WiFi day!

Finally it's here! After months and months of longing and forlorn wishes, I finally got the house wirelessly onto the World Wide Web. Some help received, of course.

To go back to the harrowing experience of getting that. My sis, her bf and I decided to go bargain hunting at the Country's largest computer fair. Our hopes were high, knowing what we need, how much we're gonna spend.

First surprise comes from the "Full" signage at the KLCC basement carpark. Boy, people everywhere must be earning well, despite the so-called economic slowdown. The rates alone would have been equivalent to a 5* Hotel.

Second shocker, the whole shopping arcade felt as if the air-conditioning had been turn ed up high. Waaaay up high!

Thirdly, I believe all the IT-literate citizens and denizens of this Country had decided to turn up for the fair today. From the point of entry, we were shoulder to shoulder, riding with the tide. And I meant riding with the tide. We didn't get to decide where we wanted to go. Neither did the crowd. Basically everyone were being pushed and jostled along, bypassing interesting and loud booths without a chance of a glance.

In the end, we did get what we came for. That's after a couple of gallons of lost sweat and swollen toes. Next big thing that comes along, I'm gonna plonk in a little extra and buy it off the shelf. Sheesh!
