coolohoh | What a weekend!

What a title! Hahaha. If you've been following my LJ you would have known that I suck at coming up with titles.

I got my hands on The Digitalian LE album yesterday! Call me slow but... it was only after opening my copy that I realized that we got BOTH covers! Hahaha. The Vegetarian cover is just a sleeve, and when you take it out the inside is the same cover as the RE! With our five lovely boys! Hahahaha. I'm slow, I know! And I'm so lazy to upload the photos now hahaha...

But well after that I was just wondering around Orchard. Went to check out the new Orchard library, and it's really darn cool. I think the capacity in terms of books is lesser than the old one? Well it feels like there are lesser shelves... but the design and everything. It's just so damn freaking cool. Befitting of a library situation in Orchard for sure, though I do think the old one was good enough. I used to frequent the Orchard library a lot. Because of the location of my sec sch. Then they closed it, and the opening of a new library in Orchard kept getting delayed... till just a few days ago, it finally reopened. Ah words cannot properly describe the elegance of that place. My words at least. It looks really classy. Like a high class book shop. More like a bookshop than a library. Minimalist design and all. But well... Jurong regional library is where I go to for my books now though. Big and with a wide selection of the books I want. And most importantly, convenient. Not the nearest to my house alright, but near enough. And I'd pass by that station everyday to work too. (Not to mention all the shopping I could do as an aside...) Meh. I still have a bunch of library books to finish reading before it's due in a couple of days... Opps.

So I did go and eat some nice food yesterday...

And shopping... ahh went to Daiso (the 100 yen shop equivalent in SG) and lo and behold! I FINALLY found it. The neodymium magnets! I saw it once in the store, just one packet, and happily bought it. Been hoping to find it in the store ever since, but never had any luck till yesterday. These neodymium are much, much stronger than the conventional iron oxide and ceramic, ferric magnets (those black ones that break easily). They hold their magnetism wayyyy longer, and don't break. What do I need those neodymium magnets for you ask? No idea. Really. Apart from decorating (I won't call round sliver magnets decoration though) my already very full white boards... Gosh I should get a new, HUGE white board someday. My white boards are all filled with stuff stuck on them that I don't have space to write anything anymore. Well. I've had a fascination with magnets since I was young. Magnets and glow in the dark stuff. I loved them. And now I still get those urges to buy magnets and glow in the dark stuff occasionally. I don't make a beeline for these items when I go the the bookshop or departmental store nowadays (and for magnets, normal ferric ones are no longer attractive), but when I do see something interesting... and combine that with my increased spending power...

Long story short, I bought a ton of magnets yesterday.

White boards. I love white boards too. And not only because you can stick magnets onto them. I loved using white boards. When I had to memorize stuff, writing on white boards helped me remember things quicker. It's only nice if the white board is big though. *looks around my room* Darn. I need a big white board. And space to put that big white board.

Ok. I don't NEED it. I just WANT it.

Well in other news. I helped my dad order a macbook pro with retina display for my sis today. We upgraded the RAM to 16 GB. Again I debated whether to get an iMac. In the end I checked when Apple last refreshed the iMacs and decided against it. The mid range 21.5inch iMac I was aiming for was last refreshed on the 24th of Sept 2013, which makes it over a year old. And you know with technology, you only buy stuff when you really need them, because every year the technology just keeps getting better. And as I said previously, I am not in dire need of a new computing device. Plus with the fact that iMatc has not been refreshed in a while... I think it's better to wait till next year. Despite the lack of RAM and micro hangs, my lappy is still going pretty strong after all...

I think Apple's next move would be to push out a 'retina' display for the 21.5 inch iMacs. Whatever name the new screen will get. It happened on the iPhones, the iPods, the iPads, and iPad minis. Then the macbook pro. And now the 27 inch iMac. I do believe the 21.5 inchers would get a retina display too. We'll see. Either way I do think a refresh for the iMac line, the rest of the line, would be due soon. Oh wells. IF my lappy really dies, the iMac is just a few mouse clicks and a few days away... I'll have to get one eventually. It's just a problem of WHEN.

Alrights. That's all for now, getting tired! Till next time!
