an apple a day keeps the doctor away?

i want a new laptop.eh no, i need a new laptop.mine has been acting weird.if before, i've always say i wont be needing a new one because it has been good for how many years i cant remember. 5-6years? but not anymore.after formatting it twice, i noticed there's something wrong with it.one day, it just went blank twice and pop-up this blue screen saying something about my hardisc.i think it wont be long till it crashes for good. *after the semester ends pls* sigh.i feel kinda guilty to ask my dad for a new one.it'll cost a bomb.of course i wud want to get an Apple this time.not! haha.but if the price is about the same as others, might as well pick that one.rite? sigh.how do i tell this to dad? "baba, i think i need a new lappy.pretty plss?" and he'd say "oh, sure.how much? just charge it to my credit card". yeah raiittt...like that wud actually happen.argh!
