another GREAT Friday!!! :)
(WARNING: Awfully looooong post! )I realised I've really been slacking and playing loads ever since handing in of 2nd draft and the FINAL one on Thurs... But luckily I still do my readings every week and did not have any backlog.. Thank God. :)
Anyway, met up with Ben today to get his digi cam from IT Show at Suntec. We met up q early and the show hasn't started so we decided to grab lunch first. I happened to saw that there was a footwear sale at one of the convention rooms in Level 3, so we went to take a look.. Shoe brands such as Renoma, Hush Puppies and Xodus were going at up to 70% sale!! Saw some nice slips but didn't have my BIG size :/ But they sure had some nice leather shoes that MB could buy for his networking session tom. (That man had to buy EVERYTHING from top to bottom!! :P)
Anyway, beside it was another sale of branded wear. We were curious and went to take a look. There were Diesel, Abercrombie *scream*, Roxy, Miss Sixty, Hollister, Pau Smith, A|X clothes there!!!! My goodness, me and Ben were almost GRABBING everything that we saw there!! They were real cheap! An Abercrombie top was selling at $24.90!! Anyway, end up we din get anything coz Ben was complaining that he shud save some money!! :P
the IT Show was packed when we were at Level 3 where most of the digi cams were selling.. There were alot of people, promoters, beautiful models. Kinda remind me of the days when I was a product promoter in Nov 2004 for Ranger. Gosh, those days were nightmarish and I have sworn
NOT to be a promoter
EVAR agen!! Horrible experience sia... :P
Ben kinda settled on either a
Olympus FE150 or a Samsung one.. He was on low budget, so price was the priority. In the end, he decided to get the Olympus one, coz I personally think it's real good deal for a 5 megapixel camera, with a 2.5inch screen and nice, slim aesthetics. Plus they threw in a 521MB mem card, mini tripod (which look like toy) and a dry case for the camera. ALL these for only
$399!! Whoa, since when a 5megapixel cam is selling so DIRT CHEAP?? urgh, I bot my Canon Powershot A80 for $650 1 year ago!! Prices are really dropping like crazy.....
Anyway, I saw the camera that I would like to buy!! :)

The
LATEST Olympus SP-350!!! It's 8 megapixels and has a 2.5inch screen too!! It's a higher end of consumer cameras, but it's really sleek, can attach a separate flash too! What attracts me most is that it has underwater casing too!! Kor was complaining our camera now is too bulky and it's kinda 'OFF' to carry it around (which I agree totally)... Hmm, mebbe i shud sell away the current camera and get this!!! I q gian to get it becoz of its performance and design... Think can upgrade my underwater photography too!! :) But it cost
$799 for the camera, and I haven ask abt the U/W housing... :S:S
Anyway, after getting his camera, there was still time. As I needed to get presents for MB's birthday and our anniversary, Ben suggester we find some nice branded t-shirts from him at the designer sale we went jus now.
We both eyed on this brown AF t-shirt that we liked and decided to get one each. Jus den this lady approach us to ask if we wan to share coz there was a Buy 3 Get 1 Free promo.. so we did our sums and felt that we could save q a bit and agreed!!! Tht t-shirt cost $24.90 initially but after we shared w the lady, it was only for $18.60!!
CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!! I even msged Bisheng to come down, but too bad he's still busy with FYP... Jiayou jiayou!!! :D
I was real happy for getting such a cheap bargain lar!! hahah typical woman! ;P
We later adjourned to Marina Sq to look for another present, and I decided to go to this shop that sells some diving equipment to get MB's long-awaited LED diving torch!!! Haha, he's been eyeing it for like 1 year already? But couldn't bear to buy it coz it's abt $50 for it... Lucky I have
GOOD memory and could remember which was the one he liked... But I was still worried it might not be the one he eyed on. (Heng ar, later I showed him, he DAMN happy lar!!! :D:D:D)
It was still kinda early after we bot our stuff so we loitered around and eventually walked back to Raffles City... Browsed a few shops. We went into The Life Shop, which sells very lifetstylis and zen-like house furniture and ornaments!! I eyed on some to put in my future house liao!! *grinz* hope i have money in future!! :P
We decided to sit down somewhere to rest our feet (coz Ben was carrying a super huge box) so we found two nice looking seats outside the changing room of Robinson's changing department!!! So the two of us jus sat there and tok cok for almost 30 minutes before MB reach City Hall to meet me for dinner. It was a great chat man.. we talked abt our future plans and relationships stuff (agen) but I mus say, it was really nice talking w you Ben! :)
After Ben left for home, MB reached already and we went back to Suntec to buy his leather shoes. He bot a pair of Renoma black leather shoes at a decent price of $49 (about 70% off). And I realised guys' feet sizes are
SO different from womens! For eg, a size 40 for ladies' shoe is like US 9? But size 40 for men's shoes is actually a 6! So confusing sia!! Why can't they standardize?? Zzzzz....
Dinner was Carl's Junior!! We ordered a Super Star, upsized with medium fries, plus 5pcs of chicken breast sticks! Ok, MB was
REAL hungry, anyway he paid for it, so
OF COURSE I eat lar... :D It was
REALLY alot when the food came, but luckily he
LURVES fast food, no problem for my man. :P
Oh coz I got MB such WONDERFUL gifts (He concurred :P), I 'requested' him to get me a present too!! Altho he act bot me a mickey mouse sling bag, sarong and shell necklace from Phuket, he was nice to agree!! :)
So we went to Fond Hugs at Suntec (Near adidas and Nike B.I.R.D shop, below Tower Records) and I immediately saw this nice white top!! It has brown embroidery below and flares out.. kinds like those Victorian corsets like that, and I look
GREAT in it!! (paiseh, i
SUPER THICK SKIN *wahahahah* :D)
So what can I say?? I had a great Friday!
Thank God it's FRIDAY!!!! :)
