E-Shopping Spree - If I have $500...

Woohoo! Though $500 is not a lot, it's still money. I would be happy to buy a good model kit for around $250. Then probably spend on some trousers and clothes. Mangas will also be in my list. By now I should have left around $50. Maybe i will save them in the bank. To me, this amount of money is well-spent. LOL.

Reflection:
From the previous 2 practicals, I have learnt that there are a variety of types of information source. Before this, I did not have the thought to classify them under different categories. After doing this practical, I discovered that different search engines returns different results, and I need to sort out the necessary information before using them.
