I'm sitting here ar 10 pm in the night.. feeding mosquitos at the campus canteen and I'm stuck waiting for my download to finish - which is one and a half hours away from finishing, if lady luck smiles on me - and i'm thinking, what should i do. And I was sitting here wondering about something and I'm stumped, so I decided to post this and ask for enlightenment from you guys.
You see, the main problem - or dilemma - here is that I do not know how I should spend ( or not spend ) the money that I will be receiving in a week or 2 from now ( an account receivable, my accountant-to-be frens ^_^ ). From the account receivable, of course i'm keeping the bulk of it to finance my studies and for emergencies and also my travel/purchasing plans. But I decided that i wanted to take some money out to spend for something - limit is RM 500. I have a few options, but the problem is, as most of u have figured out by now, is that i dont know which one to choose. I need your help and opinions guys/girls. I'll list out the options and reasons below. HELP ME!!
Option 1: New Soundcard and Spanking new Speaker system.
Argument for spending:
Well you all know I love music. Listening to MP3's and such... so for a few semesters now i've been suffering with a cheapskate 2 piece USB powered speaker that sucks in sound and also relying on integrated sound. So i felt like having a good sound system with good sound output to ease my lust for music.
Option 2: A new handphone (budget one)
Argument for spending:
Those of you who have witnessed the tormented soul of my handphone know what I'm talking about dont you guys/girls. The phone is only 2 years old but the screen is cracked in 3 places, the headphone jack is partially destroyed, the body is lacking some pieces of plastic (by the way girls, I'm still using the same old casing from 2 years ago - see how loyal i am ^_^). And the keypad is dying on me. Sometimes is so difficult to sms that I want to just press the call button and call no matter how expensive it is. And reception is getting poorer by the week. I have a feeling its gonna die soon.
So I was just thinking about changing to a new phone. Not an expensive one with 2-megapixel camera that has expansion slots and can play MP3s for hours and is orange in color. NOpe. I'm just looking for a cheap one that i could afford. Camera or no camera doesnt matter but its at least gotta have a colour screen. Thats all I ask. So would this be a better idea?
Option 3: Ipod ( although have to top-up with ang pow money and table gambling wins during CNY - if i win la )
Argument for spending:
Dont think i need to explain it rite? the option speaks for itself
Option 4: Keep it for my trip/emergency.
Nuff said. You guys should know wat that means
Okays so... help me guys.. or some other comment would be wonderful too. Any suggestions?? sigh.. dilemma.

XFX GeForce 6600 512MB DDR2. Would set you back S$233.
hmm. the ipod a bit susah ain't it? if u feel like spending, options 1 or 2 should be good. if u want a cheap damn basic colour screen phone, nokia3100 is okay. 300plus bucks. else, listen to weihan =P
I'm still wondering how a Nokia LCD screen could crack when it has the casing as primary protection for the screen, and it's kind of made from hard plastic.
i vote for the sound system. that never goes wrong. won't fall/get stolen unlike the other two.... downside,,, girls usually won't appreciate
hhmmm.... i seee.. maybe i'll go wit da budget hp.....any remaining money i'l go eat with it hahaha thanks guys
priority wise. 1.hp 2. sound system 3.trip/emergency 4.ipod too late a vote altho(justine here)
