Because I had been occupied with stuffs for the last first half of the month, I was not able to do some money-spending. And my hands are itchy, and all my shoes and clothes somehow looked more outdated.
I need to go spend some money.
But my timing are awkward. I want to make a pair of glasses, but my body beckons me to go home cos I don't want to go start and go through another sleepy day tomorrow. So that means any intention to go Marina Square to check out the shoes I saw but did not buy at Great World City are no-no too. In my current physical state, I will not be able to make a sensible decision at shopping (and nowadays, I am pretty watchful about the numbers jumping too fast in my bank account).
So, in my half want-to-shop, half-cannot-go-shopping state, I did a most non-physical shopping. I went online and ordered and downloaded Norton SystemWorks 2006.
No, I am not crazy lah. My system has been running very slowly lately, and I am very feddup already. Recalling the satisfaction of my recent purchase of Norton Anti-Virus (I am still waiting for the $50 rebate they promised on the pack), I decided that I should "complete" the system performance module of the package.
The link on the system window directed me to the U.S. site, of which the software costs US$49 dollars. But heng arh, international clients cannot buy. So I went to Singapore site. They are having an offer of S$72, definitely cheaper than the U.S. site.
A few clicks and data entry later, I downloaded the software. Very fast. I am now an official Norton SystemWorks 2006 user!
I hope I won't get addicted to this online software purchase thingy :P Even as I am typing this, my harddisk is being optimised... Hmm.. It feels good to even say that. Optimised... Heh.

I have this thing at office bugging me.
It was an oversight of mine. The client's brochures are already printed, and the postal service people said they will not be responsible if the brochures gets mixed up. Boss is not happy that I didn't do a mockup to check. But at the end of the day, she was kind enough to say we see what we can do. And client was not like hopping mad. And though the worst scenario is that we will have to print the brochures on company account, it still is in the pits kinda thing.
And I feel still bad. Even though the brochure had gone through alot of changes by the client and the people in her office, I had to admit I had became too numb to the brochure (which took about 6 months to produce) that I overlooked the error...
It sucks.
Before it went to the printer's, I made myself do a thorough check at the brochure to make sure all updates were done. I fear that when the things goes to print, that's it. But still, something HAD to happen. So pfffttt... Sucks big time.
The only comfort I get is that there were not errors or mistakes that were uncorrected in the contents. But it really really sucks to have that flaw.
Argh. ARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!
