Shopping, Uncategorized IPOD PINK NANO, THE SIMS 23 February 2007

I sold my old iPod white Nano on eBay for AU$200, and bought a brand new iPod pink Nano also on eBay for AU$220.. they retail AU$299 πŸ˜€ I was surprised that the new pink Nanos are actually smaller and sleeker, I thought they were the same size. The smooth metallic feels awesome and the pink just makes me grin πŸ˜› And it matches my bag perfectly, haha!


iPod pink Nano

Better yet, I also got The Sims 2. Anyone play it? I randomly decided to get it after someone mentioned that they thought I’d love it. I do! It’s addictive and fun πŸ˜› But I only started playing it last night and I’m not really sure what I’m doing yet.. time goes by too quickly in the Sim world and there’s just not enough time to get everything done. Ack!


The Sims 2

I’m leaving for the airport now and will be in Singapore for the next 3.5 weeks. HURRAY πŸ˜€ Looks like I’ll be playing The Sims on the plane…

Let’s Chat!

Oooh your new iPod is so cute!
I still have the original iPod- the first one that was released in Australia, like 5 years ago haha. I want to get one of the coloured Nanos, but I just don’t think I could get rid of my iPod lol.

Hehe if you hold on to it maybe it’ll get really valuable in a few years, cos it’ll be ‘vintage’ πŸ˜› When I resold my pink Mini, I actually got MORE than what I paid for retail, cos the collector’s went mad snapping them all up!

i play sims2! it awesome!: )
though i have to say.. there are cheat codes that i always use. πŸ˜› just search around for sims2cheat code. get money, get twins! yippee! πŸ™‚

I can’t figure out how to bring up that silly screen! I need to use that ‘motherload’ cheat.. I need more money ASAP πŸ˜‰

Bev, are you pressing Ctrl-Shift-C while you’re on a lot playing a family? It should come up with a bar across the top of the screen where you can type the cheat and press ‘enter’.

Don’t worry about your Sims addiction…. you’ll soon get so annoyed with it you never want to touch it again and it’ll leave you rocking in your chair πŸ˜›

That’s what happened to me. Annoyed! it’s like…. dammit you just went to the loo and now you need to again! ARHGGHGH!

I’ve also got the Pets, University and Open for Business expansion packs πŸ™‚

Pets is kinda cool…. they got cute animals and such running around. But the animal protection agency keeps taking mine away =(

Haha! Yes they’re very needy.. it’s tough trying to keep those Need bars in the green, my Sim keeps getting grumpy at me because I can’t keep her happy, haha! I want Pets.. it sounds so cute πŸ˜›

I can see it’s going to be verrrrrry addictive πŸ˜‰

im supposed to start work on tuesday, at either side (check my new entry) and i cant decide yet. prolly can meet ya for lunch at a later day of the week please? πŸ™‚

I used to play the Sims 2! The cds are hiding somewhere in the room now. They are quite fun when you’ve the time! πŸ™‚

Have a good trip in Singapore!

What I love about my Sims is that when their need bars go really low, I usually leave them alone for a while to let them do their own things, they usually get the bars up themselves πŸ™‚ If not, I nudge them in the right direction

The toddlers are just the CUTEST!!!

Hope you have a fun and safe trip πŸ™‚

Haha I didn’t know that, but in the long-run does it affect their happiness/gameplay?

I haven’t even reached the baby and toddler stage yet.. I need to learn to keep the adults alive first, hehe!

Sorry, this is a drive-by comment by no one you know… XD

Sorry, I just happened to be LJ surfing (I do random things like that all the time) and I was reading your post and when you said Sims 2, I can’t resist, I must comment. XD

The game is great stuff. 8) You can customize your sets and characters and you can create stories, pictures, even movies. (All those links lead to stuff I’d created with my own game but you can browse around and explore different links and see other players’ awesome stuff too! 8D ) I have all the expansion packs and I would recommend getting Nightlife because, with it, your Sims can go on dates and outings and do romantic stuff. XD You also get vampires with Nightlife. =3

There is a LJ community called which you might want to check out if you have time to kill. And MTS2 is the place to get custom content to make your game that much more exciting and beautiful to play. =)

Seasons, which is the latest expansion pack, is due out in a week. It will give your game, er, seasons! Your Sims can plant fruit trees in spring, go fishing and catch fireflies in summer, harvest tomatoes in autumn, build snowmen and have snowball fights in winter… I can’t wait. 8D

Re: Sorry, this is a drive-by comment by no one you know… XD

Ooooo awesome!! NO ONE I know in real life has played (or even heard of) The Sims, so thank goodness for the internet.

