Shopping Spree (3): A Great Regret

This is the hardest thing for me to write about. I still feel the remorse. This is the rare moment when I wish that I could turn back the time and change my option......

For several years, I had spent my money to be able to buy a newest laptop with a big specification fit for design purposes. Of course, I also waited for the decreasing of laptop's price, which did happen each year....hehehe... I did have a laptop in my hands, the early generation of M-Pentium of Compaq Presario that needed a memory upgrading for design purposes, but was still very okay to office works and chatting. And this is the source of my deep regret for this last and biggest shopping spree.

Last year, I found out that I had saved enough money to make my dreams come true.....yes, dreams....not just one.... And so I went and bought some new wardrobe (no, I didn't and won't write about this...hihihi...), a new printer, a new cellphone.....and..... 

One day at the end of February, I went to a hightech mall to visit a computer expo there. I didn't have any purposes but just browsed. Then, my eyes and interests was caught on a Lenovo product. The price is quite nice with a quite high specification, higher than average. But still, its memory wasn't as high as I wanted. Realized what I looked for, the sales person offered me an alternative. The harddisk capacity was lower, but its memory was four times higher than the Lenovo.....and the price was lower.... Whaaammm....I had the money, I saw my dream in front of me.....and I became blinded.....

Back at home, after some hours later, I kind of woke up from a dream and started to re-trace my step. I realized that my need of a new laptop wasn't that urgent. That I preferred to have ready fund in my bank, rather than good and shiny things in my hands. That buying this laptop made me had to re-consider my other plans, such as family vacations.

But what is done had done. Now, I have a new laptop......at least, I had a dream come true....hehehe.... I have to use this laptop as I planned to....install some designing software and get started......first, a plan for my own house make-over. And I've been also re-starting saving hard....to fulfill my other dreams.... Hopefully, I will be able to achieve that in the next two years.......
