#358-Happy 1st birthday, www.alexkhoo.net! 00:03

Time flies, eh? What started out as "This Is My Life Bitch", http://thisismylifebitchh.blogspot.com and went on to become "Alex Khoo's Blog", http://callmealexkhoo.blogspot.com and what is now known as www.alexkhoo.net in both URL and Blog Name is now one year old! I started my blog last year on the 19th of April and although I know it's a few days later (today's the 23rd), I was busy. I also started my blog just for fun after reading my most influential blogger, Nicholas Chan, and again, I can't believe it's a year old already! The custom domain name/URL isn't a year old yet, having only gotten it in November last year, but it's the whole blog and it's contents which count. Now it's a year old, I hope the content has improved since I first started and it's mostly photos and videos on my blog, not many personal thoughts (I'm not that kind of person who pours his/her heart out on his/her blog.

#246-Hey y'all! 16:36

Hey y'all!! Finally got time to do a blogpost. I just got back my phone, so I'm actually blogging on my phone now. So, to give you some updates on my past one week since my laptop was taken away, here it is.

On Monday the 20th, it was the day my lappie was taken out of the room. It was heart-breaking. Lol. XD. Had a haircut in the evening at my usual barber. At night, it was the 2nd last lesson for my English class with my grandaunt.

I did not go to school the next day. It was also the day I sent my phone in for the 2nd time for repairs. After that, I attended a mini-seminar more intended for school counselors and headmasters at the E&O hotel. There were only about 3 students including me at the seminar. It was about what you need and such to attend the top universities in England, hosted by an old friend and the principal of the Davies Laing and Dick college in London, Mr. David Lowe. The new fridge also came that day, about an hour after I got back from the seminar. At night, instead of attending BM class, I went for Chemistry instead due to the dinner I had to attend the next day.

22nd was another day of no school for me. Did some Add Maths revision at home. In the afternoon had an appointment/interview at ASA, my agent for college-hunting, with Mr. Lowe. It went well infact, lasting about 2 hours. In the evening, it was dinner with Mr. Lowe at Hainan Town at Weld Quay.

Won't blog about the 23rd. Nothing much happened on that day.

Ahh. I hit the big one-seven on the 24th. It was my birthday and everything went well on that day. Went for my last official day at St. Xaviers Instituition as a student as we Form 5ers and Upper Form 6ers have a 2 week study leave for the upcoming SPM/STPM exams. Cameras can be seen everywhere with almost everyone taking photos with their friends including me. I had alot of photos taken that day as memories. Sorry guys! Photos will only be up after the SPM! Mended a few relationships too. Oh and the scene during recess at the canteen was the liveliest one ever. A lot of jokes and such were being passed around. A group of Upper Form 6ers were having a mini-party. Hah. And it's a day where teachers can't take away our cameras. IT WAS LIKE THE BEST DAY OF SCHOOL EVERR!!!. IIn the evening, it was tuition as usual and my birthday dinner was later. Celebrated it at Chili's with my parents, brother, the maids, and my granduncle and grandaunt. Later, we adjourned back home for cake-cutting.

The weekends were the usual boring stuff, studying and such. Our old fridge was taken away on Saturday after serving us for a good 17years.

Monday, Tuesday and yesterday was again, normal and nothing much happened. Got my phone back yesterday right after Chemistry class.

#224-What should I get? 16:12

Well, my 17th birthday is in 19 days time (24th OCT) and I plan on getting a birthday present for myself. I probably won't buy the present until after the SPM but I'm posting this now to get my readers opinion on what I should get.


Well, I need a handheld gaming console to keep myself entertained on-the-go/when I'm on an airplane/a roadtrip holiday. My phone's games are totally boring and when I'm not taking pictures like when the camera runs out of battery, the memory card is full, or I just don't feel like taking pictures, I can entertain myself with the PSP-3000 pictured above. It's being released in Europe on Oct 15 for $199(RM660). The PSP-3000 is not much different in design over the PSP-2000, it's only the addition of a mic and kind of like an anti-glare screen.

This is the new Nintendo DSi released for $180 in Japan. It now has a larger screen, SD card slot, internal storage, music playback, and dual cameras. The reason I want this is the same as the PSP, to entertain myself.

I may want a new phone too. Maybe I'll trade my P1i in or something. I won't necessarily want the Nokia E71i like above, I'm open to all brands (except cheap-imitation-China-brands). Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG, HTC, Nokia and Motorola are all welcomed. Recommendations?

New iPod? Yea. My nano has some problems syncing lately and there are scratches everywhere. 120GB classic because I have alot of photos, 20GB worth of videos, and 2000 songs? Yea.

Or should I get the iPod touch? It's 16GB capacity is enough for some of my video files, my entire music library and probably part of my photo library.

So what should I get? Please, please do mumble something below or leave a message in my chatbox! Thanks alot!
