A trip to the IT show

I have heard that the only feeling you have in the suntec is that there are so many people.
It is true!
There are so many people in such a small place. It drove me to wonder whether I was in Singapore or in China. I could hardly move a step when I entered the place.
I went there with another seven friends. Unfortunately, I got lost with any of them. I wanted to buy a MP4 which I forgot to take here from my home. Some of other friends wanted to buy cameras. And the rest wanted to buy software. So we left each other and went to different places.
I was wondering whether I should buy an i-touch or an i-pod. I had not decided yet. For me, I have already had a newly-bought laptop. Though it was a little heavy compared to the i-touch, it can still work efficiently. And I doubted that if I bought an i-touch, I would spend many time playing it during the class. It was so attractive to me. Having thought twice, I decided to buy a ipod-classic.
I have waited for nearly half an hour to pay the bill. I could not help being amazed at the great number of people. Many people walked by me one after another. There were still so many people waiting for getting on the elevator. I did not see my friends for a while. And I was a little worry about them. Did they buy what they want? Where were they? Did they find each other?
I thought the price was not cheap. But the sales man gave me a bundle: free USB power charger, Screen Protector and Leather Case.
I did not consider too much about the price. I did not want to spend too much energy in comparing the price one shop after another. What I should do is to buy what I need and do what I should do. Most of the time I do not want to go out of the eton hall and travel around to go shopping. I think it is a waste of time. Singapore is known as a shopping paradise. But it is still too early for me to enjoy a luxury material life.
I felt a little tired after I bought the ipod-classic. I have not gone shopping for a long time. And I suddenly realized I have a lot of homework to do these days. I immediately went out of the suntec.
I could not tell you the exact feeling I had at that time. Maybe I felt more tired than excited. I was tired of dealing something which had bothered me a lot recently. But I believe it is just a difficult period which I can overcome at last.
Now I am using the ipod-classic. It is nice, isn’t it? I hope I can adjust myself in the small holidays to come. I will be OK, so don’t worry about me.

  1. Yes, Singaporeans are great shoppers,especially when there is a sale. I`m not surprised that the IT show drew such a huge crowd. I`m glad you managed to purchase something of use to you.It`s good to pamper yourself once in a while. Do find time to relax during the holidays. You deserve a break!

  2. I can't agree with you more! There were really an awful lot of people! It's good for you to have managed to by an iPod, but I was not that lucky. I went there for a pair of earpiece, I spent the whole afternoon searching all over the Suntec City, but I was not lucky enough to find a suitable pair. That day was a little bit disapointing but, after all, I got to do some exercise. Not bad, isn’t it? T_T
