unfettered by the hordes which could only be classified under nerd-dom, i went against my better instincts and trudged my way to comex, singapore's greatest computer fair. though, i am not sure if it's the largest computer showing around anymore, because every other month, there's some other computer exhibition boasting itself to be the incumbent in town. there's the pc show, then sitex and now comex. perhaps dumex might come around soon too? i'm just confused with the differences between these trade fairs. but then again, it's not my biggest concern.
anyways, arriving at the doors was a huge, glitzy affair. greeted by many vendor reps that lined the aisles as i walked past, it was almost a red-carpet affair. except, instead of flashy light bulbs, i was overwhelmed by flyers shoved into my hands; whereupon it was supposedly a red-carpet, it's now just a passage littered with unwanted paper paraphernalia. so much for daydreaming.
pictures! got myelf a nifty sound system from harmon/kardon and bought an hewlett-packard tablet for my dad. so, another computer victim bites the dust. any other victims out there?
p.s. just a shout out to auggie. thanks for being porter of the day. and theresa too. for just being there.

the non-compromising sleek, black tablet looks better than my macbook air already.

uncle!鸡背去骨!
I got the before-upgraded version of this HP laptop last year and I think it isn't that fantastic... Giving me problems every now and then...
Arrgghh! And I saw you!!! Nah... Is actually someone who looks like the younger version of you in school. But I know it isn't you, of course. And it's kinda scary to see someone virtual in real life. Haha!
(auggie) surely, after your ops right? take a rest and don't think too much about such cravings first. will take you out first thing you recuperate, ok?
(763092) shucks, i always judged it based on the exterior. hang on a second, you mean it's scary to see me? hmm, i gotta check the mirror.
Hey des, I met the sales gal at Dell booth again the next day and she said u lied!! You never go back and buy the laptop from her. I said ohh...he got it from HP le ! She bang her heart!!!HAha
got new post! haha~ come accross here again XD kinda busy with the bloody treasury and risk management module =_="
need more brain cell to blog now... haha~ new lappy eh.. touch screen somemore... XD
what is the processing speed for this lappy? It drive me crazy last time since it's kinda slow like turtle sia...
(thes) i think the keyword was "IF". remember? besides, she was supposed to throw in some goodies for us, which she didn't. or more like couldn't. tough luck for her, my heart goes out to her. but still the best choice wins.
(rex) hmm... i am not very good with the specs. actually, i don't know what's the processing speed even!!
Hey...dont u have a MacBook Air already?
-KaY
omg... god bless you des. haha...
anyway, it look cool in my perspective. if the inner is not good but still it look cool and nice. cheers!
Don't we all buy laptops and computers just to use them and never bother about what details or functions they can actually perform, in a way, not fully utilizing it.
Okay, (italic) most of us.
Hello for the first time.
Ah-ha, never judge a book by its cover. Likewise the laptop. But you don't bother with the specs... So... Shall judge the exterior. Haha!
Yes it's scary to see you! No need to check the mirror. You look too tough=fierce.
Better to look more geeky. Haha! =p
U are good. Manage to Chop 2 good deals in a day...For me Comex & Pc show etc are timewhen I wish I have lotsa $$$$. Y issit that they also have this event when Im poor for the month:(

U managed to get 2 good deal in a day, thats very good!
I hate it cos they comex times are time when I'm really broke:(
Anyway, i njoy reading your blog :)
(kay) yes i do, but this new hardware seems more palatable than my crawling macbook air. multiple operations will drag it to a crawl, i don't know why.
(rex) how blonde are we? just looking at the exterior only. haha. at least we've got something in common.
(musicgetsthebestofme) haha, i've found another likeminded soul on the internet. hello for the first time too. =]
(noise) well, it's good that the computer fairs are at times when you're broke. at least you won't be spending more than you already should. thanks for dropping by anyways, looking forward to hear more from you.
