Another typical sunday...

Today's just like any other weekend... Endless crowds passing by... (not to mention babes XD)... Sold quite some stuff today... Few cameras and mp3's... The damn VAIO display failed on us again... No internet... Had to restore the stupid thing... Lost all the nice songs inside... Crap..

Nothing really interesting happened today... Watched my colleagues sell high end stuff... Lols... The usual la... Bought earphone muffs and a new wallet... Haha.... Well, im really impressed at how they can sell certain cameras so quickly... Suffice to say, the customers were so convinced that they didn't even have any questions to ask... Lols... Power to the people!!!

Sales spiked as the day wore on.. Peak hour was crazy... crazy as in 1-person-serving-3-customer crazy... Haha... Tiring but fun... Met some really funny people too... Had some good laughs now and then...

My colleague closed yet another big deal when we're about to close for the day... Power sia... Anyway, the Dakine bag is really great... Thanks to Philip! =)

Today is just like any other day... Except that i reached school 1 hour earlier... =_= School supposed to start at 9... And i reached at 7... like wth... Haha... Lessons were ok too... Learnt hexadecimal to binary, etc in DCN class...


The day just wore on like normal.... Listen to lecturers talk until wanna doze off.... Lols... Well, i guess i was getting abit restless... So i flipped out my laptop to play games... So did Jules... As you know... I get pretty immersed when i play games... Didn't pay much attention to lecturer... Like duh... Phil was giving some game advice to Jules... Well, given his deep voice, its easy to hear him talking... Oh ya... It was during IAD... Got a heck of a scolding from the Him*...


Yeah, the usual crap about "u wanna study or not is your business" things.... Well, it was my fault also... Cuz not supposed to play game in class... Not trying to be rebellious, but ok la... I mean, i dont know what others might feel about him... But im kinda irritated by Him.... Scold is scold la... But dont drag until like wth la can?


Sighs... Pretty pissed by the time i got outta class... But anyway, what the heck... Not gonna care, dont want to also.... Didnt really like him in the first place... Nothing particularly interesting happened after that... Went for DCN lecture.... Halfway thru lesson we say a really nice formation of clouds... Lols... Then everyone started taking photos...


Went to mac for another session of G... After that went off to work... Still got Mr Seah's lab to do. Haha... But i think VS is fun... Well, hope that tmr wont be so bad...

Apple, No More...

Over the month of October, i have learnt, and seen many new things... My craze for the iPhone/iTouch will be over... I've been asking for opinions from my friends and family... Many of them encouraged me not to buy both... Defiant and fickle-minded like i was, i dismissed their advice... I actually put a countdown to when i will be buying the gadget on msn... It all started when a friend of mine bought an iPhone... Then, it was a really "IN" thing, because not many people had the money to purchase the phone... What's more, its touch screen... Hell of a cool phone... The moment i touched it, i was mesmerized... (literally)

Well, ever since i saw the iPhone, i couldn't get my mind off it... i actually called my friend to get one for me... I didn't even consider the price.... When he told me it was $898, i just agreed... Which was really foolish when i thought back about it... Yes, the craze went on... I went on telling my friends that im buying it when i get pay... Kind of "possessed" feeling... You know what i mean... i think my friends noticed it too... My colleagues too... And my family... Lols

After school today, went back to the main shop to put my laptop... Then went to Hub... Had a long chat with good ol' Uncle Harry... And inevitably, the topic the topic drifted to the iTouch(again)... What he advised me is not to be so rash, and have the see-already-want-to-buy attitude.... Cuz it will eventually kill me... (not literally) He told me that i was somewhat devoured by desire... What i didn't realise was that Man's wants are insatiable... It will never end as long as there are new and interesting things to buy... Well, somehow it enlightened me... And i decided it would be better for me to save up... What my friend said is also true... Since i already have a laptop, why still get an mp3 when your laptop can surpass it already?

