Just a couple of weeks after I bought my iTouch, Apple decides to come out with a better, cheaper version. Argh! I was so sore about it when I found out yesterday that Cy offered to buy me the new iTouch & “inherit” my old-yet-very-new one. Actually, he’s just secretly jealous that I have an iTouch, but is making it sound like he’s doing me a favour. Haha! But that’s okay, as long as he doesn’t change his mind about buying it.
Excuse my momentary jakun-ness, but I’m blogging from my iTouch! 
My love affair with the tiny pink iPod Nano is over. It belongs to Mama now. My MacBook has a new younger sibling!
Isn’t it so shmexy.
(I hope this is the last of my new “toys” for this year, because I need to put aside cash for shopping in Hong Kong already!)
Bought the exam voucher for the Sun Certified Web Component Developer for the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 certification (woah, what a mouthful). It’s been almost 4 years since I passed the Sun Certified Programmer for the Java Platform, Standard Edition 1.4 certification, so I’ll need to spend some real effort getting up to speed for this one. The plan is to start serious studying in the second week of November, then schedule the exam for end of January 2009, before the academic semester begins.
By the way, this is part of the “top secret” short-term career plan I mentioned before. 
Hmm, am I putting too much on my plate?
- Just splurged close to US$90 on a couple of DVDs I’ve wanted for months: 즐거운 인생 First Press Limited Edition DVD and 한성별곡 Director’s Cut DVD. Shucks. Where the hell is my self-restraint?! Jannah, you still want that iPhone / iPod Touch, do you?
- Speaking of which, iPhone 3G is landing in exactly 8 days! Oh gosh, if I end up getting one, please let there not be long queues.
- I really need to book a hotel room for the HK trip, soon.
- Why are IM clients on Windows so damn ugly???
- Going Turkish for team dinner tonight & Italian tomorrow with TKGians, woot!
- I swear, replying emails take up more energy than coding. X_x
- StreetDirectory.com has their maps back, yay!
Word has it that iPhone 3G will be launched in Singapore this month. Yippeeee~!
Not that I’d be rushing out to purchase one the day it’s released. If the costs aren’t justifiable, I’d be better off getting the iPod Touch instead. And I’m still not completely sold on the idea of using an all-in-one device. If I were on the road & the battery ran out, I’d have neither a phone nor entertainment. The horror!
- Am totally craaaaaving the cheese baked rice at Eighteen Chefs right now. Gosh, the TORTURE of PMS-induced food cravings!
- It’s been ages since I bought a damn good movie on DVD because it’s been ages since a damn good movie came out of Korea.
- Business law started out surprisingly interesting despite its dry nature. I think it has everything to do with my captivating seminar leader. He actually explains law terms in English!
- Wanted: a high-quality, roomy black tote bag to last me for years. Maybe I should just try to live without one until my Hong Kong shopping trip in November.
- Firefox 3 on Mac looks uncannily like Safari. O.o
- I now have a pet dog. He’s a basset hound and almost as big as me! Any name suggestions?
