the internet is just full of incredible things.

i know that the NM module teaches me the ICT (information communication techniques/technology) is more than a tool that conveniences lives- it creates social capital via interactions, bridges gaps, complicates governance, politics, surveillance, security, BLAH BLAH

but i am still using it (mostly) to keep in touch with friends or just to buy things that aren't available or are otherwise cheaper online.

(since i have quite a major problem buying things in stores cause i am so ngeow)

i was (supposed to be) taking a (short and brief) break in between studying and look what i found-

samurai umbrella.

i so have to get this for peter sensei man.

and i know what to get for my techie-camera-loving' dad for his birthday already (though it's still quite some time away):

camera lens? oh come on... even if i sawed off my foot in the cast my insurance couldn't pay for it....

it's a cup! HAHAHA

a pseudo-lens cup.

this will be the message in the birthday card:

'dad, i'm sorry im not making enough/any money,

and all this is the best i could get you...

happy birthday old man (haha)'

cute right? i wanna get one to use for myself too...

i really like window shopping online...

i could spend hours, browsing through stuff, bookmarking potentials, thinking whether other people would be interested to buy these things, whether i could organize sprees for them etc...

the internet is just really awesome,

and there's no way instore shopping can compare. bleah.