Thinking back... It really makes sense after you put everything together and start thinking straight... Haha...

iPod Touch? or iPhone?

These few days were pretty okay... Work was normal... Took today off and i had been playing Dawn of War since this morning.. Lols... There was nothing particularly very interesting today... Because i didn't even go out... Haha... like obviously...

Played the XBOX, watch tv occasionally... But still, a big question still hangs in my mind... Should i get the iPod touch or the iPhone... Well, bad points aside, both the iTouch (for short) and iPhone are very similar in terms of functions and design too... The iTouch is only around 2mm thinner than the iPhone... And it has built in music and video player, and even Wi-Fi... so surfing the net is possible... The iPhone basically has the exact same functions, save for Calling and Messaging... And the prices for both are quite significantly different.

To start with, the iTouch is going for $498 for the 8gb version. The iPhone is going for $898. Yes, it still has not been launched in S'pore, but through some searching around, this is the lowest price, for now. Some of my friends told me to get the iPhone, cuz its all-in-one. Some asked me to get the iTouch instead... Since i already have a phone... Frankly speaking, $400 more is quite a big sum...

Anyway, i still have 9 days to decide... Haha... Ok, back to today... Had a 45 minute swim... (i stayed in Rivervale today)... It was a pretty good workout... Actually was so bored that i decided to go swim.. Lols...

I will be updating my blog in 2-3 day intervals... Some days may be so boring that there's nothing to write... Haha.. Till next time! =D

Interesting Day...

School was alright today.... Was awoken by Wally at 6.30, as usual... (Sighs) Ate $2 Mac for breakfast... Went to class together with Jules, Philop and other peeps...

Really boring starter from Mr Seah... Programming Methodologies and Practices... Chimology eh? Not really... He explained many things about the module, how to use Visual Studio... Oh yea, and speaking of Visual Studio, i spent 2.5 hours watching the download for the program... Nearly lost my sanity... Oh well, at least it can be resumed....

After that was Digital Electronics... Really wierd teacher came in and started speaking thru a mike... Well, obviously nobody listened to him... Maybe just caught a slight mention of his name only.. Haha... He left after 1 period... And another teacher took his place about 15 minutes later...

This teacher was alrite... Except that he tried to make not-funny jokes at the wrong times during lesson... XD He also mentioned his colleage's name "Ah Lian" many times... Which cracked all of us up immensely... Much to our delight, he could also mimic the sound of drums and trumpets... Cool huh... Besides that, i find that he's quite a nice teacher....

Work was also good... Sold 2 cameras, both $200 ++... Surprised that i could sell Sony DSC-W35 haha... What an "accomplishment"... Besides that, did not sell much... Had to carry a super heavy showcase to the main outlet though... Damn tiring... But we had some laughs along the way...

Reached home and picked up a random newspaper to read... I was really surprised when i saw the article on the "Poisoned Apple" a.k.a. Poisoned iPhone... The set itself actually contained 3 lethal toxins that if, through extreme exposures, could cause skin and organ cancers as well as infertility in humans.... Scary huh... And to think i was actually mesmerized by it... Whew... Quote from mum, " Do u think its worth it to pay $800 over $ for cancer? " Which set me thinking silently... How could such a beautiful device have such devious secrets...

To be frank, i love the iPhone... But i'll haf to wait until its not so dangerous before i buy it... Haha..

Quoted price for the Sony W-80 Digicam to a couple... Suddenly they ask me whether buy 2 got cheaper not... So after some discussion, gave them $10 less... Then they ask whether buy 3 got cheaper... At this point, i thought they were like trying to test me... But still i gave them even cheaper price... less $5... Little did i expect them to ask me to prepare all 3 while they go draw cash... HAHA... WOOT!!!

Then people started streaming in at regular intervals... Everyone had a chance to sell... End of the day, everyone was happy... As in Happy happy.... like, you know wad i mean... lol... XP
