The Ipod shall lead to my downfall soon not or later... Feel absolutely wasted now, after spending an entire morning fiddling with my Ipod Touch and checking out apps I can download... Sis got me a 32GB Ipod Touch last Christmas (Christmas 09/Birthday & Christmas 10 combined) out of the blue... and well, it was a really nice gift. Haven't explored it very much since, but well, have found quite a few cool apps over the past week or so!

Dun have many apps for now, but my fav one is SHAZAM. It has to be every music lover's find of the year or something. This amazing app basically listens to songs playing on the radio/wherever, and tells u what song/singer it is! And so far it can match songs 90% of the time, in like 10 seconds!

Another exciting app (recommended by YJ but a less 'instant gratification' sort of app) is STANZA -- which is basically like a e-reader, except that it feels more like a hybrid e-reader cum book. I never had a thing for these e-book readers, but this one seems decent enough. You can flip the pages and customise the background to make it feel more book-like... And it's free! But so far it seems gd only for classics though -- unless I'm willing to buy e-versions of the latest books.

Also downloaded a piano app after watching someone play ColdPlay's 'Clocks' using the Ipod/Iphone piano app... and after practising on and off the past hour or so, I can kinda do it now too hehe... :P

It was a blah day today. Someone walked over and said she could feel the higher concentration of asbestos at my workstation (yeah rite...) another colleague warned me about overexposure to printer toner. great.... now I'm subject to all these health hazards on top of being victim of claustrophobic workstation. Now there's only a sliver of space through which I catch human traffic through the corner of my left eye. I'm walled in front, right and back, with a huge ceiling height cupboard to my left... Though there's narrow strip of walking space to my left (just b4 the cupboard), i can only hear but not see who's approaching from my 7-o-clock until they walk past me into my corner-of-left-eye line of side vision...

I'd be starting off the new year at work in a new workstation. Though "new", it's certainly inferior to my previous cubicle. I have been illegally squatting at Eco-city territory (for a good 7 months); but now I've been kicked out within short notice to the only other empty workstation ard Housing Div territory. So sad, I moved further away from the window, closer to the noisy printers, nearer to my Director's room and human traffic thoroughfare. Sigh. I suspect it's gonna be way more difficult to concentrate on my work at this location. I had better remember to go and chope some secluded workstation soon, so that I can shift house again once the more premium stations are freed up.

Sigh, the long weekend is over :(
