On Consumerism and Random Stuff
Daily Ramblings, Interesting Stuff, Wishlist June 14th, 2009 @ 1655h
Now let’s start off with this random note. I realized that I have too many books left unread. It’s time to start. Let’s start with books I own that I have yet to finish reading.
- The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
- The Eighth Habit
- The World is Flat
- The Twilight Series (four books!)
- The Children Of Hurin
And books I WANT to read:
- The Time Traveler’s Wife
- A Thousand Splendid Sun
- Prisoner of the State: The Secret Journal of Premier Zhao Ziyang
- The Stand
- … and probably more
I think I should start with finishing the books I have first.
On another note, my family spent quite a lot of money on the PC Show yesterday. Let’s see how much I spent:
- $49.90 – Sonic Gear Earpump Pro
Since my creative in-ear has decided to stop working on one side of my ear, I had to get a new pair. I am rather impressed with the package. It comes with a pouch and some audio jacks including one that allows you to plug in two earphones into one audio output jack. Buying it at the PC show included a free gift of a HTC mini-USB to 3.5mm audio jack adapter. Pretty cool! - $60 – On the Twilight 4 books boxset
- $59.90 – Two pairs of Berms
And my dad bought a 42″ HDTV at $1699 =D It comes with a free Blu-Ray player. Now I just need to get a media adapter (looking to be $500 =/) to stream videos from my PC to the TV to maximise the use of said TV in a HD-content devoid Singapore.
My brother bought a $1299 HP Notebook to replace his ailing notebook.
Total damage: $3167.80
