Inspector Gadget

I'm thinking of getting a new cell phone for myself. No, nothing is wrong with it. I'm just bored with it at the moment. I have this bad habit of wanting to change my cell every now and then. I'm a slave to technology. I must have the latest in gadgets out there though half the time I can't afford them ... LOL! I've always been like this when it comes to technology. After all, I'm not called Spaceman Spiff just for the heck of it you know.

Mrs. Spiff: 'Urrmm, honey, you're called Spaceman Spiff cos you're as mischievous as that Spiff fellow!'

Well, ok, that too ... hehehe ... But I've always had this fascination with gadgets. I'm always lurking around forums that deal with technology and trying to keep up to date with the latest they have out here. And even my best buddy would seek my opinions whenever he wants to get some new gadget for himself cos he knows I'll probably know at least something about the gadget.

There have even been times where I actually bought gadgets just cos it was cool and not cos it was functional or anything .. LOL! After a while I would end up not using it and it'll just lie in my drawer at home somewhere gathering dust.

But that was all back in the times when I was a little more richer than I am today. With all things costing a lot more these days, my days of buying things on a whim are gone. These days I actually think very hard before I even buy bread, let alone gadgets! I'm a lot more prudent with my money. Even my cards are not used all that much these days. In fact I'm looking to change my card provider to one of those offering a 0% credit card balance transfers package out there and safe me a little bit more on interest.

But the wisest move would be to keep a check on my spending. And that really hurts cos there are a few gadgets out there that I've taken a keen interest in. I wonder if I send an email of my wish list to Santa he'll consider at least three or four of them. What? You think that's asking for too much? Ok, ok, how about just two then? LOL!
