My Weekend

Saturday

Can't stand my room which is soooo messy with books and clothes hanging everywhere. It furthur adds to the untidiness if the room is crowded with too much furniture. Sweep and mop the floor. In the afternoon, went to City Hall to submit a drawing for the competition organised by the NUS Anime Club. The venue to submit the drawing was at Raffles City Starbucks Cafe and when I reached there. I didn't see any booth or any sign of people submitting their works. I was like, did I go to the wrong place? But after peeking around I finally saw a group of people dressed in what supposed to be 'NUS Anime Club' wordings on their back of their t-shirt(Because me and my sister were contemplating to each other whether is that group of people). They don't seem to be there waiting for people to submit their drawings, more like they were enjoying their coffee! No choice, in the end we approched them to give them my drawing.

After that, went to Marina Square Foodcourt for lunch. Later we took a shuttle bus to Liang Court to visit 'Meidi-Ya' - Japanese Supermarket to look at the Unagi(eel) to make sushi. The unagi was exorbitant and in the end didn't purchase it. Quite a wasted trip because didn't really buy anything because everything is $2 more expensive than our supermarket! In fact, Liang Court was the hang-out place for local Japanese. Another hangout place is Ginza Plaza at West Coast (A place I frequent too!lol) because the Japanese schools are located near there. You can see some cute Japanese guys and also cute Japanes girls with mini skirts and knee socks. lol.


Sunday

Clean my room again but this time is to arrange my stuff and wiping all the accumulated dust on my shelves. In the afternoon, went to Jurong Point Harvey Norman with my parents to look at the Mini Ipod that I've longed wanted for it and since I've got my pay, I can buy it! hehe. I asked the salesperson the show me the Ipod but she said there isn't a sample for us to see so she showed me the box. lol. I read the wordings on the box and realise that Ipod doesn't support WMA format. So I asked the salesperson. Immediately, she told me all the cons of Ipod. She listed the following bad points:

-New version of Ipod does not have an adapter to charge your Ipod. Need to connect through PC before you can re-charge.

-Ipod doesn't support WMA and you need to use 'iTunes' to convert the songs before you can put it in.

My rating for Ipod drastically dropped. This wasn't what I expected! After that, the salesperson introduced me another Mp3 player from Samsung. She listed all the pros on Samsung mp3 player:

- can store pictures and mp3.
- supports WMA format without having to convert.
- 50 mb of free hard disk space to store data.
- and it's 5GB, 1GB more than IPOD.

It's definitely alot more better than Ipod considering the features but it's also $100 more expensive that the 4GB Mini Ipod. In the end, I bought a pink mini Ipod simply for these following reasons:

- The design of Mini Ipod definitely stands out among other mp3 players, not just samsung.
- I have no need for a mp3 palyer to store pictures.
- I don't really trust samsung since their handphones won't last more than 2 years.
- Last but not least, samsung mp3 player pricing was over my budget.

Anyway, I'm happy that I've bought a Mini Ipod regardless of what people said how bad Ipod is. Hehe.
