so suay

i had to change a new hard disk for my PC today.. so sickening.. why is that so? because i only formatted my hard disk earlier this month..

luckily, the new hard disk does not cost me a single cent as my IBM is still under warranty.. but the removal and installation of the new hard disk has to be DIY-ed.... it cost $110 per hour to get the technician to do home-visits, another option is to haul the heavy CPU to the service centre.. so i decided to DIY.

thank god that the process is relatively simple and especially so with the help of the IBM support online, where there is a short clip on the removal and installation of hard disk..

i wonder why IBM charges a fee for installation of the hard disk, where previously, when the engineer came over to change my motherboard, it didn't cost a farthing.. -__-"" what's with this weird rule?

1 funny thing that occurred was that, the rider who came to deliver the new hard disk banged his head on my padlock.. poor guy...

creative zen

more than 2 weeks ago, my beloved Samsung mp3 , exactly 1 year of age, breathed its last and was thrown into the bin. haha.. no, i am just kidding, it wasn't thrown into the bin but was sent for repair. as the mp3 was past 1 year old, it was no longer covered under the Samsung warranty, but luckily, with my foresight, i had bought another 2 more years of extended warranty from Harvery Norman (cost about $30++ i think).

to cut the long story short, i was given a option to either proceed with the repairs of my Samsung mp3 or buy a new mp3, paying only the difference. given the circumtances, i chose the option of getting a new mp3.. and guess how much i paid in total for the newest CREATIVE ZEN??? only $20~!!!

with this darling i can:

  • watch video clips
  • listen to mp3
  • listen to radio
  • see pictures
  • record lectures with the in-built microphone

ain't it something wonderful?! the original cost was $249, i only paid $20~!! quite a steal isn't it?! my only complain is that its only available in black.. -__-" unlike the Creative Zen Stone which is available in a array of colors.

this time round, i didn't get the extened warranty....

accounting for books

i just realised that over the years, i have spent a small fortune on books (ie romance novels).. i currently have about 50++ historical romance novels and contemporary romance novels and on average, each novel cost around $15+/-.

more than 1/2 of my novels are bought from 2nd hand bookshop while about 20 novels are bought first hand..

the 50++ novels i mentioned above are not inclusive of books that i have returned back to the 2nd hand bookshop and teenage love stories that i bought when i was still in secondary school. so i have roughly spent about $1000 on novels?? *gasp* i think i am going to faint...



P.S. its not that i don't want to borrow the books from the library, but Singapore National Library doesn't have the books of the authors i like.. so that doesn't leave me with much choices.. either i buy 1st hand books or 2nd hand books.. and obviously, 2nd hand books are cheaper and most importantly, if i don't like the book, i can return the book back and get back part of the money!

song by Air Supply

Air Supply - I Can Wait Forever

When you say, I miss the things you do
I just want to get back close again to you
But for now, your voice is near enough
How I miss you and I miss your love
And though, all the days that pass me by so slow
All the emptiness inside me flows
All around and there's no way out
I'm just thinking so much of you
There was never any doubt

Chorus
I can wait forever
If you say you''ll be there too
I can wait forever if you will
I know its worth it all, to spend my life alone with you

When it looked as though my life was wrong
You took my love and gave it somewhere to belong
I''ll be here, when hope is out of sight
I just wish that I were next to you tonight
And though, I''ll be reaching for you even though
You''ll be somewhere else, my love will go
Like a bird on its way back home
I could never let you go
And I just want you to know

Chorus
I can wait forever
If you say you''ll be there too
I can wait forever if you will
I know its worth it all, to spend my life alone with you
(repeat chorus 3 times)

awwww.. such meaningful lyrics.. i can imagine if a guy were to sing this to his gf/wife she girl will be soooo touched! ♥_♥

wow!

i broke my makeup ban yesterday.. when i was walking around john little in marina square i saw this brand Lord & Berry... i can't remember exactly where i seen this brand before, but i knew i saw it before somewhere! so i walked towards the display and.......... this eyeshadow palette immediately caught my eye!! i fell in love with the brown palette immediately and knew that i gotta have it!





Or... a Flirt?


Product description:
A flirtatious set of 5 eyeshadows in pink/blue or brown tones. Includes duo brush for perfect applications. Pair with Lord & Berry’s “Is This Love” lip color.

the colors are veeeeeeery preeeeeeeety!! and veeeeeeeery usable! most of all, its a super duper good deal.. originally, it cost $28.90 but due to JL's 10% + 20% discount, i only paid $20.81! ^-^ i yet to use it, planning to "open ceremony" tomorrow! *lalalalalala~~*

the pink/blue palette in comparison isn't as nice as the green one i gotten, i think my shoppers shared the same view as me as, at the shelves of JL, there was plently of the former palette but only 2 of the green left. i am so lucky~~~



i checked out their webbie, and saw this ...


New York Schedule

Product description:
Get the glamour and sizzle of New York City with these 15 eyeshadows in 5 shades: Aqua, Black, Green, Natural, Pink. Kit includes applicator brushes.

niceeee! a very good set for a makeup newbie to start of with (i think) ^-^ hope i can caught a glimpse of it soon!!

my pretty simple little red (well its some shade of red) dress froma tiny shop in far east plaza cost me $42 and the alteration is free! no pictures yet.. need to wash & iron the dress first and get my heels then will i take the pictures of them together~

anyone knows where i can get a pair of nice heels for under $20?? my budget given by my mom is only $50... spent $42, $8 left.. still have to fork out at least amother $12...

mmm.. let me think.. do i have a pair of black heels hidden somewhere in my cupboard?? i think not......
