What Would i like to buy ?
“E-Shopping Spree – If I have $500”
An interesting assignment today. if i had $500 what would you buy? i had never really actually purchase anything online before, as i think that it's kind of dangerous as i had heard from my friend that, they had actually purchase something online and had paid for it, but the product did not arrive. I believe that purchasing things online, not only we have to be careful, we also had to be alert and make sure that the website is a reliable one. What i had really always wanted was a Totto-chan, the Little Girl at the Window and Canon EOS Kiss X2 , if i had $ 500 i would have definitely purchase that. The book is really worth reading, and the reason why i would want to purchase the Canon EOS Kiss X2 is because i had always love taking photos, and i hope to bring my photography skills up to another level. don't you think beautiful pictures brings you to another dimension where it helps you to sooth your soul and mind.Beautiful pictures really touches people's hearts and bringing them into it and allow people to feel how the photographer feels at that time will taking the picture.
ITEM 1 : Totto-chan, the Little Girl at the Window
(Sg $5.00)
Totto-chan, the Little Girl at the Window is a children book written by Japanese television personality and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. The book was published originally as 窓ぎわのトットちゃん (, Madogiwa no Totto-chan) in 1981, and became an instant bestseller in Japan.
This engaging series of childhood recollections tells about an ideal school in Tokyo during World War II that combined learning with fun, freedom, and love. This unusual school had old railroad cars for classrooms, and it was run by an extraordinary man-its founder and headmaster, Sosaku Kobayashi-who was a firm believer in freedom of expression and activity. In real life, the Totto-chan of the book has become one of Japan's most popular television personalities-Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. She attributes her success in life to this wonderful school and its headmaster.
The charm of this account has won the hearts of millions of people of all ages and made this book a runaway bestseller in Japan, with sales hitting the 4.5 million mark in its first year.
ITEM 2 : Canon EOS Kiss X2

The other thing that i am going to buy is the DSLR camera. DSLR stands for digital single-lens reflex camera. It is a digital camera that uses a mechanical mirror system and pentaprism to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera.DSLRs are often preferred by professional still photographers because they allow an accurate preview of framing close to the moment of exposure, and because DSLRs allow the user to choose from a variety of interchangeable lenses. Most DSLRs also have a function that allows accurate preview of depth of field.

Part 3 : How this purpose different or similar to the purpose of any of the other resources i had found.
The other resources i had found is amazon - http://www.amazon.com/ and also those of personal blog who sell product and send it to you. These are other website where people could buy things online. After comments from friends and also forums, i had noticed that the products from amazon are mostly shipped from other countries, some of my friends who had purchased from there paid but did not receive their product, so there are pros and cons, therefore you have to be very careful while purchasing online. Firstly, you have to make sure the person you had purchased from is a user who is trust able. As for E-bay, some of the products are from Singapore and that it takes shorter time to get your hand on the product.
My Reflections.
After this assignment, i had actually learn alot, as in how to buy things online and what are the things i have to take note and look out for. I had also ask around, asking friends which are the safer website to order and buy thing from. There are also quite a few things i have to take note while purchasing things, as some of these online shopping only accept visa, MasterCard or some which only accept cash when they give you what you have ordered.
