Photolog
Thursday, September 08, 2005
finally sorted my pictures and got them uploaded! presenting to you the current largest photolog of 42 pictures!
pictures are taken with a Nokia 6230 under Standard Photo mode and are in no way enhanced or edited.
lets start with my trip on 1st november. I actually took the pictures only when I am on my way back. but I will show the pictures in the correct order anyway.
To reach Sim Lim Square, alight at Bugis (EW12) Station.
Exit the station at exit A.
You know you took the correct exit when you see these various street hawkers selling their stuff...
...Past bugis village as well...
...Rochor Centre...
...Fu Lu Shou Complex...
...finally reaching Sim Lim Square.
I did not take anything inside Sim Lim Square since I said I took it in reverse. but I bought a DVD Writer and a 512MB stick of RAM costing S$160 altogether. pictures not clear enough so I did not include them.
I also went to Sim Lim Tower to look for splitters (but failed as most shops are closed on Deepavali)
these are some of the sights you will see on your way back...
some fishers trying their luck at the (rather smelly) Rochor Canal (SLS is on Rochor Canal Road remember?)
and on the escalator back to the station you can see this sign. it has been there since last year for your information.
fast forward to today, I went to Funan DigitaLife Mall (called Funan The IT Mall in the past) to hope to get splitters (but still failed) so I got my DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs there instead.
get off at City Hall MRT station to reach Funan DigitaLife Mall.
proced to exit B.
on my way there I happened to see someone that looked like xiaxue. not too sure whether it is her since she is wearing a cap. the phone is the same model and the hair looks familiar though. so well I am really not too sure.
but if it is true, she is really rather short, at the height of... somewhere between Jiahui and Pamela I suppose. never went to see whether she is wearing high heels or what.
did not take her picture in case I become famous overnight in her blog.
anyway turn left and you should see Funan DigitaLife Mall.
by the way, Funan DigitaLife Mall is...
=X
I proceeded to Challenger first, since that is where those HWZ guys mentioned.
that Challenger occupies the entire Level 6, the topmost level in the building. I had to go level after level on the escalator to reach there (sheesh).
halfway up I saw this new area on level 5.
it is just some area for lifestyle electronics. handphones, cameras, TVs and such. probably to match its new DigitaLife branding. just some lame small area so I dont see the point.
well because of that inbox5 thing...
one of the entrances to Challenger (used to be one on each side of the building) was closed. see the "No Entry. Upgrading in Progress" sign at the lower part?
and so I dragged myself to the other end of the building to...
...finally.
I took quite a few pictures in Challenger since the friendly salespeople dont care about it..
Challenger is not called a Superstore for nothing...see!
ink cartridges from Epson...
...to HP...
...to canon.
the canon picture is shaky because the salespeople were sitting at a desk facing those canon inks so I had to take it quickly.
other than inks, optical medias as well.
not to forget mouse and keyboards. you can test them too if you want.
speakers and laptops and desktops and even MP3 players. I did not take all of them as I am lazy.
they also have this portable hard drive I am looking out for. though this 40GB model is overpriced. (80GB at SLS is only 299 and they are selling 40GB at 219)
rich companies can get a section dedicated to them as well. Symantec and Microsoft for example.
and I bought 10 pieces of Imation i-Crystal DVD+R (S$9.90) and 3 pieces of Imation DVD+RW ($3.90 each) before leaving.
I also noticed lots of shops in SLS opened branches in Funan DigitaLife Mall as well.
Cybermind used to have 4 stores, now only 1 left. cant find Fuwell though I am quite positive they have a store there as well.
next I took the time wasting MRT back to Jurong East and finally had lunch at 2+pm. then I went to another building that is...
=X I swear they are taken at different places okay!
come let's guess where it is...
dont know?
still dont know?
travellators! those in Changi Airport! a big clue!
still dont know!? okay fine one last one...
if you still dont know go smack yourselves.
anyway the answer (you should know by now) is...
it is managed by CapitaLand rememeber? go see the right side of the lower pillar at the place where you get off with the shuttle bus if you dont believe!
who wanna go National Library next next week? or is anyone going out? please tell me! I am gonna be bored stiff after the hustle and bustle of next week...
