I was impressed to see my friends paying their bills at the restaurant counter with smart watches. And I wished to wipe the smirk off their faces after they discovered that I still don't own one.
Should I get one Apple smart watch for Christmas? Is Samsung gear a better choice? On the other hand, there is also this fantastic Nintendo Switch which I am also considering to buy. But hold on a second, have I just heard the Dyson V10 vacuum cleaner has a special offer right now?
As consumers, it seems you are deemed easily caught in the race driven by the ever expanding temptation around you. Having the money to buy is only part of the solution. Reading through surveys and browsing through Youtube reviews in order to make smart remorseless choices is the key!
Aw....welcome to this new age dilemma :)
In retrospect, I remember life was much easier in the late 80s when I was still a kid. The craze at that time was a portable handheld electronic game console called Game & Watch, produced by the company Nintendo and designed by its employee Gunpei Yokoi. Having such a game console at that time really pushed your popularity ratings to the top in the primary school. We used to gather during school recesses just to share and play them with other schoolmates. Thanks to my parents, my elder brother and I used to own 4 of these and we really had our share of fun with these devices.
I was a bit nostalgic when I was back in Malaysia last summer. After rummaging through the things in my parents' storeroom and guess what I found - a Popeye Nintendo Game & Watch! I tried to clean it, changed the polarizer filter, installed 2 fresh mercury batteries and to my surprise, the LCD screen started to lit, followed by the MIDI tones of the game when I pressed the "Start" button. And it was a delight to see the characters like Popeye, Brutus and Olive came to life as I played.
"Still got it!"
I smiled when I controlled Popeye to punch Brutus to the corner, snatched the can of spinach (while avoiding the sword fish), powered up, hit Brutus to the sky and saved the girl of his life - Olive :)
Let me share some photos of it, and let me enclose also some fun facts of Popeye and his can of spinach with a link below:

如今，孩子们（和成年人）都受到各种娱乐和信息设备的轰炸，而现在最常见的设备是手机。让我大吃一惊的是，在2019年，手机用户的数量预计将达到46.8亿（约占世界人口的67％)。除此之外，还有智能电视，电脑台式机，笔记本电脑，智能平板电脑，智能手表，视频游戏机和其他智能创新产品等都在市场频频推出。
当我看到好朋友们用他们的智能手表在餐厅柜台支付账单时，我心里佩服得很。随着他们得知我还没有有拥有一个智能手表，以一副很不屑的眼神看着我时，我顿时想一手把
他们得意的假面都给我卸下来 :)
想想，我应该为圣诞节购买一款Apple智能手表吗？三星是否会是更好的选择？另一方面，还有这个Nintendo Switch游戏机，我也在考虑购买。但是稍等一下，我刚刚听说Dyson V10吸尘器有折扣？
作为消费者，您似乎很容易被周围不断扩大的诱惑所驱使。有钱购买只是解决问题的一部分而已。调查和浏览Youtube评论，以便做出明智的选择才是关键！
噢....这个就是新时代的烦恼 :)
回想起来，80年代末，当我还在上小学的时候，生活是如此的简单。当时的热潮是一款名为Game＆Watch的手持电子游戏机，由任天堂公司生产，员工Gunpei Yokoi设计。当时在小学，拥有这样的游戏机会将你的受欢迎度大力提升。我们常常在学校小休时聚集，与其他同学分享和玩这款游戏机。还真感谢父母亲，大哥和我曾经拥有4个游戏机，在我们的童年添了不少欢乐，也交了不少猪朋狗有友。
去年夏天我回到马来西亚时，心中有点怀旧，就开始翻找父母储藏室里的东西，猜猜我发现了什么 - 大力水手任天堂游戏机！我试着清理它，更换了偏光滤镜，安装了2个新的水银电池，令我惊讶的是，当我按下“开始”按钮时，液晶屏开始亮了起来，还播出游戏的MIDI音乐。看到大力水手，布鲁图斯 (Brutus) 和奥利弗 (Olive) 在眼下开始动起来是一件令人振奋的事。
“我还是像以往一样厉害！”
我控制着大力水手，将坏人（布鲁图斯）逐渐迫到角落，接住了菠菜罐（还避开了剑鱼），强力化再把坏人打飞，并出成功救出了爱人 （奥利弗） :)
让我在这里分享一些照片吧！
