Big Purchase

I classify "big purchase" as stuff that isn't part of my "regular expenses", and costs around $200 and above.
 
In comparison, I think I'm really spending a lot lesser than most of my peers. I don't have many expensive hobbies, and I don't splurge on things like bags, chairs, bikes, specs, shoes, etc...

In fact, most of my big purchases are IT gadgets, and I usually hoot only 1 "mega purchase" or 2-3 "major purchase" per year.

So I think it's pretty reasonable right?

Major Purchase - $200 to $1000
Mega Purchase - Above $1000

2013 will be much, much more bloody (大出血)...

I can forsee:

- An urgent need to upgrade my HTC Desire (3 years liao leh...)

- A vacation trip in mid year

- A bigger size monitor! (Been using the 22' one for > 5 years liao... and really need one for productivity)

- Look for something to replace my aging S9 (Tempting...)

- Update my graphic card if got games to play. (Didn't change it, it's still HD4870)

Westone UM2

No choice but to change my IEM after I accidentally killed my "Westone 1" :"(

 ...

Been looking around for an upgrade ever since, and after trying out many IEMs, it seems that I still can't get over the Westone brand.

I'm no audiophile, so I can't really differentiate anything among the "super-high end" IEMs, where you're supposedly able to hear every single instrument, every detail, etc...

 ...

To me, the most important factor in choosing an IEM is comfort - it must fit comfortably and allow long usage without tiring my ears.And of course, there needs to be good isolation and durability.

And personally, I've found nothing that comes close to the Westone products when it comes to comfort.

Seriously love their epic grade cables (light, flexible and durable), over the ear usage (less annoyance and more secure) and their eartips just fit my small ears nicely.

They've definitely got me as a customer for life. ^_^

又大一岁了！

哈。。。该说什么好呢？

真是个起起落落的一年。


1）当叔叔了。（侄女真的太可爱了）

2）正式毕业了。

3）九个月的"新生”培训计划已经完成了三分之二。

4）好不容易“爱鼻涕”及格。。。现在又要开始料。。。

5）在“个人兴趣”方面也有不错的发展，找回了遗失好久的东西。今年第一天也首次冲破五位数大关，真是让我惊喜若狂。



同时，发生的一些事也让我体会健康是多么的重要。

看到身边一些人，好像蛮有钱，可是年级轻轻就这个也不能吃，那个也不能喝，真的很惨。

真的要好好照顾自己的身体！



至于其余的一些事 --- 命里有时终须有，命里无时莫强求。

P.S:  S.H.E 终于再度合体了。这支ＭＶ里真是充满了我的青春啊。

就算现在不再像以前那样疯 --- 会去排队几小时拿签名，追看他们的每一个节目，收集每一本杂志封面。。。

但是，我支持他们的心，可是从来没变哦。

人老了，方式改变了。

但是，心还是热的。
