GSS and PC Show

It's that time of the year again where there is the Great Singapore Sale - GSS. I have to say I was impressed by this Boutique Manager from Raoul. There was a sale at the Raoul store and I decided to get a shirt, of course the missus was there to help with the design and colour, you know me totally clueless in that department. After we picked one the Manager came over and asked if she could help us. So I told her I was looking for my size for that particular design and wanted a 16 half which was what I am used to wearing. Immediately she took one look at me and told me, no the 16 will fit you fine and off she goes to get the size 16 for me, came back I tried it on and it fit perfectly !! Outstanding !! unless of course it was a wild guess from her, but I don't think so only with years and years of experience would you be able to tell the shirt size of a customer just by looking at them. Impressive, most impressive.

PC show was on during the weekend. Some friends took the Friday off and went .... WITHOUT ME !! ..... but this year was a little busy on Saturday and was not sure if I could make it on Sunday. I managed to get some time on Sunday to pop down to Suntec, MAN !! was it crowded or what !! It's like some major security operation at Suntec, don't think it was that tight even during the WTO meetings. They close off the carparks and this is at around noon time ONLY. Could not park in there, most other parking areas was full. In the end I made my way to Millenia where there was still a fair amount of parkign lots. Short walk to Suntec. As usual there were lots of bargains to be had. I think it being the last day they really pile on the freebies and discounts. Got me my external harddrive, an MP3 / movie / picture 'Zen' player from Creative and of course some XBox 360 games including the newly released Kung Fu Panda !! woo hooo ... great movie hopefully an entertaining game as well, the missus would like it. But I have to say the organisers really did a good job so much more walking space.
