Garden of Eden

I remember back into the days where I could successfully resist the clutches of iPod for the sake of saving some cash to be better spent on stuff which were more beneficial. Despite the fact that I’m only going to study, there recently has been some unsavoury craving for new gadgets and stuff. Though many might not object their mom (or dad) being an advocate to the temptress devil, more often than not I’d find myself restraining myself to be appropriately careful and keep my self consciousness in check. I don’t usually spend so much which is why this time I’m concerned that I may totally overspend because of my berlambak-lambak wishlist.

Just that day mom casually asked me if I needed camera, and if that’s the case she would redeem one CANON using her points plus RM499. And then me being the curious gerbil went online to scout the market price of that model, which turns out to be about RM650. Might I also mention Sony’s newest catalogue conveniently landed on my lap a couple of days ago as well, so the T-77 totally caught my eye, albeit carrying a hefty price tag of close to RM1300 (can vomit blood lah!). I feel guilty for not sufficiently appreciating the former offer, and here I am drooling over some uber cool looking device. But will I ever use it much? Who knows but maybe I’d so totally turn to being a camho in the future.

On a side note, if anyone recalled hearing about T-9 and T-10 of Sony’s series, I think they are not in production anymore. That digital cam was one of those things that I forgo pursuing and said ‘I could always get it later and cheaper too’ but obviously its staying a forgotten dream for good. What to do because I didn’t realise the marketing strategy for cameras were so different than mobile phones. While it provides a supply of fresh goodies for consumers to enjoy, I can’t deny that it’s an absolutely cheap tactic to coerce buyers into always getting the higher end ones.

Now I don’t know if I’m the only one who thinks so, but now I feel that it’s not too bad to carry 2 mobile phones at a time (gasp!). What have ed become, I wonder. Blame it on the selection choices L. The phone I’m eyeing doesn’t support 3g and isn’t smart phone based. The you’d be wondering, are these features really that necessary at all? In fact I’ve yet to send away ANY picture mms-es by the way, so you can tell yah? Hah. Yet sometimes the slightest possibility of having a word processor and the task scheduler on the run would prove beneficial. Let’s just say, (pretending) to write that report or laying out the plans that needs accomplishment the next day helps the soul to feel falsely secure.

I’m so in need for a total crash course for Aussie survival. For starters, their internet is pretty bloody freaking expensive. Honestly, I can use up that 6 gb/month bandwidth lor. All it takes is just a few major downloads, not hard to achieve. No wonder kit said there is nothing else to do besides going to the gym, like wtf. Then I’d think about getting stuck with 50% taken halves and the boys whom are I-think-I’m-better-and-deserve-her types.... WTF LA NO! So much for my ideal walks at sunrise with dew drops. Poof.

Hope you’re feeling better now. Sorry it hurt, but it gets progressively way better ._.’’...

Random rant – of the sliders, touch screen and smart hype.

WHAT’S wrong with the world today!?

And at 3.30 pm today.
