ok, life has been pretty much happening since the last post
1) Shopping day with my mum we went to vivo city to look around btw river island was extremely tempting but i resisted, please appluad for me had lunch at chinatown, frog leg porridge, kind of like a weird timing but extremely enjoyed it went to orchard for high end shopping basically we went to like all the branded shops, LV, gucci, burberry, bottega veneta, loewe, ysl etc saw some things that i liked and there was a sale ongoing for most brands my major pitfall was at ysl where i saw the wallet i have been eyeing at for a considerably long time ad my mum was damn nice she offered to buy that in place of the samsung phone she said the price of the phone will definitely drop, can buy it next time, now can get the wallet first since its kind of a limited edition thing cos its not a classic collection
anw a look at the wallet first, there are more different colours like black and gold but this is the only picture i can find online
my mum is damn nice i know but i rejected her offer because i was confused, like phone or wallet or mp3! and i alr haf such a big dilemma on the mp3 alone. gosh
yeah, so i went home with nothing except like 2 pair of socks that you can wear with pumps. HAHA
2) date with jingting met her at raffles city shoduku my first time there food was good i think but i think it would have been better if a larger group of people went so you can try out more kinds of food we ate until our stomach almost exploded but still we didnt get to try out all and something random we spotted zhengxi at shoduku like how small can the world get after that we went to ps area bought tickets for the red cliff at the cathay den shopped at ps bought a pair of black shorts from dp attempted to go fix my phone, had some prob with my memory card but couldnt cos phone memory would be wiped out and i havent back up alll my contacts are like saved in my phone, so no, didnt get it fixed but the next day my phone is miraculously okay. getting a lil conky
anw. red cliff was AWESOME love it, although some parts was just a lil bit draggy and lin chi-ling voice was super irritating i couldnt take it and then the ending was DAMN, they ended at the most exciting part cannnot wait for the second part to be out seriously
he was super funny in the movie la. haha
and guess what something even more coincidental zhengxi was also watching red cliff at the same theatre, we saw him when we came out. GOSH, how i wish i haf such luck with dbsk/suju but unfortunately no
den we went to orchard, shopped around and then went home i rmb-ed i was super reluctant to go home because the next day i had to work
3) WORK BORING, NOT MUCH SALES as usual many ridiculous stuff happen but i decided i shant be that bad since i no longer work there alr fri was my last day but i knocked off late because i had last min sales and supervisor wasnt around to sign my time sheet when i had to knock off but i did enjoy my time working at the airport i think it's a good environment to work in and i think i learnt quite alot from my job this time. ahha
4) pam lee's bday party on sat night
ok i concluded i put too much concealer on my eyebags that i look kind of sunburnt. hmmm. but anw i dunnoe why the pictures came out with orangey lines that weren't there but yes it was good seeing old friends
we left early like around 10 plus went to kembangan station with george and waited for zhengxi to come pick us up was going to late night movie with zhengxi and yunhong
so zhengxi dropped george at ps den we went to park at paradiz bought tickets for the dark knight, 1:45a.m. at the cathay den we went to laze around at ps starbucks while waiting for yunhong
anw dark knight was superb
but horrifying for me please i was like constantly shocked by their sudden sound effects of the bullets and joker was ultimately horrifying esp the antics that he does and there were some gross scences in my opinion that is RAHHH but ultimately its good the way the filmed the thing and all
after movie we went to simpang bedok for prata like 5am in the morning. totally thanks den after that went home and i zonked out
5) bedok 85 with colleagues went back to t1 on sunday night to meet rena we went to look around at t3 nothing much i think den we went to bedok 85 with another of our colleague to eat bak chor mee, chicken wing, stingray, tang yuan omg, i am such a gluttion but the food was good discussed our thailand trip and we took a midnight cab home
ok, tmr i am going down to collect my pay and i need to pack tmr flying off to bkk on wed morning, super early flight and it would be 5 days of fun at bkk shopping and eating pls hope i bump into dbsk there cos apparently they may hold a press conference, nt very sure and i am too lazy to check out and hopefully i dont overspend again at bkk, just sufficient loot will do
alright, till the next update abt the bkk trip (:

