Sitting on the train. 5-hour journey from Singapore to Gemas. I was bored. Everyone seemed to be sleeping (resting with their eyes closed, at least) and I was like the only hyperactive kid here. I didn’t feel like sleeping. That’s probably because of the coffee that I’ve had in the morning. As a tech-savvy kid, the only thing I can do is, of course, playing with my phone.
I started by reading an e-book. Using an app called Aldiko Book Reader. (Pretty nice app. Do download it from Android market if you love reading). I read “The Time Machine”, a science fiction published in 1895. How ancient, LOL. Well, these are the free books from the store. I only download free stuff, usually. Frankly, I don’t normally read fictions in English. I’ve been so used to reading in Mandarin (sadly, my Chinese is de-proving nowadays). Nevertheless, this book is really interesting. I was intrigued by the discussion on the 4th dimension (time).
After reading for some time, I felt bored again. And you know, it’s tiring to read on a moving vehicle. So I stopped and started browsing others apps. I decided to play mahjong. To be honest, I’ve never played ‘real’ mahjong coz I feel I’m too lousy. I only know the most basic rules. I heard we need a number of ‘fan’ in order to win the game. However, I’ve no idea how to count ‘fan’. I did win sometimes (in the phone) by accident. But there were also times I thought I could win with my cards but it’s just never declared that I won. I guess it’s because I had not enough ‘fan’. Argh, I need a sifu!
Talking about games in Android, I’m finding them better and better. There are many more interesting (and free) games now (as compared to when I just bought the phone).
Oh then, back to my train journey. I was boooooooored. So I started taking pictures of myself! =P And then… editing pictures… There is this pretty cool (though simple) picture editing tool called PicSay. Here are some of my work done with this app (tried adding some items, adding some effects etc).
(ok you can see I was really really bored)
And then there’s also another nice app that allows taking pictures with awesome effects! It’s FxCamera. I took something really funny picture with the SymmetriCam effect:-
For the one at the left, imagine: it’s a face with 2 eyes very close together, a huge nose and a wide smiling mouth. What a ‘cute’ cartoon character ^_^
(ok I think it’s needless to repeat that I was very bored)
Some other effects with FxCamera:-
(ok… I don’t need to remind you I was bored I suppose)
So I was really bored on the train while I couldn’t get into sleep (I didn’t even feel like I want to sleep) as usual. And then… I started typing this blog entry on my phone. Hehe!
And WHAT? You’ve been reading this from the top?! Congratulations, I must say, for having completed reading one of the boring stuff ever… I guess you are as bored as I was… B-P
