A New Toy...

As they say, when children get their toy, initially they will get all excited bt it will die down after a week later. I hope I will not face this.

Have u seen the news? OMG the crowd at the IT fair is horrendous. Much more compared to last year! Yes there is recession and wad tis. I guess it becoz vendors put in more freebies at a much lower rate which in turn snowball the effect of attracting more crowd.

Its the mindset "its recession! so the price will definitely drop alot" and tis factor contributes to the increasing crowd. I look at the floor and shake head. All those discarded pamphlets just fill up every corner of the floor. nt really environment friendly lor. I mean why cant they juz put up electronic boards to show their pricings and promos instead of wasting paper.

Tis cld save cost as well. Sad, dono how many trees died coz of tis 4 days.
Back to my new toy. initially, when i showed mum the pamphlet, she wasn't to please with the price. So i say buy next yr lor.

Then when i come to terms tat I wldnt be getting tis thing till next yr. Dad raise the issue again. And he say go buy it. We went to mustafa bt the deals weren't enticing.

So dad drove mum, sis and I to Suntec Convent. Ok on the way, smth bad happen. The car entering Suntec convent were so long tat our car and several others were stucked at the box junction. Then it was green light for the car on the left from nicoll highway.

And what's infuriating is tat since the car in front cant move, how do u expect the cars on the box junction to move! They then started horning. The horns will bloody loud!!! And they kept reveleating the engines to make those vrrom vrroom sound to scare us. -_- Its not one car horning but 30 over cars plus buses. Imagine the chaos plus the ppl that were jaywalking too.
"Gracious city" sry LKY, i guess its a long way to go.

Mum accompanied to buy and strolling to the booth was not at all easy. Wad to do. When we reach the booth, saw the thing, test it, buy it. ANd paying is so fast, gt exclusive priority queue but redeeming the items is very long. The queue for redemption were uber long tat is coils 2 rounds around the huge booth.

Mum was quite unhappy so she asked the sales guy, are there any other faster ways to redeem. Thankfully, the director florence goh came and say it can be redeemed at AMKHub.

So the next day, after work. I went to AMK hub to collect. Florence was very friendly.
And there were so many free gifts!! and its out of expectation kind of free gift.
Ended up having to fill three bags.

It was quite tough carrying coz i still have to take train to pasir ris. And it was quite crowded. Then at dhoby ghaut, patrol police came in and i pray hard tat they don't come to me and mess up my package. in the end they didn't. phew.

After a grueling 3hrs, finally reach hme. As promised, if i maintain my GPA, mum will buy me a camera. And yes tat hope came true. It's a DSLR. =)
& the director were so generous. She gave mum yesterday $100 taka voucher + Sony carrying case, + 2 Battery + two 8GB Card + Screen Protector + Tripod + Dry Box to protect the camera + 160GB HDD + this one i didnt expect at all, a digital Photo Printer.
I cldn't expect more. for the price i pay, its really really value for money. even my mum who object in the 1st place, tink its worth it. actually, tis is wad i wan if my mum is not happy buying for me, i wldnt be happy as well. so its gd.

Sony Alphaand tis is my committment to bring higher resol pictures to andyboirepublic. especially food!
will bring in more food reviews after attachment.
