[I am finally in tune with the latest technology]
[I am finally in tune with the latest technology]
... but it fails you sometimes.
I WON THE BATTLE FOR THE IPOD!
My brother finally surrendered his iPod to me.
I must thank my Dad, the United Nations of the household, who negotiated with my brother.
Come on, he has TWO iPods. One 1st-Gen iPod, Mother iPod of all iPods, and one iPod Nano. IPOD NANO LEH. Wah lao.
And to think there's someone else in the household who's been deprived of most form of audio entertainment. My one and only stereo broke down one and a half years ago. I have been through two discmans. I've had enough of cumbersome CD collections and irritating moments when my discman jumps.
So I'm going high tech, eons after everyone did. AS USUAL.
By the time I went high-tech people already consider that mid-tech.
Admit it, Lin Fangying, you're an OUTCAST! A conformist's worst nightmare! A trend loser! Immune to peer pressure! HAHAHA!
I sound like a moron.
I AM a moron.
So why does technology fail me?
Because I'm still living in the age of the Neanderthal man!
I still forage for food, yah.
So actually I fail technology.
Guess what's in my iPod?
Pon De Replay?
Don't Cha?
You're Beautiful?
No, nope, nuh, nah, nada, ah-ni. None of those trashy pop/hip-hop stuff DJs play over the radio without even announcing the title and the singer.
I'm goin'.... OLDIE! MICHAEL BUBLE! LOUIS ARMSTRONG! THE CARPENTERS!
And of course, the less trashy of the trash which includes Linkin Park, Moulin Rouge soundtrack and so on so forth.
I have three different versions of Sway! One with the lady singer, one by Michael Buble and one by Peter Cincotti. The last one sucks 'cos it's too, too, too SLOW. The first one was lagi best. It's the kind that gets you up on your feet to SWAY.
What I really want to do is to use my brother's Quicktime Pro on his Mac, cut up the huge chunks of TS2 soundtracks into individual songs, and transfer them to my iPod.
Guess that'll be three years later.
I'm kinda short on human rights when I'm home, yah.
