Sweet Sweet Baby!!

It was another boring day of classes yesterday, but the good news is that my IS 044 class on Wednesday is cancelled; my Prof. has to attend a funeral. This week is turning out to be a sweet week, I have absolutely no Chemistry classes to attend as my Prof. is away at a convention. I got back from my last class today and went to the front desk to check if I had mail. I had more than mail alright! I had 2 packages and a card in total. I wonder what was in those packages? Hmm....


I opened the box! It was rather empty don't you think?


I dug among the filler bags and found...


My newest addition to my gadget family! The gorgeous 5.5G 80GB Ipod in Black! I've been wanting one since forever and I finally decided to buy it online over here after procrastinating for so long. Since I've been hitting the library very often these days, I decided that I needed a little music to accompany me when I study. Also, this will accompany on road trips and on flights here and there. It took me less than 30 mins to sync the whole of my mp3 library to the Ipod, which is considered very fast as there is currently 2758 songs in there. Yes, I had to download iTunes to make it work...but then again, Apple Inc. know what they're doing. However, I don't really like iTunes because I can't delete multiple songs at once which is a pain. Or maybe it's because I haven't figured out how to do it yet...


The other package contained the casing and DioFilm I ordered for my Ipod. I wouldn't have the heart to use it if I knew that it could be scratched easily. I like the casing as the flap is magnetic, it helps keep my earphones secure. It's cheaper to buy on Amazon than from the Apple Store. Also, I got $10 discount because I used Google Checkout for the first time or else I would be paying $17.83 for the accessories. Total damage to my bank account...$332.49 + $7.83 = $ 340.32. It was worth it!

Congrats on your new sweet baby :) What a great bargain!!! You certainly can't get in Ipod WITH accessories in Msia.

Fuiyoo banyak duittt~~

Haha, but I'm happy you bought one. I'm only using a Nano with 1GB of memory... so i gotta choose and choose what songs to put inside... :(

Am currently in love with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Flavor of the month :)

Anyway, I'm moving off campus in summer? Found this cheap apartment, 3 bed 2 bath for only $740 (as opposed to $1200 for other apartments around here), but the only problem is that it's a bit far. 3 miles, about 10 minutes drive lah. Problem is, I don't have a car. So it looks like I am dependant on my friends for now... Until I save up enough to buy a car. Living on an incredibly tight budget, I have barely 70 dollars in my account now. And I didn't spend money on anything unnecessary!

Well, maybe except for this:

YT, yes it is cheaper to get one here than back home in Malaysia. Unfortunately, the accessories were only limited to the casing and film. Might be tempted to get a boombox and FM transmitter to go along with my baby when I have the money. Muahaha!

Mugs, no Nano for me. I'd rather get the whole lot for a little more $$$. I hate making new playlists so yeah, this helps! Accomodation over there sounds expensive. I can get a 5 bedroom house over here with heat for $800. A car sounds nice. :)

Well, I do live in Daytona Beach, not some hick town in Iowa... :D Kidding, kidding.

Places and things are mahal-ler here.

Sad for me.

And yeah, I can't wait to get a car! Driving here is going to be an adventure, I have to unlearn what I know and relearn things... It'll be like I'm learning how to drive again! Yay~

I can't lumba-lumba in American roads though :)

How about you? Any driving plans? You drove back home, right? I can't recall.

The nano was something my sister bought for me, for my birthday :) Orang miskin, kena beli benda-benda murah, mana boleh beli barang mahal macam you.. :D

Sooo... spring break plans?

Yeah, sad for you. I still don't get the driving over here. It feels to weird. Spring break plans? St. Louis here I come!
