Tech and the Goat's House

For the first time in history, there wasn't a single person online on my ICQ list!

Well, the number of people who had been online in ICQ had been diminishing at a steady rate since the on-start of MSN but I'm still quite surprised to see no one online at all! What happened to those people who keep their computer on 24/7?

Oh well, it's now the age of MSN I guess. I figured that it's easier to chat with MSN, rather then having to click "Send" every time you finish typing a sentence. I'm on MSN all the time, whether I'm at home on my PC or when I'm outside on my mobile.

My friends, if you happen to be on my MSN list and see me accessing MSN through my mobile, please do chat with me. It means I'm bored to the extent I have to go online outside to seek refuge in the virtual chatting world.

Well then, since we are on the topic of technology, let's talk about my phone. A while ago I was self debating on which phone to get and was pondering on the pros and cons of the various phones.

If you had seen me recently, you would know that I'm using a N7610 now and I tell you, I love this phone!

I can surf the net, chat on MSN and sort my e-mails on the go, albeit the slow connection speed (I'm too poor to go for 3G!).

I can take reasonably clear photos and save it to my PC.

I can view my calendar and even synchronize it with my MS Outlook on my PC.

Alas, I'm short of a stylus and MS Office applications but I guess these are secondary needs.

Ah, the merits of technology.

I was at Natalie the Goat's house yesterday and her dog didn't seem to like me!

What a day it was.

First, I was labeled "boring" by a friend. Next, the Goat's friend, whom the Goat claimed that was being wooed by an amazing 16 guys previously and 7 guys currently, said I looked older than her present boyfriend who is 29 this year.

@#$^@!^*$%!!!

And Pepper the dog, after a few minutes of interaction with me, decided that he didn't like me and proceeded to eat my finger. Ok, he managed to nudge my finger but I was faster!

Being bored and boring, the Goat and I tried out some duets and her dog started singing along. At least someone, some dog rather, appreciates my playing! This same character seems to be afraid of me or didn't like me. Music goes beyond boundaries I guess. Goat said that he was whining but I still prefer to think that he was trying to sing along. =)

Well, at least her maid said that I look like I'm 20 this year.

Her mum was pretty nice and very hospitable. She read what I wrote about the Goat the other time! Good thing she was more amused than angered. =)

And Auntie, if you're reading this, thanks for your food again!

I wonder if you had tried making kambing soup before? =)
