i went to the IT fair at suntec this afternoon. really incongruous of me actually, being a tech idiot and all. cant tell my ram from my rom. but it was some army cohesion thing so absence was out of the question. definitely not how i would normally spend my thursday afternoons though. everything advertised to me was double dutch. all i could do was just nod my head while slowly moving away and disappearing once again into the ridiculous crowd. (have i mentioned how much i hate crowds and the whole cbd?)

but i really need to tech-up a bit dont i? some bits of information on technology would probably help me out once i get to university. and when i finally get down to teaching, a whole lot more of IT would probably find its way into the classroom, whether i like it or not. horrible.

ended up at the world bookfair (surprise surprise) which was happening concurrently with the IT fair a couple of floors below. i was expecting trolleys and stacks and shelves of books and magazines and all that kinda stuff for me to dive right into but nope. instead there were a whole lot of educational cds, computer-learning stuff, programmes for kids, a puzzle-iq booth, mandarin stuff and only a smatter of booths that actually gave meaning to the term bookfair. it was like another IT fair with books strategically placed to pass it off as a bookfair. see what i mean when i said that i need to tech-up a bit? everything's going techy.

but i did manage to ferret out two gentlemen of verona with a two page introduction at the bookfair. it was going for only a dollar. what could i do but walk to the cash register?

after that, i attempted to do some shopping with who i find to be the best person to shop with other than dear ol' sis: moi.

saw t-shirts that i liked, shoes that were interesting and more shirts that caught my eye. but the only thing i spent money on was food.

so with stomach full and hands bag-free, my objective was basically met.
now that's what i call shopping.
