Well....rahayu has done it again. I've configured some things and I dunno if I should say this but..I help my 'friend' go wireless! Took some time to configure coz apparently, the instructions sounded clear cut enough like which wire go to which port..yadah yadah..but at the end of the day (or should I say night)..sometimes, it takes a lot of trial and error.
Anyhow..it took like an hour plus, but hey...it's for a worthy cause. Now my 'friend' can go to the living room and surf the net. Woohoo!! Okay..I'm trying to comfort my 'friend' that even though 76 dollars is still quite some money to spend, it's still under 100 dollars plus free technical wizardry..haha..! She don't even need to spend yet another 100 more on cable wires..modem...surfing plan. Just that small box which is not even as commercialised as the one promoted by starhub (which, by the way...cost MORE than a hundred). Well...sometimes, brand name can be good..but sometimes, it's all about what you want and whether that thing considered as 'cheaper' performs basically, the same functions. And I am not trying to despise Starhub or something, but really.....anyone wants to make profits, right? The wireless router box they sell is more than a hundred...but market price, it's slightly below that. I tell ya...go out to computer shops like Funan or even in malls (i bought mine from cyberactive..) and check out the prices. Ask, if you have to. But just make sure, they don't lean so much on a specific product just because it's more expensive than the others. But anyway, if it's cheaper also..it gotta have a reason why. Can be anything from shorter distance...if wires are needed..and so on. Read the fine prints!
Okay, so the next day (or shall I say night, again..) figured out without the manual how to make it security enabled. Took me more than half an hour..coz there's so many bloody options! But at the end of it, I onlie have to follow what other people who are way way way better in I.T. usually do to security-enable their wireless router to prevent unauthorised users. Damn..talk about trying to act smart.
Still, I think I need a bit of time more for configurations, coz you know...security is a big thing.
Anyhow, if I am not dabbling with my computer, I was trying to reorganize my bags. They were so much in a clutter even though, I tried to squeeze as many as I could within the top shelf but somehow, it was still disorganized. Like, I kept using the newer bags instead of the older bags coz I had to really dig through the cramped space. So, if I am hard pressed for time (which I am all the time), I just use the next available bag. The one which is not within that organized mess.
Hey, I didn't realise how many bags I actually had until I collated while creating more space within that already cramped area. I cleared out the CLEO magazines which I used to have a subscription with. But since next month, I am renewing my subscription with them, since they offered a hefty discount (heck, who wouldn't want a 15 dollar off discount?!!) so I don't think I should be dwelling on past issues. However, I have yet to throw them coz obviously, they're still $$ and there were interesting stuffs to read plus a tonne of advice relating to us..GALS....So, one day lah, I just flip through almost 20 copies of the magz and compile the useful reading materials. heck, you'll never know if I am the person to look for to dish out some love advice!...
Sighz..so many things to be done! And they say staying at home is boring..
Alrite! I am SO proud of my newly organized bags which, I stacked them vertically to create more space for more bags. But since the shelves were pretty low..some taller bags had to be placed on the other side flat down. For the record, I managed to put all of them together!...So, the next time I want to grab a bag, I can afford to choose just like choosing some dress from a clothing rack!
But, I had to do some sacrifice. Throwing out some of them. But nope..don't worry lah, I haven't gone mad and throw some bags which can be used. The thing is..they had been used till beyond recognition..haha..! Nolah, you know how bags can be once they have been used frequently. It's the same with clothes too.
Well...sad to say, I STILL haven't surpass the average number of bags a girl around my age will hold..haha..It's below 30. Okay, the thing is..I am fussy when it comes to design and quality. I don't need to carry around a prada or LV to emphasise quality. It's just a trend that will come and go. Plus, I don't need people to scrutinise my bag to see if it's fake or real. Too irritating for me. Okay, bags don't exactly last forever either..but at least can do some withstanding like bulky items, heat and scratches. But, to me..it's still design lah..hee..
Okay, believe it or not....I didn't buy more than half of the bags. Well...what do you expect from a fussy person? Haha...a tonne of bags and clothes? We're so fussy tat in order for that item to be in our possession...it has to pass through some list of criteria! But anyhow...it still boils down to budget also lah and its usefulness.
So okay...the other bags were mostly as gifts as I got bags every year...without fail..and, some are free gifts which came with magazines or other stuffs. Others were given to me if they don't want the bags anymore but still, in good condition.
Then, a small proportion of it, I got them from the auctions. But unfortunately, when I received them, they weren't quite what I expected coz I guess of the long period of time the sellers had kept them. But the latest two...were in perfect condition still and I have used one of them..much to great admiration from colleagues who thought the bag might have cost quite a lot, based on its design.
So, okay....I am no longer a bag freak and yeah....I get bored easily with bags but I try not to get new ones too often either. Erm...judging from the lack of space even after I reorganize everything.....I may not need one for a very long time..hahaha
Btw..before you get offended or what..I do appreciate the gifts that I get lah even though I know I am bound to get a bag...more often, two bags from different groups of people. It's just sometimes, I don't get the chance to use them as erm....okay, let's just say...if you know someone well enough...you know what kind of bags they like. If not...then...in the cupboard lah.
Looking forward to finally having the novelty of choosing over my bags to go with my outfit! Yay!!!
