iNiki, iWant, iMac. iGot.
I suppose the headline of this blog post says it all. Then again, I’ve been Twittering and Facebooking so much about it that I might as well have shouted about it and announced to the whole world. Yes, I got myself an iMac.
I meant to blog about this on Monday (busy weekend and I only got it on Friday evening) but problems with my blog meant that I was having a hard time trying to fix it and sorting it out. But all is well now! So I can share the new love of my life and my joy with you.
TADAH!
Yes, it is a 27″ iMac and it’s so beautiful!
Truth be told, this is a bit of an indulgence. I mean, since my desktop PC died last year, I had meant to get a replacement but I got so busy and I was still trying to pay off my credit cards so I didn’t spend too much time on it. I had my laptop after all. But then last week, when Ian and Ivy ordered their Macbook Pro, I was so tempted to get one too. But practicality got the better of me (I am a Virgo after all), I decided that getting a MacBook Pro as well was too much of an indulgence considering I already had a laptop. So I looked into the iMac instead and well, you now know what happened.
I went around asking friends, Tweeted about it and I don’t remember getting a single – Don’t get it (short of one but I think he was saying it in jest). I even asked Dad who I thought would stop me, but the conversation went something like this over dinner:
Me: Thinking of getting an iMac.
*waiting for mum to roll her eyes and dad to grumble*
Dad: Get lah. You’ve always wanted a Mac anyway.
*surprised by jumping for joy inside!*
I was on leave from work that Friday and then left after lunch to head to Bukit Bintang Boys School to teach the kids how to do the Glee Flashmob dance with Zain. By the time I got home that night, I was carrying the heavy box into my house. Couldn’t wait!
So yes, that is my story. I want to thank all the millions (okay lah, hundreds) of people who gave me advice. One, in particular, directed me to a video. I was wondering what exciting thing I would learn about the iMac from this video. Well, apparently, I learned how to unbox it.
So, in mockery tribute of SmashpOp’s video which you can watch here, I created one of my own which I edited for the first time using iMovie! Woot!
