Wish List (Part Deux)

For the fervent loyal readers of my humble blog (all 500,000 of you imaginary people), I'm sure my Wish List post I blogged last year must have left a rather deep impression, what with all my shamelessness and shocking material wants.

I'm glad to announce, that one year later, I've FINALLY attained most of the items in my wish list! HAPPY FACE! And while at it, got myself majorly broke-ass in the process. BIGSADFACE.

Following this logic, I think I should aim for more expensive and seemingly-unattainable material wants this year, so I may hopefully achieve those one year later. BENTLEY CAR THANKS!

So this was one of the things I clamoured for last year -- Canon S90.

And behold, what I got myself for an early birthday present today! *erm OMG major unsubtle hint! cough cough.*

Canon S95, successor of the S90, just released 2 weeks ago! AWESOME CAMERA TO THE MAX MAN.

And here's something I lusted for last year, the iMac.

I'm gonna order this tomorrow!!!

I'm taking advantage of the educational discount to get the MacBook Pro, which comes with a free iPod Touch and a printer after rebate. I actually held off on my purchase, in hopes that they'd give away the NEW iPod Touches after the refreshment of the iPod Touch series which was announced only a few days ago. But alas, the rebate only applies to the old iPods. SADDED TTM MAN! Oh well.

I sound like a major Apple Fanboy. Well, I just want to clarify that I'm totally not, okay. Or maybe I am, albeit a closet one. But MOSTLY not, cos I don't have a thing for iPhones. I'm waiting for the awesomeness that is Windows 7 Phone Series to be out! Soon!

Anyway, I decided to get a MacBook Pro instead of the iMac because it's a shame to buy an Apple product and not lug it around to show it off (unless you're this guy who actually brought his iMac desktop out around). I mean, no one's gonna visit my room, so there's no one to appreciate the beauty except me. With the MacBook Pro, I can carry it around and like, chill in Starbucks while strategically placing my laptop such that everyone who enters the store can see the holy-white Apple logo glowing right in their faces, and then I go on to pretend like I'm all creative and artsy-fartsy and too cool for this planet, while all I'm doing is actually surf blogs written by tweens.

If you're a Mac user, I have just perfectly described you in my previous sentence.

Hah! I'm so mean! But at the same time, it's so spot on right?! Walk into any Starbucks and you'll see it infested with hipsters posing with their chio Macs. Mac-users and Starbucks is akin to moths to a flame. It's one big giant gathering of poseur-ness.

Oh and I hate Mac-evangelists. I think I'll chronicle my experience with my MacBook with objectivity, and see if using Macs will really blow your shits, rectums and colons off like they claim. My previous experiences with Macs wasn't exactly enjoyable. I'm only getting one because it looks pretty.

So anywho, seeing that I've got most of the things I wanted, I don't really have much that I'm lusting over now. I intend to get new bedsheets from Ikea, and maybe a laptop sleeve (like these). Those are necessities. As for things I don't really need, I could really use a new watch. I'm still using the same watch, which has almost disintegrated. New shoes. Definitely a new bag, like the vintage English schoolboy kind. And a wardrobe update! Haven't bought any new clothes for a year already! :(

It'd be best if money can just rain down from the sky on me. Yes, that'd be best indeed.





(By the way, if you think this is a bragging post, well, YES IT IS DUH. Why would I spend all my fortune on these things, and then keep mum about it?! Siao one.)
