MP3 hunt at Comex

(You might wan to read the previous post first)
Since the day my mp3 went diving. I have been looking for a new one.
Music is a necessity to me.
Thus I began scouting, and it so happens that Creative to have a national day promotion.
I was getting rdy to strike, when I found out Comex is juz around the corner.
So I endured in hope of getting a better deal.

And ytd was the day.

I went down to Comex at suntec in the afternoon. The first thing I noticed, "Aye, the route is different, I tot last time is use overhead bridge, how come now is underpass?"
(JJ's been living on his island)
But the change is most welcome, more spacious than b4 to allow quicker flow of human traffic.

The crowd there is quite ok(muz be bc is friday afternoon). Not till the extend whr movement is difficult. I shoot straight to the few dealers I have in mind. Namely Samsung, Sony & Creative.

Samsung was having a great promotion, they cut the price rather aggressively and have this 1 for 1 deal. (Buy a more ex mp3 and gif u a cheaper 1)
But I had no use for 2 mp3 (I'm hearing alot of "gif me la" comments from ur minds) -_-
Along the way up, I saw like at least 3 booths from them.

Next up, Sony. They are only selling 3 new models. The nicest looking one happens to be the most basic one. Their 'best' model is fugly IMO.

Then I tried looking for my friend, Wilson aka rabbit, working at Dell. Couldnt see him, dunno whr he 'tuanging' (another word for slacking)

So I proceed to my last station. They selling their 2gb ZEN + ac adapter for $129, add on earpiece EP 630 for $30. I saw at their newsletter was $149 for everything. So I tried to ask the guy. He dunno -.-"

So I approach the higher up. I told him wat I saw.
He say "Ok, I gif to u at $129." !_!
I was taken aback by the deal for a while, b4 coming back to my senses.
Halfway thru payment, then I realised I have Dennis's Creative card wif me.
(My brain really dead that day)
I asked whether the card can be used. The cashier gal "Err....."
The guy next to her say "Sry, we dun accept the card here."
Well, I dunno he smoking me or wat. Nv-the-less, I was happy enouf.

I filled in the lucky draw(HUAT AH!) and decided to look for my buddy once again.
Walk around for a while and finally saw him. He standing at a premium spot... wif no ppl.
Haha, a pro's a pro. (His job is fixed pay, no haf commission)
I chit chat wif him a little and ask him whr got sell dvd. (My dad's instruction)
So happen court is juz beside and they are selling.
I grabbed 1, peek at rabbit once more (got customer liao), wanted to take foto of him in action, but hands are filled. Then bb to Comex.
Here are 2 floor plans for those interested in going.

Hey! U there, dun curse my mp3, dun think I dunno. Especially u...

Old/New bag-mp3

Well, the story date back to the national day weekend.

On National's day nite, I looked at my sch bag and thought, oh boy, how much dirtier can it be?
And decided to gif my bag a deserving wash.

So I take out 'everything' and throw my bag inside a pail and cover it wif water and some washing powder. Then I step and stomp at it to get the dirt out.
Repeat process for 3times.

After that, I took it out and started brushing it. Here I brush, there I brush.
"Lalala... So happy"
'Boink' something dropped out of my bag. That looks familiar, like my mp3 !_!
Errr, my mp3 is dirty and need to wash too?
"NO...... 我不要。。。"

Time out, stop operation bag washing, start operation mp3 rescuing.
So faster wipe it dry, shake out some the water that went in. And pray...

So at the end of the day, my bag became clean and new, while my mp3 became clean and spoilt.

Sch starts!

Ghost are out; School is in.
Beijing Olympics started; National Day over.

Within this short span of 2 week, so much have happened.
I went back to sch and saw familiar faces. Most of my friends end up in the same course, and even the same class, as we planned our timetable tgt.
I love my 4days school-week timetable.
Most of the lecturers and tutor are ok. But there's always exceptions. *sad*
The maths lecturer is dam chui. (I believe those in same module would raise both hand to agree)
"If u got any problems, u can telephone me." ---> Hafiz's fav
Furthermore, just when I tot KH was the number 1 in 'zao xia', he totally own KH by doing juz that once every 2 sentences.
I guess 一山还比一山高, KH加油阿!

Last friday, I managed to get tic for Claire *郭静 campus concert, thx to buddy kin onn.
*not 郭靖 if u dunno there's a diff in the word*
LKC was packed, come another 50 and they would haf to sit on the floor.
I didnt expect a full house as she was not really popular in my opinion.
I notice her nose very sharp. She has a nice voice, and she's walks the path of a cutie pie.
(Whether or not that's her real personality is a diff issue all tgt)
She's rather friendly and make a pt to walk a complete round in LKC to try to shake many hands. She shook mine as well. *shy*
Haha, when she was passing by, Dennis was high or act high, and was shouting...
Then she ask “你叫什么?”, asking he shouting for wat...
I wanted to answer “他叫Dennis...” -_-
*Chinese pun*
But due to her tour, 2 of her nice songs was compromised... Abit wasted.
Then she threw posters at the crowd, boys and gals jump to grab.
I saw skirts fly. *gals wearing skirts shd be careful.*
And in a case, I saw a NBA style rebound grab on the poster. !_! Stunned
Every1 sang to the no 1 hit <下一个天亮> tgt as the finale.
Haha, overall it was a ok concert. Dennis was telling me the table tennis match in the afternoon more exciting -.-
Like that also can compare?

Re: Last Days b4 Sch

I had 3 sessions of badminton in 8 days... Majiam like badminton is cca.
First session we play wif lousy 'pioneer' shuttlecock supplied by urs sincerely.
Bo bian we ran out of our better ones.
They keep complaining of how easy the shuttle flys out of bound wif the minimum strength used.
So basically we are juz trying not to out. No fun really.
So after the game, we buy a dozen of good ones and guess who's arrowed to keep and bring? -_-

We played our 2nd and 3rd session free. =x
We didnt pay for the court fee, after we observed the staffs there actually is not strict about it, and there's lot of freeloader around, unlike the jw cc one --- once the time's up, the security guard comes up and chase u away.

By my 3rd session, I can feel my skills improve, I was able to react faster to return the shots.
KH smashed shuttle into every1 other than me :D I'm master of evasion, haha, siam first 'tok' later.
I even managed to return the atk and head-shot KH. JJ's on FIRE!
They queered YY play better than me on earlier on, muz be that false comment inspired the inner badminton talent in me to react and explode.


On 2nd Aug, I went ECP blading/cycling trip wif S22. We met for lunch at 12, finished at 1.
Only to realise the bus service only start at 2pm. 被骗
We only managed to start proper at 3pm due to some later comers...
I rode a double's bike wif zk, cause he can neither cycle nor blade. If not he will be left alone, so I 牺牲. (We are NOT gay)

We went to bedok food corner, near me and KH's camp, to haf the very nice qing teng.
When returning, zk swapped wif lr, and kin onn swap wif Jac, as the gals are destroyed after balding for nearly 3h.

While lr was at my back, she was constantly screaming for me to go slower, I'm not even fast(fast is subjective?) and we dun look like we are going to crash. Got JJ dun worry.
All in all, the turn up rate for the event is rather good, so it's considered as a success.
