Materialistic

Ignorance is total bliss. The less you know, the safer you are (in terms of gossip, office politics, company's safe combination numbers...) I even agree with the less you have, the happier you are. I admit I'm somewhat of a minimalist -- but with recent new funds (donated graciously by my company), I'm starting to get greedy.

No LV or GUCCI bags for me, I'm more of a tech geek.

First on the list:

iphone 3Gs. Yes, I've conformed and reserved one.

Eeepc. I love my current laptop, but its time to upgrade after almost 5 years.

Leica vs Ricoh. Tough choice indeedy.

Plasma. Do I really need a tv in my room? Ack~

Scooter. Something newer and less beat up?

In my chinky eyes these are considered 'luxury' items that I don't really need. If I had my parents mentality, I would store all that $$ away in a savings account and save it for my future, good for nothing kids. But that ain't never gonna happen.

So I do click that little box that says "put in shopping cart" or should I put the $$ into better use and continue to daydream about having those luxe toys... hmm~

Sometimes having less options is surprisingly less stressful.
