I've been dreading to turn on my computer recently because it just takes too much out of me just to login to MSN, to surf the net or to check email. My system just crawls and it is such a torture and there is no way one can do any real work effectively on that machine.
So after loads of contemplation for the past months ... I finally took the plunge today and got myself a computer! The initial intention was just to get as cheap a desktop as I can get so as to meet my basic needs but a walk in Funan this afternoon in the company of a good friend turned out several good deals. There were some mid-range notebooks that were going at pretty competitive prices, and they were sticking to the promotional price given during the recent IT show!!
Thanks to the good friend who helped me to analyse which laptop is best, we finally decided on the Compaq Presario V3000 series. 
Alright I'm not sure whether its a to-be discontinued range or what but heck it, its going at $1.6K (after adding 4GB RAM and 2 add'l years warranty), I really think its reasonable lah. And we even got the saleslady to throw in one slipcase that retailed at $29 FOC!! Again thanks to the friend who suggested that (think i'm too one-track mind ... dunno how to bargain nor negotiate. But nevermind at least I learn how to today!)
So I'm happy that I'm now blogging with my new baby ... and with the widescreen (though small) I'll be able to start watching DVDs on it. Yippeee!!! Cham lah, books to read, movies to watch, room to re-deco. Not enough time!! I need more leave!! :P
