HELLO. haha i just came out from the magic hat! :D
i disappeared so long that i even forgot my wordpress password! HAHAHA okay here’s an update after many many many weeks! (as requested by muimui – the only follower of my blog. =x)
im waiting for my apple which will be here only on monday! i shd have bought it on wednesday night la! ): i dragged for almost 3 days to make a decision of whether to get it engraved or not. but in the end i went ahead to buy my itouch online and get it engraved. haha okay here’s the pros and cons for engraving it.
pros: it’s personalised! :D so my itouch will one of a kind and i’ll feel better to have sth different from the crowd!
(but many said it’s a dumb decision to get it engraved because an engraved itouch would have a market value of $0. however, the market value is none of my business becos i wont intend to sell my itouch away! and why wont i sell it away – (a) because i think it’s hard to sell an electronics away? (b) even if i sell it away, how much shd i sell it? i will still lose out in the end (c) if i sell it away, which mp3 should i get now? as such, selling my itouch is quite an impossible move.)
Cons: i wont be able to get the complementary silicon casing, screen protector and travel adaptor that come with the itouch if i get one from apple authorised shop. so in other words, the engraving costs $19.90 (the silicon casing) + $9.90 (screen protector from apple for itouch) + $??? (the travel adaptor) = approx $30+. so engraving for more than $30 aint worth it!
however, the complementary silicon casing aint subjected to choice – meaning i cant choose the design, the colour and whatsoever. most probably i will be given a black casing which aint what i wanted! (i wanted to get a red casing for it..) thus, i will still fork out additional money to get a new casing.. as for the travel adaptor, i dont think ill need one since i will be always have at least a desktop or a laptop with me (i hope). even if i dont have one (eg. when im overseas..), i doubt ill use the itouch that frequently when im travelling!
hence, i bought my itouch online..
and i dont know everything will be done in CHINA =/ i tot the engraving will be done in Singapore! ): so i thought ill get my itouch on saturday.. until i tracked my “parcel” and realised it’s still in chinaaaaaaa! sighs.. nevermind, i hope my itouch will be fine – nth’s spoilt during assembly, nth’s spoilt during delivery. haha!
—-
one more month to finals! =/ better revise more diligently. i dint do well for all my mid terms (except for LSM1102 which is considered satisfactory. the others were all way below the average marks!)
okay time to go for a jog! (:
haha so much trouble. but if i were you.. i’ll go for the local deal which not only saves money but time. and besides if you’re going to engrave and then put silicon cover, kinda defeats the purpose. anyway its your decision to make. and it is already made. so stick by it. regarding your tests, don’t worry. biochemistry is ok one. you should have gotten prof swami by now. he is real good. you’ll enjoy it. all the best! goodbye for now. enjoy your jog
haha yea! but nvm lah, engraving looks cool too! haha i’ll just try to find a translucent protector for it! prof swami is really weird! he’ll just tok and tok and tok and tok and totally not lecturing according to his slides! (and the lecture notes are just picturesssssss) haha!
haha trust me that’s all you’ll ever need. his analogies are super good, helps you understand difficult concepts simply. and if you ask him questions, he’ll go all out to answer
