Notebook

Being third in the family means a lot of my stuff are passed down to me from my eldest brother, my second brother, then me. Sometimes, probably starting from my dad.

It could be anything, a book, a watch, a phone, a laptop, toys, or even clothes.

I seldom bought my own new things. The mobile phones i have been using until now has all been passed down to me.

It is not that i'm complaining, it is still usable, although a bit old but still good. I am grateful i get to use these things, I don't even have to pay a single cent to get it.

I am sure everybody loves new stuffs.

The moment you tear open the wrapper,
the moment you put it on/turn it on,
you look at yourself in the mirror,
you smell it, feel it, lick it (okay just kidding...),
it feels good, you feel proud, you feel happy and excited,
you take good care of it, protect it like your only child.

So when it's time for me to get myself something new, i feel annoyed and troublesome.

First you have to look at your budget, you have to choose the one you like, you have to scout for bargains, look at reviews, ask friends'/brothers'/forum-ers'/peoples'/dogs' opinion...
Especially when you are not updated with the current specs or prices, it is difficult.

Then, after buying that something, you tend to regret...
"oh i should have gotten those..."
"oh that one looks much better..."
"damn, this one actually sucks more than that one..."
you tend to want the best, you are never satisfied.

Currently, i am looking for a descent laptop for myself to use in university. The old laptop i have been using was passed down from my eldest bro, it is aged more than 7 years i guess.

Laptop a.k.a Notebook

Is this a process we have to go through every time we want to get something new? Sigh...
