Yes, after craving for it for the longest time (ok…just about 1 month+), it took me just 10sec to decide to sell it. I am talking about my HP 2133 Mini Note which I received when I renewed my MaxOnline contact with Starhub back in July 08. It took me 1 month to finally get my hands on it (after repeatedly out of stock and some mistake by the customer service officer who delayed my collection). I even got the leather case flew in from Hong Kong and ready to serve its new master. And I’ve got the RAM upgrade ready.

The moment I got my hands on it, I simply love it! It was not the fastest notebook (or netbook as some call it), and I expected it as it runs on VIA processor, but with the bum in memory (from 1GB to 2GB), it gives decent performance. I was so in love with it than I gave up bringing home my office notebook in favor of using this at home and on the move.

But after 1 month of usage, and with my other unfulfilled wish of owning a DSLR keep clouding my mind, I decided that the only way for me to get my hands on a DSLR is to sell my mini-note away. I’ve always wanted to be able to shoot great pictures and the only way I am going to do that is to own my own DSLR. In fact, I almost got it last year but decided to postpone it (for financial reasons too) later.

The fact that one of my colleague just grab herself a Canon 450D makes me wanna quickly get my hands on one. No, not a Canon, but a Nikon D60. It’s the DSLR I’ve been aiming for the longest time (since it’s launch in Feb this year). Yes, it’s no the best DSLR you can find, but for the money, it’s a great buy.

It took me less than a day after I listed it on eBay for someone to click the ‘Buy Now’ button, and another 24 hours later, it’s delivered to the hands of it’s new owner, along with the upgrades.

Sad in one way, but excited in another….so it’s bye bye 2133…and hello D60!
