Eventful....

Seems like a lot to blog about today. The first thing I woke up as usual was check on my computer. The news headline strucked me with Michael Jackson dead! I thought it was some nonsense tabloid or gossip news with that headline to attract attention but it was for real. I'm not really a fan of him but I do like his music a lot. His album was the first CD I ever owned when our house ever bought a player. Not that I am devastated about the news but I still can't believe he really died. Surreal is the word.

Will be loved and missed. The one and only King Of Pop. Rest in peace Michael~

Woke up a little late actually. As in too late to do my chores. Did nothing other than waited for the TV to be delivered. Was so worried they would come when my father is home. Lucky they were early. Now will have to wait for the Samsung people to come on Monday to mount it to the wall. Meanwhile I can start playing with it. Hehe...

The effort to go back to the shop for exchange was kind of successful. We got the friend to go with us at the very beginning. The people never reject at all. I was wondering if we first tried to go on our own, would it be the same? Didn't really get my every cent back. Maybe lost a couple tens of bucks but it's ok. Better than the initial lost of over a hundred. Damn sales guy tried to eat a few dollars more off from me I gave in to it because I don't want to waste time argueing.

He fucking claimed that I had to compensate him the GST for the exchange. WTF?! Look... I paid $200 + GST for this thing yesterday. Today I come back to ask for an exchange and I am ONLY looking at changing things worth $200. I already lost the GST!! He claimed that I can only change for things worth $200 BUT MINUS GST. Which means $200 - 7%... Because they already submitted the sales and would be charged for GST and he also gave extra discount over the total bill with the other things I bought yesterday. What kind of fucking maths is this?! The final discount was only a little bit!! I already paid for the GST and why do I have to pay again!? Don't want to argue with him over this stupid thing and just complete the exchange and get done with it. Whoever run that shop must remember that a few tens of bucks out of his coffin was contributed by me! The shop is RoyalPlus Pacific Pte Ltd at Sim Lim Square ground floor. I don't remember seeing a signboard on their shop because they are those stalls in the middle of the atrium.

Overall still glad that exchange was possible and everything is over. Something happened later which brightened up my mood a little. Went to collect the car to leave. Found two pieces of coupon on my windscreen. I parked at the roadside lots behind Sim Lim without displaying coupon. Some kind soul left his coupons for me. God bless him! =)

Before I left, of course I collected the processed films from Triple D. Virgin roll with Diana was quite crappy. Three of the shots not usable because under exposed. Hmmm how come?! It was taken on a sunny day at the deck of the ferry while on the way back from Batam. Nevertheless, here are the pictures.

Grrr!! This was taken so long ago during the first cam whore trip with Xta. We were at Bugis Junction and it was daytime. The place was bright yet the pictures came out so dark with the flash over exposed on the faces. Must learn about how to improve on this.

This picture was taken even longer ago. =X


On the way back from Batam.


Trying multiple exposure...


One Ah Pek offered to help us take a pic. Glad he took a nice one!!

All these pictures were scanned by the shop. I had not edit them but only resized to post here. The resolution was ok but the quality quite sucky. Or is it because the film itself? Will try to scan it again myself to see if it would be better. Can save the money to pay them to scan in future.

Now I have my room done to a new layout with new TV, new bed and cabinet. If you were wondering why no pictures of my room. I will post it after the TV gets mounted and when I pack my things in place. xD
