The Lion City is abuzz with IT Show 2008 exhibition which started yesterday (6th March 2008) and will end this Sunday (9th March 2008). It claims to be the largest IT/electronics exhibition of it’s kind in Singapore. And did I mention that admission is free? It’s no wonder that the IT-savvy and gadget-loving folks flood the exhibition halls in search of good bargains on computers, laptops, digital cameras, MP3 players, game consoles, printers, flash drives, etc. Being the semi-geek that I am, I make it a point to go to the IT Show on a yearly basis. Hence, I made an appointment with the bf and the both of us took the afternoon off from work to avoid the evening crowd.

Before heading to the exhibition hall, we had steamboat at the Chong Qing Hotpot restaurant in the basement of the Suntec City, where the exhibition is held. It was cold since it had been raining for days. The best time to have some steaming hot spicy soup. Yummy!

After the extremely satisfying lunch, we made a beeline for the IT Show. It was packed! Luckily, the booth I was looking for (Creative Technologies) happened to be located near the doorway. I found what I wanted. The Creative ZEN Stone Plus with built-in speakers. They were selling at S$99 for the player (2GB) alone, and S$109 for the player + power adapter bundle. And since I normally left my player to charge on my laptop while mom’s watching DVDs on it at night, I didn’t really need/want to pay the extra S$10 for the adapter. I took a while to consider if I really wanted to buy it. The bf generously offered to subsidize S$40, so I only had to pay S$59 to take this little beauty home. Now I can finally replace the old and broken Creative Muvo N200 that my mom’s using now. Hurray!

Ok, gotta get back to work again. I probably won’t be posting for a while since I got 2 degree assignments on hand, one of which is due on tax day (15th April). Lots of reports to complete and programs to develop again. Until next time, take care and God bless!
