The childish thing

I always think of myself as an enigmatic person. Or sometimes you can say a bit childish.

Of course enigmatic and childish doesn't exactly correlate, sentences wise, but i just couldn't think of any more better opening lines :p

What im gonna do here is to start by a quote that i found some while ago. Couldn't quite recall where i read it from.

"The only things that separates man from boys, is the price of their toys"


Everybody can go nuts. That, to me is the exact truth and nothing but the truth.

The reason why im quoting that is because i have just bought this:



Which is a watch (obviously), but its not your everyday watch. Its an Omega. Its an Omega Seamaster. Click here for the spec on Omega site.

*yes its not the real one. Do you think i could really afford a $5000 watch?*

Now for those of you who dont know, that is the watch that James Bond wears. The one that hides a laser underneath, the one that has bomb under the hood, the one that has the detonator hidden in its screw thingy, the one that can be used as grappling hook and among some other things.

I am a big fan of James Bond movie ever since i was a kid. Obviously i grew up in Pierce Brosnan era, and the one movie that i watch so many times and never get bored of is the Tomorrow Never Dies. Story wise, it isnt that good to be honest, but from gadget wise, it was one of the best. If you cant remember which one it is, its the one movie where Bond drive his BMW on a car chase through parking lot and he drives the car from the backseat of the car using his Ericsson phone.

That image stays with me for a long time. I thought it was the best thing ever at that time. I was so impressed that when i grow up, i chose HTC Touch Pro 2 as my favorite phone because i just love the styling of it. *see the pattern?

So.....

What makes you people who you are today? i'd imagine some things you buy today resembles a lot from what you have in your childhood? ;)

I'll close this one off with another quote. This time from the head of coffee and beverages Nestle Indonesia.

"As a child/student, you always have the best time of your life. But you never have money"


Indeed.

Signing off now, take care...
