卫塞节的收获

Our home laptop had been down for these few months with some systems – 1st were the graphic card issue and we sent it for repair and solved the problem. Now it is the screen total black out. So Adrian said we had to get a new laptop before he leaves for his next working trip in mid July.

So yesterday we went to Fun Digital mall to check out a Computer road show organized by this company called MC2. Before going for the road show, we already saw the advertisement on Straits Times and knew what we wanted to get.

After making all the enquiries about the prices and specification of the laptop, we decided to have a quick lunch before making the purchase.

Then after lunch, we went back to the fair and bought a Compaq Presario laptop. It was bundled with some free upgrades and the price was at $1499. And we also did the extended warranty for 2 years for additional of $260.

After making payment for the laptop, we were entitled to a Free Spin at their Wheel of Fortune. The highest cash price is $888, and then followed by $188 and there are also $38 and $18. I went on the platform to do the spin. The DJ allowed me 1 free trial and for that trial round, the spin stop at $18. Then it was the REAL THING and I started to spin the wheel and it went on…and on and finally stops at $188.00.

Immediately I went to the counter and was given $188 in CASH. Adrian told me the sale person told him that our extended warranty was almost free when he saw the spin…haha. Must be one of my lucky days.

We went home feeling happy and satisfied with the new laptop and our little 安慰奖。

In the evening, we had home cooked meal at my In-laws house. In celebration of Mothers Day, the men of the Tan Family decided that they wanted to cook for the ladies. The menu for dinner was – Pineapple rice (cooked by my hubby), beef striploin and bacon wrapped asparagus (cooked by my 2nd brother-in law) and 一色蛋波菜/ special sauce pompret (cooked by my youngest brother in-law). For dessert, my father in law bought fruits and ice-cream from Island Creamery. My 2nd sister in-law also baked an apple pie to go with the ice-cream.

We had a “5 course meal” with red wine and at the end of the dinner, I was so, so FULL.
So I reckoned for Father Day, the women of the family will cooked up a storm for the men…hee.
