Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. -Max Ehrmann, Desiderata

own a gadget

August 9, 2008

We so need a computer right now. Not so much as to play games with, but for managing our finances, and of course to blog. ;) I’m becoming an blog addict! Help! I can’t stop. There’s just so many things you can learn on the net. And it’s so much fun talking to people through blogs and online forums.

So back to why we need a PC. My wife is great with money. Me? I tend to spend it all. I have no idea where it goes, but it’s all gone. Since I’m so lousy managing my finances, my beautiful wife handles all my money and bills. She just gives me my baon (allowance) for the day, and I’m all set. She has this excel file where she inputs some figures here and there, and like magic, it computes my savings and remaining allowance. How great is that! She saves it in a flash drive, much like tape drives back in the days, so she always has a copy in hand. And with the iPhone 3G purchase temporally set aside, we might just buy a new laptop instead.

Our company has this own-a-gadget scheme where you can pass a quotation for a gadget, like a PC, and when you qualify and there are slots are available, the company gives you a cheque to purchase it. You pay the company through monthly salary deduction with your prescribed terms of payment, either six, twelve, or eighteen months! I just hope there are slots left!

Secure the laptop instead of the iPhone 3G. Oh well, blogging is sort of engaging especially if you have passion for writing. Or even if none, it’s so therapeutic and being in the net is so helpful (comes with responsibility and discipline, too). =)

It’s soo good being able to share and get support from other people. And making new friends is a bonus!

caryn: We’re keeping our fingers cross! As we have left our old desktops at our parent’s place, a laptop or UPMC will be better for us.
