Thought I should compose a list of items I would like to own in the near or far future. Priority levels are quite arbitrary, to be honest. Let's say 1-5 with 1 being "get if I'm rich" and 5 being "I'll save up to buy this ASAP". In between, there may be discretion based on concerns like space in my home.
Large Items
| Item | Description | Priority | Est. Price (SGD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flair Espresso Press (Classic/Signature) | Between the 58, Pro, and Classic, I think this one suits my needs the best. I'm not that big on coffee... Just one a day at most. | 4 | $300 |
| Eames Lounge Chair | I may get a replica one from Ruma because I do have a cat that is known to terrorize leather so I'd like not to drop a month's salary on the actual Herman Miller, and this brand ships from Malaysia, which is near enough. | 4 | $600+ |
| KORG Miku Stomp Pedal | It's out of production, so it may only get more expensive on eBay. I don't think I'd like to spend too much money on effects pedals, and I already own a Zoom G1X four which is practically all I need for effects... So this one's just for novelty. On that note, I'd like to get a meowing cat or frog pedal too, I've seen those around. That'd be fun. | 3 | $1000+ |
| Fiio Snowsky Echo Mini/ Hiby R1 | A digital audio player, which I might consider if I actually want it. I'm not an audiophile but I'm a staunch wired earpieces believer, to the extent that I use IEMs. I might come closer to considering it if I find myself using a phone that doesn't have an audio jack. | 2 | $100 |
| Unicomp Model M Keyboard | The iconic buckling spring keyboard originally associated with IBM. I am a big fan of the original white colour, although the new one in black appears to have some hardware upgrades. Shipping is a bitch. I don't need more keyboards but y'know. | 3 | $300+ |
Books and Video Games
Nowadays, I mainly read physical books and I play games on Steam. This functions as a reading list too.
| Item | Description | Est. Price (SGD) |
|---|---|---|
| Ulysses (Gabler Edition) | I heard this was the definitive copy and I like the cover. | $40 |
| Moby Dick (Norton Critical Edition) | I have read the book online, but I'd like one for the archives replete with footnotes and illustrations, if possible. I was pointed to this. | $60 |
| Akira 35th Anniversary Box Set | Dude, AKIRA is kino. I really love the illustrations of the comics. | $350+ |
| The Art of Computer Programming Box Set (Knuth) | Mostly want this to have on the shelves. I do appreciate what Knuth has done. | $350+ |
| Blood Meridian (Cormac McCarthy) | Sounded cool. | $25+ |
| A Pattern Language (Christopher Alexander) | I thought this might be a good book to study. It seems to contain information relevant to fields I'm interested in. | $100+ |
| Monster Hunter: Wilds | Of course I want this... Jesus it's expensive | $100 |
