So proud!!
this is MY desktop!!
So proud!!
This is the shot with the dock and Winamp(the play buttons on the right side)
and below the dock is auto-hidden!!
Muahahaha!! So cool!! Did this all by myself!!
Ok, I didn't create the widgets and stuff, but I customized and put all the elements together..
And ignoring the Windows start button, could you tell this was a Windows Vista??
Credits to the designers of the skins I used for Rainmeter, Rainlendar and Winamp.
Other apps I used:
Taskbar Eliminator
RocketDock
I love a clean desktop, no ugly icons, and having everything accessible. So a short intro to what I have here.
Since I don't really use that many apps anyway, the dock is pretty short and tidy.
I've got the usual clock, date and weather on the right. My Law folders are there too, makes studying a lot easier. Just one click on them, and no bulky icons.. And I've got a Gmail shortcut, so can just check mail with one click, without signing in and everything. At the bottom right, I've got my comp's status (eg. battery life, uptime and wireless connectivity). Don't like seeing my RAM and all, so I customized and got rid of those.
On the left, the calendar is synced to my Google calendars, so I've got my class timetable and all my events and reminders on it. Organized much!!
Haha!! I'm so so so so happy with this!! So nice to wake up to a beautiful desktop on my table..

Stepping out of line
"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
Is still hiding
Up my sleeve
They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side
I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just to lie you've got to rise above
So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
Faded white hats
Grabbing credits
and
Maybe transfers
They read all the books but they can't find the answers
And all of our parents
They're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
While in their memories
Tiny tragedies
They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side
~John Mayer's No Such Thing
I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
wood and places to make it feel like home
but all I feel’s alone
it might be a quarter-life crisis
or just the stirring in my soul
either way
I wonder sometimes
about the outcome
of a still verdictless life
am I living it right
am I living it right
am I living it right
why, why Georgia, why
wood and places to make it feel like home
but all I feel’s alone
it might be a quarter-life crisis
or just the stirring in my soul
either way
I wonder sometimes
about the outcome
of a still verdictless life
am I living it right
am I living it right
am I living it right
why, why Georgia, why
~John Mayer's Why Georgia
Suppose I said
I am on my best behavior
there are times
I lose my worried mind
Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?
I am on my best behavior
there are times
I lose my worried mind
Would you want me when I'm not myself?

~John Mayer's Not Myself
No I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind but
I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's movin' in
I know I can't
But honestly
Won't someone stop this train
Don't know how else to say it
Don't wanna see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's movin' in
I know I can't
But honestly
Won't someone stop this train
So scared of gettin' older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said help me understand
He said turn 68
You renegotiate
Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
Don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly
We'll never stop this train
Once in a while when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
'til you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed
It's movin' in
I know I can't
'cause now I see
I'll never stop this train
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind but
I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's movin' in
I know I can't
But honestly
Won't someone stop this train
Don't know how else to say it
Don't wanna see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again

~John Mayer's Stop This Train
I love John Mayer's lyrics. They're so relevant to me right now. He writes every line like he means it. And its so real, I can believe he's been through it. Really helps me. Just...figuring out my life, one step at a time.

sZe 20th Birthday
Meet the trio from Malaysia
with the most special one in the middle
Hot beautiful and tall in more ways than one
a dream come true, and one hell of a joyride
in London
the journey starts at the cathedral
and gets artistic along the way at the Tate Modern
Little bit historical with the Golden Hinde
And wacky at Borough Market with a fishy sort of durian
Extremely indulgent 70% dark chocolate brownies
"I'm not racist"
relaxed at EAT
with home-cooked pasta later and Haagen Daazs to top it off
After a few drinks at Sophie's
Experience with new friends
and the strong fearsome Sze Brown
screams of terror
ala singing "Calle Ocho" to ghosts
beautiful girl has lunch
when we get to Warwick Avenue
or more like London's Little Venice
with a new haircut
by (un)professional hairdresser Sze
The Cuban dinner with cake, candles and all
shots
too bad no pics of Sze's scrunched up face after the drinks
on the dancefloor
So there's the wkend in pics. Had an awesome time just chilling and fulfilling all the grown up things we dreamt of doing, way back when. Sze, hope you're 20th was when you realise you are all that you want to be and so much more. Love lots!
