biz trip all set..

I’m going on a business trip to South France after my exams in August. It’s for the annual summer workshop at the Central office in Fuveau.  I should be there for 12 days and I’m beginning to dread the feeling of leaving Nardyne behind.

I thought of connecting using video via MSN but I need to install the messenger for that and I can’t do that on the work laptop. I can only use web messenger and it does not support video streaming.

Then Dino suggested that I make short recordings for every day and night that I’m not around and he’ll play it for her when she wakes up and before she goes to sleep. It’s a good idea but I don’t know what to record now.

There’s just so many things that I can do with the OMNIA. I can video call Dino and talk to Nardyne for a while every morning/night, though the time difference might be a problem.

I can record a video of myself talking to Nardyne and MMS them to Dino. It’ll be of a better quality then my current phone and I’ll have a better idea of what to say to her.

I seldom use my current phone camera, but with OMNIA I can take more pictures and upload them up on Facebook or here on WordPress.

The GPS function can definitely help us get around in South France. We got lost the last time we wanted to go to Cassis, we were heading towards Nice instead.

I have no worries of connecting via WiFi during the last 5 days because the hotel I’m going to has free WiFi access, it’s the first 7 days that I have to rely on SMS, MMS..

And it’s a bummer that I’ll be spending my birthday and the beginning of Ramadhan away from home and family. Being in constant contact will help to lessen that melancholic feeling and to do that, I just need the OMNIA.

my monday blues..

I have no idea why but yesterday was the first time that I slept in class, in Econs class some more! I had a feeling a headache was coming my way and it came after the break. And somehow I was feeling very drowsy as if I took meds. Anyway at first I tried to be subtle about it, resting my head on one hand and staring at the screen. Then I shifted my hands to support the chin, still staring at the screen. Then the elbows gave way and the hands rested on the table, the chin obviously followed the hands and I was gone for at least 5 mins. I tried to keep myself awake but my eyes zoned out by itself and this went on for at least half an hour. I didn’t copy whatever the lecturer was explaining, will need to borrow someone’s notes next Monday.

Though I don’t receive & make much calls & SMS, I hate it when I’m without my phone. I left the phone in the car when Dino dropped me off for class. And I hate it when class finished early and I don’t have my phone to tell Dino that I finished early and to pick me up from Ngee Ann. I wish I have the OMNIA. I will never leave the Omnia behind, it’ll be with me, ALWAYS.
