COMEX COMETS OH NETS

went to comex today in the hopes of looking (and possibly buying) a lens for my D7k. and accessories too: vertical grip, remote, a hotshoe stand for an external mic for mr chong, a new eyepiece. i saw ND filters too but i dont know if i'll ever need to use them. they were going at $100ish. sigh. its just a filter....

and heck the whole comex is so small. two halls only. last time was bigger sia...now got so many people, so packed. can stand there and dig nose also sia -.- but i spent the whole time there listening to my own music since i dont like to hear people screaming and shouting over their speakers. so noisy.

anyway. the whole place doesnt have ONE PERSON selling lowerpro bags. SO DISAPPOINTED. they have vanguard but i really dont understand vanguard's bag designs. so weird. i opened up one bag and DANG i love lowerpro so much more now. it seems like as if vanguard just makes fancy designs for aesthetics. but does it work well? heck no. if i need to take out my camera in a jiffy, i would need like a few hours to open the vanguard LOL.

and thats not just it. Nikon's booth didnt sell lenses alone. im like.....DUDE? okay what about accessories. DONT HAVE ALSO. WALAO EH /FLIP TABLE/ SIA WALAO EH they just sell kits. its so dumb!! why sell kits only? and no accessories? what are you guys thinking!! sigh.

then i scouted Asus for kor. he wanted to check price for 2 laptop models. this pretty pretty prettyyyyyyyyy salesperson came up to me and asked if i needed help aiyoh she so pretty. anyway. found out that one model is discontinued, and the other one is like 2.1k. can upgrade to have a 3D capable screen sia walao eh. but the specs are impressive really. anyway. i asked all the questions i need then talked to kor over skype through a phone call to home. basket he can get the discontinued model for 900USD sia wts i asked the salesgirl and she said probably around 1.5 ohmygosh.

yeah lorh. oh yeah went bowling in the morning with the ward EQ. i went late lol so i missed one game. they played another and i joined in for that one :P i scored like 50-something lol im the noobest there!! but i found who can play. ELDER MOORE THAT COOL DUDE. his swing is like.....VWOOSH. bro roger also super pro. paul too. elder rasmussen not bad too. arvie also!! geno too hahaha. walao what is this sia im playing with all the high flyers wth.

yeah....

oh and i got the confirmation email from pres kwan already on which watermark the stake will use for now and forever. woohoo~ but that means more work to do LOL so i'll have to just watermark the pictures...mathias' ones and mine. that bro vince...sorry ah but his pictures really suck. it feels like as if he took his pictures using a phone camera aka point and shoot. i should have seen what camera he used...his pictures are so bad that i really dont know if i wanna use ANY of them :( really sorry bro but your equipment is important too. you can have the creativity and all but if your equipment cannot help you get the pictures you want, then thats really sia suay.

sigh.
anyway. one day i heard this song randomly playing on my iTouch while on shuffle mode.

so yeah.

So two nights ago (Tuesday night) I was talking to Jaina on whatsapp after she replied to one of my tweets. Told her what happened. So she's the second one to know. Ming is the first. Ahhh a really great friend. Since I had a long and tiring day, I was tired already. Thankfully we were pretty much done talking. I tweeted her saying that she's a treasured friend but somehow twitter didn't tag her. Anyway I totally don't recall tweeting that and only found out only after I woke up. And she said "thank you" so formally idk why. But idk. Nothing wrong with that either. 

But I'm grateful for her. She offered advice and counsel, a shoulder and a listening ear. What I needed most at that time. Wednesday was the best day ever since. Went to institute right after work. Managed to make it just in time. The lesson was really good. Brother Charlie so cute and funny :) 

Went home with the woodlands ward people. Hui yi too. Arvie, ezra T, abish, hyrum, Bea, me. Which reminds me: it's a wonderful to entrust a vulnerable part of you to another person you can rely on. People who defend you, keep you safe, make you happy. 

And Thursday was good too. I somewhat took "off" from work and visited my secondary school. Too bad I was late. Coming from SP after working on a CAD drawing, most of the teachers left already, except a few who had meeting to attend. Met up first with my section at the canteen and played charades until gillian arrived. Amirah, Roi, Hui Jie, And me. Cake from the basketball team was given to me when KC Ann asked if I wanted any lol. I was like lol yeah okay lorh XD 

When gillian arrived, we met her outside school so she wouldn't need to sign in. We had lunch altogether at the shop right below Khatib mrt station. Roi didn't have money so I lent him some. We shifted a table over so that all 6 of us could sit together. Then we went back to school, took a group picture in the canteen with the biiiiiiig poster of Alison lol. My camera and the two Polaroids owned by Amirah and Gillian. Hui Jie and Putri had ACE so they left first. The rest of us headed to the staff room and summonnnnnned our teachers lol too bad only Matthews came out. We talked and then I got a picture taken with her. Glad she still remembers me (I don't think she could forget any of us sia lol we were so rebel). We laughed over old memories as if they were decades old. 

Then she has to go settle some stuff and so she went back into the staff room. The 4 of us (Amirah, Roi, Gillian and me) started talking about school, band members, exco. Things have changed so much...

Then we all left at around 4pm since gillian needed to e at somerset at 5pm. Bumped into Tiffany Halim at the train platform and so we took the train back with her. Talked about council and band lol and she was saying how awkward and weird some of her juniors are lol so funny. 

Reached home and chilled all the way. Watched 2 full episodes of Good Doctor, played TF2 for a while. My day is made. Too bad I would need to go to work the next time I wake up...

Anyway. Work has been good to me, aside from all the cuts i get on my fingers and cuticles and lower arm and all that horrible DUST. It gives me money for doing repetitive things and some time to think about things, since we don't usually talk while doing our stuff. I learned how to operate this tool. Pretty cool and simple. Too bad I don't know the name, nor did I get a picture of it. All I know is that it's the manual forklift. I asked the FT packers if I could learn the electrical forklift though. You know, the one with the driver... But I'll need to be sent by the company to the course. And since I'm a temp packing staff, it's gonna be totally unrelated to me. So, most likely I won't be learning it. Though just by watching the operators, I pretty much figured out how to work it LOL. 3 sticks: the one of the left is to control the elevation of the fork. The one in the middle controls the forward and backward tilt of the fork itself. The one on the right is to control the lateral displacement of the fork. So yeah. I don't know how to get the forklift to reverse though. I don't see them moving any other stick for that...maybe it's a pedal. But idk. There are only 2 pedals that I saw, which is probably the accelerator and the brake. Or it could be the accelerator and the reverse pedal. While deccelerating (when the accelerator is released), the reverse pedal acts as a brake. While stationary, it will be the reverse pedal. I don't know, I'm just guessing. 

But I still wanna learn it. Idk...maybe talk to one of the office staff. Although that would be super inappropriate and unreasonable... :( haiyah I talked to the full time packers that I'm working with about it...and the vibes I get from them is that they want me to stay with them since they need the extra help...sigh. 

I'm off tomorrow, just like how everyone else is. So glad that I'm finally called out for a missionary discussion with one of our investigators. It's been too long!! :( but it's the third lesson lol I have NEVER taught that lesson before. Just the first two only...hope I prepare well enough for it though!! :) 

What's there left to say?
