Birthday Presents to Myself

*grin*

Spent over 200 bucks on myself today. Pay day lah... And just saw brother's latest toy - the PSP.

Was very tempted to buy a PDA but managed to curb myself.

However, fell to a $60 Braun hair curler and $99 MP3 player. Also bought a $40 cross-stitch sampler. Not Precious Moment this time. Didn't put Precious Moment in my birthday wish list this year and so no more additions to my collection. Got one with small samplers. Hoping to be able to do something for my kids instead of my normal bookmarks. Hopefully, a cross-stitched key chain would be more practical. And more meaningful.

Stupid Robin lah. Didn't want to go home one. But he broke my momentum to mark papers and I went shopping instead. Therefore, ended up buying so many things. Actually, can still stay at PS till the movie showed, but bought a toaster oven to reach the $200 mark to get the $10 shopping voucher. So no choice. Got to go home with the toaster oven first.

Reached home and fell asleep. Very tired this week. Must remember to write about my visit to Hark Music. And the hilarious story of a very-seh jTan.

Luckily, woke up at 10.30pm, half an hour before the show time. Just enough time to quickly change and grab a cab to PS.

Brought my hair curler along and tried to curl my hair while in the cab. Wondered if anybody had tried to do such a thing before. But didn't know how to switch it on till I reached PS. So too bad. Didn't get to use it after all. Only managed to use it to curl my hair without any heat being applied.

Sigh... Brokeback Mountain turned out really boring. Would have been ok if it wasn't a midnight show perhaps. A bit draggy, especially since I was already feeling all tired out.

Then found out that PS does not have NR8. So had to walk to Somerset to take the night rider home. Again tempted to buy an Ipod (Nano) after seeing Robin's Ipod. Teachers have discount some more. Hope he found his ear piece at the bus-stop. Think it dropped either back at the cinema or at the bus-stop...

Reached home and continued playing with my brand new MP3 player. Didn't realise my songs collection was in such a mess. Decided to leave it till after I get some sleep first. It was already 4 am, after all...

The 512Mb space did turn out to be too small for my song collection after all. Didn't know I have so many songs. Made me regret my decision not to buy the Ipod... for a little while. But well, it is still a very good buy. Less than a hundred bucks for 512Mb, comes with radio and voice recording. Best of all, it shows the chinese and KOREAN characters of the songs being played. So no problem finding my fav korean song in KBox next time.

Can also be used as data storage (though no more space after I loaded 125 songs this morning...). And it's so cute and small. Bought the white version.
