New Toys

Two weeks ago I made my decision to give up Starhub's "Fat Green Tube" a.k.a their MaxOnline Broadband. It's too slow, everything take ages to load and let's not talk about how long I need to "get" a new movie onto my Mac.

So I've decided to jump over to Singtel's broadband and I instantly saw a significant difference after I plugged it in. Although most websites, like Youtube, only load a little faster but now it only takes me less than 10sec to "get" a new song, less than an hour for a movie. Amazing!

Anyway, to make the deal sweeter, I opt to sign up a contract for a 9" EeePc. Although I don't really need a laptop at the moment - even if I do i'll get a Macbook Pro - there's no harm having one either. And it's so small, so irrestitible to use and touch. Just look at the picture below...


It's as big as my Mac Mini!

Performance wise it's not too bad, haven't really try much things on it yet but what more can you expect for something so small right? Haha. With this new netbook, I can finally send my Mac Mini for repairs, the stupid DVD drive is faulty. Yipee!

I also bought myself a new 640GB Harddisk and a new pair of earphones yesterday at Sitex. I know I'm damn broke now and shouldn't be spending money on stuffs like that, especially with Christmas round the corner but I couldn't resist, the prices were too cheap and with new movies everyday, I seriously need a larger storage space. Haha.
