A day of crowds and tired eyes

hello.

*stoned*

The Morning...

got 5 hrs of slp, woke up at 920am. GEEEEZZZ - so early.
thought I could do a lil research on the laptops that I looked at on Thurs [I went to COMEX on thurs.. those pple that said would probably accompany me... ALL DITCHED ME LAST MINUTE. But Its Ok. I'm a friendly, easy-going, peace-loving girl] aft mum left home with bro, to send him to sch.

5 to 10mins later, she calls back...
"Chinfee, you send your brother to school so I have time to bathe and rest" - because we were expecting to get my laptop today at comex, and wanted to go early, like when i opened at 12pm...

So Filial-&-Dutiful-Chauffeur-Chinfee says "alright"
waits at home for another 15 - 20 mins before she sees the car and the passenger
[the nice hazel coloured Saab, and the brother]
The mother took that long to make a U-turn
[before expressway, so cant be that hard right?]
mother: "chinfee... your brother has to be in school by 1030, you know"
[my fault liao, lor]

1st crowd of the day.
CTE Traffic Jam. But with my skillful driving, Chinleong reaches his destination with 10 mins to spare! - and an easy drive home.. ok, so i wasnt paying attention.

The Afternoon...

I reach home with half hour to spare, so I check out one of Dell's laptops - Inspiron 510m priced at $2,547!!!!! Anyway, I got ready, and we left the house soon after.. for COMEX 2004.

Bloody Parking was HORRIBLE! But we got a DAMN COOOOOOOOOL Parking Lot... Eventually... Those that are 2 tiered. the back row lots are against the walls.. so if the back row can fit 3 lots, the front/2nd row will fit 2 cars... and those 2 "front"cars are parked on the machine which will slide the car left/right depending on which lot, from the 1st row, needs to be filled/emptied. - Ok la.. this my1st time with those machines.. quite fun to press the buttons. ;p

And then... I spent abt 5 hours.. squeezing thru the crowds of Comex with mum.. comparing the laptop specs. Felt kinda bad, coz kept on returning to P.A Mart's booth to Skim off the sales man there.. I met him before, at Funan, when I went with Alethea to check out Laptops for her use in AU. He was really helpful, and there was probably some affinity coz we found out by coincidence that we were in the same school, he and I - SIM. He, in Information Systems and Mgmt, and I, the girl-who-cant-programme-"hello world"-who-transfered-from-that-course to BSc Biz. -- Mum was really impressed at his sales skills.. *hahaha* and she said he was quite cute.. *AHAHHAHAHAAHAH*

... moving on... I eventually, after 5 long hours [had a lunch break ard 230pm - Congress LAKSA!!! Totally *YUM*, but maybe coz we were quite tired & hungry] , got the DELL Inspiron 700M. Cool white tones, 1.7KG, abt a week old in sg; 3mths old in US. so its a new model. go chekc it out.. i got it at $2323 + $125 (for 256 memory upgrade).. OK, I hope I made a good choice.. Felt bad abt totally and obviously skimming Lennon (the PA Mart's sales guy) for information and advice.

ooooohh.. got really good.. no, Fantastic.. NO.. FANTABULOUSLY EXCELLENT buys! - Branded Clothes Sales. HAhahHAhAH..

The Evening...

I head to PS for dinner with some of the Womad grp - Boon, Eddie, Verity, Crystal. and we met pple along the walk to Fort Canning.. Bit of an unpleasent glitch with communications. THe main tix holder was late, and quite a number of them hadda wait outside.. only those with concession passes had their tix coz Verity bought for us beforehand.

Womad was not bad.. I napped for abt 20mins in the early part, according to Dames, whom i met there with another friend of his.. Hope they didnt feel left out coz they didnt really know my salsa gang of friends. Then again, I didnt know half the pple in the group.. SO THERE!

And did some Aura reading.. spent unnecessary money on that and my gluttony took me to all the food stalls..... Had quite a delish hotdog thou i wasn't hungry. *oops*

well, in short, my Aura reading went like this:
Layer 1: Yellow - Cheerful, Peace-loving, Healthy disposition
Layer 2: Pink - Caring, Loving and Generous
Layer 3: Green - I have a good sense of Balance and Harmony in life
Layer 4: Orange - If I wanted to be in a Leadership role, I just have to set my mind to it. And I have Inate Acting Skills
Layer 5: Peach - I can understand Abstract Information easily
Layer 6: Gold - Needs conviction and faith to follow through life goals; lacking in self-motivation/ personal direction at the moment - wld be harder to pull thru crossroads now
Layer 7: Beige - Easy-going, Relationships are important to me

- Yeah, generally all my colours are Light/ Gentle tones, so thats supposedly a good sign.
- The Aura on my right side was stronger than my left. The colours were faint on the left.
- She couldnt see anything at the bottom.. but the colours were strong abv my head.

OK... go see their site if you're interested.. ;p

Kinda gone all wonky now... Bed.
