an early saturday morning.. cannot sleep till sun shine on backside then wake up ah.. arranged to go to an idp seminar with my roomie-to-be, ben. wasn't really something very enriching for me though. ben wanna do some shopping and so i led him around orchard road. he commented that i seemed so professional in leading the way around.. haha.. i told him it was part of my working routine to be walking around orchard.. hiak hiak..

bade good bye to ben ard noon. met up with kp & jm and did a lil' bit of shopping. kp and i got ourselves some briefs and socks at john little. (yah.. i'm not a boxer person..) kp won some voucher at his company event lucky draw mah.. i especially love the bum sock in brazil colors.. heh ;) then we took the mrt down to chinatown. YES.. !! ME. MELVYN. IN CHINATOWN. that is like the last place i'm thinking of going during CNY period. i never once fancied the thought of jostling thu crowds in a non-aircon environment like chinatown. (C'Mon.. orchard on wkends is bad enough. but chinatown?!) Since kp asked.. i told him i was fine with that.. it was an eye opener coz i hadn't been there during cny period for at least half a decade. some tourist were taking photos and after kp helped them take a photo, i ask for a return of the favour.. And boy! was i was happy with taking pix with the guys.. coz they might juz prove to be some good keepsake for bringing over to aussie..(oh gawd.. btw, that's me with my lil' beardo below. heh.. juz wanted to try something different.. comments anyone..?) kp initially wanted to get some ba kwa from a certain stall but on seeing the queue, he gave up the idea. haha.. off to bishan we went. got the ONE thing that i wanted the most to get for my impending aussie trip. A Digicam. I'm so God-Damn satisfied with it.. My very own FX9. gosh.. the goodies were great too. in all, 2 lithium batteries. 2 512MB SD Card. a mini tripod. a camera bag. a travel charger. a camera cleaning kit. all these for SGD$685. kp was so impressed by the camera too and he got a set too! his was a red one while mine is black. all charged under my credit card he got a 2% discount too! that's like 15 bucks less for each of us. not bad eh? meanwhile, i benefitted by earning the credit card points of his purchase. heh ;) Oh yah! we each got 14 tickets to a lucky draw at Best. top prize being a car. wow.. if i win i will surely sell it.. hehe.. aiya.. i think it's fat hope lah..


hee.. it was a happy day out with the guys..
