One polished thumb…comes with 3 reasons and highlighted key words…

i have concluded thus far of 2 things…either i won’t do blogs becos my english is bad (as in this one…not pro enough)…or i won’t do it cos i’m busy…or possibly lazy…

but tat doesn’t mean i have to leave the following entry out…cos it had been one of the more interesting half- a day of this whole hol i’ve been having…so i felt it was worthy to commemorate it here…

the day starts with an early morning…despite asking nicely of my mom to wake me at 7 the nite before…i awoke 30 mins after 7, hearing her leave the house without waking me up…so i got lazy…dragged the blanket all over my bed and then throw it into a heap and bounced of the bed…

it was the day to get down to the quiet industrial area in Kallang to fix my labtop (or lab for short)…didn’t really like going there (not tat i always do) for a few reasons…1. it’s really really really really far…2. it’s really really really quiet in tat area (tho there r ppl working there)…and 3. there is only one bus into the area and when u r waiting at the busstop opp the designated mrt carrying a lab bag, everyone knows immediately where u r headed…

so i reached the place…feeling really hot and stuffy…go up to the counter (thank God there was no queue) and told them my prob…half doubting tat they would ever believe me tat the lab is faulty (since it suddenly worked fine just before i left the house)…i told them abt the fuzzy lines tat i saw on the screen panel tat resembled an untuned TV channel…n they concluded tat my visual card is abt to break down…n then with the infamous Filippino smile…they told me since my warranty expired it will total to 500 bucks should i decided to replace the visual card tat was attached to the motherboard with a warranty of 1 month or head down to sim lim and get a pro to repair the card……obvious choice was not to do both…not the former as it’s too ex with no proper warranty…not the latter as it’s sim lim…1. it’s too far…2. it’s too scary and busky…3. i’ll get cheated (real easily)…

so i left with my lab and took a bus to the city to have pick up a bible for someone and then to raffles city (shopping mall) to get sushi…by the time when i got there i wasn’t hungry for sushi anymore…and i couldn’t find the supermarket tat sold it…so i aimlessly walked around the place hoping to spot the sale of fresh fruits when this French lady approached me and asked to see my nails?!…i usually don’t do such things as to stop n talk to strangers…becos 1. i don’t really like talking to strangers…2. i don’t really like talking to strangers tat look like they want to sell me something…3. 1 don’t want to talk to strangers…not after i saw another 2 mormons (MMs)!! on the train this same morning…so i got really nervous when she took my thumb and started to use wat looked like a sponge to polish my nails…i wanted to ask if it was gonna cost me but i couldn’t bare to as it seemed rude…so i stop short in between asking tat question and the lady assume tat i was gonna ask it was gonna hurt (*phew) and said no, it’s not gonna hurt…so in the next 5 seconds…she told me not be awestruck or surprise or faint and revealed my thumb polished and brand new-liked…now i don’t do or get manicures so i was really really surprised (even for ONE thumb)…and was even more surprised when she didn’t recommend me any products to buy afterwards (but i kinda asked her myself but knew not to buy on impulse)…and i thanked her for tat one polished thumb and head off to find the supermarket…

eventually i did find the supermarket and realised tat it was just behind tat lady’s store (i tried asking my eyes where they were looking, but they said they didn’t see it cos the thumb was bragging it’s shiny self to everyone else and they got irritated)…bought my fav blue chips (yes, blue and only blue chips, PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION!!!)…

then i thought…(and at the same time headed to…) Funan centre to check up on some labs…i figured i needed a new one (since it’s been 3 years)….but after looking thru the roadshows and the different brands of labs…i rested my heart on the sony vaio CR…MB’s been really nice to help me look thru the systems of the sony models before this…but after see it for myself…i fell in love with it momentarily…and then quickly pulled myself back to reality…it’s not tat it’s no good…it’s quite good (systems, design and all) but i feared putting to much love into the CR tat i won’t give other models, or other brands for tat matter, any chance (just to mention here tho…ever since Windows vista stabilised…iMacs don’t really stand a chance in my books)…the best part of the CR  design is prob the keyboard…it’s just so comfy…

anw…i was attended to by a young guy (don’t ask me if he is good-looking or not…u’ve been to PC shows and roadshows, u noe how they look like) and on realising tat i might be interested in getting one…he gave me his name (only) on a brochure and said he’ll top the order with a free thumbdrive and a pair of headphones…now, if u r Chinese, u know tat’s not much of a bargain (tho the package of it all already is) and u may try out the following things…1. Ask him offer more…2. Ask him to throw in an additional one year warranty free…3. Tell him u’ll tink about it first…i went with the last one cos i wasn’t buying it on the spot so it didn’t feel right to ask for more…will see how things go…

btw…abt those MMs…the ones i saw were Chinese and Indian…almost thought they were pilots before i saw the name tag…so be careful guys!!!!!….

n btw no. 2, my mom called the house 2 hours after i awoke to wake me up -_-!!!….

My new fan looks like Squidward…

despite all tat is going on…here i m writing an irrelevant entry to the event…which i believe is perfectly fine…if u really want my comments on the issue…i say tat even tho blogs r meant for u to pour out ur soul to n never retrieve it back…perhaps u might want to pour the more crude and Extremely Wrong stuff in ur own paper diary…rather than letting the whole world see n by it judge u inaccurately of the person u r…

to youngsters out there: using crude and unforgiving words doesn’t make u cool…it simply shows tat u have a limited vocabulary and can’t use any other english words that u have learnt from ur past 10 years or so of English education to convey effectively how u feel…sigh….

anw…yes…i bought a new fan…cos my old one broke down in the middle of the night…the unbearable heat!!!!…ah!!!!…so i got a new fan on sun, but had to return it the next day cos it was faulty and get another one…so THIS new one is the one tat looks like Squidward…will at least the body looks like Squidward…it’s even in a shady grey-green color…like Squiward….XD…(sorry, no pics of them tho)…
