iPhone 3G will be coming to Singapore! According to the website it’s “coming soon”, but who knows how soon is soon, eh? This makes me torn between the iPhone & the iPod Touch. All-in-one devices usually don’t appeal to me, but the idea of a phone inside an iPod (or an iPod inside a phone, depending on how you look at it) is too irresistable. SingTel, please hurry up and bring iPhone in to Singapore so I can decide which one to buy. Thanks hor.
I pre-ordered a copy of FT Island’s Japanese album a week before the release date, but YesAsia pushed forward the shipping date to June 19th! Grrrr, what is this? And since I have The Nuts’ 3rd album in the same shipment, BOTH my CDs are being held up right now. Boohoo. It’ll be end of June by the time they reach me.
Being the lazy shopper that I am, I even buy all my books online nowadays. Ordered a couple from Sitepoint, and they’re on the way right now all the way from Connecticut! Thanks to coupons & free shipping, you can actually get a better deal purchasing directly compared to buying from local bookstores that import the same books. Yeah, I’ve become a very savvy online shopper over the last few years, as you can tell.
Dear iPhone, please land in Singapore like, NOW can?
Ah, I love this song. I hardly ever listen to English songs, but this one is on the (absolutely fantastic) soundtrack of a K-drama I watched recently. I don’t even know who Winterplay is, or where they’re from!
Who Are You – Winterplay
(Click on the ‘Play’ button to hear the song.)
The concert venue (Sunway Lagoon Amphitheatre) looks awesomely cosy from the pictures I’ve seen. Probably not the best place in Malaysia for a live rock concert, but since my seating area doesn’t seem as far from the stage as I’d imagined, I’m happy!
Oh my, I’m actually going to see my favourite band LIVE with my own eyes this weekend! *screams like a fangirl*
Go to a Korean concert along with some good company, like I did early this year. If I’m lucky, the concert would held here in Singapore. And if I’m really lucky, it’d be one of SG Wannabe’s or FT Island’s concerts. (Yeah, right! You wish, Jannah.)
Participate in more fansubbing of Korean dramas. I had only one project (Taereung National Village) this year, and it was totally worth doing.
Meet more online friends in real life.And meet my already-met-offline online friends again. (DONE!)
Go on a short overseas trip by myself. I don’t know yet when or where, but obviously it should somewhere safe enough for lone travel. Preferably a place where I have friends staying.
Get a credit card. (DONE!) Actually, I’m rather averse to making purchases on credit. One of the rules I’d set for myself in terms of personal finance is to spend only when I can afford it, so I almost always pay in cash. Even my laptop, the most expensive single item I have ever bought, was paid in full. So why a credit card? I think this question would take an entire post to discuss, so I’ll leave it for another day.
Do an overseas qurban during Eid. I’ve wanted to do this for the past two years, but I didn’t plan ahead, so when the time came I never had the money set aside for it. This year will be different.
Get a scuba diving license, if I can get someone to do it with me. I need a diving partner; someone who would go on diving trips with me.
Buy Mama a MacBook. Okay, to be honest, I want a Macintosh machine myself, to replace my dying home PC. Since I already have a laptop, my mum would be using it most of the time, so let’s take it as me buying it for her. Haha.
Open a third bank account as a “secret” cum rainy day fund. (DONE!) You know, just in case something happens to me or my family & we need the money. The account shan’t be tied to an ATM card, so the money would be difficult to withdraw.
Start picking up basic Japanese. I’d like to learn some conversational phrases to get me started, then go on to learning the characters. Which I suspect would not be easy at all. >.<
I used to daydream of moving out into my own apartment one day, just to be independent & have my own space, after living with a big family for most my life. But after my lone overseas trip, I (disappointedly) realised that I would really hate living alone. Before that, I never thought about how horribly lonely it could get, being by yourself in an enclosed space. I’d start talking to myself before I even realised it. Tsk. There goes my plan of getting my own place. Hmm, but if I could get someone to move in with me…who knows? Or I could get an apartment right by my parents’. Haha!
I’m getting very fond of Japanese & Korean rock music. Slow rock, punk rock, pop rock, piano rock, alternative rock, hard rock… I’m into all types of rock nowadays. And starting to open my ears to Korean hip hop as well. (I used to think Korean rap & hip hop was crap. A lot of it still is.) I still listen to a fair share of pop & R&B, but yeah, rock is my current favourite. I have about six Korean albums on my YesAsia wishlist right now, and I’m trying to decide which to put into my shopping cart. It’s so dang hard! Don’t even ask about the Japanese albums. They’re much more expensive, so I can only dream for now.
Just submitted the online course registration for next semester. I decided to go ahead and pick Marketing Mix Management, so I’ll likely have class on Friday nights. So long, Friday girls’ nights out. We’ll have to reschedule to another day or something.
Looking through the curriculum plan, I realised that I’ll be done with the compulsory IT modules next semester. After which I’ll be free to take up any IT electives for the remaining two years. I love exemptions! Hee.
