Wish List

Not world peace...

iPOD
This is the "I-age". Apple has amazingly, created a brand name that I think is extremely powerful. The uber-futuristic white of their Macs and iBooks, top with the iPOD -- this is THE thing to have. When I was in NY, i noticed iPODs everywhere I go. In the subway, in almost every compartment, someone was using either and iPOD or the mini. I distinctly remembered the advertisement. Those black figures set against a neon color background. The whites of the iPOD earphones moving in sync. This, was the ad which I believed, really made Jet
famous here. This is the i-age. Even OSIM has an "i-Desire" now (too bad, they lack the cool factor, but than, those massage chairs are not to appeal to young dancing people).

An iPOD is useful for long trips too. When I travelled to Perhentian, i actually brought my 6 yr old discman along, with 3 CDs... if only ihad an iPOD...

A new desktop PC -- LCD, CD-RW, wonderful speakers, huge HD, unlimited ADSL
(i'm not asking for much, really..)
After using my GAteway Solo for 5 years, i believe its almost time for its retirement. Its still in good working condition, although it looks sorry. The peripherals are also almost gone. Just like when someone ages, its your peripherals which usually goes first. Your hearing is diminished, your sight, maybe your taste, your senses are dulled. But your heart may still work fine, your internals are ok... just like my Solo. Used with an external keyboard, probably need an external screen soon... its 'core' is still going ok.

Samsung E530
Its a pretty phone. It has a camera. I want a camera phone! Although i have no complains about my current phone.

Camera
A new digital camera! Have yet to decide on which one i should be wishing for.


External Hard disk
Actually, this should be the 1st on the list, since its the most feasible one. Should get an external HD to back up my stuff just in case Solo gives up.

Yes, we live in a material world. Gone are the days when girls want chocolates and flowers. ST came up with an article on what girls wantmost today and its mostly tech stuff.

First, I will need a job....
