Beautiful Sunny Day...I mean Sunday

Sunday is my lazing around day...normally.


My Off Day, no cooking, that means no washing of dirty oily plates. Come to think of it, my plates are hardly oily, coz I hardly ever fry anything, except for those that oozes out from meats when I'm baking them in the oven. But I do fry eggs sometimes, but I used only olive oil.


I went to Geographer on Friday nite. Yes, it will be my favourite haunt for the next few months to come. Reason number One - It's another Thai Pub!! No more going to Golden Mile for the time being. The Thai Pub there has more or less lose its flavour... sigh, can someone bring back its former self please!


Geographer is located on 2nd level of Block D @ Clarke Quay. Started last October. I wasn't aware of its existence until last Sunny Day nite.. I mean Sunday nite when I received 3 missed calls...from a Singapore cellphone lah! As usual, I'm not in the habit of returning unknown missed calls, especially from a cellphone.


The caller called again and it turned out to be my bestest buddy - Ken! He is back in town and is performing @ Geographer.


I knew Ken the same time I knew Max. Or I knew them both together the same nite. Ken - the percussionist with my favourite Thai Band - NOVA, is a very nice gentleman! Max was the lead male singer in Nova Band back then when I knew him.


The Nova Band this time is a 'refurbished' one. Except for Ken, the other two guitarist and Lisa - the lead female singer, the rest are new faces to me.


I was busy with Shane during weekdays, and I only take a break on alternate Fridays or Saturdays, relaxing and chilling out with my friends, or just lazing by the pool. So I didn't have time to meet and catch up with Ken. In fact, Ken went Taiwan with Max last year after their stop in Singapore and it was him (Ken) who gave my blog the one-missed-call entry last year. He really is a good friend, always looking out for me when I go drinking at the Thai Pub back @ Golden Mile then. I remembered how he celebrated my birthday at the pub with Max and Ange, another bestest buddy (3 weeks in advance coz he and Max would be gone by the time I turned a year older), Ken got me a 'fishball' birthday cake, piping hot and fresh out of the fryer and God knows where he got the candles, lighted and planted them on the fishballs.

I remembered getting teary eyes when I said goodbye to him at the airport last year. So glad to have him back again. He is really a good friend. A great buddy. Cheers to Sisterhood! =)

Finally, I went to Geographer with Ange last Friday. Two silly drunkards!

Ken, deliberately looking dumb.

Pretty Lisa

Pole Dancing @ Geographer. The dancer on the right is prettier, sweeter than the one on the left. I was seated right in front where the action was!

Our Silly Shots!

And I finally completed my tour @ The IT Fair today!! Yippee.... got what I wanted, a new desktop!

I'm currently using IBM ThinkPad X40. It's for work. Like it, except it belongs to my firm. I deliberated for quite sometime, not knowing whether to get a laptop or desktop, checking around and finally decided on this deskstop - HP Pavillion A1377D. This set came with a free all-in-one color printer (HP PSC 1402) and they also gave me a free upgrade to 1024MB DDR-2 533MHz Ram. But its processor is only a Pentium 4 - 519K (3.06GHz; 1M L2 Cache; 533FSB). I actually wanted to get the one with Pentium 4 Processor 640 (3.2GHz; 2MB L2 Cache; 800FSB). I don't really know how big the different is, although the sales guy told me 'not much different lah' but the price sure is a lot 'different'. I opted out the free upgrade to 19" LCD, sticked to 17" and received a further $200 off.

So now I can finally install my Adobe Photoshop!! Yeh...bye bye wrinkles cha cha cha!!!!!

You know what, I love the Epson printer, the one which you can scan in old negatives and print them out, looking very nice! Maybe I'll get them next time for Dad. Dad has a huge collection of photographs, of us, his cute kids when we were young, since babes!! Taken with his all-time favourite Rolei camera. Dad loves Rolei cameras, he used to work in Rolei in Germany in his early twenties. He actually converted most of his photographs into slides, so very often, when we were younger, we would gather around our living room after dinner, eagerly waiting for Dad's projection show, eating ice-creams. We don't have a screen, and so Dad projected it onto the wall. We loved the in-between changing of trays moments, coz we can performed hand-shadows show on the wall! Dad is a camera/photography freak, like Me. Maybe I inherited this from him although he loves to take us as his model, unlike me, photographing myself most of the time! LOL.

I saw the new Sony W50, with ISO 1000 and 6 Mega Pixel. There's an inbuilt 32 mb internal memory as well, so you can at least save those last minute pics when you have max-out the capacity of your memory stick, although it may not save a lot, but if you don't mind the print-out quality, you can save quite a lot in VGA or 1 MP mode. It's very light though and it can take very good quality pics despite taking with shaky hands but the flash must be turned on. This acts like an anti-shake function and this is what we call High Sensitive ISO function. The higher it is, the better your prints will be, whether in low light or shooting fast moving subjects or with shaky hands! A pity it's not in the T-series, otherwise, I will surely get it. T-series are often very sleek and sexy and they come with internal folded-optics zoom lens.

Oh.. I bought the Osim Uzap... now see whether I can have a trimmer slimmer body or not. Give me six months!! Haha...

Little young man was pretty restless most of the time. Fortunately I brought along his stroller, so he can comfortably sit in it playing his PSP while his Mommy loses herself in all the gadgets! But I rewarded him with a Duckie Tour again later that evening. I was so exhausted, I actually dozed off!!! Shane had to wake me when we arrived back at Suntec. So embarrassing!!

Its cheaper when you are not a tourist! Half price okay. Just show your ID.
