>>> Beautiful Sunday! <<<

Another fabulous day, sunny and warm! Spend the late morning at an Apple workshop for iTunes where the chap gave us lessons on using iPhoto, iMovie and a bit of Garageband. There was more people this time. Again, the workshop was very informative and I'm luving the Mac even more now!

Met up with the family and we headed to Ikea, where we had lunch and then bought the boys an Expedit bookcase (4x2) for their room. Getting fedup of seeing their toys on the floor so now they have no excuse not to clear up (before it used to be on top of the wardrobe which is pretty high).

Got home and I eagerly tried the iMovie with my camcorder. Unfortunately, my particular Macbook doesn't come with a firewire so thereby I wasn't able to upload my movies (my camcorder uses the miniDV and a check on net showed that it wasn't possible to use it with a USB port as the iMovie won't pick up the camcorder). So in other words, it's back to the PC to do convert my movies!!! Oh well, I'm sure I'll find a way albeit a long one! Anyway, did manage to upload some movies on my Nikon compact camera and so had a play with them. Oh gosh, I had so much fun creating a movie, adding transition, title and music! It was easy once you got the hang of it! No doubt, will try to make a movies with all the videos that I had taken of my trip in Singapore! Looks like I'll be using my compact camera more often to capture videos now. I guess I can kiss goodbye to my old fashioned camcorder! Pity though as it had a fab zoom lens! TTFN!

>>> Workshop! <<<

Attended an Apple workshop today at the Bullring this morning. It was on iTunes & iPod. I happened to be only one but it was great. Picked up a few tips on using iTunes and even managed to ask about other questions too. Got another class this Sunday on iLife so that will be interesting!

Coping rather well with routines although have to say it has certainly tire me out a wee bit by mid-week. Hoping I'll be back in form and creating as my crafting mojo has certainly left me. TTFN!

>>> My New Baby! <<<

Went down to Sim Lim Square on Thursday with my brother and his friend. Now that's the place to get electrical products if you ever want to get one! My brother wanted to get a new casing for his PC (one of those who builds his own PC). I was looking for a Apple laptop. Anyway, walked into this Apple authorised retail store and began to make enquiries and walked out with this! My new baby!

The exquisite alumimium unibody MacBook!
I decided to upgrade the Memory to 4GB DDR3 RAM.

It looks so sleek and beautiful. I'm totally in luv with this babe. It totally suits my needs and I have been looking to switch to Apple for a while. It was a toss between getting a Sony VIAO or a MacBook and I'm afraid the latter won. I guess I had enough of PC.

Best of all, you can dual boot between a Mac OS and a Windows OS using boot camp. So yesterday, my bro and I installed Win XP and it worked perfectly. That means I can now install software for Windows on this part of the drive. MS Office comes to mind. Talk about having the best of both worlds on a laptop. It's not to difficult to use the Mac, it's different but just need time getting used to it. So glad to kiss goodbye to IE browser... that's a rite pain to use and constantly crashes on me! So from now onwards, welcome to the world of Mac! TTFN!
