Temptations

As the title suggests..Yes, I'm being tempted.. Of course, by gadgets again...

This has always been the case ever since I was introduced into the world of computers at the tender age of 10. Yes, at age 10. While other boys of that age were playing catching, hide-and-seek, pak goli, I was at home fixing computers. Nope, I'm not those geeky kid with those 50mm glasses. In fact, I was considered the sporting kind. Hmm.. How did I manage my time back then, juggling between playing with the other boys out there and being a computer geek back in my room? *wonders*

I can be considered one of those 'well-to-do' kid, as back then, a computer was considered an expensive toy. I do not have 1, but 2, in my house. 1 belonging to my elder brother, and 1 to me. Both of them were DIY-ed. Can you believe it? A DIY computer by a 10 year old kid? Actually, it was my brother who taught me how to fix mine up. He also taught me the basic troubleshooting. From then, my interest in gadgets started growing.

Ok, too long winded about the past.. Fast forward, so now you know how my craving for new gadgets come about. Back to the topic..

I was having dinner with my buddy the other day at Causeway Point when I found out that he had gotten an iPhone. I played with it for a while and the temptation started to grow in me to get one as well. I orginally wanted to get the iPhone because I wanted a 3G phone with a GPS capability, because I didn't want to spend extra money to get a GPS. So when Singtel announced that they were going to release the iPhone, I placed a reservation.

However, my brother found a HTC phone during his trip in Phuket, and he decided to use that phone instead, passing his Dopod phone to me, which has a GPS function. Then, I decided that since I have gotten what I wanted, I can forget about the iPhone. But as time goes by, more of my friends started to switch to the iPhone, and after playing with the iPhone, my heart began to itch.

Not only the iPhone, I had wanted to get the Nintendo Wii as well. And PS3. Haha, all these are written on my Wishlist. HOWEVER, I know that now is not the time to get these gadgets YET, since I do not need them URGENTLY. Once in a while, I will still crave for them, but somehow rather, that angel of mine will pop out to remind me that I have to save up for the upcoming events... =)

So now what I can do is pray that I strike TOTO or 4D, then all these gadgets will find their way to my house.. Hehehehehe...
