multi-touch interface
uh-oh! i just remembered something. i was arguing with my mother few weeks ago about how i think the so-called multi-touch feature on her ipod touch isn't multi-touch after all. well literally the word 'multi' means more than one and of course the feature that apple offers you can be called multi-touch. as you all know, the iphone and ipod touch allows you to operate it using your very own two fingers, but not more. i actually don't know why i'm talking about this. it's just that apple claiming to have invented the, again, so-called multi-touch feature, makes them look so superior (..and then again, i really don't know what this has to do with me? :p) ok, so maybe you who are reading this right now would probably be wondering "so what the hell do you mean?". hahaa. here you go. see for yourself. please, open the link, watch the video. Multi-Touch Interaction Experiments, Jeff Han (2006) Microsoft Surface now that's multi-touch! seriously, crazy stuff, don't you think?

ups.. and of course downs!
f-f-f-finallyyyy! after almost 5 months of not submitting any entry to this blog! i stupidly forgot the password to my account. not only that, i even forgot which email account i used. hahaa! but hey, everything's good now :D
i really can't believe it's been 4 months since 2008 started. and in a while it'll be half through the year. whoa! i've been through quite some ups and downs so far. the year started off so well, i welcomed the year with special people around. but it didn't last for long cz i had to snap back to reality. yeah, back to singapore, back to college, back to hell! then as usual assignments keep coming and coming like there's no end. everyday's a hectic one. in early february, my mom filed for d (finally!). i was told to come home. i had to attend to court and for the first time, i really didn't felt like going home, at all. and yes, it turned out to be a disastrous week. it involved a lot of tears and shouting and cursing, really. altho it was kind of relieving, i still felt so angry. but then again, there's nothing i can do. and of course, after just spending a week at home, i had to say hello, again, to reality. i started forgetting about what's going on, then suddenly on the 26th, i got a phone call from my mom saying my beloved grandmother just passed away. i immediately break down to pieces again remembering i've just went through quite a lot that month. i rushed back home and went straight to bandung. sadly i didn't make it on time, so i didn't get to see her before she got buried. i miss you, emah :'( i hope you're happy up there with bapak. see you again someday, okay? and agaaain, i went back to hell. until now. i now got even more assignments than before. my God, i really need a break! my friends back home just went through their version of hell, the UAN. and in a few weeks, the IBs will be having their final exams. i wish u all the very best, darlings :D and this means, in a few months, we will all be separated, probably scattered all around the world. i can't believe everyone's graduating so soon. prom will be held on June the 6th. i'm planning on going home on the 4th. i'm in between excited and sad, really. cz i'll be coming home to gather with all my friends to celebrate, what?, the fact that we won't be together anymore? sad, right? well in my case, i've separated with them since almost a year ago. but still, err, well, get what i mean right? oh well, it's life. there's nothing much we can do to change things. uhh, i'm getting sleepy here. i think i'm going to take a quick nap ;p cheerio, miyanka (: |
