It's here!

Santa Gladys has David Good Boy (DGB) on her Nice List this year, and since DGB had a bad day today, Santa Gladys decided to show him his Xmas present to cheer him up! (-^_^-)v


It's from Sydney Apple Store!


What's in the bag???


TADA!!!


Can these count as 3 presents?


It's the 16GB iPod Touch 2G! And it's MORE FUN than the funnest iPod ever, cos it's DGB's iPod. =P


Front view... You can see me + camera in the reflection. Lol.


Super-slim side view!


The back of the packaging.

Yesterday, I was cracking my head over which is the best case to get for DGB. So I went down to Apple Store today and spent about 2 hours trying on all the different cases (the staff at Sydney Apple Store rock!!) and in the end, I decided on this Incase Slider Case. Was gonna buy black, but I spotted this NEW COLOUR at the last minute and bought it instead.



I know it looks like a sad, sucky grey in the photo, but it's actually a very cool metallic finish (gun metal colour).




The Incase Slider Case complete with the fake cardboard iPod. =P



Can't wait to meet your new iPod huh?

A teaser for David...and a little for myself

Now that I'm going back to Singapore soon, what does David have to look forward to apart from seeing me and taking a break from work? Hmm... How about...

The funnest iPod ever!!



So, I've been thinking a lot about which case to get for David's Xmas iPod Touch. At first I wanted to get him one of those leather folio cases, but then I found that they're bulky and seem to interfere with the sensitivity of the touchscreen. After much deliberation, I decided to go for the fitted cases + screen protector instead, so here're a few contenders:



Incase silicon protective cover in black.
This one's a little bulkier (less bulky than the leather folios though), but more protective than the rest. The protectiveness is definitely suitable for David, but silicon means that it'll be a dust magnet.



Incase slider case in black.
This one's easy to put on, has a coating at the back for better grip, but it's made of hard plastic, so it's less protective and might break more easily, plus reviews of the slider case for 1st Gen iPod Touch said that it leaves SCRATCHES.



Incase hardcase in black.
This one's similar to the slider case, except it's translucent and is a snap-on case rather than a slide-on. So probably less chances of scratching the iPod Touch in the process of putting it on. Once again, it's plastic - less protective and more prone to breakage.




Well, ya, this Belkin silicon case in purple is just a THOUGHT. Although David likes purple, this is probably a little too girly for him. Haha. It's cute though!


So many to choose from... What a headache... Maybe I should just get him PINK...





So while I was looking at iPod Touch, I started feeling very tempted to get something for myself to replace my pathetic Aigo MP3 player that has a FM tuner but only plays 99 songs!


Don't you just love ALL the new iPod Nano colours? I'm totally undecided now. I love the look of the iPod Nano, but I like to listen to the radio from time to time, but iPods just don't have FM tuners!! Grr... I wonder if I should just get an 8GB Sony NWZ-S738F/B from Sydney International Airport DFS for a little more than an iPod Nano...

It retails in Singapore at S$319, but I can get it at DFS for just A$199, which is very cheap considering the exchange rate now. Shall pop down to Sony Centre to have a look after my paper tomorrow.





What I like about it:

  • Built-in Noise Cancelling System
  • Better batt life - 40 hours(music)/10 hours(video)
  • Digital FM Tuner
  • Music transfer by Drag & Drop
  • Easy to charge via USB connection
  • Comes with Sony in-ear earphones
  • Similar size to Nano
  • Fast charging (3hrs full charge)


Here's the price/size/weight comparison:

8GB iPod Touch: A$299 / 110 x 61.8 x 8.5mm / 115g
8GB Sony NWZ-A728F/B: A$199 / 89.5 X 42.9 X 7.5mm / 46g
8GB iPod Nano: A$180 / 90.7 x 38.7 x 6.2mm / 36.8g


Sigh... What should I do?!?! I love the iPod Nano design more, but I love the Sony features more. BTW, I'm not considering the 8GB iPod Touch. Just threw it in purely for comparison's sake.


Tell me what you think thru the poll in the side panel. (-^_^-)v

My new pendant watch!

Went to Paddy's Market today to look for a pendant watch after seeing Charlene's and Jasmine's watches, but in the end, I chose something totally different from theirs. I'm sure David will love it though, cos it's Coca Cola! (^_^) Planning to wear this with my cartoon t-shirts/tank tops.


It's made in the shape of a Coca Cola bottle cap. It flips open like a pocket watch, but I'm too lazy to take a photo of that.


Modelled by our beloved Tiglet (Piglet in Tigger suit)!

My newest purchases!

Finally went shopping today and bought myself a pair (non-matching) of toe rings from Goldmark! The designs here r so much nicer than the ones in SG and I'm so happy! =))


Here they are!


I just love the design on these 2 rings! They're $10 each BTW. 925 silver.


On my toes.


Also went to Broadway in hope of finding couple t-shirts for David and me, and I found them in the most unlikely place! Target kids' department! I bought size 12 (12-yr-old) for both of us. David's t-shirt should have a muscle tee fit. Hehe.


TADA!! 12-year-old girl's (left) and boy's (right) t-shirts!
David's t-shirt looks a bit lop-sided, but tt's just cos I didn't hang it up properly...
