PC Fair

I can say that this is the first PC Fair that I went to where I'm using my own hard earn money to buy things ^_^ I think I sound crazy on this ^_^

Anyway, I went to the PC Fair on Friday after work with Shirley. She was waiting for me in KLCC where we would head to the convention center together. The crowd at KLCC LRT was crazy as it was so pack with people that it was hard to move around there. So instead of walking through Aquaria, we walk outside the garden. I thought can get some cold fresh air but it was warm air -_-"

In the convention center, there was not that many people as when we went in, it was close to 9pm. Time for closing! So we rush through and see what they have as I plan to go again on a Sunday ^_^ The first booth that caught my attention was Sandisk. I went there and bought my M2 card for my phone. I got the 4GB one. I feel so happy as I paid with my own money ^_^

Then we rush off to the other halls. There are a lot of things and I went and browse the Logitech products there also while looking for other things. It was cool looking around and keep myself updated. At least I can plan what I need to buy and head back on Sunday and buy ^_^ Hopefully I can get some nice things on Sunday when the stalls are not all close like now.

P.S. Sorry no picture as the card is already in my phone which acts as my camera also ^_^

Dinner At A Closed Shop

Today, as usual I would wait for Shirley before I head home. Since her brother, William is working in one of the booth in PC Fair, I assume I can take my time in the office before I head to meet Shirley. I was halfway playing Condition Zero 1.6 with my colleagues when Shirley called to say she is done -_-"

For once she finished early when I was playing -_-" I then pack and went to meet Shirley in KLCC. It was very pack in KLCC and the queue to buy ticket was crazy. After meeting Shirley, we head off to PC fair to look at things and wait for William. When he was done, it was bout 10pm. We then rush off to the LRT to take the LRT home. When we reach Kelana Jaya, it was 11pm already. We then went back to hunt to food before we sleep since we haven't have our dinner yet.

We went to Kwai Sun for dinner. I know dinner at 11pm is crazy but that's how it was that time. We then ordered out drinks and foods. We were served fast. When I was drinking my soya milk, the shop started to close. I was amaze they close and leave 3 cups outside -_-" After that, the shop where we ordered out food also close. In the end, we were left there at the shop when all the workers have gone home. We were the only one there at the shop and we look as those workers head home -_-"

I'm shocked they left the cups and plates there over-night. Haih...I think the cats and dogs are going to have a feast at the place where me, Shirley and William sat. Lucky we are not the first customer of the day to see those ^_^

Unfortunate Encounter With Cars

Three weeks back I had a bad experience with my car. I remember I woke up late on a Saturday morning and I had to rush to work. The day before I had a bad day and didn't sleep well. In the morning, I didn't check my tyre to make sure there is air in them. Little did I know that there was a small nail which poke into my back right tyre. The tyre was losing air slowly.

I didn't know nor did I realize there was something wrong as I drove to work. I was also speeding as I was racing against time. Suddenly, I felt a bump and it was like I was driving on 3 wheels and not 4 wheels suddenly. I panicked. I was driving on the rim on the flat tyre. I slowed down and drove to the side of the road to change tyre. I didn't know what I am to do that time when 2 guys came and help me in changing the tyre. 

I was lucky that I got help. It was an unforgetable time for me and it is haunting me still when I drive. I'm so scare the samething would happen again -_-"

On the other hand, last night, 31 July, Daniel called me about 9.30pm. I was thinking he wanted to ask me out for yam cha. But what came out of his mouth was, "My car battery ran flat. I need help!" -_-" He left his car lights on and it drain off the battery. I then went out to see what I can do to help him. I took him round to look for a battery shop when my car didn't manage to jump start his car. 

We went round but didn't manage to find a new dry-cell battery. Daniel was left with no choice bu to call his mum till he got her. He finally got her and his mum send their family foreman to come help him. When the foreman arrived, he just charge the batt but there was something wrong so he went and check and tighten the connector as it was lose. Now I realize it was the connector which was lose that I failed in jump starting the car.

It seems that Daniel tried pushing his car and start but was a failure. He push his car from Darul Salam to the main road near Starbucks. I salute him for that. After the foreman tighten the connector, the car can charge back and it was solved. His foreman then told him not to ask others to jump start for him as it can kill both the car batteries. It seems Daniel using a very high quality battery which recharge itself if such incident happen. Besides that, the circuit board for his car battery and mine is totally different. Haih...

The main concern is for Daniel to get home safely and it did happen. His car is in good shape once the foreman came and help him solve his problem ^_^
