I’m moving to Malaysia.

1/11/2009

So long my Singaporean friends.

I’m kidding. The title might be a tad exaggerating.

I had quite an exceptional day. My parents and I went to look at semi detached houses.

In the semi detached house, it has 4 bedrooms and 1 maid room. 4 Bathrooms. 2 Kitchens. 2 family halls, laundry room and so on. It’s 2 story high. The catch is that the house is in Malaysia, it’s about 10 minutes away from Woodlands checkpoint. It’s pretty near. But it’s still freakin’ awesome.

The house cost like 374,000 RM. That’s pretty darn cheap. With that amount, you can probably just buy a 2 room HDB apartment in Singapore. My parents are paying by installment of course. The semi detached houses are different from the other semi detaches. It’s guarded and there’s like a huge fence surrounding the entire semi detached housing area.In the semi detached housing area, it is divided into 4 parts. Victoria, Cyberia, Indahria, Vistaria. At this moment, Victoria and Vistaria are nearly done with construction like almost 90% of it done. It’ll complete in May 2010. About 99% of the houses are sold.

We didn’t have much choices so we decided to pick a house in Cyberia area. Cyberia area will be completed in 2011. Yes, that’s quite a long time. It’s about 2 years. Now you might be wondering, “Omg your parents paid 374k RM for a house that isn’t built yet?” Seriously, don’t be stupid asshole. All we did was reserve it and paid 11k RM to the government to get permission to buy a house for foreigners. We are only required to pay for the house when it’s completely built.

In any case, I’m not moving to Malaysia and I don’t think we’ll be living there. My parents bought the house as an investment. They are planning to rent it out. Anyways, the property agent told us, about 80% of the houses are sold to Singaporeans. I’m not surprised.

That’s it. The showroom is pretty amazing.

Today, I got my fabrix case as well. I paid about $55 for it. I’m totally loving the case and the design.

It’s a snug fit.

A pocket at the back. $55 for some padded fabric and some design is quite expensive. I’ve been wanting it for so long so I decided to take the plunge and buy it.

My iMac – Confessions of an Apple Aficionado

25/07/2009

I have been so busy lately and will be even super busy in the upcoming week. 2 test and 2 assignment submission for next week! Major insanity.

Anyways, last thursday July 16, 2009. Yes it’s been about more than a week, my iMac arrived! It’s like finally!

This is the specification of my iMac,

  • 24″ Glossy Display
  • 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  • 4GB 1066 MHz DDR3 SD RAM
  • 640GB Serial ATA Hard Drive
  • ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
  • Apple Mighty Mouse & Keyboard

And of course it comes with iLife, MAC OS X and so on and so forth. I can’t wait for Snow Leopard to be out! I got another offer, Snow leopard for 9USD only! This machine runs blazing fast. Comparing to my Macbook, 2.4GHz and 4GB RAM. It’s way better even though the specification is nearly the same.

It cost about $3050 all in all. It’s a gift from my parents for doing well in school! Hopefully i can still do well in school.. I’m finding this semester difficult.. I don’t wanna disappoint them. Anyways, since it was a gift i had to somewhat take advantage of the opportunity given. I specifically configured mine at the Apple Store,Yes i know you get more for what you pay for like any other computer like DELL, HP but it’s not a mac, I got the most expensive graphics card that money can buy for the iMac. Yes, I know I’m such as asshole. But i play games at times too! Speaking of games, i so love Left 4 Dead and i can’t wait for Left 4 Dead 2 is be out. I’m digressing.

Nevertheless, my iMac is so heavy. The exact weight is 11.5 kg. I had a hard time carrying it alone into my room after it got delivered. Let the pictures do the talking!

Hugely written. ‘Assembled in China.” – Finely printed at the bottom.

It’s thin and have 2 USB ports and yet it’s sturdy. It feels heavy.

Totally loving it.

My macbook and loads of wires on my desk.

It’s not that glossy. It still has a plastic warp around it.

What? Only one wire? The power cord only? Sucks to be you, Windoze Users. Well.. unless you’re using a windows laptop then you win me LOL. I still have the Keyboard and mouse wire.

Pretty much, everything in my room is white..

The slit where you actually push in the CD or DVD.

And then my skin arrived for my ipod touch. I got this plaid design which is somewhat close to Burberry’s design.

And it also comes with a matching wallpaper! I paid $13 only for it. Cheap or what huh? I’m so in love with the design. And i absolutely love my gorgeous iMac.
