Something new is always cool!

Last Sunday on 30 June 2013, something happened... My old acer laptop which has served me for more than 6 years has stopped working normally. With little notice, the display screen dimmed and flickered for a few seconds before it went blank. I anticipated this day coming but did not think that it will be that soon. For a moment, I thought that I probably won't have a new laptop anytime soon. But then, I checked my savings in POSB and realize that I can afford a $1500+- laptop. And so I went to Challenger store in Tampines One to choose a new laptop that will probably serve me for next 5 years and beyond. After I told the staff there that my budget is $1500, I was recommended a Lenovo Z400 touchscreen Laptop which costs $1399 and extra $158 for 2 more years of warranty which adds up to a total of 4 years warranty for me. It is a little bit bulky but it is definitely value for money. However, the battery life which the staff claim is around 5 hours seems to be lesser for my laptop with not many programs running. Oh well, as long as my laptop does not break down soon, it should not be a problem. As for my old laptop, the garang guni man has helped me dismount the HDD in it and pass it to me for data recovery purpose in the near future. It is sold for $10 though for the casing and the other parts. Well, it is now officially hello to my new laptop and goodbye to my old laptop starting yesterday!

Recently, I bid for hello kitty singing bone at ebay. After some bidding I managed to get one at $28 which is a little bit overpriced. Anyway, I am to collect it tml and now I am sourcing for another one at $26 or less which I believe is the ideal price. Besides that, I am helping my colleague bidding for one at around $15 which I believe is hard to get but after some time should be possible. As to why I want 2 kitties, I want to keep one wrapped in box with plastic while I unwrapped the other one for display. Maybe I can sell the unwrapped one for a higher price in future since it is a limited edition kitty. Haha, we shall see...
