I have never felt anxious about exams because I already know my outcomes. I know what I can do and what I can't; I just live with it unlike SOME people I know who try to memorize as many answers as possibly just so they'd get good grades.
Anyway, instead of fretting of my grades like a normal Asian should, I'm more anxious about getting a new laptop. I have two choices in mind right now: Alienware M14x and hp Pavilion dv4.

| Alienware M14x |
- 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM Processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.4GHz w/ Turbo Boost 2.0)
- Windows® 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit (English)
- 14.0" (35.56 cm) WLED HD+ (900p) display (1600X900)
- 8GB2 Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz
- 1TB 5400RPM Hard Drive
- 2 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce®GT 650M using NVIDIA Optimus™ technology
- Slot Load 8X DVD+/-RW Drive with DVD+R double layer write capability
- 2.92kg
Of course, the main reason why I even considered it was because it's a gaming laptop. Perfect for RPGs, great graphics and decent sound; it's all I need in a laptop. Since I only play offline, I think it's a waste for me to get this laptop. I have very low self-esteem and I'm not very good with people so I can't battle online, I'd panic if something goes wrong and I- and probably the rest of the players- would blame myself when my team loses.
Tell me that a girl like me shouldn't get a laptop like that because it'd just be wasting.

Compared to M14x, seeing Pavilion dv4's processor speed at 2.5 GHz makes my heart ache a lot. This looks like your average laptop; plain, boring. It is affordable though, about HALF the price of M14x. My parents would consider getting me this laptop if I asked them since it's only about RM2500. If I work hard and be stingy enough, I could even save enough to buy it!
Tell me to get this one, since it's something a girl like me should have: plain, affordable, plain.
Ah, I need some comments... I'm always indecisive like this. I really want M14x, but if I think about it economically... T^T BUT I STILL WANT IT...! Anyway, give me your opinions.
I will not be able to sleep tonight, I'm sure of it. I'll be tossing and turning in bed, thinking about which laptop I should get and how I can earn money fast enough to get myself the one I want. ~!@#$%^&*()_+ It's exam month too!
Unless my current laptop 'accidentally' falls out my room window, I don't think that my parents will listen to my proposal for a new laptop. Hmph. One time, my siblings and relatives even signed a petition asking dad for an air-conditioner in the hall and he just looked at our signatures, said "meh" and went back to lazing around.
I can't complain much. My parents are already kind enough to buy me an air ticket to Australia as a gift for my 16th birthday. Asking for a new laptop when they've already spent so much is kind of rude and bratty... Hmm... I guess I'll do enough part-time jobs and earn as much as I possibly can; here's the ironic part of things: my mom doesn't want me working part-time yet she complains that I spend too much of dad's hard-earned money.
It's late.
Leave your comments! or just talk to me when you see me.
