An investment of sorts

So, I finally decided to get the iPad. Yes, not exactly an early adopter. A few months back, I decided to go for the MacBook Air rather than the iPad when I had the choice between the two. Did I regret it? Not a jot! The Air was more relevant to my work and since having it, my productivity has definitely gone up. Very mobile and does what one expects of a notebook twice it size does.

During the weeks leading up to Irfan's birthday, I have been asking him what he really wanted as a birthday present. He kept mentioning the iPad. A couple of weekends before his party, we went to another party at KLGCC and Irfan saw a few children playing with their iPads and he has been on and on about it ever since.

It happens that Idlan had an assessment the this week, so, we decided to delay the iPad until tomorrow. So, I went out to get the iPads earlier today right after work. I got it all set up, ready for the unveil tomorrow evening. So far I loaded up will all the usual stuffs from my account, Plants vs Zombies HD of course. I also set up the twitter client as Anita was planning to sign up later on. I think she has already got one but has never been active. She wanted to sign up for Facebook this time around as well. So, it looks like it will be a long weekend for all of us.

Since I will be away most weekends in March, we might take a trip tomorrow for the weekend. Just the four of us in our van, with the iPads of course. And of course, you know what I used to write this entry with ......

Oh! So posh!

iPad? Rubbish bin?Brought the boys to Pavilion yesterday, since I had to hop round the corner to sort my credit card payment. Thought I would take my camera along to see what the decor was like there. Suffice to say I was disappointed. There was hardly anything, apart from a few decorated trees here and there. THere were not much in the way of Merdeka celebration either. Put it this way, the Ipoh Municipal would have closed the shopping centre if it were located in Ipoh - they insisted on all shops there displaying the National Flag - Jalur Gemilang - at the front of their establishment.

On the way back, I noticed that somebody just stacked away an empty box of iPad at one of the rubbish bins. A quick look around for cameras to make sure it was not a candid camera prank, I took the snap. Oh! So posh!
