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!)
- 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!
The IT Project Management course I’m taking up next semester is actually conducted by International Institute for Learning, in partnership with the university. What’s interesting is, I can opt to be in virtual tutorial group where the training is in the form of live, interactive online sessions. Which means I’d have one less commute to campus every week, saving me some time & energy.
I found out I could reserve an iPhone 3G through SingTel, so I went ahead & did it. Most likely, I will forgo the iPod Touch & opt for the all-in-one iPhone instead. But SingTel will give me a week to decide if I still want the iPhone once it reaches our shores, so we’ll see then. No more shopping for me in the next few months. No more IKEA especially. Everytime I step into that store, there’s always something I want to buy.
Last bit of randomness: YB’s convocation ceremony is in a week, and I’m already excited to attend it.
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?
