Brief update

Tech update this week:

Office 2010 on Windows 7
Seriously beautiful piece of work. It’s not nearly enough to get me to buy Office 2010 when it comes out, but for now the free beta is awesome enough that I want to keep using it.

Google Buzz is fun
Now, to figure out how to set all my Buzzes to private by default.

Sansa is now Mort
He started out by being a girl, then somehow Ian convinced me that Sansa was actually a boy. That meant his name had to be a guy’s because calling someone Sasa (muscular in Malay) didn’t quite gel with me. In the end I sought inspiration from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman and called him Morpheus. His nickname is Mort. Yes I do love Terry Pratchett too why do you ask? :3

New netbook wanted
Author’s note: Argh, sorry, I didn’t realise only half the section got posted. >>
I want a new netbook simply because of the battery life. Shiki’s been very tsundere since I named him such, and his battery life has been going downhill. It’s quite disconcerting, really. :S Am wondering what other netbooks I can get at below RM1000. Anyone has ideas?

Genesis (Genesis)
of Aquarion (of Aquarion)

I remember sitting with you (sitting there with you)
Underneath the tree of life (Underneath the tree of life)
We listened to every fainted cry
Of the creatures there on the day the world began

Looking at everything that I’ve lost (everything that I’ve lost)
And almost everything that I’ve loved (everything that I’ve loved)
I’ll hold them all (in my arms)tightly in my arms
Wondering where I am, so please tell me where to go

All of the answers you seek lie hidden in the sun (Ta-i-yo)
If I hadn’t met you my life
would’ve been in the (Darkness forever)darkness forever
In my wings (In my wings) are the powers of immortality
But by meeting you (You) my whole life has changed (changed)
You give light to me hope to me strength into my life

All this time, these twelve thousand years
I know Aishiteru (I Love You)
Eight thousand years from the time that
I’ve met you my love grows strong than ever before (oh My love)
Words can’t say of this time
I’ve been waiting to share my love with you (Aishiteru)
I’d give you my life,
I would give you the world to see you smiling every day (smiling every day)
One hundred million and two thousand years
from now Aishiteru [Aishiteru] (I Love You)
I want you to know since you came in my life every day, every night
you give light into the darkest skies (skies)
(Aquarion)

All these twelve thousand years I’ve been loving you
