This month's edition of the Monthly Wishlist is back again, and today we'll be featuring the top ten items on our in-house marketing guru, Twenty06's wishlist. But before you venture beyond the jump, be forewarned that his list isn't exactly full of the conventional crap that wishlists usually comprise of. Just the way we like it!
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER, TWENTY06 WANTS... :
The Malaysia F1 Grand Prix Tickets
Not because I am an avid racing fan; more like because Jamiroquai is performing on the post race open-aired concert! I got to know about this on last month's Want List from Chapree. I'm a big fan of his but due to work commitments, I guess I have to give it a skip. I'll honor activities that bring food on the table more than anything.
Unless they bring in Prodigy...
Ed: Catching a glimpse of Jessica Michibata wouldn't be all too bad either, eh?
The Sony Alpha 900
Why not? I love photography. I've tested it and I like the full frame.
Although a lot of people would ask me to consider other brands due to the price and performance of the lenses, I believe photography is not just about the equipments. I'm starting to train the "eye" for shots with limitations on the gear (I'm currently using an Alpha 200 with an 18-250 lens and a F58AM flash). But the biggest reason why I stick to Sony; without a doubt is the community itself. Friends like albnok, George Wong and ahmike are some worthy of free teh tariks from me.
Try ask them what camera to buy. They will almost certain NOT tell you "GO FOR SONY" or something like that. Instead they'll go, "You should go and test every single brand you can. Then you choose which one suites you best. Don't be influenced to what people tells you.". And that's quality answer.
But the A900 remains a want for me. At least for the moment.
Racism to STOP!
Just the other day, I had a chat with a very old friend of mine from high school. As the conversation grew, he mentioned to me a case about people labelling the minorities being the "pendatang" and how much he despised the person for using that word.
Then I popped out a question to him just for a discussion: Look, I'm a Chinese. Based on their claims, I'm a "pendatang". What if I marry and converted into a Muslim? Will I still be a "pendatang"?
A Go-Kart
Karting use to be part of my favorite weekend past time until when I realized I was using too much money on it. The go-kart track in Shah Alam was my usual hang out. I would spend at least RM200-300 each time I go and more if there's an endurance race. I'm not very good, but I was improving.
I was tired of the imbalance performance of each kart. There's no such thing as "all karts are with same performance" cos if you choose one with problems, there's no more fun in it. There was a time when I was contemplating of buying a personal one. A used unit would cost as cheap as RM8,000.00.
That was when the missus made me choose either the DSLR or the Kart. And I had to choose something which I could bring home.
An iPhone 3G with the Unlimited Bandwidth Package
Having one just to play Facebook Poker on the go would be fun. I'm a PRO*100K now.
To be honest, I'm just sick and tired of the common problems I'm facing with my current PDA.
WinMo crashes.
Battery leaks.
No ring tones.
Spoilt keypads.
I hope the iPhone would be a better choice for someone who's on the go like me.
A Guitar
I use to play a lot back when wooing a girl takes a lot of effort. Name me any song and I can play it without even the need to get the chords. That ended when my brother left my acoustic guitar on the floor and my dad nicely placed his feet down on to the frets.
I lost my mojo and quickly got married after that.
Ok that's a joke.
But still, I would love to get my hands on one. Guitar, I definitely can play.
My singing however; is a different story.
A Gym Membership in an Exclusive Fitness Centre minus the Attitude Problem
Looking confident has been a necessity since my job involves meeting up with people. I mean who wants to meet up a guy who looks like a drug addict, if you know what I mean. I'm currently one of the members of those "men" gym in SS2. The crowd is awesome, I always feel limited with the amount of equipments available in that place.
And don't get me started on the smell of stale sweat. And the body odor. And the obscene 21SX moans and groans.
But exclusive gyms fare no better. There was once I went for a free trial at a gym in Menara Axis, PJ. A girl came up to me and told me off because I was wearing a worn out shoe without socks. She said everyone comes in properly equipped and if I don't comply I would have to leave.
I went for another one free trial in Jaya 33. But before I get to go in, the sales guy turned me off. He was hard selling about the gym packages asked me to sign up a 2 year plan before I go in. I told him to give me a minute, pretend to make a call, walk out and never come back.
I'm making fun of those people who runs the treadmill in Jaya 33. I call them the "hamsters" each time I pass by.
A Playstation 3, Street Fighter IV game and the console or fightstick thingy
Last few weeks during some launch, I had a chance to play SF4 against Wern Shen and Justin a.k.a. lokgotz from Chip.
I got owned. I got laughed. And I'm not happy. Now I want to practice and ask for a rematch.
A Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote
Although not perfect, this baby controls everything that can be set into it! The air conditioner. The TV remote. The stereo.
Why is it not perfect? Cos it can't control idiots. If it could, I will pause him, "jentik" his telinga 10 times and let him go. Every day.
A Squatting Toilet (NSFW)
I can hardly find any place with a squatting toilet anymore. Not in my office. Not at home. Don't seem to want to "come out" when I sit. So I do the most sensible thing I can think of in order to enjoy the moment; go to the toilet in The Gardens, Mid Valley.
Speaking of toilets, someone told me about this story about that someone being pissed drunk one night and he wanted to go pass some motion. So his friend offered to let him use his toilet in the condo.
Since he was pissed drunk, he shat way too far back and all over the toilet bowl. He lost his balance and sat on it.
He woke up in the morning with lots of dried stuff up his butt.
