This is a very rare occasion that I did not go for a PC Show at the opening hours but instead went there at 7pm due to work. As compared to IT Show 2009, I do not really like the PC Show 2009. It seems that the walk space between booth is much narrower and Sony/Microsoft normally have a booth at level 3 so that the crowded will be spread out evenly. But for PC Show 2009, their booth are in level 4 or 6 and hence level 4 and 6 is extremely crowded.

The prices as compared to IT Show 2009 (3 months ago) are almost the same if not the same. Thumbdrive and memory cards are the same if not cheaper in Sim Lim Square anytime.


All The Things I Bought


2 Things Are Mine Only!

Damage

  • Western Digital Passport Essential 320GB: SGD$105.00 (for my uncle)
  • Canon Ink Combo C: SGD$53.00 (for my mom)
  • Canon Ink Combo D: SGD$56.00 (for Li Xiang)
  • SanDisk 8GB SDHC Memory Card: SGD$30.50 (for my boss)
  • SanDisk 8GB Cruzer Titanium USB Drive: SGD$39.50
  • Asus 1000HE (Black): SGD$698.00
  • Asus 1000HE 2GB Ram Upgrade: SGD$39.00
  • Total: SGD$1021
  • Mine: SGD$776.50

PC Show 2010 will be happening on 10th June 2010 to 13th June 2010. But for now, lets focus on Comex 2009 which will happen on the 10th September 2009 to 13th September 2009 at Suntec Convention Center.

Started my internship with Sedgwick Richardson (Singapore) which deals with branding and design on Tuesday, 12th May 2009. My job is pretty straightforward but not an easy task. I covert AI/PSD files to HTML and followed by converting them into WordPress templates and of course the website will be powered by WordPress. Time seems to pass very fast there, perhaps I am busy for the whole day as there are many projects to rush. I love the flexibly here in terms of dress code as well as working hours. All they ask for, is for you to get the deliverable required by the project manager before the deadline.

Working life seems to be the total exact opposite of studying life, it seems that studying is so much more carefree than exams. Exams only happen once every 3 months and project deadline is probably twice every 3 months but when working there are like a few deadlines within the same week!

Sometimes (or rather that is the case), what you study is not really applicable to the working world. To me, it seems that working world requires you to have the skills needed to complete the job given to you and at most you have less than 1 week to pick up that skill.

Also, having facing the computer for more than 12 hours during work, the moment you step home, you will be totally shag and do not feel like switching on the computer and you would rather switch on the TV and let it entertain you instead.

Sleeping before 1am and waking up at 8am becomes the norm, which is good as it is a healthy lifestyle!

Even though working life is tough, but of course you will get paid and with money comes spending power.

My cousin and auntie just came back from Japan and brought back lots of Head Porter stuff that my brother requested them to buy. Got myself a Black Beauty Monogram Pouch.


Black Beauty Monogram Pouch

My brother has set up headporter.sg which he will use it to sell Head Porter stuff online. All the items sold there are guaranteed to be authentic and brand new. All the items will come with a Head Porter paper bag or Head Porter envelope depending on the size of the item that you buy.
