Lugged the insanely heavy CPU back to Sim Lim Square this morning, found the shop closed :( was in a little fix because my dad was waiting for me in the event its closed so he could take me home. Fortunately after loitering for abit one of the staff from Fuwell told me they'd open at 12pm.

The same guy who fixed my computer up was there before the shop opened too. Since I was there really early, he attended to my computer first, though there were 4-5 people by the time it opened. Whew. He was a little pissed because the other guy working with him wasn't there yet and basically I reversed all the work he did because I restored everything to factory's defaults. He was really nice though, letting me exchange the RAM which he thought was faulty for a new one, and later when it was found that my motherboard couldn't take that many RAM sticks, got me a refund. Weiting was right to say that even though they charge abit more, "they don't tell you to **** off when you return with anything wrong". He troubleshooted for really long and installed Vista for me at no charge. That's real service and I thank God for people like that, or my dad will be really pissed with me since he wanted me to get a ready-made one from the start.

Met Xin Ning later at Bugis for the start of the Indian food outing! In the end didn't go to Little India (awwwwww, my HOME) and went to Arab Street instead to eat at Zam Zam. Anyway, kinda ironic a CHINESE (don't start your half-malay thing again) had to bring an INDIAN (true black Indian) to eat INDIAN (muslim) food. Thanks for the treat :P Went back to Bugis to restock for the week. Hope my cough mixture in camp doesn't run out because I have quite a nice stash of chocolates for this week :D :D :D Headed down to Chinatown afterward for traditional chinese desserts at Mei Heong Yuen Dessert that she had been raving about for a while. The desserts were rather nice even for a non-chinese-dessert-fan. Gotta bring my mum down someday, she goes crazy for chinese desserts. All in all, a fulfilling public holiday even though I didn't get to setup my computer yet (cya on friday!).
