I Think I Might Be A Shopaholic.

Especially when it comes to gadgets, not so much clothes. Went on a shopping spree at Low Yat today with Boss. Our main purpose was to get a cooling pad, and me a new wireless+modem+router because the one I HAD was terminally ill. The wireless thingy was cacated and always went berserked starting from 9pm till next morning like it was haunted or something. And sometimes, I even had to call the internet line to make the adsl light stop blinking and connect! I have NO IDEA WHY but it just works. Reason for getting a cooling pad was because my lappie would heat up really badly after a while (can boil egg!) and even putting my old Samsung phone underneath it to tilt it up didn’t work.

Went to search around for my modem router first. Gor Gor asked me to look for Linksys’s WAG200G which the cheapest price was RM238, if not Dlink’s DSL-2640T which was cheaper. Now Boss’s knows what kind of a shopper I am. I am really really shy, my brother says so. I usually wait for people make eye contact with me and ask me what I want and dare not say ‘excuse me’ or whatever out loud to get their attention. Anyways, at the first shop, somehow each and everyone of the shop’s people didn’t take the initiative to ask me if I needed anything and I just stood there like a stooch. Sigh. I suck. Anyways, started to ask around for Dlink’s price and it was shocking!

Mostly every store I went to said the best price was RM230 or RM225, around there, but then two stores, gave me RM200! WTH! So friggin much difference! Boss even suggested maybe they stole it or something. But I still bought it at Rm199 in the end with a Mini Ver.2 Multi-slot Card Reader , total cost was Rm230. Sigh. Okay lar I guess.

I really like the card reader! Specs: High speed USB 2.0, accesses all different cards without any adapters (except for T-flash)! AND it looks really good! XD

After getting the two, went hunting for the cooling pad. Went to Sri Computer. There was this Malay hippie-yo! looking dude who was freakin’ stingy! Only reduced the price by 5 bucks! I was sure that he was ripping us off. Argh! Luckily Boss saw the one he wanted to buy at a lower price at another location of the shop which was much more secluded but still the same company. The skinny Malay guy gave more discount, not much lar but at least still 10 bucks! At least I don’t feel ripped off that much. I HATE THAT HIPPO! Grrrr!

My lappie on the cooling pad, ngam ngam ho! =)

Had lunch after buying all those stuff at Causeway Bay. I had Beef Brisket Noodles, French Toast and Cold Yin Yong. MY APPETITE HAS RETURNED! Oh my beloved food! I missed you so SO MUCH! I’ll start training to get my bottomless pit back again! There goes the weight I loss!

Then we hurriedly went to Sg. Wang to get our guitar stuff. I wanted to get picks. And guess who I saw there! The guy who used to work in Mid Valley’s Rhapsody! Another guy (who was very boyishly cute! LOL!) was telling me that if I did more strumming I should be getting a softer pick. But then I was like ‘But hor! Daniel wants me to use a hard pick! Why har?!?!?’ Then, ex-Rhapsody guy told me that maybe because Daniel (as in my hot guitar teacher, I seriously hope he won’t by any chance stumble upon this or I’d be dead! ) is a LEAD GUITARIST and wanted me to do more plucking or something. WTF! OMG! That’s soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo friggin cool man! Fuyoh! I’m am so going to practice harder, play properly and learn more from him this coming Monday! Must get all my money’s worth before I leave for HK! LEAD GUITARIST! OH MAN! XD

Gripless Fender cacated shaped pick which I lost hold of and let it fall into the guitar and had Daniel shake the guitar vigorously for more than a minute for it to fall out =P, Chipped pick, New picks! (Clockwise)

All my picks: 1st pick, given by the Indian guitar teacher from Amcorp Mall’s Mahogany, (according to lead guitarist) a cacated shaped pick I found inside my bro’s guitar case, teacher’s chipped guitar pick which I sorta HAVEN’T returned, yet, 2 new picks I bought today! (From left to right.)

My guitar that Mr. Guitar thinks sounds really really nice! Bwahahhahahahaa! Gor Gor, I’m so going to bring it over to HKU! Say sayonara to it! Muahahhahaha!

Hurriedly made a last stop to get my sleeve case because Boss’s mum was chasing him home worried that I’d rape him or something! LOL! Bwahahahhahahaha!

New clothes for my lappie!

When I got home, I felt really happy and satisfied! Hands all full with these stuff! I just get really high when I get new techy gadgets! Like the new 120Gb external hard disk with a really really nice sleek casing that I got for my birthday! Thanks guys!

Aiming to get:

• a new webcam
• (maybe) Ipod Nano (I WANT A WHITE ONE! How come now only got silver,black and yucky colours?!?!? Whatever happened to WHITE?!?!? Noooooooooo! I hate the 2nd generation ones. Ugh.)
• a 1 Gb DDR Ram for the desktop in the living room (it simply CANNOT SURVIVE on 1.25 Gb with Vista installed in it!)
• a 4 port USB hub

during August’s PC Fair before I leave for HKU. Thought of getting a PDA phone, but then maybe there’s those contract thingies in HK too! Free phone! Muahahhahahaha!

That’s all, for now.

P.S. Bugging bro to find me that white Nano on Ebay *prays hard*
