Super Broke
I couldn’t believe I got myself the most expensive Christmas presents – ever!
I have been busy playing with my newly acquired toys and finding time to get used to them – my new lap top and also a new handphone.
As you are aware, my old R40 was stolen in August. While waiting for the PC fair, my brother was kind enough to loan me his Lenovo V100 3000 which is a very small and chic lappie! Initially I wasn’t very used to the 12-inch screen that I had to squint to read but now I am loving it! Unfortunately, it costs about RM4,000 and way off my budget.
I went to PC fair two weeks ago and acquired Lenovo Y410. If you ask me, why Lenovo? It’s because my brother is working in Lenovo and I get personal service if shit happens. I hope not – touch wood.
I chose Y410 because it’s such a beautiful lap top! It runs on 2G RAM Centrino Duo, T5450, 160G HDD and has Bluetooth, 5 types of card reader and webcam. Well, a friend commented why I would need a webcam. I don’t need it actually. In fact people find me more appealing and amusing when they don’t see my face.. so… anyway, before I deviate, PC fair gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse. It only costs me RM2,450 and comes along with a whole big bag of goodies and Microsoft wireless mouse. So people, if you want a new lappie, get it during PC fair.
Last Sunday, I got myself a new Sony Ericsson K770i after the old handphone died on me last weekend. The old one suddenly turned off by itself and could not be revived. Then, it switched on by itself. When I key in my password, it could not recognize. When I managed to switch it on, all my boss’ instructions via text messages were erased! Wah lao! Shini! (Japanese: Die!) I didn’t need anymore reason to get a new handphone.
Since I only use my handphone to make calls and sms, I didn’t think I would get such an expensive one. When I scouted around, this was the only Sony Ericsson that made a deep impression on me that I have to have one. I don’t know the specs but leave it to ML to decide. Since both of our phones died on the same day, we decided to buy together to get better discounts. We went to Low Yat and got this one at RM1,040.
For the past two days, I have been loading the phone with mp3s from my old CDs. The entire office are littered with Sean Kingston’s Beautiful Girl song that it sort of makes me sick! I am using mostly movies soundtrack as ringing tone and would stick to some oldies from the 60s. My cousin is complaining of my lack of taste and said, people might just know how old I am from listening to the ringing tones I chose. I suka lah!
I went to the Curve last night to change a pair of pants I bought for my sister and took the opportunity to test the Cybershot function. It’s a bit too small for my grip and I was a little clumsy with it. Will need some time to get used to this camera phone.
Went on last minute shopping for Christmas over the weekend. Kinda annoyed with the whole Christmas thingy. I do not intend to buy anything this year. Mana tau… someone had bought things for the rest of us that made us felt obligated. I should have just stick to my guns to give BIG WET kisses as Christmas presents! That would scare the shit out of my friends and stop inviting me to their Christmas’ parties! Yay! Hahaha!
Now you know why I am so damn broke. Merry Christmas, everybody!
