And if you haven’t already,

I wouldn’t say I’m a big fan per se, but I listen to alot to Mariah Carey. And if you haven’t know, her new single “Obsessed” was out last week. Since then I’m literally obsessed with it!

Initially I was kinda disappointed that it’s not a big ballad and on the first time listening, it sounded a wee bit cheesy to me. But like how her songs seem to grow in you the more you listen to them, I’m officially obsessed with the song.

As I checked out the lyrics, I found info on websites pointing out that Mariah’s actually dissing Eminem with the song. That’s actually a current story behind the song!

Here’s roughly how it went down:

1. Eminem pissed over Mariah marrying Nick Cannon.
2. Eminem mentioned that he was dating her for 6 months, to which she denied.
3. He then wrote a song “Bagpipes From Bagdad” to diss the couple. Check out the lyrics man! VERY INTERESTING!
4. All the drama mama.
5. And finally Mariah lashing out back at him with “Obsessed”

So anyway, the song was ringing in my head for the entire day when I was in camp. And with nothing much to do, I doodled this.

The 3-flap-thingies on the sides of ‘O’ and ‘d’ are supposedly to resemble wings. BUT FAILED. Meh.

Worked in some photoshop magic after I scanned it in and viola~!

That’s my twitter background now btw!

I know I’m late in blogging about this, but I thought I really should do it ‘cos I think deserve some bragging rights!

First of all, I’ve gotten facebook.com/JAYDEN! Suffice to say, I’d beaten all the Jaydens in the world in getting this unique username! YOU TELL ME, HOW COOL IS THAT?!

Everything happened so fast and before I know it, FACEBOOK.COM/JAYDEN IS MINE MINE MINE!

Here’s how it happened:

I was at Fab’s office that morning and we had two laptops logged on to Facebook, one to get his and another to get mine! I was quite relaxed in the beginning, but as the time slowly ticked away, I began to grew antsy and kept having thoughts like, “Meh. I don’t think I can get just ‘Jayden’. Maybe ‘Jayden.Tan’ or something lor”

To make it worst, the counter on Fab’s screen was ticking 3 seconds faster than mine! I tried refreshing the page a couple of times and it was still the same! By that time, I was already consoling myself that ‘Jayden’ will be too impossible to grab.

I was still thinking to myself when Fab suddenly yelled, “CAN ALREADY!”

Turned to my screen, and I saw that blue ‘CONTINUE’ button, as if it was written as “CLICK ME NOW NOW NOW NOW!”

I didn’t even read the instructions that came up. And I can’t remember what was on the screen actually ‘cos I clicked damn friggin’ fast. I was like, “OMG DID I GET IT? DID I GET IT? DID I GET IT?”

The next thing was this:

I remember trying to restrain my exclamation of OHHHHH MYYYYY GAAAWWWWWDDDDD (cos there were other people in his office), whilst hearing Fab’s dismay that ‘Fabian’ was taken. He eventually got /fabian.lau which is directable too from /fabianlau without the dot.

For the next hour or so, I was on Twitter, Plurk and Facebook announcing my shiny new username. I was too damn happy about it.

However, here’s one thing that I simply don’t understand.

Why do people get so excited even when they’d gotten something that is not-so-unique? They were like me too, exclaiming that they have gotten URLs like /jason.tan /emily.lim /jonathan.eng (FOR EXAMPLE ONLY)

Like hello?! As far as there might be tons of Jason Tans, Emily Lims, and Jonathan Engs, but that fella who grabbed only the singular name as the URL still triumphs over you. It’s like, “Oh you mean your url’s SLASH EMILY DOT LIM? Mine’s just Emily!” (accompanied by the flicking of the hair to show how /emily is more superior than /emily.lim)

I have nothing to say about those with unique nicks that are already well-known by their friends. You’ve got your unique username, Y-A-Y, but you didn’t have to put up a fight for it. So, why so happy?

Moral of the story, I am DAMN PROUD that I got /jayden. There should already be a high society club for all of the ‘slash one names’! Who knows down the road, some bloody rich Jayden would buy this url from me? (evil laughter)

OKAY, I can already hear tons of people calling out “CHEAP THRILL!” “SO WHAT?!” But hey, look what this guy sent me minutes after I got my url.

At least there’s proof that people (or penguins) are fighting for ‘slash one names’!

P/s: Please don’t add me on Facebook if I don’t know you.

I’ve seriously lost touch in blogging! I’ve got like tons of photos and things to blog about but I just don’t get the kick to start writing. OH NO!

Advertorial

More exactly, it went way off the charts ever since I started to access websites via my phone. After the “GENEROUS” $5 discount (which is equivalent to only about 2MB free), this month’s charges for my mobile data is a whooping $93.90.

Mind you, it’s not the first time my bill had exploded due to my data usage.

Here’s the painful sight:

(this is NOT SingTel, by the way)

So you might ask me, “WHY DO YOU USE IT THEN?!”

Well, we’re living in this era that I can’t help it but to stay connected 24/7. I definitely cannot bind my online-time to only when I’m at home. There is just too much of on going stuff on the net and far too many reasons for me to be connected all the time!

For one, Twitter and Plurk are so “in” right now that I’m most commonly seen updating about myself through this micro-blogging sites.

Hey, even the President of the United States is on Twitter!

Everything seemed fine except when I took the wrong move to use GPRS to go online. That was the killer part on my moolah. Of course, I could hunt for free wifi spots and put up with the annoyingly patchy wifi connection. BUT! I’m in camp half the time, so free wifi is certainly out of the question.

So just the other day I asked around on Plurk if anyone had anything to recommend.

And I found this!

So, mobile broadband was what I needed a long time ago. At prices like $24.65 per month, this just seemed like the perfect one, doesn’t it?

Shortly after I saw that data plan, I was approached to write this advertorial. For a moment, I thought somebody must me cyber-stalking me on Plurk! How timely can it get?! Ha!

I came to know that this is actually the first broadband on mobile that is custom-made for youths. And trust me, being the biggest player in the market, Singtel unquestionably has the most reliable network.

And did I mention it’s being capped at 50GB? FIFTY GIGABYTES OF FREE DATA!!! I don’t think I’ll be able to top that!

So with the BroadBand on Mobile 1500 Youth Plan, I don’t have to worry about how painful it’ll be towards my wallet when I surf on my phone. I can actually do a lot more!

Okay, I’m heading out to SingTel shop to sign up now! If anyone needs any more information, do log on to www.singtel.com/youth
