I (Still) Heart Lego

Was so ecstatic to see LEGO City exhibition at Senayan City last weekend. It was AWESOOOOMEEE..! I went to the shopping centre on Friday night just to go to Sony Ericsson store -got some problem with the PC Suite. That's all I wanted to do, I didn't think it would take more than an hour. But I found some interesting Christmas decoration on the way, there was this golden minimalist Christmas tree near the valet service and a HUGE Christmas teddy bear. The moment I saw it, I knew I had to take pictures! Aaand when I arrive at the atrium level, there's this enormous-sophisticated-fantastic LEGO City! I had seen the 'Lego City' sign when I was on the escalator, I thought it was just another Lego sale, well maybe with one or two house or Harry Potter Lego sample.. Hell I was wrong, there was a city miniature! With buildings, ships, planes, houses, lots of 'people', elevated train and much much more. I was so amazed. But since I didn't have enough battery on my cellphone that night, I had to go back the next day just to get pictures of the city. :)

It's been a long time since I 'touch' any Lego. The last time was because I had to tidy it up. My cousin played with it & God knows how much I'm scared I'm gonna lose it, especially the small or rare components. My cousin is a boy, thus not fond of tidying & organizing activities, let alone try to avoid throwing my Lego under the sofa -_-. It happens that I prefer to tidy up my Lego myself, because there are certain rules to follow and I don't think anyone will do it exactly as I do, hihi.. :P. I'd been playing it since I was on kindergarten I guess, my first Lego was a Duplo, Lego for toddlers. It consists of bigger block components, bigger minifigures and more colorful parts. Around the age of 6, I used to play Lego Basic, it belongs to my Grandparents, I only played it when I came to their house. I didn't find any complicated parts at that time, it was basically bricks, doors, windows & roofs. The brick was thicker than the ones I have now. The next Lego I own is a part of Legoland subtheme, I just know now that it's actually a part of Town theme. This kind of Lego got more itsy bitsy tiny & diverse parts. The first time I got it, I was awed to see the small brown luggage, those tiny rounded transparent parts, small stairway, broomstick, mop, frying pan, drawer, cupboard, flowers and much more.

After browsing about Lego, I just found out that they have vastly different collections now. I think they're a lot more specific to a certain theme, such as Harry Potter, Castle, Mars Mission, Indiana Jones, etc, while I prefer to have simple buildings such as houses, restaurants and airports. Oh, I used to wish for a gas station Lego, I don't know why.. :D. If I want to buy another Lego, maybe I could consider this Lego City's airport or these Lego. I just found them on the Top Rated Lego, I also saw one of them at the exhibition! Damn, this Lego craze will only add up to my already long wish list.. :P



Anyway, here's some stuff at Lego City that I really like:

The Long Awaited Phone

Dari jaman gue kuliah dulu, gue udah kepengen ganti HP, bukan karena udah rusak si, emang liat HP yang lucu aja.. :P. Sony Ericsson W-something, gue lupa persisnya yang mana, tapi seinget gue itu putih, kayanya si W900. Tapi ya menyadari kondisi keuangan yang ngga memungkinkan buat beli itu, gue niatin beli kalo udah kerja. Tentunya sekalian nunggu model terbaru, hehe. Setelah nyari-nyari model yang kira-kira gue suka, gue nemu seri Z610 pink! It's just so cute x) & gue lagi ngga kepengen yang warna putih. I've checked the reviews, specs & all, udah yakin buat beli, tapi pas liat dummy-nya di toko, keliatan kinclong banget. Not the kind of glassy that I thought it would be. Dan ukurannya juga agak gede. Sempet ragu juga karena kayanya model ini ngga bagus-bagus amat, masih bagusan review-nya K790. Gue udah nyaris beli K790, tapi yang ada cuma warna item, gue ngga gitu minat karena kesannya kaya bapak-bapak, hehehe.

Target selanjutnya, gue liat model ini
K550. Ooh, another white! :D Fungsinya udah cocok lah sama gue, ngga terlalu canggih, yang penting bisa buat telepon, SMS & ada kamera :P. Tadinya gue pengen beli yg 3G, kaya Z610 itu, tapi setelah gue pikir, gue ngga bakalan pake fitur itu juga. Dari jamannya GPRS aja gue ngga pernah manfaatin, cuma tes-tes kirim MMS waktu pertama kali tau operator gue nyediain layanan MMS. Secara gue selalu berasa keabisan pulsa & sekarang selalu bengkak tagihannya, jadi ya, cukup untuk telepon & SMS :D. Gue udah yakin banget ni pengen beli K550, tapi setiap gue nanya yang warna putih di toko, selalu ngga ada -_-. Katanya belom dateng, cuma ada warna item. Lama-lama ilfeel juga, mulai ngga minat ganti HP. And thank god my good 'ol Nokia 6600 is healed, sebelum gue pake 6600 lagi, gue sempet make Nokia 6111 & I'm not too fond of it. I hate the display, terlalu rame, warnanya norak, font-nya gede-gede & ngga bisa dikecilin, kameranya jelek. Tiba-tiba aja 6111 gue rusak display-nya & 6600 gue yang tadinya keypad tengahnya ngga bisa ditekan, udah bisa dipake dengan normal, it's miraculously healed..! Hihi..

After awhile, I moved on to S500, it's just seems right. Meskipun ngga ada warna putih/pink-nya, dia ada warna kuning. Pas gue liat di iklannya si kaya soft gold gitu, oke lah. Tapi kok kalo gue liat di video liputan di YouTube, lebih ke kuning ya. I hate the color & I don't think I want to buy the black one, it's combined with green, which is far from my favourite color. Nah pas gue liat perbandingannya sama W580 di GSMArena, W580 cuma tambah FM Radio. Jadi dua-duanya sama-sama punya Walkman,
hmm langsung berminat beli yang W580 & it's white..! :)

Agak bingung juga si, karena tadinya gue ngga minat beli yang seri Walkman, gue kan jarang banget dengerin lagu/radio di HP -ya karena HP gue yang sekarang ngga ada radio juga si-. Kecuali kalo lagu-lagu di radio lagi jelek & gue ngga ketiduran di mobil ya ;P. So what's the use of ipod? I'll just wait till one of them is released. Kayanya bakal penantian panjang lagi ni & jangan-jangan gue juga udah ilfeel duluan nunggu. I really like the one on the right though.. ;)

Update: ternyata S500 punya media player, tapi bukan Walkman. Perasaan waktu itu dibilangnya Walkman de :D
