PSP

on some sort of sustained impulse since friday, i bought a PSP today.

Photobucket
this is exactly what it looks like. stylish black. =) i bought the airfoam case too. (it's says air-foRm but airform doesnt make any sense, airfoam makes more sense. so. yea.)

Modified Console + package(includes batt, charger, mem card, screen protector) + 1 year warranty = $355

The hole in my pocket is biiiiiig.
Practically all my commanders in sis pec (ha with the spacing search engines wont pick this up anymore) play psp, several of my bunk mates play it, so i tio influenced to get one myself.
2 different friends recommend that i get it from the shop with the website
http://www.qisahn.com/ , and they said the service v good, it's the cheapest u can find, blabla. So i did a little research and was satisfied so decided to go there.
(The shop is opposite Sunshine Plaza. Very near simlim square, near bugis. if you want exact directions ask me.)

Well, i was not exactly satisfied with the service. This young girl served me, and she was obviously rushing through me as there was a customer in queue. She spoke like a bullet train and her hands were moving as fast as she could taking out the console, pressing the buttons, etcetc. She was clearly trying to get me done asap, without being 'patient' and 'helpful' as many described on forums, etc. There's a fine line between being 'efficient' and 'rushed'. -_-
:@ i'm gonna complain on the tagboard thing there.

Anyway, the PSP is really cool! it's not just a gaming console, it's like.. a portable mini PC. besides playing games, it can play music, videos, and even surf the net! (Wifi supported) It can also store images for future reference, and take pictures if you attach some sort of camera to it.
I've upped some random songs and vids on it, and a movie to watch in camp =) haven't got a good game installed in it yet though. dling Tonyhawk pro skater now, will take some time.. 1gb+ file. :/ probably only finish next week.

ok time to book in. chowz.


p.s. on a completely random note, in reference to my very first sentence of this post.. 'sustained impulse' is quite a paradox isn't it =)

dont you love japanese products

was just walking through Daiso @ PS today.. and came across this interesting packet of cookies.


Photobucket
mm. chocolate soft cookies. ok no that's not why it's interesting. btw soft cookies just mean.. it's like 'lou hong' cookies. like you leave your normal cookies open for a long time and it becomes soft. haha. yea. it's that texture. but it's pretty tasty la. with chocolate filling in the middle. won't say it's fantastic or what.
ANYWAY . yea it's interesting cos of the english text below the japanese words.. u cant see them in the above pic cos of the glare . i took another pic:

if you still can't read it, it says:
"A taste that makes sense comes from a production process that makes sense. Please try it"

LOLOL?!? Is that the most random sentence found on a product box ever or what?? hahahah. ok yes the taste makes SO MUCH sense! therefore you must try it! cos it makes sense!
the production process makes sense too ! you put the flour in the oven and bake. it makes sense! alot of sense! therefore the taste makes sense too!

wahaha.


Photobucket
a random shot of my other purchases. (actually stil got more, got mark and spencers choc chip cookies =) [i seriously love the packaging] )
yep, the top box of cookies is from Daiso too.
And i'm addicted to hello panda! i'm buying like one box (of 10) every week. super nice la! cannot stand it. =D

one more week

in the 3 days of field camp that i just had this week, i took about 400++ lives. i took their body in between my fingers and crushed the life out of them. oblirated. however you spell it.

Yea, there were alot of ants. :p the first few days.. about every 20 seconds i felt an ant crawling up my neck or arm or something. then ill just instinctively reach over and squeeze it , roll it up and flick it away. I did it so often that it became... second nature. like.. yawn.

Woo! BSLC is coming to an end. i'm gonna be a CORPORAL soon! Next week is my last week in BSLC (and hopefully in SISPEC. i dont wanna go ASLC) , the only tough thing left is the 28km route march . argh. well ok barring SOC and IPPT and all the PT lessons coming up.

I wanna buy a PSP! bloody hell. everyone around me seems to be playing, especially the commanders in SISPEC. then now i got the urge to play some RPG on PSP. Anyone knows a good deal please let me know! i want the full set, the console and the protectors and mem card. modded of course =X

Oh, just watched Survivor too.. Erik is super poor thing la!! he's like some nice gullible little boy who got totally played by everyone. then the girls all laughing at him somemore when he was voted out. James was freaking funny too. here's a clip from the tribal council:

"I've lost my reign as the dumbest survivor ever"
lololol.

indeed erik, what were you thinking!?!
