Of Gadgets Sunday & A Great Blue(s) Monday
Despite falling asleep around 2.30 in the morning, I was already awake by 6a.m. yesterday. How frustrating it was when I couldn’t go back to sleep on a Sunday. I decided to read a self improvement book, The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy. I’ve been looking for this book for years since an online friend suggested this book to me and only got hold of it about a month ago. After a few excerpts, it changed my view on things and it helped me to rebound from whatever it was that pulling me down last week. A fresh view on life, I felt like a person who went to see a Plano cosmetic dentist and had her teeth makeover.
Mom will be going on holiday to my aunt’s place in KL this Saturday, so she wanted to get herself a small, light netbook since her Sony Vaio laptop is too heavy to lug around. Talk about Mafia Wars addiction! Yep, that is why she wants a netbook. To play Mafia Wars LOL! Anyhow, being a person with a high interest over gadgets as I am, a certain someone convinced me that a high end mobile phone is more suitable for me than a netbook, I tried to share this view with my Mom. Once we browsed through the upper floor of Karamunsing Complex, we thought of checking out TecAsia at the ground floor. But alas, on our way downstairs, we passed by the PDA shop and I dragged Mom to check out the line ups there. The salesgirl showed us the following two phones:
HTC Touch Diamond 2
HTC Touch Pro 2
The salesgirl insisted that the Mafia Wars could be played on these babies. So she and her colleague kept on trying and asked us to wait. About 2 hours later, they gave up and asked us to leave our numbers so that they can call once they ensure that it really can be done. Yes, we waited that long, Mom really wanted to get the HTC Touch Pro 2 since it is more convenient than carrying a netbook everywhere she goes. So off we went to 1Borneo to check out the PDA Expert shop there after sending off my sis to her campus.
While Mom was checking out the HTC Touch Pro 2, I browsed through the shop and got the salesman to let me test the following phone:
HTC Touch HD
I like the big screen size, 3.8-inch TFT-LCD flat touch-sensitive screen with 480 x 800 WVGA resolution and it’s less bulky than the HTC Touch Pro 2 since it is has no physical keypads. Oh, I’ve been wanting to get a HTC phone, with the Windows Mobile operating system for so long! That is why I know where exactly is this shop in 1B even though I can get lost in that mall! LOL! But it’s Mom who wanted to get a netbook but was thinking of opting for the HTC Touch Pro 2 instead. After about an hour there, we know for sure that no mobile phones can carry the load of games such as Mafia Wars. Well, Mom’s Nokia E75 could actually, but only for the new Facebook account. Not the previous one opened before the FB upgrade though. In the end, Mom got herself …..

Lenovo Ideapad S-10
Been looking for a Lenovo netbook in Karamunsing, but to no avail. So a visit to 1Borneo was not a lost cause. But hey, that’s not the only thing we went home with …

I succumbed to the call of HTC Touch HD!
So you may read a review on these two gadgets sometime soon! 
There goes my will of not getting anymore gadgets this year and my savings.. *sigh* But at least, this was not added into my mountains of credit cards debts! Got Mom to swipe hers instead since I left mine at home (now what’s the use of this action? LOL) and will pay her with cash later. There’s a new HTC Touch HD 2 announced, but the pricing is seriously way over my budget. To those who read my status in FB yesterday, yes, I did not get the HTC Touch Pro 2, wanted too but for RM3,199? No, thank you, at least not yet hehe. This one busted my budget actually, but at least this helped to boost up my mood too. Talk about being a gadgets shopaholic huh? Anyway, on top of that, tis’ The Blues’ Monday .. Chelsea is now 5 points clear ahead when they won 1-0 over Manchester United this morning!
p.s:
My deepest, sincere apology to a dear friend for hurting her the way I did…. no words, no actions can make things right again, but I just want you to know that I really am sorry for everything … if you ever come across this blog again ….
