My Top 5 Treat List

It is the time of the year, where I will plan for something before the year ends. This is what we used to call azam baru in school, and this time I have my 5 top treat list already firmly in mind. I have to tattoo them strongly in mind, as I believe in "What I have in mind, I will have in front of my eyes". To further give myself a push, I have tuned my heart to believe that "If you think you can, only you can make it cannot".

(1) My Treat No. #1

The first treat in my list will be to get myself one of the most important assets in my life; a computer. I am looking forward to having a Dell Inspiron 13 laptop this year. I have been using desktop PC all this while, either at home or in office. The first thing that captures my eyes about Dell Inspiron 13 is the exterior smooth round edges and crisp clean lines features. (amended)

I think it looks elegant in Obsidian Black, sleek in Alpine White and inspiring in Cherry Red. My favourite color is the inspiring Cherry Red, liking it as much as ex-Miss Singapore Ris Low and Puah Chu Kang loving loud colours that shouts BOOMS!

The Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology is able to deliver 50% more performance that enables me to multi-task at ease, without interuption and processing down time. With its enhanced wireless supports and the Dell™ Webcam Central, there is no problem if I blog in a group at Starbucks. Non-speckies like me would love the 13.3 inches screen, large enough for me to clearly see my family on the screen during video chat. What's more, by adding an ATI Radeon™ HD 4330 graphics card, I can experience and enjoy true high-definition cinematic experience by just hooking up to my 42 inches LCD TV using the one-cord HDMI connection.

Therefore, this Dell Inspiron 13 laptop will certainly give a boost to my aspiration to become an active blogger, where I can eat, shop, move and chat with and from my laptop. I can now enter Nuffnang contest, upload into Innit and update my blog at the convenience of my fingertips.

(2) My Treat No. #2

For my second treat, I would go for what I like to do often; travelling. I would like to make a trip to Dell's home country, the United States of America. It is everyone's dream to set his foot on this "Land of Opportunities". Even before thinking of buying a plane ticket, I need to get the most difficult entry pass ever; the US Visa from the US Embassy at Jalan Tun Razak. Nevertheless, just by imagining myself getting splashed at Niagara Falls, standing proudly on top of Statue of Liberty, walking at the edge of Grand Canyon Skywalk and being a kid again at the Disneyland would push me to work harder towards my dream.

(3) My Treat No. #3

Making the long flight to the United States would best be done by treating myself to a comfy seat on the new double-decked Airbus A380. It will be a totally new experience, as we are used to the tight and uncomfortable 3-by-3 seating configuration used in our low-cost carrier. It will be proud to also know that a Malaysian company, Composite Research Technology Malaysia is part of the supply chain for Boeing A380.

The new generation Economy Class seat will make my 23 hours flight seem short and entertaining with over 1000 channels of movies, audio and TV on a 10.6" digital widescreen. Even if work interupts my leisure briefly, it would not be a problem as every seat has its own laptop power supply and USB connection, allowing working on documents, viewing of videos and pictures from my laptop or portable devices. I might consider for an upgrade to the Business Class seats to get the widest leather seat that unfolds to the largest full-flat bed for a comfortable and rejuvenating night’s rest.

I would choose the window seat and make sure I can have a good glimpse one of the building I admired most; Burj Al Arab in Dubai.

(4) My Treat No. #4

By just mentioning the name Burj Al-Arab, many people may not give you a response. But when you show them the picture, everyone will agree that this awe-inspiring building qualifies to be the world's most prestigious and only 7-star hotel.

I personally like the science and beauty of architecture. On my way back to Malaysia, I would make a transit at Dubai, and treat myself to a night at Burj Al-Arab, and be treated like a king, or at least a prince. It costs around RM7,000 for a Deluxe One Bedroom Suite with beautiful views of the Arabian Gulf. I think it is good value for money, in return for the luxury of a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce, discreet in-suite check in, private reception desk on every floor and a brigade of highly trained butlers who provide around-the-clock attention. We know that elsewhere, only superstars and famous footballers can get such treatment.

(5) My Treat No. #5

I am looking for a good replacement for my old faithful Perodua Kancil that has been serving me for almost 5 years. It is rather a hard and difficult move to part with an old "friend", but I have fallen in love with Volkswagen Beetle when I first saw it on the road in Petaling Jaya almost 4 years back.

I would love to get myself the new Volkswagen Beetle, and it will be the number #5 in my treat list. I really hope our Bursa Malaysia can help to make my dream list come much sooner.

The car is actually very cool to be in, no matter if it looks more suitable for my partner. I especially like the exterior features, and you won't find another car that will want to clone its classical curves styling design. The good thing compared to its earlier generation is the quietness of its engine. My top pick is the striking Gecko Green colour.
