My Lovely Laptop..

Its really nice, i really love the design, not to mention the screen size (16"), backlit keyboard, slim and light charger, and most important of all, the specs.

What i hate about it is that the keyboard looks disproportionate and the weight of this thing. A whooping 3.1kg.

That means, eveytime i go to school, i would be carring about 5kg worth of stuff in my bag, with me bringing my laptop and camera on all days, and also, notes and books for school. I need a locker.

Was actually quite tempted to go with a smaller, lighter version of my current laptop - the dell xps 13. 13.5" screen, 2.7kg, and a much nicer keyboard. In my mind, a much better looker than the one i have now.

Unfortunately, it costs the same price as my one, And its specs are actually lower!

So, got the XPS 16 as its more worth it than the XPS 13...

More photos of this...

It came in a big black box, and it came inside this velvet cloth case, which is really nice. The flat charger that im really happy with, and my bicycle pump..

20090313_5352
i love how its really shiny..

20090313_5354
I tried a different background for this shot, this time in the front room. where all the junk is stored there. (chose this because of the black cupboard and the black and white drums, they go well with the laptop in a black and white theme..)

20090313_5360
Cool lights at both sides of the lappie.. the blue light coming from the charger plug..

Cant wait to try it out with games! too bad it needs to charge 8hrs...

Oh yeah, also went to Home-Fix to get a proper bicycle pump. Got it at $8 dollars! Compared to the one i saw at carefour (dunno how its spelled), which was a friggin $25 dollars for a flimsy plastic tall hand pump type...

Did not update on the previous day, as i was too busy comparing the various deals and laptops. Finally decided to go for the high end one.

Anyway, so enough of the heidi heidi, down to yesterdays events..

Thursday was a free day, so some people decided to go to the IT show at Suntec. Thrusday was the first day it opened to the public, so we were expecting to avoid the crowd by going after lunch. Turns out it was also really crowded. Recession my ass.

Met Graeme and Jia Qing at City Hall mrt first, then we walked thru city link to Suntec. Realised that all the SBS transit mrt stations all have a perticular smell that is different, as near the end of CityLink, there was this part where it was going to be the new Circle line mrt station, it totally smelled like the rest of the SBS Transit station..hmmm..

Walked around Suntec looking for a place for lunch, finally settled on Fish & co. as we thought that pepper lunch and kenny rogers were more expensive, (and the fact the JQ only brought $5). Stupid, i later found out that kenny rogers set was $1 cheaper than what we bought at Fish & Co... not to mention, a 100 times nicer. Stupid Graeme dint convince us to go to kennys..

20090312_5130
JQ loves big plates of food..

20090312_5134
Nice shot by Gabriel..

20090312_5140
He does his usual weird stuff.. like totally go ape for no reason..

20090312_5147
Graeme salutes some random dude across the room..

20090312_5154
While i talk to stupid billy...

20090312_5155
Gabriel stole my drink.

20090312_5158
Met Jia Hao there too..

Burned through our money, and waited for Gabriel, then as we were leaving, met Jia Hao, which was here to buy the xbox 360 (finally), just because there is street fighter 4 in it.. lame. (or more likely, because i dont dig that game)

Met Billy at the top floor of the IT show, before venturing into the mess of people.

20090312_5173
gay lah.

20090312_5174
JQ has been constantly trying to camwhore everytime we go out.. its just that i cant come up with an interesting quirk for him...yet. thus, he has less pics than others..

20090312_5177
We met Keith (or rat), down here checking out some random dude, totally breathing down his neck..

20090312_5178
totally jerks his hand when he realises hes caught..

20090312_5180
The IT show was really crowded, even on a friggin thursday afternoon, after lunch time..

20090312_5184

20090312_5191
The Prices there...

20090312_5193

20090312_5208

20090312_5209
Graeme's like "that dude is so hawt!"

20090312_5221

20090312_5222
Graeme's like "that dude there looks so like me!" (and it really does look like graeme..imo)

20090312_5224
We finally meet up with Joseph..

