Last weekend was the first of the quarterly IT show and I was planning to go on Fri but I got lazy and stayed in. Then Saturday came and went. Although Sun is usually the best day to go get stuff, I didn't even think of going as there was lab for the whole afternoon and we usually end labs at around 6-7pm...
Aunt wanted to go with me if I went on Fri coz her laptop and desktop is dead for a few months already but since I didn't go, she called me on Sun to get some tips. Tried to get me to go with her but told her our class might end real late. Said I could meet her for dinner or something after my class if I end early and she's still at Suntec. :)
And lo, all the stars and planets aligned and we ended real early yesterday! Thanks, lab demons! XD
So I reached Suntec around 5pm but she's not even there yet! I thought she's already at Suntec when she called me earlier!! *_* I'm too hungry to start the battle yet so we went for lunch at Ichiban Boshi. Everything is delicious!! I really really love their Chicken Katsu Curry Rice~~ <3
We went around the usual booths and complained about the services of the local telcos, the lack of appeal for Apple products to us (settle down, fanboys!), our mutual love for how stuffs work and how I don't go to IT shows with friends. To be fair though, I don't like to go with friends to large exhibitions coz I'll hafta squeeze through the crowd, wait for them and make sure I don't lose them while on my own, I could be done in less than an hour. And I really don't have much friends who likes gadgets enough to squeeze through the insane crowd 4 times a year.
She wanted to get a desktop computer so we looked at Dell and HP. Decided on the HP set coz we both prefer HP to Dell. She also bought a wireless keyboard and mouse plus the cooling base board thing for laptops coz it spoiled.
She also wanted to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab coz the touch screen is more sensitive than the older iPhones/iPod Touch and she can finally use her fingerprint-less index finger on it. Strange but true.
And so! After almost 7 paragraphs of setting up the situation and providing some context, we arrive the main point of this post. It was at the entrance of the Singtel booth where my aunt was queuing to get her Galaxy Tab when I saw a guy who looks just like
this guy in that crazy lame 80-ep TV series I recently
finally finished watching. Face to face and everything! That guy I saw IRL is a little shorter and slightly tanner than what I imagine that guy from the show would be like IRL. He even had the same type of haircut and clothes on! *_*
Because I was leaving the booth when he was entering, I took notice of him for only a short few seconds. I tried to go back to see if I could still spot him in the booth for a closer look and confirm that the guy I saw really really exist and looks just like that guy from TV but no luck.
Now, before you chalk this up to like some weird delusion or fantasy, let me just clarify that I don't even like that guy from the show!
