PC Fair April 2010!
YAYYY It’s April! Which means PC FAIR!
I’ve been sick since last Saturday.. so for 4 days I’ve been sleeping and resting. And going to class on Thursday was troublesome because my stomach still hurt when driving so yesterday, I decided to go to KLCC using LRT instead of driving there. I love going to KLCC by LRT because I don’t get tired from driving & being stuck in traffic jam in KL, I save petrol, and most importantly I save money on parking. Obviously KLCC parking charges ridiculously. Since I’m going to PC fair, I’d definitely take a looooong time so parking usually would be crazy!
I went with my friend who decided to join me at the last minute . I wanted to buy a media center/player badly. For months I’ve been wanting one because I download a lot of movies online, and sometimes when I go back to my hometown, it’ll be cool watch my movies on TV so I don’t have to bring all of my dvds or burn them to dvds or whatever.. plus I have a lot of downloaded youtube videos that I want to watch on TV. Somehow, currently, there’s been a lot of players popping out! I was reading a review yesterday, and the one I wanted looks good – Western Digital WD TV Mini. It’s cheap too – only RM 179 or something. But then, I saw the demo for WD TV Live! Which is almost the same but with a bit more format support (but no rmvb support unlike the mini).. but HD support PLUS you can watch youtube on TV! It’s quite useless though for me, because I can watch youtube on my comp here.. would be useful when I go back to hometown except it doesn’t support wifi router.
Anyways! I found a cheaper version player, for half the price of WD TV Mini! Ok, so it’s china made.. it’s not perfect.. BUT it can play flash videos directly! Hurrah! And it only cost me RM73..so now I can download youtube stuff and watch directly on tv from my portable external without having to convert the videos and burn to dvd.. which still doesn’t guarantee you that it would play correctly. You have absolutely NO IDEA how happy I am right now to get the player! However, I’m hoping for the next pc fair I can get either the WD TV LIVE or Seagate’s Theater.. which cost almost RM400.That or a new 1TB portable external HDD.
Other than that, I also bought:
- A new laptop bag because my old original Acer bag is all torn now.
- MicroSDHC 8GB card (I received a free card reader)
- Sonic! Gear pink nano clip headphone (I need a smaller headphone that doesn’t hurt my ear, not bulky, and doesn’t fall off easily)
That’s it. I would’ve bought more.. I needed a new mouse but I didn’t want to spend more money as I’ve spent enough already. I did well in resisting temptations UNTIL ……………
…………………………
………until I went into a M.A.C store x____x
I ban myself from MAC and Bobbi Brown store.. now I have a new MAC face primer when I already have Smashbox primer! ARGH! RM78 gone! >.> I was gonna get their foundation but managed to resist that temptation. There goes all of my money I’ve set aside to buy my slimming pills.. wait, that’s all the money I had.. I only have like 20 dollars balance in my wallet… I SO NEED A JOB.
Speaking of job, I had a surprise call from my ‘bosses’ from my old internship place. He offered me a job as their editor..if I don’t want full time I can opt for contract at least until their movie is out at the end of the year… should I? should I? I hate the traffic jam, I hate the stress of having to rush for editing, I hate going back at night or stay back.. but……. I need a job. Well I know that in May I’m going to take a month break from everything, I’ll take that time to think about it.
Well I have a ‘party’ to go to in a couple of hours.. so toodles.
Name's 
excellent tech gear reviews!
yeah you should go for editing job, steady job will bore you to tears (justsaying).