20090312_5225
Which immediately procedes to untie my bermudas...

20090312_5229
Failing that, he goes out to the mens toilet to fantasize..

20090312_5232
Graeme's try at photography, and the first shot of the day? men.

20090312_5236
Hes like "shit they're all so hawt"

20090312_5237
Thats because were were like at the body shop...

20090312_5239
Since untying my bermudas, Joseph has always been in his own world.. singing, spinning, doing heel claps while dancing.. this, i assume, he was blowing his "fairy dust" around...

20090312_5240
Then he goes on to check out chio bu s. ...

20090312_5241
Does a spin and heel clap and lands gracefully in some weird position...

20090312_5247
Billy is not impressed.. he brags that he has done better... in the world of matrix of couse..

Walked around, collected as many brochures as i could while we checked out random stuff. Joseph arrived (after taking so long to find us, even with really clear instructions...) and finished the 4th floor before people started getting hungry, so we walked over to Marina Square's Carls Jr. Met Josephs friend on the way.. dint get his name..

20090312_5248
Joes friend.. (hes walked to the group, and i suddenly turned my camera and took a picture..then hes like wth)

20090312_5253
They pull Josephs clothes to reveal that hes really really fat.

20090312_5255
Graeme reflects upon the inner workings of his brain..

20090312_5257
....

20090312_5258
Billy doing some weird thing with the straw's cover...

20090312_5260
And drips some Grapes onto it for some expanding fun.

20090312_5267
Hint hint..

20090312_5269 alt="20090312_5269" />
JQ's suggestion slip.

20090312_5280
Joseph, in his weird state.. draws some stuff not suitable for children..

20090312_5284
Some weird looking Dinosaur with a really suggestive tail..hmmm..

20090312_5287
Yeah.... spot the happy dink.

20090312_5288
hes really... in some other state..

20090312_5275
and doing some weird stuff.. (i wanted to do a flash picture with this two pictures, but cant find a good free easy to use one..so screw it.)
20090312_5277



20090312_5289
Billy then goes on to make his usual weird sauce, consisting of ice, lots of salt, pepper and grape juice..

20090312_5291
And cheese..

20090312_5296
We do some weird stuff to Billys drink, where some stupid guy went to put pepper in it and gave it away...

20090312_5297
Then billy adds more stuff to his own drink...

20090312_5299
Which changes its colour a bit..

20090312_5300
and more salt..

20090312_5305
And its quality tested by Joseph again...

20090312_5301
Which turned it into some really weird colour..

20090312_5303
Not to mention, more ketchup.

20090312_5293
Then Joseph tries it out again..

20090312_5307
Not to mention, loads of pepper..

20090312_5308
Totally, loads of pepper..

JQ got really Emo then, cuz he realised he lost 8 bucks for nothing. Joseph was like doodling weird things on cups and paper napkins. (oh im too lazy to put this line back on top..so yeah..)

We then left quickly after doing the pepper thing, walked to Kotaku or something like that as JQ wanted to look for some cosplaying stuff, then went back to suntec again to finish the final level, before we walked back to the mrt to go home..

20090312_5310
Jerk Thai... i keep thinking its jerk thai..

20090312_5312
Josephs friend totally goes into the female toilet..

20090312_5313
This is called real cam whoring..

20090312_5316
Joseph sneaks up to JQ..

20090312_5317
and tries to pull down his pants..

20090312_5320
of course, gets what he deserve..

20090312_5323
A cosplayer. (at the singtel booth..)
20090312_5324

20090312_5328
Which makes Joseph and billy to rush for hot coffee (GTA references.. )
20090312_5327

20090312_5330

20090312_5333

20090312_5334
While joseph..

20090312_5336
totally gets a cheap thrill..

20090312_5337

20090312_5339
Joseph the pimp...

20090312_5340
Graeme learns his lessons about using the urinal with Gabriel and me around.. and uses the stalls instead... lol, no use!

20090312_5344
Check out this picture lah.. no wonder Gabriel and Joseph gets so intimate with this guy..
