My Eyes Hurt from Using Macbook Air 13" 2014

popsicle toast — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 22:17:13 +0800

I have recently purchased a second hand Macbook Air 13" Early 2014 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 and mah eyez are killing me and I don't even have bad vision

I've run a search online (with great difficulty) only to find that there have been a lot of people who had experienced similar issues reading and using the interface only because the fonts are so thin and hard to read!

I'm a total n00b and am doing my best to describe my situation but I'm really hoping that a Mac God will ascend from his throne and help me configure my display settings so that I can use my Macbook for longer than 15 minutes each time (not even kidding here). The text and font and light grey on grey everything totally strains my eyes and I’ve never experienced this on any computer before.

I've attached a screenshot for a better understanding of what I'm experiencing and also included a link to an article with comments from other users (from year 2014) who went through the same ordeal.

Please please help. I am using this piece of crap for work 8 hours a day.

Additional info:
- Currently running on the latest OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6
- Resolution at 1440 x 900 (default)

Looking for Modern/Stylish Office Furniture

popsicle toast — Fri, 26 Dec 2014 21:28:53 +0800

Hey fellas,

Really need my fellow Kopitiamers help in providing some good recommendations for office furniture i.e. work stations + chairs.

We're opening up our new office very, very soon and are having some trouble finding office furniture with a modern/contemporary design and of decent quality. Can anyone recommend a company which does Customised or Ready-Made furniture (please include website add/contact no.) I've attached some images to help give you an idea of what kind of design I'm looking for.

p.s. No mention of Ikea, please

Thanks for your help!

why do i have weird cravings?

popsicle toast — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 23:54:01 +0800

i have these cravings.
extremely strong urges to eat a particular kind of food (bubblegum-flavoured ice cream, chili crabs, etc)
right now, i am resisting the urge to dial pizza hut and get them to deliver their spicy deli wings.
i can hardly think of anything else but chicken wings as for now.
nothing else. chicken wings flapping around in my mind.
that is all there is up there.
whats worse is that i dream of the food i crave for.
they come to me in my dreams.
it is pure torture.

and no, i am not preggers nor is it pms for that matter.
thank you very much.

has anyone else experienced this phenomenon?

all opinions are welcome.

thanks for stopping by!

Coldplay

popsicle toast — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:41:59 +0800

its a tough pick because they're all so bloody brilliant but mine would have to be parachutes.

Folk, New Age anyone?
