Comex 2008 (feel very auntie here....)

Very very squeezy day at Suntec....went at 12 after a drop off from the bank amidst a heated exchange with the bank staff...so was kinda moody and pissed. Did not really help that this year the show was somewhat incredibly crowded and stifling, much more so than last yr. And I had several task at hand...to grab HDDs, flash drives, as well as several priorities which as listed in order:

1) LCD / Plasma TV
2) My gaming desktop
3) Digital Camera
4) Phone

Ahem...so as you can see, my appliances are breaking down one by one...actually 1) and 2) are dead liaoz, 3) is still ok (accompanied me for my Europe trip le and lasted for 6 years) although it's gonna gimme probs sooner or later, 4) is just plain old and ugly (wat ya expect from a phone that I have used, not changed since my army days and cost 0 bucks with trade-in?!? Read: 6 years....again)

So I set out to look for all of these and I must say I think I was too spaced out that in the end I only accomplished looking out for the TV. Man....the place where I got the 46 and 32 inch TV was literally a slaughter-house with crazy hourly specials and over-enthusiastic salesman. I camped there for 2 hours waiting for them to hand out their hourly deals....damn auntie la!!!

Bumped into quite a few people at the fair like Welly who is forever somehow changing her phone, Zhan Sheng (Zhiwen's upperstudy) and Alex who's lugging his precious home theatre system (haha how come I always meet him in such random situations like in London?!) Met up with Kinwee too later for dinner at Glutton's Bay cos he had a laptop to trade in.

Anw a general observation made...this year like not alot of models arnd...and a bit of side-track here....reminds me of the days when I was in Taiwan in 2006 for a computer trade fair. The atmosphere is so much different. In Taiwan, the presence of the models are truly felt as they actively go around to promote the products and they are incredibly knowledgeable of what they are selling and not just distributing flyers...over here we have middle-aged or young student sales promoters doing that job and the models just stand arnd giving out flyers and looking very sian...heck they don't even look attentive here!

Haiz...shitty day at the bank, squeezy atmosphere, did not get everything in my wish-list, feeling damn auntie and now no babes to check out!!! Kaoz...quite a very lousy day...

Anw to end off here...a little something that I promised Kinwee over dinner, here's my upload from the Expo fair during my Taiwan trip...enjoy!! (PS: KW...pls dun look at this and get your eyes infected again hor......:p:p:p XD)
