Before I start:
Heh! I went to Comex IT Show at Suntec City Exhibition Centre on Sunday! Really really lots of people there that no taxi driver at Bukit Timah would pick me up to go there xD
So I went there via MRT, and the whole area is literally flooded with people all the way from CityLink mall to Suntec City. Extremely crowded that just about anyone will find it hard to move about. Reached Suntec City at around 5 PM. I went myself, because most of my boarding school friends have went home to Malaysia. So yeah.
My cousin was hanging about there as well. Went to the SingTel booth (well, not booth, because their area takes up the space of a ballroom :D) to check out phones. The queue for new broadband subscribers was like 20 metres long D: I saw Samsung Omnia and tested it out too :D And also there's a mini-HTC booth within that SingTel area, but unfortunately the Touch Diamond was available for demo at that point of time.
Anyway, there were just lots and lots of people; and so I went to Food Republic to eat a little first. Similarly, there were no seats available, so I just stood and ate at the sides like many people did.
Actually I wanted to get a new hard disk casing to replace my old one (the old USB connector is spoilt!). But initially I went up to fourth floor (there were 5 floors for the exhibition, and a total of 33,000 sq. ft. of space or so they claim), but only saw all the big names such as Acer, Asus, Dell, etc. Well yeah. So I just looked around first.
Jonathan (Lau) joined me at the sixth floor (there's no fifth floor :D) at the HTC booth, and he spent 20 minutes looking for me although I've told him the exact location :D Just too many people. There's a dedicated HTC booth this time, and yeah, I managed to demo the Touch Diamond. It looks pretty cool :D And easy to use. The touchscreen is more sensitive than as claimed by critics (probably my taste), but it's a costly $1008. Probably buying it sometime with a mobile plan.
So we hanged around, sourcing for gadgets here and there. But couldn't find a hard disk casing which was cheap D: There's one that retails at $129 but it was REALLY FAR TOO EXPENSIVE =.="
That's $129 just the casing. At around 8 PM price slashes started to occur. So we spotted at Western Digital external hard disk, 250 GB selling just at $129! That's exactly the same as the casing o_o And yeah since it's more worth it, I bought it. And with an extra 1 dollar (which Jonathan paid), Western Digital would give the backup software (Acronis True Image) away! Well yeah! Quite a worthwhile buy. But I only have to undergo the hassle of transferring my old stuff.
With that purchase we were eligible for a lucky draw. But didn't win anything; because there were literally thousands of lucky draw sheets in the box.
With that, pictures! But blame the poor quality to me moving about and the camera itself.
Happy Birthday Marzie!
And hope your grandma gets well soon :D
