It's not about Practicality

It's about my stuff can. Frankly, that's why boys go after crazy cars and girls go after a small little bag that cost more than a diamond.


The Bugatti Veyron: top speed: 407 km/h, 0-100 km/h: 2.5 secs, *200-300 km/h: 9 secs!*, Quad turbo-charged W-16 engine with 1000bhp... When you have the money to buy this car, it's no longer about racing to the next traffic light in Singapore or blazing down the highway in Malaysia. It's not even about going to Sepang and have a ride in the circuit. It's about my car can. i dont care whether i need to drive at that speed or not.


The GeForce 8800 Ultra: 681 million transistors, 786 MB of graphics memory, SLI capable, Shader model 4.0... It's not about playing com games at 2560 x 1600 with everything set to ultra high and be happy about it. It's about my com can play it at 2560 x 1600 and be happy about it.

BUT, i dont have a GeForce 8800 Ultra. Nor do i have a Bugatti Veyron. So everything will have to stay in the mind and kept in the mind. Until i have the financial power. Sigh.

Perhaps it's just the insatiable human wants that drives people insane between distinguishing what is our need and what is our want. So it ends up being my stuff can, and not my stuff need to.
