what a week it has been

Friday
Drove down to JB with the parents, brother was too lazy to join us. So went down to a car repair shop to fix the speakers on my dad's car. Ate lunch, went pelangi square to shop. Woah that place has changed quite abit, nicer shops, i bought quite alot of stuff, my dad's eyes were popping out... "do you need so many shoes??".. hee hee =) Bought some cakes from secret recipe.. what the hell, the cheesecakes are RM 5.00, it's S$5 here. So we return to Singapore at about 6, my dad had to attend a company dinner at Marriott, which he pronounced as "ma-rot". haha, My mum and i walked around town while waiting for him. And i bought a new tefal frying pan for myself.. was complaining about the last pan. Anyway the saleswomen said, u should add the oil into the pan before turning on the gas, and not to add water in immediately after cooking. That's the cause of non stick pans sticking.. oops, guilty of both. Anyway, i'm quite excited about the new pan, can't decide what i shall cook yet. Hey dolls, remember chem? who asked that curly oyster/some teacher to explain how a non stick material can stick on a pan if it's non stick? Sounds like a question i would ask.. but i'm pretty sure i didn't. Anyway, the whole ballroom of ITE staff left the place, and we were all stuck in Tang's Carpark... so long, i fell asleep. After a long while, arrived home and did my blog assignment.

Saturday
Did my bonus blog assignment, went down to Suntec for the It Fair. Waaah crowded man, parking was a problem, luckily my mum knew a hidden carpark entrance. The one through pan pacific.. haha beat the queue, quite a few lots too. Little things like these make drivers very happy, ahah so trivial. So squeezed our way through the crowd, mum wanted to go to the Singtel booth to know more about the Mio plan. Gosh, there's one word to explain the plan man-CONFUSING! Seriously, i don't understand how my home phone will routed onto the internet for calls, and blah blah blah. In the case of a black out, your home phone would not work too. Anyway, we found out more about this plan and decided against it. Man, they should make clearer pamphlets... it's really MIO-pic (myopic). Anyway my mum decided to get another internet plan, upgrade to 5Mph, yeah tt should be 3.333 times faster.. i hope. So, my mum got herself a LAPTOP... how funky is my mum??? hahaha


-AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50 (1.60GHz, 256KB x 2 L2 cache, 1600MHz HTSB 12)
-Super AG/Super G wireless connection with dual antenna
-Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic
-Fingerprint recognition technology
-1GB DDR2 ^^&MHz, max. 4GB
-100GB
-15.4" Superfine Wide XGA TFT
-Dual Layer DVD Super Multi Writer
-V.92 Moderm
-10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
-Integrated Bluetooth

And the special promotion from the fair meant a free upgrade to 2GB RAM, earpiece and optical mouse. All these at $1688. She chose the white one... i think.

You know what this means... my mum's laptop is more powerful than mine... or any other com in the house. 2GB RAM!!! her harddrive space is bigger than mine too, the screen size is the same ..15'4. Which is good, now she can't complain that the screen is too small, or that her stuff is always inferior to ours.. HAHA, what a birthday present for my mum. Oh did i mention her birthday was yesterday??? Anyway, i was pretty curious about Vista, glad to say.. it's nothing like Mac, it sucks! noo, not that bad, will see how my suddenly-tech-savy-mum adapt to vista. Not much changes thoughh...

Anyway, i went to find my darling samm while the parents were queuing up to upgrade the RAM. She's working at the starhub booth... i like to go say hi to people while they are working at these booths. I dunno, i think it's refreshing to finally see a familar face after explain all the phone plans and stuff to customers.

I bought a new speaker too, after much complaint from the parents about the old one. It's a flat screen speaker that my brother bought from Sim Lim, a long long time ago.

Anyway, that speaker is not clear and soft, and my laptop speaker is soft too, so i tend to turn it on louder.. not too loud. But the strange thing is, the sound from my speaker is louder outside my room than inside.. strange strange.. so bought a new speaker and taadaaa..

Oh the bass from the subwoofer is pretty shiok, shall blast it one day.. hee hee.

Since we are looking at my room, thought i show you some pictures of my room that people like to pinpoint on.
Alot of people think that my clock is lame, because it spells out CLOCK. I should remove the L, haha. See if the parents notice it, anyway i won this CLOCK on a star cruise, i think i claimed it from winning at the arcade. Haha.
