hi guys, hav not been blogging for quite some time le. nth much to blog abt oso. haha. every one is so busy with his/her life, hardly can find someone to come out, hav a chat or catch a movie. those who went to jc r busy studying n adapting to their new lives, and those whom r going to poly r busy with enrolment and stuff like that. here's to the lpsians, can we hav a gathering before sch starts? i guess everyone will be quite busy once sch starts so yea, i wld really appreciate it if there is a gathering. as for study grp, we shall wait till our respective timetables r out first bah.
and well, now shall talk abt IT show 2008. as usual, crowed like mad. great offers almost everywhere. this yr's IT show's emphasis is on ultra protable lappy n cameras i guess. the offers r quite gd i wld say. well, nikon didn't disappoint their fans with the launch of the D60 definitely, but Canon really disappointed its fans when the EOS 450D failed to launch at the IT show. as for the other brands, i dunno much abt them. as for the laptops this time round, very gd deals almost everywhere, from sony to panasonic to fujitsu and even nec. cheap launch prices, useful freebies, massive discounts. simply wonderful. the only thing which is not that wonderful is that i have got no $$$ to buy them. if i hav the $$$, i guess i might have gotten myself at least three laptops. lol. i noe it sounds super unrealistic or even stupid, but they r really very "chio" machines to lug around everywhere. they r the panasonic CF-Y7, sony TZ37, fujitsu P8010 n prehaps the asus Ee PC, although a very powerless ultra portable, but definitely possess the 'cool' factor. but, well, u muz be thinking wat fun is there if u dun make any purchases at IT show, esp when there r like such great discounts right, ok, i did brought some stuff, n they r the essentials, not splurging ok! it is the gd old ink cartridges. lol. very gd discounts too. epson 20% off with no freebies, canon ard 10% off the retail price, but hav freebies in the form of ntuc vouchers. so overall, the effective discount which canon hav was like a whopping 30%. and i spend a few hundred dollars on them. lol. of course, with discounts like this, there will always be something which i dun really noe singaporeans hate or love, that's the queue! long long queue, can compare to the queue at suntec taxi stand. but luckily got some ex colleague to help help abit, so was off with my purchase in like 5mins? btw way, talking abt taxi stands, i wonder if singaporeans use their brains at all. suntec taxi stand queue so long n they still obediently wait for a cab there? when there is like another taxi stand at marina sq jus across the rd, less then 100m away, with no ppl in the queue at all n a ever ready supply of cabs waiting for them to board? well, sad to see this situation happening here, but it benifits me in a way. lol.
anyway moral of the story is that money is very important, n i guess i hav to agree with certain ppl that retail therapy does works. jus that we buy diff things thats all. but the feeling of spending is gd. it definitely brings much joy to me! lol! omg sound so much like a spendthrif now! i wonder what will happen if i hav a credit card mext time... so, i guess i only hav two solutions, one is to crub my spending, the other is to earn as much as possible to finance my spending. lol. i guess the second is easier...
ok, i really hav to dedicate this section to SONY Singapore Pte Ltd man! they rock! they rocked totally at IT SHOW 2008! of all the big names there, they marketed their products really well! booked the whole of level2 and showcased all their range of products there! from the Vaios to the Bravias to the HandyCams, Walkmans, Cybershots,MicroVaults,Blurays,PSPs,Playstations, they really done their marketing very well. and fully utilised the 2nd level. i can confidently say that they hav stolen the limelight of the whole show no matter wat kind of discounts the other industry players r giving inside the main halls. and for product showcase, they showcased their products in the most graceful n elegant manner ever within the whole show by doing a mini catwalk with featuring the products alongside a gd DJ n models. other industry players whom r big on budget too r panasonic n Canon. panasonic hav a roadshow at the entrance from citylink mall, but doesn't fully capture the full attention of everyone, esp those driving to suntec. they r sure gonna miss it. as for Canon, impressive to book the whole level one follyer, but stupid to make it as a redemption counter. they shld hav made full use of it n turn it into their main exhibition area, to showcase all their products, esp the new products! i was actually looking forward to the items put up by Canon when the whole level one advertising space was like conquerd by them, but what i can say is, they did not fully utilise the space which they leased and they still hav loads to learn from the folks at SONY.
