I am not the only person happy with the sale, dear was very happy about it too becos that means he gets back his 17" LCD Monitor which I've been hogging all this while. And alas, dear's motherboard fried on that fateful night too...so we decided that he needs a new PC. (We were contemplating between a PC or laptop for him but due to his requirements and budget, we can only get a DIY PC for him)
So off we went to Sim Lim the next day....I was going to get a 120GB External HDD and a cool set of speakers to match my macbook at a tight budget of S$200. The balance $300 from the PC sale will go into buying of a new coffeetable for our living room. I already know which one I wanna buy! Dear will be getting his set of DIY PC.
My HDD and speakers came to about $371...exceeded my budget by $171...which dear readily agreed to sponsor. Yippeeeee! Dear got a really cool black desktop casing with some new processor and cards....can see he is really happy with his purchase too. But still in the midst of fixing it up. I am so excited abt his new PC, cos it's so much smaller compared to his old machine...and this CPU takes up much lesser space which means I can shift my printer to the shelf below and the tabletop will look less cluttered.
A small incident happened yesterday too...as I arrived in Sim Lim pretty late, around 7pm, we need to rush to find our stuff as shops in Sim Lim close around 8pm. Therefore, dear and me agree to split up to buy our own stuff. I was at this shop asking for pricing for my HDD, when I walk out, this guy followed me ...then he started to chat wif me..asking if i am also looking for HDD. Thinking that he might just want to get more information on HDD, I shared with him the prices I've found so far....he followed me around a few other shops....then he surprised me by asking for my number, said he jus wanna b friends. I made an excuse to leave cos the shops are closing and I haven't found my stuff.
I was in this shop buying my HDD (cos its the cheapest I can find) and there he is again, but dear was with me this time. I guess dear sense something was wrong and shouted loudly, "Lao Po" when he was calling me. Hehe...well, after we left Sim Lim square, dear ask me whether this guy is trying to know me...hahaha....i told him maybe yes...but after hearing you call me lao po, he probably drop that intention. Funny thing was, I had my wedding ring on yest and another ring on my engagement finger...but that did not stop him from approaching me too. Hehe...on a bright note, it means that I still have some charm in me huh. Haha...bhb. Shall update with more pics of my cool speakers and dear's PC soon.
