Summer Nights

July 7th, 2010

test blogging from my new iPhone. yes, I have joined the legion of Steve Jobs’ bright eyed and bushy tailed. liking the device very much so far, but like I tweeted recently, the iPhone 4 isn’t perfect until FaceTime can be used on 3G and there is an app that allows the phone to expel air conditioning from the speaker vents. but ok la still quite awesome cos it feels like a new world has just unfolded at my fingertips.

am attaching a photo of the Brooklyn bridge against a shimmering manhattan canvas. Kafka and I went to dinner last night in Brooklyn, and the view from our table was just spectacular. the restaurant rests on a barge anchored to the concrete shores of the East River, floating just under the majestic Brooklyn Bridge and ensconcing diners in the marvel of lower manhattan from afar. I have this recurrent dream where I wake up alone in an apartment tinted dark blue with this city’s amorphous skyline. the view from my bedroom window is always the same yet never feels familiar. it’s just one of those entities in life that will always be so gorgeous to the eye, but just a little painful to reflect upon.

i’ll be home in KL by two days. summer in New York has been exciting and relaxing but as always I can’t wait to be back in the familiar folds of friends, family and sang har meen.

could get used to this blogging from phone thing!

aiyak lari margins. will fix from home… on my macbook. haha.

    ohnoes, pinkpau joined the apple zombies!

    personally, i think apple users are kinda douchey (excluding present company, of course :P) and they are fun to annoy. there’s this bloke i know who just bought an ipad. i was in his room and he asked me, “hey kok, have you played with my ipad?” after another guy who was in the room had his way with the device. the entire last sentence sounds dirty but moving on; i said, “nope.”

    “wanna try it out?” he said, waving the thing in my face “it’s a lot fun…”

    and i was like, “uh no thanks” and took a book off his bookshelf to check out.

    “seriously, it’s very addictive,” he pressed me a bit more.

    “nah, i’m good,” i said and proceeded to read. “not a fan of apple products.”

    he looked so disappointed, haha.

    p.s. i have yet to touch an iphone, ipod or ipad in my life, in spite of the fact that most of my friends own one of these things. noli me tangere, steve jobs!
