i brought back a new toy from singapore - it's a brand-spanking-new hot pink ipod shuffle. wow. it's usefulness on long train and bus rides cannot be adequately described, it's just..... SWEET. it doesn't hurt that it fits nicely in a small purse. sure, not much control on what you goes through the earphones, but sometime losing some control can be quite refreshing - just reacting to what the shuffle throws at you. of course it'll help if you put some really groovy tunes in it. as with all our toys, this one gets a name too - "pinky"!
as i was raving about pinky, my 4 year old 1st generation ipod mini "hao-e blue" started to get jealous. it was working fine before we left for singapore; it'd worked so well for 4 bloody years unlike steph's which broke 1 year after. i was so proud of it - bought directly from apple hq in silicon valley ok. so somehow the hard disk broke - hao-e blue is now working at 1/3 capacity. argh. we'd struggled to reset, and format the hard disk but to no avail. so no choice lor, it's going into semi-retirement. only the best and grooviest tunes were uploaded - so it's rain, khalil, FIR. aww.... hope it will miraculously "wake up" one day, rid itself of this depression and all will be well.
