I wrote this yesterday but was waiting for the go-ahead from James. I wasn’t sure if he would be okay with me mentioning his name in this blog entry.
谢谢 :flowers:
Swap you the nano for your puppies anytime though.. :razz:

The delivery guy phoned me today during lunch, telling me that he has my express package and that he’s waiting for me in front of International Students Building No 2. I hurried off to find him, all the while trying to guess what was in the box. James had told me yesterday afternoon that I would be receiving a package soon. All he told me was that it was a box with papers inside. He wouldn’t tell me what he was sending me exactly.

He gave me a hint:
Environmental requirements
Optimum temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing

Me : “what?!” :confusion:

Back to the delivery guy. He was quite ‘friendly’ but what annoyed me at first was that the first words he uttered upon seeing me was : “You look so Chinese !” ( he said it in Chinese of course..)
Not even a Hello. :???:
Apparently, he had tried to guess from which country I’m from when he saw my name (on the package) but my full name seemed a bit too long (5 words) and too strange for him.
He also complimented me on my spoken Chinese and asked me where I’m from, things like that,etc . I politely replied and ran off to find my friends who were waiting for me. I get tired of explaining the same things all the time. (and it was -3 degrees… I was cold. :???: )

I opened the package to find a box inside:
my new ipod nano
iPod nano! the 4G one… :faint: and it’s white. :) (I prefer the white nano to the black one. )
(Arghh .. James!! … it was so difficult to unwrap. You were having fun with the adhesive tape, weren’t you? :faint: I usually never tear off wrapping paper but I got a bit frustrated this time. lol)

What I love most about the gift is this:
back of ipod nano with my name engraved

I love the personal engraving at the back. :smile:
It’s a custom laser engraving that is done free by Apple when you buy an iPod. (that’s what I read just now anyway. )

What I think about the iPod nano:
I love it. It’s the perfect size for me. The normal iPod seems a bit too big for me. The shuffle is a smaller than the nano but it doesn’t have a screen.

I’ll try to take good care of it. :wink: I just need to buy a case. Any advice? So many nano cases in the Apple Store. Don’t know which one to choose. :???: I heard that the screen gets scratched easily but that the iPod nano itself doesn’t spoilt that easily. Some people wanted to test and dropped a nano from various heights and even drove a car over it twice.
