June 2009: Part 1

01 June 2009
2:35pm... I couldn't resist taking this photo...

7:22pm... @ NTUC East Point with my sister... mom told us to buy grocery... but seemed like we got more snacks than grocery...

@ East Point's new arcade... sis was not very good with her coordinations...

9:13pm... @ Changi Hospital. Took dad for pre-op appointment for his E.C.G. and all the etc...

Also took the chance to run this Height & Weight scanner at the corner...

As of 02 June 2009, I weight 64KG and I am 1.68m tall. ^^

03 June 2009
10:46pm... @ Geylang Lorong 9... the famous Beef Hor Fun stall... standard dropped already... unfortunately~ was there to ta-bao supper for my dad~

04 June 2009
10:57am... @ Loyang Offshore area... checking out these two units of Gen Set...

11:45am... headed home to pick up mom and sis so they can go shopping @ Tampines 1.

1:18pm... @ Race Course Road... that famous handphone shop called "Narajan"...

As of 04 June 2009, a Nokia N96 is selling at S$1,206 @ Singtel Shop w/o contract. Here, you can get it at S$660 w/o contract and minus all the nasty stuff Singtel pre-porgrammed into the phone before selling it to you. These are export sets - meaning that there is no local warranty. But that doesn't mean that you cannot take it for servicing at the local Nokia Care Centre if your phone really spoils. This aside, if such export sets are so easily spoilt, negative word of mouth would have ruined that shop's business already, wouldn't they? Anyways, they update their phone prices frequently, and they pasted it outside their shop for everyone to see. Very transparent.
