Yesterday Blogspot has decided to be a pain in the arse thus i couldn't have any postings for yesterday but since today i'm able to login, the following posts will be split into YESTERDAY & TODAY
TODAY(SUN)
8.59PM, the time i woke up to prepare myself for work at 11PM. BUT i'm still late, reached BRUNCH at around 11.05PM. I think it has been a 'habit' for me to be late for work whenever my dad isn't around to chauffeur me to work. Yes i have been very reliant. And Yes i know you might be SCREAMING OUT LOUD, SPOILT BRAT! But usually mornings i'm very lazy and need some time to 'warm up' before i can be totally engrossed in work, that's what i told Frankie(Assistant Manager) cause he always calls me lao ren, meaning old person, which he's trying to imply that i'm extremely forgetful. Yes i am not afraid to admit that though. Haha. Ohh yea, i set my eyes onto an eurasian guest when he walked in. I mean, i set my eyes onto his glasses/spectacles. Haha, what were you thinking! The glasses is metallic matt-finished, very modern sleek looking.
On the way to offer him a place to sit, we passed by this pair of butterflies/insects mating on the table. And i actually tried to SHOO it away. I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE MATING LA!
Me: "What was that? Sorry about it."
Him: "I think those were insects mating.(Laughs)"
Me: "Ohh... What an unusual scene...(Laughs with him)"
After a while i walked up to him, have a chat and said: "Wow! That's really an exquisite glasses you have! Where did you buy this from? How much was it?" He replied: "Yea, i bought it in Hong Kong and it costs around 2000+ Hong Kong dollars? That's like 200+ US dollars?"
My jaw dropped immediately but i didn't show it right in front of him. Must remain calm mah...
Me: "I rarely see this kinda of specs in Singapore, what brand is it?"
Him: "Oh, i think you can find it in Singapore. It's made in Germany, actually. The brand is, Icy Berden(that's how he pronouces it, but actual spelling might be incorrect)"
Me: "Now i must really find it..."
And so i continued the not-so-important conversation(my managers encourage having conversations with guests but do need to manage time)...
So dad fetched me home after work cause if i were to see the crowd at Cityhall MRT station, i would just literally go bonkers! IT SHOW and that's the major cause. Even when i'm waiting at Pan Pacific Hotel's taxi stand for my dad to arrive, there were unusally alot of cars entering into Pan Pac.
12.3oPM. That's the time i argued about the making of the passport. She insists me to renew the passport via Internet or by Post. But after looking at the requirements(Photo size of no more 60KB, dimensions of no larger than -- pixels by -- pixels), i was damn fedup and frustrated. And with the different pricing of sending by Post and Internet and making the passport on-the-spot(ICA Building), i was even more infuriated. So i was talking quite loudly as i'm already very fedup, and sad to say i've disturbed my neighbours' tranquility.
YESTERDAY(SAT)
The minute i woke up, checked my handphone and then i received a bad news. JERALDINE couldn't make it for the Genting trip cause her mum had alot of reasons to be worried of her. KL is chaotic and there's no older and reliable adult there, that's why her mum doesn't feel safe to let her travel. She's really super duper ultra infinity sorry, well that's what she said but i do understand why her mum doesn't allow her to travel without any reliable & older adult around. So hadn't have any choice but to cancel the trip. Initially was 6 members, 2 are her friends. Since JERALDINE couldn't go i doubt her friends will go too, so the remanining 3(me and 2 poly classmates) felt that it's kinda an odd number and not that fun if just a few of us go only. Next time probably? Perhaps when JERALDINE turns 20? Haha.
This was the day that we were supposed to book the tickets for the trip and pay for the accommodations and stuff. So since this was called off, i met GUAN instead cause i wanted to go to the IT SHOW to get camera. He shun pian went to get his Mouse too for laptop usage. When i was there, there were throngs and throngs of non-stop action! People pushing, people squeezing, people rushing to get good deals and etc. What can i say... Typical Singaporeans!
The response was so extreme that, at the entrance of Suntec Convention Hall there's this electronic device standee displaying "Due to overwhelming response, please come back in an hour." But as you know, typical singaporeans still enter without giving 2 hoots about it. I think now you could understand how we felt inside, being packed like sardines, walking in slow-motion...
Finally managed to buy the camera. Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS. Usually it's retailing for 669 bucks but over at the booth they were selling at 599 bucks. So i think it's a relatively good price'deal with lots of free stuff(useful) being thrown into the package. Well that's my birthday gift from my parents though i have to pay 12.5% of the whole price, which is like 75 bucks. And of course my brother had a 'share' in it cause i know he would use it. So he paid the 12.5% too.
Alright one present down. And now i would definitely love to get this, a wallet. An AX wallet. It's perforated, perfect for any occasions and it's in my favourite all-time colour, WHITE. If i get that wallet, i'll be OVER THE MOON!
