Bored

its been 3 and 1/2 weeks since i broke my wrist and i think its recovering quite nicely. can type with 2 hands now and i can move my left thumb.but still cannot flex it backwards or too much to the side.

i think i've been infected with the BBB (buy buy buy) bug. too much free time and start to think of wad i can buy if i save some money. haha..


been fantasizing abt this camera on and off since it was launched last yr in jan. my ultimate dream!! haha. cost quite a bomb back then but with the current exchange rates of the YEN, the price for the basic kit has fallen below the sub $1k range. so i think its quite affordable if i can save $200 for 5 or 6 mths.


so very nearly bought this on wed. the guy wasn't very honest upfront and kept changing his pricing and package rates. obviously wanted me to get his package price of $335. siao. screen protector, casing memry card all can get quite cheaply from Ebay. as for games, no need to say la. wad attracted me to the DS Lite was the game play and how the player interacts with the game through the interface of the DS Lite. its very hands on with the stylus instead of just button mashing with the PSP. still keeping 1 eye out though its not likely i'll get it.



the Playstation 3, every boy's dream console. haha.. its been my childhood dream to own something like this and then can sit in front of the TV and play games just like how i used to do it at my friend's house. the primary game i'ld like to play is Gran Tourismo 5. touted as the ultimate driving game. haha. get a steering wheel/pedal set and it would complete the dream. the start-up costs are very high. a console with 1 controller costs ard $576. additional controller costs $70. original games cost ard $50-$80. steering wheel/pedals cost ard $150. it will be like $200+ short of $1k.


the dell XPS 16 laptop. Core2duo processor with DDR 3 ram and a 512 MB HD ATI graphic card. the version i want costs $2.3k cos of all the upgrades like a faster processor, larger cache, tv tuner card. plus its a 16" laptop. watch movies or do work on it would be like using a desktop. the design is very nice also with a backlit keyboard and track pad. i'll need a laptop next yr when i go poly and i hve no doubt that by that time the quadcore processors would be out and this laptop though near the top range now would be slightly old. plus the warranty would run out by then. i'm just waiting to see when my current P4 desktop would conk out. that would give me an excuse to get a new computer.
