my DS lite for that same reason. The fact is doesn't support flash limiys your surfing satisfaction but cool apps like djmixer and instagram was very much welcomed and the skype quality is also better than my netbook.

Another thing i find it useful for is notes. Now i can keep all my notes in one place especially work notes instead of writing in a new one everrytime i forgot where i put it last.

I guess my dad summarised it best when i suggest he gets one for himself, "i only buy what I need, not what I want..."
