THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE...

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE, so they say...

I was at Wisma this afternoon to visit the Sony service centre for my new pink gadget. Not surprisingly, the IT Moron struck again. Apparently, the software to transfer the mp3 file to the device requires at least Window 2000 OS to work, and my is only Window 98. And it takes some convincing from the ultra-patient, slightly beefy technical service officer before I believed that there is nothing wrong with the software or the product. In fact, he had to demonstrate a successful transfer. So the truth is out there...that I am a IT moron! Or at least that must be what he was thinking...

Next stop: Plaza Singapura. I had some shopping vouchers that expired in mid-June. So in one afternoon, I spent them amounting to $110, and more from my own pocket. The things I bought were books from The Times Bookstore. Two books to be exact: Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife and Paulo Coelho's The Witch of Portobello. The latter, a current hot property of the local libraries. I was to complete my trips to bookstores for the day at Kinokuniya, where Neil Gaiman's Endless Nights proved irresistible enough. So the truth is out there...that I am a book freak. Well, sort of...

The last dime was spent on two Domanchi shirts: one pink, another green; both stripped. Call me a dandy guy, but the salesman saw me through. The only stripped shirts I wore to office were white-based. It does not help that white is my colour, and I don't wear bright-coloured shirt. Well, he was a sly one, wheedling me into the buys. Anyway, I am rather satisfied with the goods, after having a mini cat-walk in front of the mirror in my room. So the truth is out there...that I am rather vain. For a male, that is...

Sorry, guys, no alien sightings here. But may I proclaim I was once an ardent X-files fan:)
