IT Show @ Suntec
IT show was on over the past 4 days. Initially, I did not has any intention to step near the exhibition hall as I knew that tons and tons of people,from 8 months old to 80 years old, will be there! This time round there was nothing that I need to buy so in order for me not to have any temptation, I decided to stay clear of the area.
Maybe I spoke too soon! Hee....
Saturday, decided to pop in just to check on PSP price for my sis since I already promised her to get one and a friend needed to go in and get a MP3 player so in we went into the crowd! OMG! The crowd was really huge and there are a lot of choke points even before we stepped into the exhibition hall. This time round, the IT show occupied 4 floors, which means the whole area already!
Level 1: Canon Redemption Area.
Level 3: Starhub, Sony
Level 4: Major brands
Level 6: All other brands
So this time round went Sony to check PSP price but sad to say there is no promotion. Then to found out that my sis also actually at the IT show as well. Next stop Samsung, squeeze in through the crowd. Totally crazy, with so many people and most of them are either pulling a printer, LCD TV, laptop and many other things! So who say Singaporeans are poor int he first place? Hmm.... My friends got what she wanted and we got out of the place before you can say Samsung! On my way out, made a mental note that they are selling a 32" Sony LCD TV @ $899. Maybe mum is interested. Hee....
Sunday, my sis told my mum about the TV offer, got her excited and decided to go down and take a look. OMG again! On the last day the crowd is simply maddening! Seem like everyone is here for some cheap sales. I think this is one of the few times that me and my mum actually bought something on an impulse. Yes! In less than 5 mins, we are so called proud owners of the TV. Nope I did not pushed the TV all the way home, instead, it will be delivered to my house instead. My aunt was with us as well looking for a digital camera, also in less than 5 mins, she is a proud owner of Ixus 75. Wahahaha. Totally crazy!
After which, we moved out of the area double time, settled all the lucky draw and redemption stuff and end the day with dinner. Pls note that we took less than 10 mins to decide to buy, 30 mins to queue for payment and 30 mins to queue for lucky draw!
This time round although the organisers said that they expanded the walkway to 4 m but I still think they could do better. The management of the place could be done better as well. There is a few bottlenecks especially the one at Food Republic, that one is a killer and with people moving carrying hot food etc. If any one want to do anything funny, they could do it there as there are large boxes lying around at any one time. It seems that they security guard are just minding their own business at the entrance.
I also notice a lot of people just go in and collect brochures. So what is the use of doing that when you dun intend to buy anything? Like to squeeze with the crowd? After collecting the brochure, I am 99% sure that they will land up in the dustbin, worse still on the floors of the exhibition area.
One last complaint, can we bar all the parents from bringing in their baby prams into the exhibition hall. It is already so packed and yet still push a pram along. Babies, young kids and pram should be left outside the hall and have someone to look after them. IT show is not the place for leisure shopping anyway. I gena a lot of time of prams pushed to my poor leg and feet. Not to mention if the kid or baby went missing. OMG!
To survive IT show, you need to decide what you going to buy even before you step into the hall. it is possible now as all the prices would be in the newspapers anyway. Then just stay focus, go in and buy what you want and get out of the place.
Looking at everyone leaving with LVD TVs, printer, laptops... Hmm.... who say Sporeans have no money?

What an "interesting" day!
What an "interesting" day!
First of all, I found out that Mr Ok Ok lied to me yesterday and it is damn funny as well. Haa....
He went off to the toilet and to refill his water bottle I supposed, then I decided to do the same as well. So When I reached the water cooler, he was not there. When I went toilet, he was not there as well, in fact the whole toilet was empty. Next I was about to open the door and go to my table, I saw him walking out.
Hmm.... The distance to from my table to the toilet is a less than a min walk but he took more than 5 mins, so this means he is away walking one big round, not very big actually, and kapoing into others ppl's cubicle. WTF! If I saw a stranger in my cubicle, I will make sure he will never step into my cubicle again by scolding him until he cries! Haa.... Anyway I am not stalking him or what, but he needs my pass to open the door to get his ass back into the office at the moment so I am his "nanny".
Well after which, Mr Ok Ok came back and I ask him.
Polarbear (P) : U went water cooler right? How come I did not see you?
Mr Ok Ok (O): Erhh..... I went to toilet.
P: I also went but toilet empty.
O: Erhhh.... ....
P: U went to other floor toilet?
O: Ya Ya!
WTF! Outright lying in front of me! Sigh! This is only one of the stories only. There is still a lot more! How to work with these kind of ppl! Kill me now instead! I seriously doubt I can work with these kind of ppl alr. Sigh! Someone pls help me! Everyday sure got story to tell ppl one. Haa... I have never seen a loser like that before!
In fact now everyday I need to see him, I sian alr. Sigh! Hope that he get clearance done and his pass soon and I will nvr ever escort him again! I no need to care about him alr.
Haa... Met Siti and Catherine for lunch. A nice change of lunch buddies for me. Haa...
As usual gym after work, nice workout again! The class very quiet but all working very hard during combat. Boy! I was tired after it. Then LLT want to see laptop, so went over to IT Fair. The crowd there was crazy even though it was 1 hr before closing time. Saw some Toshiba laptop and the next thing we know it, she is now a proud owner of a new Toshiba laptop. Haa... All thks to me!
The poor little guy that was selling us the laptop was so funny when we went back and asked a few more questions and the next time I said was "Ok we will take one". he jz dazed down there and thought that we were joking with him. Haa.... Until I told him the 2nd time then he sprang into action. Haa.... After that was a crazy rush, to get all the free gifts and the lucky draw coupons. Haa...
After which, grab something to eat and was on our way home. Saw something or should be someone very interesting. A BIG-SIZED GAL wearing pink from head to toe with two pony tails at the side, with pink socks up to her knees! The moment I saw her, I wanna to puke and laugh at the same time! Haa... She looked DISGUSTING! How old alr? Still wanna to act cute lo! Haa.... Still got a boyfriend some more! What is wrong with his eyes? Need 2 check up his eyes alr.
The day started off with pissed off mood and to end with up happy mood, all thks to the PINK GAL! Haa....