I’m still a newbie and very slow, so still trying to figure out how to always keep their Needs up, they keep going down so quickly, grr! There never seems to be enough time in a day to do everything, much less be able to Study and make friends, do you find that? I’m hoping soon I get the hang of it and it’ll be fine πŸ˜›

And THANKS HEAPS For the links, I’m off to check them out now!

Hi Beverly,
I was wondering what your ebay name was so that perhaps I can bid on things whenever you are selling it. I see ou sometimes sell your designer bags and I’d be interested in bidding on them later on. Thanks!

hey I got the red Nano! It is very thin and sleek compared to my old blue mini I had. Haven’t played the Sims, I heard the sims online wasn’t as good. what are you gonna buy in sinapore?!

Just take a look at my every so often Sims posts LOL It’ll take up all your time.

Don’t worry, you’ll get used to how fast the time goes (tip – your Sim kids don’t need to eat breakfast before school unless their hunger bar is very close to red. They automatically feed them while they’re at school.)

If you need any custom stuff downloading tips or bug fixes, just holler at me.

Hahhaa yes, your screenshots were what pushed me over the edge πŸ˜‰ Thanks for the tip about food! Iactually have 2 expansion packs but haven’t aclue as to how to use/access them, even though i’ve already installed them from CD? So strange.

boo! i cant sell my old and dying ipod mini cos my boy had it engraved for my 21st birthday. ;(

but i love the nano! its so slim and fits nicely into a small purse.

and well, yours matches your bag perfectly! ;D

Aww bummer! Maybe you can still sell it but for a bit cheaper, for people that will skin it anyway so they won’t see the engraving? I do love the Nano size, it’s perfect πŸ™‚

somehow the sentimental side of me also dont wish to give it up lah.

my boy ordered it last time, and he got it engraved and delivered to my place. so for some reasons think i will keep it! πŸ˜‰

i think the ipod shuffle, new one, is cute too! just that it shuffles which makes it not too cool. ;x

Ya mine can with the Uni expansion pack and I have the Glamour one.. but how do I get to it?? All I see is the ‘regular’ game stuff… Argh, I’m a bit stupid :X

I think you need to be using the ‘latest’ expansion pack CD to be able to access all the other expansion packs.

I just got the Sims 2 before Christmas and wasted a whole lot of hours over the holidays playing it! But yeah I couldn’t handle how overwhelming it all is just trying to keep the bars up high, let alone going to work, achieving aspirations etc. I ended up cheating haha :I

I want to cheat too! But where do you press that ctrl+shift+c to bring up the cheat panel (i want to use ‘motherload’, hehe? I couldn’t even figure THAT out πŸ˜‰

I used to be really into the original Sims, and was super excited about Sims 2. I tried it and maybe I’m tired of the game, but it didn’t grab my attention as well as the original did. Still lots of fun though. A new Sims came out (Life Stories or something) and it looks interesting so I might try that!

I thought Sims2 is the same, just that they can age and die and have babies now? I’m still trying to get the hang of it, I must be slow or something, it’s soo hard!

They also introduced the life aspiration things which is just another thing on top of all their other needs. πŸ˜› There’s lots of micro-managing to do which makes it overwhelming at times! I’ve had sims fall asleep on the floor because they just didn’t make it to bed!

I bet all the guys wish they could say the same thing about their girlfriends! =D Sorry, I couldn’t help myself when I saw the comment.

Which ebay seller did you buy it from…am thinking of getting an ipod video for my missus!

Hhahahah now that I read back on it, *grin*

The eBay seller wasn’t a wholesaler or anything, it was a one-off sale. There are loads of Videos on there right now though, so you should be able to find a pretty good deal!

I love the Sims. I lost my Sims 2 CD somewhere and I miss it dearly πŸ™ It’s one of those games where 3 hours will pass really quickly – beware!

I can’t wait for your photos from Singapore…

It does! I played it for HOURS last night and it seriously just felt like a few mins. But it’s so confusing and I never have enough time to do anything, so all my Need bars are crap πŸ™
