Going to be broke soon T_T

おひさしぶりだね、=D
Hey guys,
It's been a very long time since I last updated this thing.
Truth is I wanted to write a lot since kak sara's wedding but well, being busy and lazy is not such a great combination after all =D
Therefore I'll skip those parts and just don't write about them maybe I'll write about some of them when I look back in the far distant future XP

Oh it was my 20th birthday last Sunday, thanks to all my friends and family who wished me ^^
My laptop was being weird yesterday and won't detect it's webcam during the night for two days OTL
It would be ok during the day and during the night when I was trying to skype with my family it won't detect my webcam so I became sound only OTL

So for now this post shall be about a number of stuff that has depleted my bank account since the time when I just arrived in Australia till very recently.

First up, one of the basics, a new external hard disk. The 2.5" 1TB I brought with me was almost full (pushing your high speed internet quota over it's limit will do that). So I bought this from JB HiFi. Was pondering whether to get a a 1TB 2.5" or 2TB 3.5" and I wanted one that supported USB 3.0. So finally after going around a few shops and standing in them for more than an hour I decided to buy this one. A 3.5" WD My Book Essential 2TB HDD


Next thing the list of stuff that depleted my bank account is this.
 
It's a Nikon COOLPIX S8100. You can read a review of it here.  I don't know where my previous camera went OTZ I hope I accidently left it at home or with my mom.Hopefully none of my sisters read this. Ying, Nana, if you two read this remember if you tell mom I'll have a bone to pick with you guys, I got stuff on you guys as well >_< Anyway that gave my concious a good enough excuse to get myself a new camera and though it doesn't have a touch screen like my previous one, it has better specs ^^ though the position where the flash pops out is really awkward as most people would have their left hand there though you'll get used to it. ^^


Next up is this little critter, the Nintendo 3DS
Honestly, who doesn't know what this thing is. Anyway you can read a review about it here . I actually got mine a $100 cheaper than prices in store. Thank you ebay \0/ though I haven't been playing that much due to assignment due dates and finals coming soon. Just you wait winter holidays XD

and finally the most recent culprit putting me on a very tight budget. A birthday present I bought for myself (sound so sad and lonely lol). The smarphone that many reviewers have crowned as the current King of Smartphones  (even with it's greatest rival the HTC Sensation coming around the corner) beating the crap out of Apple's Iphone 4 and even whatever 5 or 4S they gonna release as Android pawns iOS (Apples model is they do things one way and everybody will have to suit themselves to it and then it's easy to be comfy, android on the other hand allows a lot of tinkering and customization according to how you want to use  the device). The Samsung GT-i9100 Galaxy SII. You can read some some round up reviews here. In Hardware terms it effectively kicks almost every phone out in the market now and also the soon to be released HTC Sensation don't know about the fruit company as they everything also secretive. Though if only HTC Sense 3.0 UI is in this phone, would have been perfect  XD It's also the current thinnest smartphone in the world (well actually it's the second thinnest, there's this phone in Japan which is thinner and there's also some with greater specs but that phone is not released internationally and only limited to the Japanese market so the Galaxy S2 takes the tittle) ^^
 I ordered one last week, bought it outright as I don't want to be locked in a contract and I don't want to get a locked phone where you can't use with any other network unless you pay an unlocking fee. The thing should have been in my hands by now though tracking shows that it arrived at the Brisbane Airport after the the Fedex Courier have dispatched so my new super phone will be spending the night in a warehouse in the Brisbane Airport before it gets sent to me tomorrow >_<" If only they had DHL I would have used that instead of Fedex..... DHL goes straight to the Brisbane Airport instead of Fedex who brings stuff into Aussie through Sydney first and then only dispatching it to other states through local flights effectively adding one or two days into the equation with about the same price.... Good thing I don't have any classes tomorrow so hopefully it'll come early then I can go out to Toowong and pick up some mail or I have to delay that chore.

Well guys that's it from me for now,
been a very long time and finals are coming next month ahaha.
Hopefully I won't be as lazy as I've been the rest of the year and update this place once in a while again, maybe after finals and the winter holidays start or something.
So until next time guys,
hobey-ho lets go,
さよなら。(^_^)
