the download file was abt 8mb and it took 1 or 2 mins to install. i realise the functions are vastly different from firefox.. firefox like simpler to use. or is it cos i'm used to it le? haha dunno. but one thing is that the pages load faster than firefox. dunno whether is the net at that time fast or cos the browser loads faster.
but it takes up more resources. open 2 tabs nia take up 130+K resources according to task manager. firefox open 1 dozen tabs den take up that amt of resources.
here's how it looks like..
the page loading bar is acutally the address bar. when loading, the address bar will have a blue highlight moving from left to right showing the load progress. i'll say its quite nice la. but looks alot like the itunes menu.
also, when i posted the pic above, very leh chey. must drag down. in firefox, i just cut and paste it where ever i want. still remains to be seen whether this browser will stay in my com anot. i tried opera b4. but din really like it and din have a need for it either. so i got rid of it.
was reading up on contact lens as i plan to get a pair to try out. what's it like not to have to wear specs for 1 mth. been wearing specs since i was 5. abt 14 years le. quite envious of those who have 20/20 eyesight. so good. no need to spend money on specs and to have to endure the inconvience. ie when its dirty or falls off.
there are 4 spec shops in CompassPoint. the prices all quite high actually. 1 shop wanted to sell me 6+1(free) sets of contacts for $180. if 1 set by itself is $45!! that's for the 1 mth disposable one. daily disposable is $120!! cos my degree differs for both eyes. so need 2 boxes (30 pieces x2) which cost $60 each. siao ar. so expensive!! lidat per pair is wad? $4? nuts...
and to add on to it, both my eyes got astigmatism. means that if i get contacts, my lens have to get the more ex one. sian. i thought could get one pair for $18 (wad my sister said) + maybe $10 more for the solution and casing and try for 1 mth. now turns out the cheapest is $25.7 (the 6+1 offer mentioned above).
sian. wad for i get 7 pairs of contacts when i only wanna try? no point right?
heh. or i can save up all my pennies / coins and go for Lasik. did some checking up. turns out there are quite many medical centres and hospitals offering lasik. i think by far the cheapest is the National Eye Centre. even then, the cost is abt $1320 PER EYE. multiply by 2 and add $140 for pre-precedure consultation and $40 (x5) per follow up consultation and you get...
$2980!! where to get the money sia? work also need to work for along time.. that's assuming i dun spend a single cent of my salary. imagine this..
$5 per hour for 8 hrs per day with a 5 day work week. 1 mth is abt $800. so at least $4 mths den can get abt $3K+.
or i could save up my army pay for the 2 yrs that i'm in army and get it done after i come out. cos $350 (recruit) x 24 mths = $8160. $3K go to eyes, left abt $5.16K can buy a new com. :) not very likely. sure got lots of things come in and conplicate matters one..
heh. i might strike 4D (though i din buy) in the future. or i buy big sweep kena the 1st prize! haha.. or i pick up a $1000 note lying on the roadside? who knows man? infinite possibilities...
going abit nuts already. the holidays stretching too long le. and i still haven prepared for mid-years yet!!
