The obligatory birthday post.:)
There was a funny conversation at home just now when I was getting prepped for work. Ling had laid out two presents on the bed; one was a new polo-shirt (I love these!), and the other was a small box of about 5 by 5 inches. Did the birthday kiss thing, and went about examining the box.
I feigned a disappointed look at the box, and said to her:
"Dear, where’s my new iPad???"
Ling said in a small voice:
"I did think about buying it for your birthday, dear – but I was afraid you’d say something about not supporting the Evil Empire. :( "
I grumbled a little in response, but under the breadth.
And about 30 minutes later while driving to work (she was getting the car today), she out of the blue said again:
"Darling, I’m sorry for not buying you the iPad…"
To which I started laughing! No, I don’t want the iPad.
On the other hand, one of those soon to be released Windows Mobile 7 Tegra pads look really good though…:)
Happy birthday, bud. I just celebrated my 32nd birthday last week and considered treating myself with an iPad. As you know, I resisted the temptation (for now).
Blessed birthday ChekYang! :) Thanks for all the entertaining posts and all your techno advice! God bless you as you head into another year as a daddy to Hannah.
No ipad, but do you have an iphone??
Thanks Matt.:) The iPad looks really nice; but it’s just too large at 10″, and no I really don’t care to support the Evil Empire.:)
Hi Lisa; thanks for the birthday-wishing.:)
I dumped my iPhone in April this year. I didn’t want to continue supporting the Evil Empire.:)
