Pizza at home

0

Here I am typing this post in a room filled with only a strong smell of pizza and nothing else, tried turing off the air-conditioning and ventilating the room but don’t seem to help, looks I gotta to sleep with it tonight.. grrr

Oh yea, why this? jus say a party jus happened in my room, my sis gotta use my computer (because its the only one in the house with powerpoint installed) to do her school project her friends like, 4 of them to be exact, came too. So jus say I was kinda “locked” outta my own room for the whole afternoon-evening. And say… its also one of the few times where I get to appreciate my neighbourhood’s garden, my older computers and cable TV at home.. lol substitutes…. My mum was as hospitable as usual- ordered a family pizza meal from Pizzahut for them and what? they even ate it in my room! argh!, the crumbs, the pepsi, the garlic bread.. *duh* but lucky the keyboard and mouse are not oily.. lol!

So what I did today and why did I miss all the home happenings? well, I went to Swee lee music store at Bras Basah. Saw a nice Fender which I am interested in purchasing, (squier series, most prob). They have a set going at $599, and my mum “kinda” agreed to pay half of it, whoopi! , gotta start saving!

And yes, the dinner with my old secondary school friends will be on tomorrow, hope to see you guys there!

Day at funan, new printer

0

Woot!, jus came back from some extra shopping today, got the Canon S520 photo printer at last from PK computers funan the IT mall. Canon is having a student special at $229, (usual $281). though I am not quite a student, lolz, but my I still have my student pass with me.. so it kinda worked, keke. Went to Magic Wok resturant @ the capitol for lunch, not bad I say, very afforable and nice food, the place is not only very popular for their chinese-thai cuisine but with the people working around the central business district, very crowded there during lunchtimes. Furthermore, they don’t charge for service too.

Ok, *breather* well, I am home now, from all those activities, and say! I am very impressed with the printer’s performance- came back home and printed a full color page of one of my artpieces and it came out within about less than 20 seconds! very fine and smooth indeed. The thing which kinda funny is that when the ink’s still wet, the printout smells pretty much like cold hardened chocolate in the fridge!… *duh*

Lastly, my sec sch friend, Peijun is having a chinese dinner gathering next Mon, hope everyone can make it, it will be a bash!

Afternoon shopping

0

Just came from from some “afternoon shopping” lolz. Dropped by funan to preorder command and conquer generals at the software boutique, funan. It will be out on the 11th Feb in Singapore comfirmed. Dropped down to PK computers store to check out on their offers and say! Lester, your name is still the last one on the list… only two ppl ordered so far.. LOLZ. Went to look at canon and epson printers, and may be considering the Canon S520 for $229 (student offer) Needed a photo printer possiblly to print my art work for sales in the possible future. The salesguy at PK computers attended to me and he’s really very funny, talked bout 1/2 hour bout the printers there, explained almost everything, maybe I would consider buying the printer from PK computers.

After lunch at a Jap resturant with my mum at funan, my watch went dead.. lolz, coincidentally too at 12 noon exact, dropped by the Swatch shop @ Raffles City for a battery change. Didn’t know swatch irony watches are such “battery eaters” didn’t use the stopwatch function often, but this one only lasted one year- the expected time the swatch reps there said too.. *duh*… quite funny as my other mid-range swatch watches are lasting at about 5 years on a single battery go! Checked out the swatch spring-summer collection and say, this collection don’t really appeals to me, consisting of mostly bright, gay and loud and I mean LOUD colours, not my taste (dark and cool… ) hehe.

Networking equipment will be provided but its good if you guys can bring your own lan cables.

We are still working out the food arrangement. Drinks shouldn’t be a problem.
