Random musings
Most of you may not know this, but I'm kind of a compulsive buyer. I normally would always try to save money, but if I deem something that's worth having, I normally don't take more than an hour before I make the purchase. I bought my laptop this way: from the moment I realized that I want a new laptop, to making the decision to buy a laptop, to putting the order down, it took maybe about a day. A $950 laptop to me is a major purchase. However, I can always justify my purchases, so I don't think it's really that big of a problem. It does not help in the saving-money department.
In 2009 alone, I've spent about $700 in buying a wii, wii games, and accessories. I just bought a $200 GPS unit for the upcoming March trip around Cali. I can't even disclose how much I've already spent on V-day gift and birthday gift on Chelsea. I don't really regret any of my purchases, but it just goes to show me that the moment I have money, I'd like to spend it on things that may or may not be useful. I'd also like to thank my lucky stars that I'm still behind the protective shell of academics during this economic downturn.
This morning was the first time I used the said GPS unit. Feeling confident and adventurous, I took a new route to go to my lab. I figured itis a shorter route (though with way more traffic), but I've never tried it before. Well, the following exert probably illustrate my story the best:
[10:24] IamOneHappyAsian: the first time I used my GPS today
[10:24] IamOneHappyAsian: and it helped me from getting lost
[10:24] IamOneHappyAsian: lol
[10:25] IamOneHappyAsian: and it's driving to the lab! something I've been doing for like a year!
[10:25] IamOneHappyAsian: granted I took a new route today because I felt confident with my GPS lol
[10:27] maulik desai2002: hahahahaha
[10:27] maulik desai2002: oh man
[10:27] maulik desai2002: thats funny
[10:27] IamOneHappyAsian: I know!
[10:27] IamOneHappyAsian: lol
GPS has now proven its usefulness, and therefore justified my purchase. I love to be proven right. :)
