[approaching CNY]

As it is, CNY's footsteps is drawing near and my hair needs a good trim. I rem my last cut was at the end of November and right after that cut I had food poisoning cos I had lor-mee for lunch and I swallowed some rotten meat in it. My stylist had his bookings full to almost the whole week! Thus I could only manage to get a time slot at 5.30pm ytd. I reached too early and waited nearly an hour before he could attend to me.

Anyway here it is hehe.

I think the cut is quite nice, longer fringe this time. I wish I could style like they do.

Sat was bright and sunny, good weather for those who wanna do their CNY's shopping. The sky had such a nice shade of blue that I could not resist taking pictures of it.

From my room's window,

From the kitchen's window,

Boss made an announcement on Friday about the bonus, supporting staff like myself will receive an average of 1.5 month bonus. That said, it is an average and it will differ from person from person.

My current mac has turned 3 years old and I feel it is time to replace it. Initially, I wanred to get imac because I think the current specs are good enough for my usage which are mainly surfing the net, mp3s, anime, prawns and the occasionally photo editing. Then I got distracted by the new Macpro which comes standard with 2 X quadcore Xeon processors and 2GB of RAM. I kept thinking of it for some time and then I realised, my bonus is not that much, buying a macpro will be quite a heavy burden. I dun need 8 cores of computing power, tho I must admit the expandability of the macpro is very alluring. Then I thought, how much will I upgrade? At most I will add 1 or 2 hdd at most and at that price tag, seems too much.

I dun need a workstation just to surf net, listen to mp3s and watching videos. + the price tag issue.

So I decided to get the imac instead cos it is the most reasonable thing to do, I could save up some cash for an external hdd and more RAM. Current imacs run on C2D processors which means it runs cooler. Current mac is a powermac, the ancestor of the macpro and it is hot. The amount of hot air blowing out is quite annoying and my room is quite warm because of it. The imac 3 years ago has pathetic specs. Now I am deciding to aim for the 20' or 24' imac hehe. 24' will be a blast! I can watch all the HD shit in full screen! And the current mac's pathetic gfx card is too slow to watch full HD trailers w/o dropping frame rates.

I hope I will be able to get a good price to sell of my pmac to offset the new imac.
