birthdays continued
i'm lazy to upload incriminating evidence, videos and pictures and more, of the twins' happy 21st birthday. but happy birthday all the same, i'm glad you guys enjoyed yourselves and i hope you like the presents. i mean, who wouldn't like a sexy XBOX360 please.
it was interesting to go present hunting, which i was actively involved in for two days. traversing practically the entire orchard road and raffles city area, visiting every single shop in sim lim and lugging all assortments of nonsense presents around was really quite fun, despite the obvious energy-sapping. i was happy in the end, although a little disappointed that halo 2 has disappeared from xbox game shelves. i mean, how can you ever stop producing halo 2?!
i realised that on a personal level, i might not actually desire a game console for my birthday present that much. i mean, it would be really terrific, but school is coming up and i doubt i'll have that much time to play games, especially when they're on a new console and all. that said, of course i would really love it, but it would be a little wasted on me. pc games would be fantastic as well, but if i can download them for free, why buy? unless i've no hard disk space to save them of course. haha no! intellectual property is to be treated with utmost respect. guys do not take these words out of context.
when i was shopping for games, i realised that people might buy games that i wouldn't normally buy for me, if they were in my position. i suppose i sound like quite a sports fanatic, and people might buy me like fifa or virtua tennis. that's all very well and good, and that would be lovely. but i wouldn't buy something like that, mainly because i think that it's not worth spending so much on a game that eventually gets repetitive. they're games that end up being boring, and once you get the hang of beating the AI, it's just about improving your team/player in various ways. quite unlike a game with a plot, for example, oblivion (which i totally adore and drooled all over my keyboard while playing) or halo (which i adored just as much and drooled all over my cousin's xbox controller while playing).
so what games would i buy? two examples are above, but having no console at home other than my PC, choices are limited. dynamic games with plots or those that involve more than just getting the hang of how to beat the AI, which means racing games are out (especially since i'm not a car fan), and sports games, although they do have their appeal. other than that, i'm pretty open.
like the twins said, i don't have anything i need, and my wants are pretty much satisfied. if i really had to choose any present in the world, it could be a new nokia handphone, although i'm quite happy with my motorola razr, but it is a little old and un-user friendly. nokia rocks, motorola does not rokrs. i might enjoy a pair of tennis shoes or a new tennis racket, but the former is hard for someone else to pick without my feet being present, while the latter does cost quite a bit for a good one, and cheap rackets aren't really worth buying. i think i will need an external hard drive for school, but i'm not too sure about that yet. i'm not fussy about clothes so i don't have that many, again hard to pick out without my oh-so-magnificently-sculpted body there to try on.
my wallet is serving me excellently, as is my swatch. i'm not into music, neither do i love wearing a different pair of footwear every day of the month, unlike a lot of other people. i've a little bag for school though i think it may not suffice, but i hear the bags look terrible now so i'll have to pass. so how now brown cow? looks like whoever actually feels like buying me something will have to think really hard =)
right now the twins are definitely enjoying their dead or alive 4 (mmm i remember the whole objective of the game very clearly) or halo (owned). so happy birthday again guys and enjoy your presents to the max! especially the toys ;)
