Computer

I have a laptop.
Then I tried lugging it back and forth, and it was just too cumbersome.
So I think and I think and I think....
and I figured, I'll go and buy another laptop!

For a long time I dreamt about a MAC.
I actually went to that wheelock place, and the cheapest mac is 1688.
Upgrade RAM to 2 GB, add another 99.
So I want microsoft word to be compatible with my laptop, can?
Can, need to install it.
I have software at home.
Cannot.
Why cannot?
You have to get the one for Mac.
So add another 200 plus.
And the 2GB with DVD is 1988.
hmmmm.....
Forget it I will go and get a 1000 plus PC laptop.

So I troop over to Best.
Got myself a Fujitsu....hey MIJ!!!!
Can upgrade to 3 gb Free!
Optical mouse, Free!
Plus, $100 rebate.
So final price, $1288.

ON!!!!!

So I have S series Lifebook at SH and V series Lifebook at PE.....cool.
Looking at the starhub, M1 and singtel broadband mobile rates.
hmmmm.....
any comments and feedback?

I have this fear that hey will cut off my power because I miss the dateline for bill payment...which nearly happened the last time.
So I went to directly link it with my credit card.
Bummer....did you know stupid UOB-singtel card can only link....singtel bills and not SP?
Then Citibank gave me a much better experience:)
The customer service person gave me a card application.
Asked me to fill it up.
I said I don't have my account info.
And the banker gave me a postage paid envelope for me to send the completed application to them....free!!

Oh....I did buy something MIC yesterday.
haha....
I saw a cheap clock that showed in digital format, runs on battery, that can stand...so no need to hand on the wall.
It shows time, date, day, temperature.
And the numbers are HUGE:)
Well I saw the clock for $14 at the amk cheap shop.
But when I went back yesterday, it was out of stock. There was an ugly purple colour one going for $15.
I don't like purple.
Then there was a makeshift counter outside that was selling watches and clocks and alarm clocks.
This lady had the MIC clock too..
how much?$14....
can cheaper? can.....$13.....ON!
Then she checked.....
er...no more stock.
How about $10....I buy the display set.
$12.....3 day guarantee, any problem bring back to her shop.
ON.
So I have a MIC digital clock sitting on top of my piano now.
