A tiring eventful day!
After much procrastination, we finally did what we been wanting to do. Selling off the spare comp (spoilt AGP slot BTW), some RAM chips and my 64mb GFX card. Some ripoff because he quoted me $5 for my gfx card. So I took it back instead. He gave me rest for $50. I couldn't be bothered about anything and just took the $50 and left the shit with him. On hindsight, I should have sold the SDRAM earlier. They are close to worthless anyway now.
We used the money to buy my mom's Majong (san que yi) game as well as two mousepads. My mom bargained with the shop for the barracuda and the Lian-in aluminium pad. By far the Barracuda is a better buy IMO as there's the non-slip thingy on the bottom but the Aluminium pad is gosu except for the screeching sound. I intend to entertain myself at work with the aluminium pad thus I bought it. :p Mom managed to bargain for $3.50 less at a fixed prices stall. Hee hee.
After we bought the mousepads, I wanted to go Temple as intended. But Jess just got off work, so mom opted to go OG for shopping whilst we window-shopped around the area at the temple (si ma lu) to wait for Jess to come. Then managed to persuade my sis to pray at temple (initially she didn't want to) Gave thanks and asked for career luck :)
After that we looked around some shops as my sis wanted to get bermudas... Weather was unforgivable and we were starving! After we bought some stuff at the crystal shop (some career boosting ornaments) we quickly walked down to Bugis Parco for Sakae but not before buying 10 Fuji Apples and a packet of grapes. Settled down after persuading my mom to eat Sakae. She was quite reluctant. Also persuaded my sis and mom to get the Bento sets instead of the Dons as it's much more worth it. It's a shame that they took off the Agedashi Tofu though. :D My mom really like the Teriyaki Chicken and by far it's one of the better Bentos at Sakae. I had udon, Sis had Chicken Katsu Bento and Jess had Oyako Don. Before that had some coloured and 1 red plate. Disappointment for the Salmon sashimi as it's warm. Not surprising as there are bright orange lamps above the conveyor belt and we were there for a late lunch. Wouldn't know how long the Sashimi has been rotating. :[
I think today we "dua" a lot of people.... Because we were so tired and slept the afternoon away. Haven't replied to a friend who has a room party. Maybe pop by and stay over or something :)
Yesterday was fun~
Jess bought one of the most amazing phones in Singapore. The sleek, extremely sexy nokia 6230. It has a video cam inside. Yum! And not to mention the resolution is the same 65k as my Samsung T100. Lovely. At first Jess was feeling rather sore about getting the phone. But with the ongoing offer at M1 for upgraders as well as free gifts and most importantly a free 128mb MMC card, why not? The card is a lovely gift which we didn't have to pay for. We also bought some wine and cheese at Cold storage. We took taxi back but not before purchasing a few books at MPH as it was cheap and Jess managed to find her long-wanted book "Key of Valour" Took a cab back from Parkway and played scrabble and Jess was owning me most of the time until I got a triple word score and Jess had to deduct 20 points for her non-placement of Q and Z. That was some unbalanced game. I had all the Us (used 2 on board, 3 more on hand) and none of any alphabets with 5 points and above. That means no K, J, X, Q or Z. ZzzzzZZ But my monopoly of Us gged her :p
Ok, that's all for your reading pleasure~ Have a great weekend/Sunday all. ^_^
