This was one of the most fruitful comex ever....
This year's comex started on the 28th August, a Thursday. I didnt spare any chance to lose any good deals, so i went down on a friday noon during my SPLIT SHIFT break to check things out with dearie. Our aim was to get a good bargain for an LCD TV.
I kept going down every day all the way until 810pm, sunday, when the deal was finally sealed.
I kept the bargaining and thought process out in this blog entry. I will let you see if this is a good deal:
1. SAMSUNG LCD!!!!
2. BUNDLES include a free home theatre system, 300 buck robinson voucher
3. 0% interest instalment plan, for 24mths, FIRST MONTH instalment WAIVED using DBS credit card
4. 5 year extended warranty
5. 40" HD.
We got the poison at 1999bucks.

A good outing on a WORKING day
Not so convenient to say why we were all out on a friday. I mean, we were supposed to be working....
A testament of our good times. Chit chatting over a cuppa and makaning some burnt bread
This is his reason. To justify the absence of a captain.
The parade commander lost count of how much money he has so far. By the way, we were talking about buying car and all the nitty gritty stuff on housing and marriage preparations.
This guy is a very important character in my life so far. He was telling us what to look out for when buying cars. OK lah basically this man is my financial planner. The best in the world( He didn't force me to say this btw ).
Meet ups with friends have been quite challenging, especially when i'm now in the midst of getting good deals on mattresses, coffee tables, tv console, dining table, washing machine bla bla bla bla bla.. hahaha. That's why i can spend time posting entries of such on my blog. No friends, no life. Simple as that.
My photos from the photoshoot aint ready yet. Projected to selected them maybe by first week of september. Just last week,i finally finished all the paper work for my new flat. Probably going to collect the keys earliest Mid september. By the time i complete the house with the necessary paint work and basic furniture, i shall LIST DOWN MY WISH LIST on this blog ...so that you folks who are reading this will KNOW WHAT TO DO...HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH....
These few days have been real unfit, especially when all the time i have during my OFF days goes to tuition and furniture hunting. I ran 10k Bay run with the parade commander just last sunday, and went straight to do shift work in the radar centre. Ended up exhausted and tired, couldnt really concentrate on my taskings. Not a good idea to run before work. Dear asked if i wanna go New Balance Real Run with her on the 19th October( its a sunday ). And damn, it has to fall on the first day of my shift cycle!!!!

A worked up Friday
One session with a particular instructor was all that's needed to make me feel down. Well, my job doesnt actually allow ANY kind of mistake, minor or catastrophic....
There is this particular instructor whom i think doesnt think highly of my controlling skills. To be frank, i dun actually feel comfortable when i'm with him in particular.
Of late,i think i am performing better and better, to the point that i felt ready for solo work, until what happened this afternoon, when i made a very silly and ku ku mistake, and it has to be spotted by him!!!! wth!!!! I kept telling myself that i wanna prove to this bugger that i am worthy of doing what's required of my job.
I need to keep my mind strong and stay focused. The coming few months will demand alot out of me.
Thank goodness, i wore my skates after work to vent my frustrations... in fact, today i finally managed to do a controlled heel wheeling... WHEE!!!! For a lowly ambitioned yet easily satisfied man, its more than enough to perk me up for the rest of the evening. I'm now stretched , feeling sore YET ALIVE cos i really sweat out my thigh and calf muscles to achieve the feat on one heel wheel. HOSEI AH!!!!

My first Encounter with DSLR
To be exact, my very first view of the world via my DSLR lens was in St Mary Of the Angels. Its this church i go once( sun ) every month ( because of timing issues with my shift system ). What can i say about taking pictures with it... there's this 'trigger happy' sensation the moment the shutter goes SNAP!!!!
Dearie got the camera for 1.5k from the previous comex in suntec city. She had been wanting a DSLR since her first US trip in may 2006.
ok...almost forgot abt the first encounter...
This is brenda. She just got married in May this year. I was there to help out with her church wedding. She is one of the very kind hearted lady who attends mass with the Hearing Impaired( H.Is ).. needless to say, her signing power is 8/10.
This is June. She is even more formidable than Brenda. Let's just say that i cant remember anything that she CANT SIGN. But then again, sign language is sometimes a very subjective thing. Sometimes you can take short cuts and still get the meaning through, so long as the concept is there.
Short cuts help especially for conversational signing with the local H.Is. I've learnt that from all my mass sessions since late 2006. I was real intrigued by sign language and how it made communication so different for me after i attended Camp Outreach 2006 ( COR 2006 - a camp organised for the local H.Is by NTU WSC ).... I started enrolling into basic religious sign language this year. Every time after work i will rush down to the church and take lessons.
This indian boy...ERM... i dunno his name. Just accidentally snapped his annoyed look after brenda brushed against his backside...
Indian boy: Dont think you know how to sign means you can touch my backside!
Ok, i know this indian man... He is Kenny, one of the more 'vocal' H.Is who could sign and mouth out quite accurately his intentions... He wasnt born with impairment, so he could still attempt to 'say'( but in actual fact i dun think he can even hear anything now ) as he signs... very helpful when he signs to a person like me who has limited signing volcabulary!
A few days later, i brought along my (feels like mine when its actually felicia's) DSLR to NTU to check out the freshmen of foot 05....
Here's a typical scene of a bunch of nuts in self entertain mode. I was like that once with my 9th Comm NTU odac peeps...
Kuah and Monkey Tong, grown up from their 9th Comm days... sworn to make their mark by the age of 28.
Monkey: @$%$^%%^$@#%!#@ how izit ever possible to be as rich as that foreign banker by the age of 28??????
Ah ben and yingli
And so, this post marks the beginning of a journey of a world viewed through my DSLR.
