Hey is it me or have i not blog for a long long time. Yeah, in blogger.com 1 wk = long long time. You have to keep up with the ever-changing IT technology and hardware thingy. So with that note i did went to the IT fair exhibition at Suntec City Convention Hall. The next picture would show you a scene there.
I was standing there, looking around or rather squeezing around. Just doing some window sight-seeing i guess. The only thing I bought was a MMORPG game called "Perfect World" for an offer price of $2.00! To my disappointment, it took up 2++GB on my hard disk =.= And i can't even access the server in school! Haha oh yeah, school banded these types of webbie.

Now i'm at level 6 of Suntec City Convention Hall taking the view of the third story. Yup, your eyes didn't deceive you. There was a playstation 3 try-out booth there. Okay, so the blue-ray disc technology will minimise piracy, but how far can that take them. Each disc costed around $60.00. That's a turn off, considering you buy a Pac-Man game for that amount.

oooo. Guess what's this? Ha ha, my fav! Pepper Lunch, munch munch =D Oh i think a few people i went out to eat there kinda got sick of it. Well, too bad for them. Wahaha, more pepper lunch for me. Hey wait, it's fattening =.= booooo. By the way, that's the cheapest dish on the menu- Beef rice ($8.50), and i just flood it with the honey garlic sauce :)

Oh oh oh, went to accompany my friend to a nearby clinic/hospital at Yio Chu Kang area. It's called Thye Hua Medical Centre or something like that. As he wasn't sure of the exact location. So poor me went to wait for him like 3hours there. Oh, he's coming into NYP next year so taking his ICA test lor. Yeah, the wait was painful not to mention he saw his friends and i saw mine. Ho ho.

Ah there he is on the right side. The place is cosy and comfortable, he had to undergo the blood and urine tests. Haha, not mentioning how the urine collection went, but it was fun seeing blood being taken out from another person. Wahahaha.

Some pics i took with my cell members hogging the PSP. The people in the pictures are Justin, Mark and Samuel. I'm sure you can figure out the order of the names... Oh man, i wanna get one too. Play out the functions and stuff. Well, price would drop drop drop... then i'll see.

Then went to a restaurant to eat. Er is one of my friend treat us this buffet. Four of us in total.

It's something like Seoul Gardens i think. Except better. The food cooked are in soup (you can choose the types), or you can order cooked food to eat.

Buffet allows you to order any food on the menu at a cap price paid at the end of the meal. Now how good is that offer yeah? I LOVE people who treats other people. Makes me feel so accepted. Lol.

Now blogging about one of my working day, just like any other day. So what exactly is any other day? One thing to point out, Paul's 101 guide to become an efficient Hawker =D Skill #1: to predict whether a potential customer wants to sit on a particlar table by judging their eye movement, the route they take and the food stall holders that touted them over. Okay i guess u're quite blurred now ba. An example a customer would 75% sit on a table if he/she keeps starring at that seat (determining whether the seat is clean anot), points to that table with his/her friends (means sit there lar), the menu is on the table (means order the food) and the stall holder keeps directing them to the table (prevents them from siam-ing), and they do not move about too much (fidgeting means not interested in whatever u're showing me). Yup, and the failure [rate] of 25% is when another friend(s) just moves off/ points to another location/ or say "no" to the current food ordered.

That concludes skill #1. I hope u had learned something new and understand how complex it is to be even an ordinary job as a hawker...

Yup, so that's it for my blog. Thank you for reading it =D Chao
