IT Show
I have so many overdue entries. Had a lot of inspiration last week to write but I did not have time to get down to it so I had to save them and continue later, now kind of later so here goes belated post number 1.....

Last week was the IT show, again, at Suntec City. It seems to have evaded the most hardcore of forum-surfers and ones who might find switching on the computer as the number one priority ahead of the lights upon entering a room. While they somehow managed to not read a thread regarding an upcoming IT show, my friends did stumble upon a thread that came after. I would suggest looking at the link first, it would save me plenty of words...

It was shocking. I thought CityLink was going even further underground when I saw the sight of it, first hand. Why? I agree Singapore is tech-savvy but this is madness. First thing I would want to point out is we have an IT show every 3 MONTHS. If we are capable of destroying something in 3mths, we deserve the loudest most sincere round of applause. If it's a mechanical fault, we deserve new brands in the market. If we are lagging behind, wait, how can you lag behind in tech gadgets when we are having the fair every 3 months? If we are just being Kaypoh and wanting to kuay sio(get warm; also means going after the crowd), we deserve to get kicked in the butt straight to Phuture.
It's really the nation's favourtite past-time. We have seen it when Kitty said Hello to us. We have seen countless everyday examples, sales especially. Do we really have so much to buy? Or maybe I am right about us being just very nosey people. I think the latter is very possible. Guilty of falling into this group of people myself, I used to visist every IT show with my friends just to "walk walk". And I bet most of them at the fair are doing the same; just look at their empty hands, except for the countless brochures that they are dying to hide it inside the bins immediately upon their exit. And the brochure point furthers my point; they just want to walk around and chase the crowd, if not the brochures would have been quite worthy of some time on their journey home.
Russell Peter made a joke about us. You know what Singaporeans like to do? They will try every piece of clothing and said, " It's okay." It is in his "Red white and yellow" and I should be roughly correct unless i really recalled it wrongly or had some false memory.....
Curiosity killed the cat and my aunt did mention the Suntec City escalators are not built to carry so many people. Maybe that's why they had to rebuilt that old one in front of Suntec. We need some crowd control here.