i had a taste of what the fastest finger game was like on wednesday seriously i admit i was like TOO SLOW. i was like blur and didnt know i had to press confirm when i click "add courses in stars" IN THE END
fugly timetable for me it ain't exactly THAT fugly apparently my AA202 tcher is good and i am in the same class as lou, some bit of comfort here and my AC213 tcher is good too. btw AC213 is IT so i need all the help i can get and again i know people in my cls like lou, poh lu, shanielle so its NOT THAT BAD on the contrary my AA201 tcher is supposedly to be not good according to sources and the timing is DAMN WEIRD and then there is a VACANCY meaning its kind of like an unwanted slot my AB214 tcher shld be okay since i have not heard anything but i NEEED to switch my AB214 class during add drop in hope of switching to a good AA201 tcher cos the timing OBSTRUCTS EVERYTHING AB228A cls is not so bad because at least i am in the same class as vivien, like the only one and its friday morning, not friday afternoon and it only last for 5 weeks but in overall i think my timetable is kind of sucky considering i have to travel next sem and all unless i cab like almost everyday my best hopes now is to get better slots during the add drop period seriously i conclude the fastest finger game SUCKS. PERIOD
ok the very best thing that i can do to cheer myself up regarding the timetable is that ultimately i still end my exams early and just in time for SM TOWN FESTIVAL CONCERT AT THAILAND AT 29TH NOV! HOHO. i hope joy and jingting can end their exams early or sth happen such that we can all go together!
now moving on the a big dilemma i had since the holidays started WHICH MP3 PLAYER SHOULD I GET?! i keep changing my mind over the holidays so i was thinking maybe readers of this blog can give me SOME help
1) Apple iPod Nano 8GB Red
Why buy? because i have been using the 1st generation and the design is pretty and small plus if i am really going to get it i will have it engraved online so i will have a pretty mp3 player and i have no problems navigating myself since i have been using it
Why don't buy? because iTunes is the ultimate irritant with it not being to read wma files and i have to convert everytime resulting in a bigger file size and hence less storage of songs and i am super lazy i hate adding music to iTunes it gets out of control and hard to manage. in addition you waste your computer storage space by having different file types of the same song plus iPod has NO RADIO, not that i need it desperately but sometimes u just want to listen to the radio when you get sick of your music or sth. plus iPod battery life really sucks like hell and i think i will get myself a travel adaptor if i get an iPod again since the battery runs out so fast plus iPod nano 4GB only comes in silver, a colour which i do not like. cos if i get the nano, the screen is so small i don't think i will put that many videos inside and i wont need 8GB memory, 4GB will be more ideal but i just don't like silver electronics plus iPod's earphones sucks like hell too if you dont keep them properly they just give you bad sound quality like my ipod now and the screen is super small la, strain my eyes only
2) Sony Walkman A728 8GB in either pink or white
Why Buy? Because i have staff discount i can get it at a price that is cheaper than the market, even the airport and i get a leather pouch that is tailor made for it, a LCD screen protector and a travel charger plus the battery life is DAMN GOOD. the best out of all the mp3 players i am considering so far plus i get the 13.5 ex headphones which are in-ear and noise cancelling. i particularly hate to listen mp3 at the bus stop because when the bus comes or sth, you just dont hear your music, i think the noise cancelling ones will make it better plus there is no need for any software, file transferring is drag and drop, in simpler terms u just copy and paste plus there is all the DSEE, clear stereo and blah blah sound technologies that make the music sound better plus the screen is big enough for me to indugle in my videos
Why don't buy? Because it had no radio and the file formats that sony can read is quite restricted, particularly the video part i think i have to convert my video formats or sth if i get this
3) Sony Walkman S616F 4GB in Black/White/Pink/Red
Why get? Because again i have staff discount and i can get a travel charger plus its like the iPod Nano, small and handy plus it has FM Radio, more enjoyment plus the battery life of the player owns any iPod hands down plus there is no need for software, drag and drop plus there is the DSEE and other audio technologies that enhance my songs quality
Why don't get because the screen is smaller than the ipod nano, making it even worse for me to watch videos and the file format issue
4) Creative Zen 8GB Black
