After several trying on the demo of Apple’s products, our desire of getting a Macbook Pro or iMac is back again. Could be because of the frequent interaction and the grass is always greener on the other side.

Fortunately, the logical side comes back. By getting an Apple computer (exclude Mac Mini), we can actually get two laptops from Acer or Dell or Compaq. Most importantly, we realize that it’s just a short-term desire and is a “want” instead of a “need”. We can live without it.

Lesson of the year: differentiate want and need. Although it’s not easy at the first time, but it’ll make life more beautiful and not keep on chasing money so we can get the “want” in our life.

Can’t understand why. I’ve asked Google for solution, tried but can’t work. There goes my hard work until the wee hour last night. I should just go sleep earlier and do it today. Sigh. Gotta pick myself up from this denial stage to acceptance stage. I better start working on it all over again than wasting more time trying to recover the file.

Before that, let me bang my head to the wall and cry out loud first.

I bought the webcam during the one week trip to KL on August, at LowYat Plaza the IT paradise in Bukit Bintang. So many choices to go for, from branded webcam like Microsoft to made-in-China brand. Live demo was available and staffs were pretty helpful.

Unlike the IT shop in Medan, especially in shopping complex, always hire young women who knows nothing about computer stuffs and only know how to keep an eye on the shop. I’m not asking the shop owner to hire a geeky worker, but someone who has some knowledge about IT and computer will do.

Anyway, the webcam was bought at RM39.90, slightly cheaper than the lousy Genius Eye 110 which I bought last year at IDR.165.000 (around RM60). It has LED lights that can be adjusted and built-in microphone but I haven’t figure out how to make it works.

See above picture, the quality of this webcam is so much better than the lousy Genius Eye 110. LED light was turn on and no photoshop effect is used in the picture.

The webcam also have special effect such as windy, ripple, blablabla and frames. It’s me and my brother in the picture.

There is this one effect called monitor, with 9 frames. Each frame will be updated in few seconds. I have to change pose real fast so that I can have 9 different poses. I also need to be fast enough to click the capture button after the 9th frame and before it goes back to the 1st frame. Pfiuh.

Bottom line, this has to be one of the best buying I ever made this year.

It’s getting worse this week. I have to keep my eyes on the network icon and once it shows the sign of having a connection, I gotta be hurry and use the time wisely. Cause it could just disconnect 5 minutes later or so, when I’m in the middle of the work. Sigh.

A piece of advice, if you are in Malaysia, just stick with Streamyx or Celcom broadband or Maxis or others but stay away from P1! You’ll save your life by doing so.

Update 8th May:
Connection seems to be back to the pretty stable stage after boyfriend moves it 30cm from the original location. -__-” Hope it will stay like this for a longer time.

Finally we found this 20″ Acer LCD at RM399. Pretty good deal. There goes the neck-pain and eyes problem that I had with the 14.1″ laptop. Also bought a small size keyboard to replace the old one at RM30+. Save space on the table but haven’t really get use to it.

Next, boyfriend found the love of his life – Nokia E71 at RM1350. The GPS feature is the one that caught his attention along with the sleek shape and others. He’s been talking about it for a while but I thought it was ugly and looked like a calculator. Bleh.

In the end, I surrender to it and it actually doesn’t look that ugly. Quite elegant in fact and seems worthy as GPS alone is sold at RM800 and above. The cheapest that I saw was $89.99 (read: around RM330), refurbished GPS in sale section at Buy.com site. But I can’t find if they have international shipping.

We thought of buying my dream phone, LG ice cream pink color, at the same time. But the whole mobile phone’s shops in Digital Mall ran out of stock already. Left the white and light blue one. Since I insisted to have the pink LG ice cream, we headed off to a shopping complex near our place. Guess what, they also ran out of stock, left only white and light blue. wtf. Seems that pink LG ice cream is very much in demand eh? In the end, we ordered one at RM799 and should get it by tonight. Yeehaa!!

Now off to cook dinner first!
