Better In Time

post # 315


Here I am, sitting in a cold waiting room while Paolo Vallesi – Sono Dove Sei played on my WMP. Ermm….didn’t have much to write, just ordinary weekdays, with some highlights like on Wednesday I attended a presentation for a project prospect. After the presentation I went through Pasar Festival (Festival Market) complex. There was this building inside the complex that reminded me of a time five months ago when I visited it for the first time. Again (I know some of you, my loyal reader might have been bored with this sentence already)…time really flew. In a blink of an eye, days passed and months changed.

Speaking of eye, today was the surgery day. *Laura Pausini – 16/5/1974 played at the moment. My memory brought me few years back when I had a little surgery for my right eye. This time, the feeling was different. I didn’t feel anxious like I had been. Probably because I wasn’t the patient this time. Or maybe because I have lost a little electricity on my neuron which resulted in lack of emotions….lolzzz

Been a bit nostalgic yesterday by listening Italian songs. It’s true that certain smells, songs/music, places, pictures could bring back the memories it contained/associated with. Listening to Neri Per Caso, Eros, Massimo, Laura, Paolo, Jovanotti reminded me of a time around 5-8 years ago. I remembered playing Romance of Three Kingdoms late at night, strategizing to unite China under one emperor, imagining how it’d be like to be like Zhuge Liang, to go to battle like Zhao Yun, etc. Sim City 2000 and Civilization were among the games I played while listening to those Italians.

Yesterday I had a chat with a colleague. We talked about the (so) many turnover that had been happening this year, how we found there were so many new faces we didn’t recognize. How many of our comrades had ‘graduated’ while we’re still here. Made me thinking, I’d been focusing on my plan B it made me put aside my plan A. Ermmm, actually by paving the way on my plan B, I also preparing the way for plan A, it’s just that…plan A needed time and it’s not like flipping my hand to make the decision. There were some variables I had to take into consideration. *sigh

Last nite me and my colleagues went to a computer exhibition, Indocomtech 2008 at JCC. I’d been laying my eyes on some interesting notebooks. I think it’s about time to make some regeneration, though my Thinkpad still functioned properly, but it almost couldn’t cope up with the tasks it needed to do. There were some candidates that I had short listed. They were:

Lenovo Thinkpad SL300
Nice, responsive keyboard, HDMI, 3 USB ports, 13.3”. But I didn’t really like the glossy lid, un ergonomic v-shape body, and when I tested yesterday, the touch pad wasn’t really responsive.


HP Pavilion DV4-1022tx
Remote control, tactile keyboard, Altec Lansing speakers (from my experience with HP laptops, Altec Lansing speakers gave better sound quality compared to other in notebook class), 14.1”, 3 USB ports, e-sata port and HDMI. Too bad the body was given metal accent, which for me was quite a turn off. There was a sibling for this variant named Compaq CQ45. It was quite nice, but hadn’t really got the chance to try. Too bad that the newest Pavilion, HP DV3500t, the first 13.3” screen from HP wasn’t available yet here. It seemed attractive.

Asus F6V
Excellent connectivity, in terms number of ports (4 USB ports, 1 e-sata, HDMI, VGA, RJ11 and RJ45, Express Card) and the placement of the ports. They all contained in 13.3” screen. Nice keyboard, but my friend told me that his previous Asus notebook had a trouble with the hinges. Well, I hope they had fixed this issue. Asus also launched Asus N20A, a new 12.1” laptop with nice features, but it wasn’t available yet.

Other candidates that should be on the list were Toshiba Satelite E105-S1402. Its macbook-like design was quite catchy with nice selection of ports.


*yawning…

Another busy weekend awaited. First check up after the surgery with the doctor to see the recovery process, still not functioning inet connection, a wedding reception each on Saturday and Sunday. And for the Sunday, it’d be in Bandung. And I just remembered, a friend also invited me to his wedding reception on Saturday two weeks from now, clashed with a scheduled gathering. Hmmmmm….24 hours was really not enough. Well…I guess everything would be better in time. Stresses, recoveries, disappointments, burdens, heartaches, relationships, reconciliations; they’ll be better in time. This song from Leona Lewis had caught my attention since the first time I heard it. The beat, rhythm, and lyric was good....It'll all get better in time


Leona Lewis - Better In Time

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realise that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I will be ok

[Chorus:]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings

If I'm dreaming don't wanna let
Hurt my feelings but that's the path
I believe in
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice well you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is Imma be ok

[Chorus:]

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

[Chorus: X2]
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really loved you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
yes I do
It'll all get better in time
