New Lappy! Yes, Finally!

Finally decided to go get a lappy... saw some promo on the newspaper & decided, "today is the day!"

So I ventured out with sheila to her fav computer store at Suntec.

Before my wallet gets lighter, we decided to have a sumptous meal @ Kenny Rogers! Wow... these day they have service charge leh! 10+7%.... faint! Actually bill add $5 for +++ tsk tsk... & they dun serve water from the tap anymore! Only bottled water... mayb I should test them & tell them to get a cup & fill it with Tap water! Argh!

Anyway, got the lappy... not the glam glam sleek, thin, small & light model... but rather a value for money workhorse for my work... these days it's watching this...

So cant be too small else the money I make not enough to go for lasik lor...=P

Got a Acer E-Machine D725

Basic specs:

-Intel Pentium T4300 2.1GHz

-3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard disk

-14" (16:9)

-DVD rewrite

-5 in 1 card reader

-Battery life abt 3+ hrs

-Weight abt 2.3kg

-Include MS Office (3 licensing), Windows Vista, Anti virus 1 yr, earphone w mic (for iphone), cooling pad, gel sleeve for lappy.

Damage cost: $863 (including GST etc)

I thought it was a decent deal... below my budget... including selling off my current lappy... it's $200 lesser, so $663... still rather decent... I was prepared to throw in $1200... =I

Happy with the buy! I even took a cab to rush home! wuahahh! Pple who know me will know that I dont really take cab unless no choice!

Ok, I confess, I rushed home not to Tear open the package & put my fingerprints on it k! I rushed home cos I was gona be late for my training session with Ellen!

------------------Jogging-------------

Started at abt 9pm... i transformed into Geeky Soya & sat down to do the unpacking & yes! Tearing open the packages!!! woooohooooo!

Cant remb the last time I did that, cos the last most expensive thingy I bot for myself was a camera $400.... yes, that was the most expensive to date & that was like 1.5yrs ago!

So, I did all the restoration (already did backup) on the new lappy at the same time I did the reformating of my old lappy.

Btw, my old lappy is called Jude & my lappy is WangWang 旺旺 (as in 旺in财!)

I finally finished at 2am & set both the lappies to do the defragmentation to better optimise the performance & speed… Handing over Jude to Ariel(Sis-in-law) latest by Tues, but I wanna make sure things are ok! Batteries fully charged also & I left her the photo editing programmes so she can use for her FB updating etc.

Happy with myself…. But I m feeling abit lost…. My 感情 with Jude is over after 7+ years… yes yes… I know the old 1 dun go, new 1 dun come… but… but….Oh Jude…

For 7+years, Jude stood by me, endured the loneliness & shared my laughters with me... Jude grew with me in my knowledge as I discover my other best friend, Google dot com … helped me with my work & enhanced my personal life… how can I just abandon him like this?!!! Oh Jude…. Forgive me! The least that I can do for you now is to offer u to some1 who can look after u as well as I did for the beautiful times we’ve spent together!.... Jude, you will be love….

Now, WangWang… u are under probation… do what u have been called upon to do… serve ur highness, Moi, well! U have big shoes to fill yes… but u are not called a E-Machine for nothing… make ur value worth k! Let’s 旺旺together!

I took a last look at Jude & place him on Brother’s bed… I realised that I have really taken very good care of him… he still looks as good the first day I met him…. & as they said, the rest is history!
