Temptations
The problem with shopaholics is that they have many wants and are easily tempted. I have been shopping around for a MP3 player for a really long time but just have not made a decision on which brand to get. Of course I do have some ideas on which brands I would like to get and compared their features etc etc but just never felt this burning desire to buy. I simply resort to borrowing my brother's Creative Nomad MG II whenever I needed a MP3 player.
Anyway, before all of you decide I am running in circles, I went to the Creative fair today. My brother needed a new sound card and I decided to tag along to check out the MP3 players available. I had actually picked out two I had really liked which were the Creative Muvo TXFM 512MB and the Creative Muvo 2 FM. But being the super indecisive person that I am, I left without buying either. I was very very very very very tempted though to plonk down money for a pink or blue Muvo 2 FM. But I decided the time has not come for me to make such a purchase (ie I have no money!!!).
Its really horrible going for such fairs because the temptation is huge to buy. Can you imagine, holding the product you want in your hands and having to walk away from it!!! Horrible horrible feeling. But when I have the money and decide I can no longer live without a MP3 player, I will definately be buying one from the Creative Nomad family. I know there are other brands available and there will be those who disagree with my choice but let's just say that I am a fan of Creative products. Maybe because its a Singapore company and on some level, it does make me feel good supporting a Singapore brand that has made good in the global market. Doing my bit of patriotic duty you know. Or it could be my lovely experience with using my brother's seriously dated Nomad MG II. Whatever, but I do know I will have pink and blue Muvo 2 FMs floating in my dreams tonight!!! Sigh.

iPod! iPod! iPod!
Well the Creative Muvo ain't that bad either. Just that I found my mum's old 1.5GB model a little harder to use, hardware and software wise.

Cool! Support Creative! I do like their products. However, since I purchased so many songs from itunes in the US, I figure I might be inclined to the new ipod. I've been waiting around and not doing an impulse buy yet. I hope you get yours soon though =) let us know, hor!
