Crazy CNY money spending fever...

Haiz...

I tot i spend quite a hefty sum for last year CNY... However, when comparing wif tis year CNY... Haiz...

My TV at home is old liao... And often the color can gone crazy, displaying reddish screen... Tis can be quite irritating at time, when i'm watching my favourite programs... Tis week, i juz called to Starhub to renew my Cable TV plan, sigining up the promotion of installing a DVR setup box, which has the recording functions inside... Cool!!! However, i need to pay an additional cost of $299.25 for tis plan... Haiz...

Sigining up tis new plan, oso means it's time to change my house, tat old TV liao... Went down to Courts today wif mom, n after wide range n serious consideration... We bot an 32 Inch LG flat screen TV, tat comes wif the latest HDMI features... My pocket hole is like getting bigger n bigger... Haiz...

Anyway, at least at the end of the day... Everybody happy can liao...

I'm still playing happily wif my iPod... I'm still wondering, now should i convert n transfer the whole episodes of Princess Hour into my iPod anot... Heehee...

Feeling So Good To Be Lazy @ Home...

Haha...
My company onli opens on the 26th Feb... So now i been lazying at my home for the past one week... It feels so good to be lazy at home... Due to CNY cookies & snacks, causing my throat to gone sore, follow by slight fever... So practically, i been enjoying sleeping at home for most hours... I keep on drinking water to ensure my condition will not go worse...

Wednesday is so fun... Gone to Ernest's house for two rounds of Marjong... It has been quite a long time since i touch Marjong already... On tat day, the shirt i'm wearing, got some red strips on the shoulders... Red = Lucky... Haha... I'm the big winner for tat day... Tat is my first time to win so much... Basically, the luck keep visiting my tiles, which resulted mi as the bigger winner... Haha...

Actually, tis Marjong session, is like half organised at the start, confusion on date on the half, n last moment cancel off (Was cancelled before on Tuesday)... J, the person who is organsing, get herself so angry wif all of us... Coz plp r always the same kind... We can't give a definite answer whether we r available or not, until the veri last moment... However, on the veri last minute, on Tuesday night, J called back everyone again, saying tis session is still ongoing... Coz finally, those plp tat last minute says they can't make it, now says they can make it liao... Wat a headache... All r trouble-makers... Haiz...

Thursday is an exciting day for mi...

WHY?

Coz finally, after 1 year of waiting, i bot my beloved iPod liao on tat day, from Epicentre@Orchard... Actually, i got a $50 voucher from Starhub to make any purchase... But even wif the voucher, i still need to top up another $548 to purchase tis iPod 80GB... I love apple & iPod so much (Great Supporter to them)...

I muz admit i rather quite poor in reading manual instructions... Took mi freaking sweating time before i realised how to charge my iPod's batteries...

On Friday, i went back to office... Haha... The iTunes inside my (Personal) iMac @ office, consist of many many songs tat i bot for the past 2 years... Since tis is my first time doing song transfer from iTunes to iPod, took mi some time to understand tis transfering process...

My iPod's Problems Encounter

Just when i tink everything is working fine, when i eject my iPod, the screen on my iPod went black, wif onli an apple logo at the center... I panicked on the spot... I am like, oh shit, wat happen...??? I try to reset the iPod, restart it, n all it shows, is in its disk mode function... I can't go back to my colorful mode... I quickly called back apple hotline to seek for assistance... Thru the phone, tis gal assistant, after giving mi some advice, i still cannot get back my iPod to the colorful display... Thus, she recommand mi to restore my iPod... So i do as she says... After some waiting n stuffs, finally my iPod shows back the colorful screen... So i thank the gal assistant thru the phone, n hang the phone... Retriving back my iPod, i start to transfer the songs to my iPod again... And after the transfer, i eject my iPod, the same problem happens again... I used the restoring method again, do transfer next, n kana wif the same problem again after i click eject to my iPod... I began to get frustrated liao... I hve 992 songs to be transferred into my iPod... Whenever i transfer abt 600-700 songs into my iPod, try to eject, everything works fine still... It is onli when i try to transfer the last 200++ songs into my iPod, click to eject next, den tis jamming/hanging problem occur... I strongly dun tink iPod has any limitation in the number of songs they can store... So i suspect prehaps, some songs tat i'm transferring, may hve some corrupted info or whatever stuffs inside, which iPod can't read... Tat's y my iPod always display an apple icon screen (Looks like a jamming screen to mi) whenever i try to eject my iPod away from my iMac... And indeed, after spending quite long time to do trial testing on every songs (For the last 200++ songs onli), i discovered which is the song tat keep jamming my iPod... It is 蔡依林 - 假装... The chinese characters used for tis song name, somehow the iMac & iPod recognise it as a veri complex character, which they hve difficulties in spelling out its naming, n based on its naming to call out its source file... Tats y my ipod is always jamming at the black screen (Wif apple logo at the center) when i eject my ipod away from the iMac... Okie... Now i noe such kind of problems... Next time if i encounter again, i will noe how to fix it, rather den keep on restoring n restoring my ipod... For juz one day, i dunno restore my ipod for how many many times liao... Haiz...

Now my ipod got 992 songs, n hundreds of MV inside as well... Mark my words, if 花样少年少女 later got release VCD version for its drama, i will go buy it, convert n transferred the whole series into my iPod... Haha...

Wif iPod 80GB in hand, i wun need to endure life wifout music anymore...

CNY Fever...

Now is the Day 2 of CNY...

Imagine during the eve... I hve to drag my body up, to go all the way to Balestier to buy roasted meat & Chai Shao... And all the way to TPY to buy YuSheng...

BaGuan is so expensive... I nv tot the BaGuan's rates can be as high as $45++... I always tot their rate is ard $30++ onli... Prawns r expensive oso... But quite worth the money, coz the prawns tat i bot tis year, is much bigger den last year... Pineapple tarts, snack cookies, chilly-prawn spring rolls... All these munchies' pricing is almoz the same, but when buying them together, i oso feel another expensive... Haha...

Can't imagine, i spend so much, more den expected for tis CNY... But as usual, tis is once in a year... So it's still okie...

For tis year CNY, i oso spend quite a lot of money to buy clothes... I'm going for the color of red, in order to get auspicious for tis CNY... YuSheng, i oso hve wreak havoc liao... But how come, my 4D numbers still dun strike... Haha...

My CNY break is going to last until 25th Feb, which is quite a long break... Time to relax hard in my home liao... In the second week of March, i will be transfering to day shift liao... Hurray!!!
