The big electronic monster

Today was the day to buy

The mango pudding!

Yeah... Had to buy a laptop! Never really liked laptops because I think their screens are very glaring. I think there is something very comforting about a desktop. It is big (I using the big backside kind la... No LCDs...), and it's big... I like to type on keyboard of the desktop because I can bang on it and no worry whether it is going to spoil my chip or whatever shits you have inside the laptop. But for this trip, I guess I need a laptop. Sure, I can get a desktop over at Australia. What would happen to it when I'm heading back to Singapore? Not economical to ship it back! So getting a cheap laptop would be a good idea since I don't need all the bells and whistles like 1GB RAM and whatnots. The specs of my Acer TravelMate 4152LMi:

- Intel Pentium M 740 processor (2MB L2 Cache, 1.73GHz, 533MHz FSb)
- 15.0" XGA TFT LCD (Yay! Not a big backside!)
- 128MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 w/TurboCache technology
- 60GB HDD (Wow! My lousy desktop had only 20GB! Yes, I know that it was pathetic...)
- DVD-Dual double layer (Support DVD+R Double Layer/DVD+RW)
- 512MB DDR2 (support dual channel)
- 802.11b/g wireless LAN

Right... I know almost nothing about what the above stuff do. Not even with an A- for Intro to Computing. What got me excited was the 6-in-1 card reader because I don't need to fret about transferring my pics from my storage cards. Yay! And my infra technology so I can finally transfer the pics from my mobile to a computer! And to show you how boring clubbing is (or how 3" boots are not meant for dancing the night away), I took these with my mobile's 1.3megapixel camera:

Red hot DBLO

Blue cool Phuture

So Acer was S$2238 with a promotional $49 MS Office. Very lazy to transfer things from my desktop ah! The very first things I moved over? The photos of course! I want things I am familiar with when I'm feeling homesick! Going alone sure has its cons.

Then mama also got me these:

Small one

Big one

Which came in:

Japan wan leh!

They are laundry bags! For you to separate your delicates from other clothes when you throw them all into the washing machine. I have no idea how to do my laundry. Like my mama said, I only know how to buy and wear clothes. I hate washing and hanging clothes! The worst of all is to fold and iron them! I thought of an ingenious idea about how to iron my clothes. Maybe I'll blog about it on the other blog someday. The bigger bag (S$3.50) can be used for knits or woollen materials while the smaller bag (S$2.80) will be suitable for lingerie. Mama thought of everything! Maybe I should just send them to the laundry and save her the trouble? I think if I do my own washing, the clothes all have to be thrown away pretty fast. But I cannot be a spoilt brat! I must learn to wash and iron (fold no need la... Just throw the whole pile in my room) my clothes!

Another important purchase is this:

I like red and black!

The thick, woollen jacket! Actually daddy no need to worry. I have lots of woollen stuff because I like to wear them in my air-con room and pretend that it's winter. And today, he asked me whether I need more! This would be quite enough and it's a real steal at S$55 from Polo Ralph. It actually printed "PJC" (as in Polo Jeans & Co.) on the top right corner of the jacket. Pioneer JC sia... Girls can wear pants there right? Not bad, not bad.

Actually I'm wondering what else people wear for winters in Australia other than jeans. It would be so boring to only wear jeans and give up my Abercrombie minis.

Tell me what to wear!

I have a very sharp pain in my lower back.

Tell me what is wrong?!
