Loving my new Lifebook

There is a time in a modern girl’s life where she purchases something oh-so-big, using her hard-earned, sweat and tears-shedding cash, thus making her fully and truly grown up and independent.

For me, that is when I bought my own laptop. And yesterday, I finally did. You see, I’m one of those geeks-in-disguise who loves electronic gadgets more than she loves shoes or clothes. I even dreamt about owning a laptop, several times, that when I woke up the first thought was, “Oh I wanna use my new laptop!” and got disappointed when realizing there was none.

So, after much research and consideration (cutting out notebook ads from newspaper and deviously browsing the internet at work which resulted in me hurting my fingers from too much alt-tabbing), my decision resided on the White Lifebook Fujitsu A3110. It is just like what my beau called it; A perfect notebook – excellent specs, affordable price, savvy looks for the savvy me – milky white and wide 15,4″ screen with bold accents that suit my personality.

As usual, when making a big decision, I always leave it up to my designer. It didn’t matter if I’d trawled the computer shops all over Harco Mangga Dua, because if I wasn’t meant to have it, then I wasn’t meant to have it. But after almost giving up on hope, we finally found it, and the reason why most shops didn’t have it was because it was just in, and so new it was that the shops hadn’t them on display yet.

While it was being unwrapped, I felt a surge of excitement washing me over. Of course my savings would be a few digits minus, but all the hard work I’d done for the past one year was worth the purchase, even though it means swallowing up the emotional ups and downs at work and coming home feeling ten times more pissed off than usual.

The purchase of this laptop signals the beginning of my time preparing to take off. This stylish little tool is all I need to put my ideas to reality.

And so the definition of working hard has not yet being done, in fact it has only just begun.

   Cie cieh….Fujitsu booo. That’s a good brand. But, just be careful with the color, cos eventually it will get tarnished. What’s the specs??? *very interested*

   I don’t remember what I ever got with my own money. Hmm…probably a boom box.
