So I went to the IT Fair at Suntec on Friday. It was a day off from the good A level results, and it happens to be a tradition in MJ they don't wish to break. Before that, I went to get my haircut at some new place my brother recommended me. The cut was good, but the copious amounts of gel he put on my hair, that is usually very dry, Didn't really suit my liking. Made me look a bit beng.
Anyway, I also went to Bras Basah to get my specs tightened, from many weeks ago when I was playing a match against HCI, and clumsily ran myself into the fence when I was running desperately to save a shot. There, I scouted for some time for an elusive 2008 Physics TYS.
I made my way to the Fair, a bustling hub of zombie hordes (yes, hordes) looking for a good bargain. By the looks of it, one couldn't tell there was an economic downturn in our midst. There were so many people on that extended elevator in the convention area, I had thoughts of the elevator collapsing and falling five floors to its doom.
I got myself a Seagate Freeagent|Go, 320 gigs of Champagne Gold colour. There were other cheaper ones, but as always, style and design of the product means a lot to me. Can't compromise there. If I do, I will forever feel like the product was a substandard buy.
When I got home, I loaded some stuff in there, including 2.5 gigs of photoshop works, 8 gigs of pictures, 2 gigs of songs and 1.5gigs of The Prestige, 5cms^-1 and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Then since I had a bit more time before I needed to leave for my Meet The People's session, I decided to do some computer housekeeping. I freed up approximately 20gb, miraculously. I have no idea how. I found my 4gb .NTI GTA(SA) still in my C drive, so I removed that, I found there seriously old 2.5gb Love Hina anime that my secondary school friend passed to me, and I removed that too, and the rest was cumulative crap, like old, incomplete and substandard photoshop and flash stuff.
I dug this old picture up from when I still lived in Lagoon View, it was needed for councillor rallying the previous year. Ah... how nostalgic. Sure glad I didn't get in man... No matter how jealous that previous statement might seem, I assure you I don't want anything to do with it, now that I see how much dedication and hours has to be put in for piles upon piles of sai gang. Well, I edited the picture (since I thought it's a very rare picture of me that looks decent) and there it is. The words spell, EIGHTEEN, and the specs and tie were sketched with my tablet. Wanted to give it a... messy look.
*I just noticed the parts at the bottom look a bit like Chinese characters.
