Birthday

My birthday just passed this week. Took a day out and we brought ZQ for a swim, he had good fun. While he was sleeping in the afternoon, hubby and I took time out for a buffet high tea at Goodwood park hotel - it's quite an enjoyable time and been a long time since we've done this after ZQ's birth. Should do this more often.

Having had our high tea, we went to sim lim square to look for some electronic gadgets. Had always wanted to have another slim camera as my current one is rather big - though it has good fetures, zoom, etc but it is cumbersome to bring it around. Hubby was also looking for one for his office. In the end, he bought a Casio Exilim with 7x zoom. It's quite cool and has quite shutter speed which is something he is looking for. The best part of it is that he has had a vv good bargain for it.

We shopped for it and the price started with 500+, went up to 600+ and in the end we bought it at 400+ - difference from the various shops was about $200 and some only 1 GB card but we got 2 GB. Hubby also bought an extra battery. It was fun and I did not know that the prices can vary so great - in fact, the camera we bought costs $669 in major shopping centres with 1GB card . So far we had been using it and it is fine.

Harvey Norman had a sale at Expo too and the price is at $669 .. so i wonder what kind of sale do u call it if they are selling it at the same price as any other shops.

Anyway, for Sim Lim, it is good to check around and also find out what are the freebies that comes with the deal, it differs from shop to shop. I must admit that electronic goods are so cheap in Singapore and we can easily afford them.

Regarding savings in price, that depends on if you have the time and energy to go scout around, else it is better to buy it at major shopping centres.

Talking about gadgets - ha, i have not buy birthday gift yet ... since hubby bought a camera for himself i can always borrow it. If i buy one for myself then we have too many cameras at home as he also just bought an SLR recently but does not know how to fully utilise it. Now i have to start looking around for another useful electronic gadget *thinking hard.

Evening, we had a cake cutting celebration where ZQ practiced his cake blowing again. He loves to blow the candles, singing birthday song, clapping.
