Random ramblings of mine
Hey, guys.
Guess what? I’m getting an iPod Touch. I’m sure I had some not-so-great opinions about it, but I was also sure that I was going to swallow my words. As I always do. (Nya orang tua, jangan kuat mengucapkan, kebalikan jadinya!!) So it’s happening. I’m buying one. I was about to buy one this afternoon, after work, but work hours got a bit stretched, and I also had to drop by my aunt’s house for a bit, so I couldn’t make it to AV Electronics, in Kiulap, in time.
QQ(eStore?), also in Kiulap, didn’t have it in stock as well, and I had to order and wait a week. Which is not good. I hate waiting. I hated waiting for my Mazda to be released (but it was a good wait), and I simply hate waiting.
What I also hate at the moment, is how I have to use the UBD/ITB road to get home because Giant’s collosal opening was this morning. Seriously. It’s like the big chunk of a store (which is smack dab in the middle of residential area) was going to disappear if the whole of Brunei didn’t go there on its grand opening!!
I want to go there, but not today, or maybe not this month. I have to let the hype die down. I HAVE TO. No matter how cheap everything is there. I did gawk at the fact that they sell a bag of rice for B$9.90, though. And the air mattress at less than B$15. But I can’t be bothered to queue up just for that. I can’t even be bothered to wait in the long queue to get home! Why? Because I hate waiting.
So Giant will have to wait. I won’t. I’m going to AV Electronics to buy an iPod Touch. Which, I forgot to mention, is all Mumtaz’s fault. She has one, and she was just showing me one of the Tag Heuer watches that she had her eyes on, and she let me use her iPod Touch. I fell for it. So I’m buying one.
Oh. To think that people are flocking over Giant because it’s opening its massive doors, so Gadong must be a bit void of cars, BOY, WAS I EVER WRONG. Which makes me wonder, see, just how many are there living in tiny Brunei? It took me half an hour just to get a parking space. And ten minutes for me to walk from my parked car to my lunch. And I have 75 minutes lunch break.
It doesn’t help that today was payday for Government servants. (Mine, to my surprise, was out on Thursday.)
I have a barbecue to go to in Jerudong, so I’ll update again some time soon. Bye!

Ahhh it took me a while to find out how to drop comments lol! I was clicking on random things til I finally clicked on the title. Yes, blonde I know
Anyways I so understand what you mean about waiting; I absolutely hate waiting for something, if I know I want something, I want to go out and just get it! My mom always tells me off for rushing into things, like buying something from the first shop just cause it has what I want, instead of comparing it with other stores lol.
So, lemme know what the touch is like, I’ve not had the opportunity to play with one yet hehe
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Fxxxxxx

Same here, F. Lol. I initially hovered over the title but it looked like it can’t be clicked on. But then I tried again and here I am. Lol.
I wanna know how the iTouch is like as well. Hehe. Give us a review with full details k? Haha demanding. But seriously I wanna know if it’s worth buying hehe and I trust your judgement. ;P
Btw, I’m ashamed of myself but I’ve been to Giant. It is enormous. (But it’s no The Mall haha) Went there a couple of days after the grand opening. I know, I’m such a Bruneian. Lol.

F, worry not. This time, it’ll be easy. Haha.
Anyway! I HATE WAITING WITH A PASSION! Haha. My mom tells me off too! It’s funny. I like to buy my things when I see them in shelves. Haha.
The iPod Touch is great!
War, demanding banar ko ani! Haha. It’s worth it, but just buy it when you have money to spare.
I’ve been to Giant the second day it opened! My aunt wanted to go there, when she was at my house, so we did! I think all of it is just hype. I don’t think it’s all that. Haha.
