Comex 2008

Woot! Bought a laser printer and an exteral harddisk at Comex today. =)

Bought a Samsung colour laser printer for $268 cos my current Brother printer really high maintenence. Super ex to print. Wanted to get a 4-in-1 colour laser printer but it costs a min of $899. So guess I'll use my Brother printer for scanning and photocopying and this one to print documents. =)

Also bought a 320GB Western Digital portable harddisk at $149.90. Love it's sleek design! No choice as my own laptop is desperately crying out for space. Been having warnings that the com is functioning on low memory and it'll even hang sometimes.

And they gave me a free pouch!

Yay!

Board Games Galore

Yay! My board games finally arrived on Monday. After a 6-month hiatus from Settlers, Kh and I were so bored with our current collection that we purchased $600 worth of board games online. It is for this purpose that I held a board games spree, which to my surprise, attracted rather good response.

The goods arrived in 2 large boxes!



The games we bought... We're huge fans of Rio Grande games. =)



Jack and Julie kept saying that we are the new Settlers. Funny 'cos a new Settlers outlet just opened at SMU and I'm working there. Yups it's the biggest and nicest outlet of all, and it offers a lot more than just board gaming. I shall take this time to help CY advertise: http://sg.settlerscafe.com/200808/OpeningSMU.jpg

KL Trip 2008

Went to KL for a short holiday with Kh, and another 9 of my family members on 9 August, National Day. GC was like,"You don't love Singapore!" Hey I don't need to be in Singapore to love Singapore okay. Try telling that to thousands and thousands of Singaporeans who contributed to the jam at the 2 causeways at 5am in the morning. We thought we were early. Apparently not.

The queue was so bad that a third line was formed--- the queue of queue-cutters. 1 guy even bumped into another guy's car after trying to cut in front of another car. The guy whose car got bumped was so mad he got up and kicked the queue-cutter's car. And then there was some argument, and more jam. Thankfully, we were already in front of them when that happened.

38 more kilometres to go!

My lovely cousins...

Drove in in 2 MPVs. 6th uncle's Toyota Picnic looks small next to 姑姑's 2500cc Nissan Prestage.
Not to mention the malaysian car in the middle.

Booked a 3BR2BA suite at Berjaya KL Plaza Suites Hotel in the city central. Wanted to book the 3-bedroom suites at Zon All Suites Hotel and PNB Darby Park which are just opposite the Petronas, but they were all fully booked. In the end, I found this website which can offer me a suite for only 500RM (U.P 650RM) for 1 night. Upon check-in, we were blessed with a free upgrade to the VIP suite, and an additional 50RM discount. Requested for high floor and was given 16 out of 20. Supposed to check in at 3pm but we were there early, so they let us check in at 11am. So to sum it up, I paid a total of 455RM for a 3BR2BA VIP suite which costs 800RM originally and enjoyed a whole lot of privileges. Woah. Is this a bargain or what?

Coveniently located in the City Central and within walking distance to the Petronas.




Went to this super rundown hawker center nearby and tried their zi cha there, as recommended by a local. It was one of the best zi cha I've ever eaten in my life. Super strong wok taste. And the food is always steaming hot! See below! Anyone knows how fast Banana Leaf's service is? Well, this is the zi cha version of Banana Leaf. You get your food almost immediately after you order. How can food be cooked THAT quick?

Lol... I didn't know KL tower was in my viewing frame until I took this pic.

Shopping at Sungei Wang/BB Plaza.

Berjaya Times Square

Cosmo Theme Park on the 5th floor. Strangely, Cousin Dennis had to buy an adult ticket for his height. He's only 10 and not tall for his age at all. I think they just wanna cheat my uncle's money!

Supper at JB before heading back home. There was so much food!
