recession

you wouldn't have guessed that singapore is in the throes of a recession if you were at the IT show at suntec today. it was bursting at the seams. the escalators were packed to the rafters, i seriously thought that a stampede could happen right there and then if somebody tripped and fell.

was there to buy norton 360. it's actually cheaper to get a new product then to renew the subscription online because of the discount given at the show. guess what? it's sold out! what recession, right? so i settled for the norton internet security 2009 at $71 that comes with a free 4gb sandisk cruzer. good deal. :)

estee wanted to buy a portable external harddisk. managed to get a toshiba 320gb for $109 for her. was deciding between this and seagate which costs $10 more but comes with additional 2 years warranty. the seagate one is more sleek and comes with a choice of colours but the toshiba isn't too bad looking either.

collected brochures from all the major camera brands. all were doing a roaring business with some brands having sold out some models. can get a decent one with a budget of $300. however, lumix from panasonic is still priced at a premium so i wasn't tempted to part with my cash. ;)