Why get? Because it is CHEAP, i can also get it at staff discount since i know the creative promoters, getting it will mean that i am more likely to get my samsung F480 plus i get a travel adaptor too and maybe good earphone-negotiable plus the memory is exapandable with a SD card slot, so i can always put in a 8GB memory card and max it to 16GB or sth plus the resolution of the screen is the best out of all the mp3 players i am considering, good for viewing videos plus it supports many file formats, i think the most out of all mp3 players i am considering too plus it has all sorts of nonsense functions, most impt it has radio, plus voice recorder, organizer and alarm, seriously functions i wont use at all plus u can always change the background of the menu, which means i can have a dbsk/suju background! HOHO
Why don't get Because i do not like the design, its kind of plastic, doesnt feel solid enough and it only comes in black plus i dont exactly find the navigation buttons user friendly plus the battery life for videos is not very good, 5 hours only, sony models are like 10 hours plus i heard my colleagues say that there are some feedback saying that the player hangs sometimes and the startup time of the player is the longest out of all the mp3 players i am considering and there is a new model of zen that is launching soon which is the next model i am considering
5) Creative Zen X-Fi 8GB
Why get it? Because i can get it at staff discount, i hope, its cheap plus there is the X-Fi technology which makes the music sound as if it comes for a speaker which i actually suspect that it may not be very good for long term listening plus the earphone that come with it are in-ear ones which is noise cancelling plus there is a built in speaker so i can blast the music when i feel like it plus the design is a LITTLE bit nicer than the zen model, more solid and not so plastic plus the battery life is a LITTLE bit better than the zen, 36 hrs of music plus the memory is also expandable and the wide file format support and other good advantages that i listed under zen
Why don't get it Because i don't really like the design either, the 9 button thing is like WTH?! plus i don't like the navigation of the zen model, i doubt i will like the navigation of this either plus the battery life of videos is not that good again plus its a new model i am really not sure of what the feedback is like i don't like to be a guinea pig
ok, i hope you get why i am having troubles deciding which mp3 to get anw just to let you know that ipod nano should be the last choices of all, i think now i am waiting for the feedback of the ZEN X-Fi to see how is it, my first choices are probably the ZENs or the sony A728 if you can give my any advice, pls do so on the tagboard. THANKS (:
any work now sucks because there is no crowd. everybody suffers a drop in their sales and i have been doing randomly nonsensical stuff like helping customers add songs into their ipod, changing price tags and spying on koreans SOMETIMES. seriously just sometimes i like try to imagine what i will do if i suddenly see DBSK walking around the boarding area in front of my shop. my best conclusion is i will HECK care everything, even if i am serving some big shot customer and dash towards them and say hi or sth. haha. you see the crowd is like so little that i can fantasize about such NONSENSICAL and IMPRACTICAL stuff fortunately i have just 2 more weeks to go and then i will fly off the bkk with rena where we will have technically 4 days of food, shopping, relaxation, fun and laughter and then SCHOOL WILL START seriously i really dread a semester, it is always frought with work that will never be cleared and then my blog will be frought with endless complaints. its like 4 more semesters to graduation and i have survived through 2. i am just trying to tell myself that i am already almost halfway through so its not so bad. TRYING TO STAY POSITIVE SERIOUSLY
New - How do you get a guy to like you? was highly amused by this. anw this was the result that i got from my first try. PERFECTLY honest and the next few tries resulted in horrible results so i shant say. anw different result comes out if u key in ur name without ur sirname or different format of your birthday or like typing blue instead of electric blue that i typed and so on
ok, to the results of the quiz WHY IS YOOCHUN MY LOVER. i don't want anything scandalous or whatsoever to do with him since i only find him more handsome in real life than what i see in videos or picures. haha and WHY IS JAEJOONG MY HUSBAND. as much as i think that he is good husband material, better than changmin in fact, i still want changmin as husband because seriously he's like OMGOMGOMG. haha i was trying to imagine junsu as a brother and i just carnt help but find it funny. i probably will like laugh almost every minute of my life at this dorky and innocent brother of mine.
