IT Show 09

I had went to the IT Show at Suntec on Thursday 12pm, because I wanted to get that DLink DIR-655 router star-buy at 1pm at $139. It is really a good router from the reviews I read online, and am determined to get it. When I reached at 11.50am, there were already some people waiting outside to go in at 12pm haha. In the end, I managed to get it after queuing for 1 hour.

Then I walked around the show. Bought a 8gb sandisk cruzer micro thumbdrive and small laser mouse for my bro, Toshiba XD-E500KA dvd player for dad, and a WD MyBook Essential 1TB for my own backup and storage. I also got a small mini keyboard as a replacement for my current one.

Reached home, setup router and all, and realized that I can fully utilize my newly recontracted 8mbps singnet broadband in torrenting! The previous router I owned limited me to only 150 connections in torrents, which scaled back the full download speed my plan was capable of reaching. Now, I could open 2000 connections in torrent, and download at full speed! So many files were downloaded in just under 1 hour hehe.

I went to the show again on saturday with my family, and we bought a microwave oven cos our house did not have 1, and a 22" LCD tv for my bro's room. I also got a A4Tech X-718BK mouse to replace my Krait. In the end, we spent about $1k in this show.

The DVD player upscaled standard dvds and applied advanced algorithms to enhance the picture quality, which was quite visible. I wasn't very happy with the A4Tech mouse, as it now seems abit too heavy to use haiz. I got a new mousepad from cyberactive to match it, but it still felt heavy >.<

Now, I'm busy with eca, project, and finding jobs! Sian, can't find job yet. Cannot forget my driving too! haha..

Till then!
