~ nintendo DS lite ~
as an early birthday present for me, yesterday ari and i bought a Nintendo DS Lite. it’s been a while since i bought a handheld console. my last one was (i think) a white GBA that i used to play a lot during the one-hour commuting to work when i was still in the NYC. now that the distance between my bedroom and my office is only a set of stairs away, i don’t really need a commuting tool anymore. but we thought, a gaming console and a good fun game would be a help if i were having long labor in the hospital later this June… he he he.
unfortunately, DS Lite doesn’t have much color choice. i didn’t like both blue, and the pink is way too bright for me. so my choice was only the white or the black. it seems that everyone likes the white better, since it was sold out at the store that we went to. so, i got the black one instead.
after charging and setting it up, i spent about 5 hours last night, playing Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin… uh oh. it’s definitely a good distraction. maybe, too good.

Oooooo, you have to get Electroplankton… It’s fab! Gue juga lagi mikir-mikir apa beli PSP yah, buat commute gue yang kini menjadi 4 jam sehari…
wah, i think a PSP would totally be worth it. hand-held console is perfect for commuting, really :)
This will be a good distration until your labour days, but trust me, when you are in labour, this will be the last thing on your mind… my crushed fingers are proof of that. Make sure Ari works out his fingers before june.
wondering… itu stylus buat apaan ya? Bisa gitu main gamenya pake stylus? Tic Tac toe?
buat main game, chatting etc. layar yang bawah itu touchscreen. dan lumayan banyak game buat DS yang mainnya bisa pake stylus… kayak pake mouse gitu deh.
duh senengnya, gw selalu menahan diri beli console kaya gini terutama inceran gw psp :)
yah, emang addicting! ati2 aja… gue jadi liburan gambar tembok gara2 ketagihan main game :P
uwaaaa… so slick so slim so beautiful…so dream! :P
such a wonderful birthday present Thal ;)
it’s actually to accompany me in the hospital before and after birth. not sure if it will work, but so far, it gets me addicted to it :P
THis definitely will be really useful during the first six week after the baby’s born, when you’re (sort of) confined in bed. Better start to practice the skill of playing the nintendo while breastfeeding. When Noe was just born, I became addicted to audiobooks which i listened while breastfeeding, also, bedside laptop with wi-fi was really useful during the period.
ha, i didn’t think that i’d be needing this *after* the baby has been born. but you’re right, with all that rest and breastfeeding, having something that i can take to bed to entertain me sounds very useful! yay!