and i seriously like their new japanese single. DAMN NICE AND ADDICTIVE! Why did I end up falling in love with you - DBSK [English Subbed and Romanization]
oh anw i bought a canon multifunctional printer on tuesday. visited funan and found it at a good deal. got free items like 30 sheets of glossy photo paper and a targus laptop bag BUT due to the irritating window vista OS which i highly suspect my desktop cannnot recognise the printer driver and i cannnot use it at all except to photocopy stuff and print photos from SD card now. and calling canon was ultimately irritating cos i kept getting diverted to different people although all the people were friendly and nice talking to me and the conclusion was a service man will come down and look at what is wrong on monday afternoon
and i seriously need to do a complete makeover of my studyroom SOON. before the sem starts. its in a complete mess. my loot from korea is like lying around on the floor pls, have no time to tidy it up. SERIOUS. also need to shift some furniture here and there so as to make it conducive for me to study in the room next sem since i wont be staying in hall
ok, a pretty long post. pls give me advice on the mp3 players if you can. i need to get one before school starts. i don't want to die of boredom on the mrt rides

going to blog about some of the major events that have happened since the korea trip
1) collected my first pay for the holiday jobs that i have been working, $400+ dollars, not alot but at least to cover up some of the damage done during the holidays
2) went out with jingting like 2 days after i came back for some MOVIE MARATHON. caught the black book and SATC black book was FABULOUS. 5 stars rating please. as usual its war films that have this kind of effect on me but its more on like spies rather than warfare. really superb. i may get the dvd if its out alr SATC was nice too but black book was better for me. haha. and i know i caught SATC super late but i just didnt have the time and the company?
3) clubbed on one wed to celebrate dawn's birthday. beeeen a super long time since i saw the girls. clubbing wasnt really fun. we kind of left phuture at like 2plus. and the great thing was i still had work on thursday la! i almost couldnt crawl out of bed and i was like a living zombie during work. and rena ps-ed me. i had to continue working on friday. so on friday, i went home and ZONK OUT
some pictures taken
seriously this is the best retarded photo u can get of meiting la. haha!
4) i dyed my hair. guess what colour. BLACK. i was kind of sick of the 2 tone hair that i have so time to return to black but i guess i was kind of scared that i have TOTAL BLACK hair so i wanted to at least get some highlights plan was to highlight purple but the hairdresser told me my hair so black, must bleach to see the purple so i highlighted like mahogony in the end, which is kind of purplish red but more of red la i totally have a black helmet sitting on my scalp now. i am serious
5) went out with lou someday to shop. i know i am not suppose to shop but window shopping is afterall not a crime right. didnt find any clothes that i fancied. i guess korea has upped my standards when looking for clothes. but guess what i got that day, a pair of lacoste pumps. been eyeing it for a long time and suddenly that day i couldnt find it, it was either OOS of nowhere to be found so i quickly went to hunt for it and got it
6) suppose to go out with jingting and lishan one day but lishan ps-ed because her phone spoil. that day me and jingting had a huge korean spread of korean bbq and seaweed soup and the other small dishes until we were super full. i am still addicted to korea food seriously. haha. and we watched WANTED that day which is kind of a ridiculous show with a ridiculous ending but some parts are nice but i seriously think black book is the best movie i caught during the holidays
7) laid my eyes on the new samsung F480 touchwiz phone because its SO SIMILAR to the anycall haptic phone that dbsk endorsed. i bet samsung modified it for the singapore market 5MP camera and that user interface! i super cannnot resist la! gosh. i think sooner or later i will just succumb to temptation and get the phone but i am still looking at the prices. but to say the truth, i have alr decided to get the phone now the big question is WHEN. haha and u know my priority this hols was to like change my mp3 player. i need to like burn my apple ipod 1st gen nano in hell alr. its DAMN CUI. i am like listening to conk out music now and then. and if i get the phone i think i will go budget and go for the creative zen but then again i heard that creative is coming out with a new one so i guess i will wait first. haha. many decisions to make
8) met up with shuting today! its like almost a year since i last saw her. it was a short meeting but it was nice to just GOSSIP as usual abt the pple we know. TSK TSK.
9) rest of the days are either spent lazing at home or working. i am super into reading now i have no idea why. nowadays during my 1hr break at work u will find me at the lounge reading. haha. anw i kind of want to share some of the ridiculous stuff that i encountered during work
- initially i was neutral abt the iphone until i got discriminated by this guy at work. so he has an iphone and he came to the shop and asked "where can i find the iTrip?" my first reaction was "what?" seriously i have never heard of it, i am not THAT IT savvy let alone Apple savvy and den guess what he said to me "Can i pls speak to a guy?" seriously fuck. u think girls are not that IT savvy right. FINE. like i want to serve you like that pls. got iphone v big isit. wait till i get my hands on my samsung phone and SOOOOT u back la! and he went around testing the speakers with his iphone and when his songs played, he announce to like the whole shop "this works with iphone!" i seriously think my life is filled with the most ridiculous irritants u can ever find and because of that incident and also of my inbuilt devotion to samsung. i kind of condemn the iphone whenever i can now. haha =x
- some ridiculous guy came up to me and ask whether he could buy a mp4 player that cost less than S$50. seriously. u wait long long maybe one will drop down from the sky and u can get it for free ya. i mean the cheapest mp3 players cost around $70? and u want to get a mp4 player for less than S$50?! has he been like living in a cave or sth. ain't he aware that oil prices are rising? or maybe that guy think that when oil prices rise prices of mp3 players will drop. totally ridiculous
- and if you think the above was RIDICULOUS enough. wait till u read this. 2 guys actually mistook the ipod nano cover, that cost $36 for the real ipod. meaning the player itself OHMYGOODNESS GRACIOUS. i almost fainted when i explained to them its the cover and showed them the real stuff which costs like $222. when can these people ever wake up from their dreams?!
- enough of those people who live in denial. let me talk abt some pple who are like ignorant. some pple really have no idea what the ipod is. actually such ignorant pple think ipod = mp3 players. i have customers telling me " can i have a look at the samsung ipod?" it took alot for me to tell them that the one they are looking at is not the ipod and to show them the real ipod. seriously there is at least 1 ignorant customer everyday. it aint my mission to educate them on mp3 players ya?
- let's move on to the rich. recently i got this rich family who wanted to get ipod but don't know how it looks like. so when we showed them the ipod the father just threw his credit card at us WAHLAO EH. GOT CREDIT CARD V BIG ISIT. need to throw at pple! and then when we ask him which ipod he wants. he just continue pushing his credit card to us. WTF seriously and another ridiculous case i heard from my colleauge. some guy was buying the ipod classic 160GB. and then there was another guy. so guess what the other guy did. he asked my colleague for the exact same thing that the guy got. and when my colleague showed him. he asked my colleauge what is it. why is it so heavy. TELL ME. will u faint on the spot? throwing out like $500+ on something u dont know just because some other person got it? my goodness. pls dont anyhow throw ur money, you want you can like GIVE IT TO ME and rest assure i will put it to quality spending.
- another ridiculous thing i heard was pple mistook portable dvd players for laptops. again pple who live in self denial
ok, i know i am being a complete bitch here but u see these things are absolutely ridiculous to me and if i dont share it i feeel like its being cooped up in me. haha. ok. i know i will get the karma someday and thats all for this post
