I became a proud owner of a pair of Ultimate Ears SuperFi 4 last Saturday in the midst of all the Stage 2 preparation which is now over!

A pretty cool set of earphones. The bass is good and the reviews online are pretty good as well.

If anyone is interested in buying earphones or headphones, check out Jaben Network which has a store located in the building opposite of Funan. Friendly owners and good stuff. You can try out the various earphones there as well. Highly recommended!

Remember the pair of shoes I mentioned last week? I finally found a shop that has a pair of my size and I bought it. Time to change the pair of shoes I bought more than a year ago. (It is still in a wearable condition but you can see age catching up.)

With this, I have ended my shopping for summer 2008, albeit with some stuff I would have wished to buy. But alas, money is a scarce resource.

$75 (pair of jeans after 15% discount) + $49 (shirt) + $149 (shoes) + $9 (belt) = $282

With this I have spent $282 and this is pretty much more than enough.

Need to catch The Dark Knight next week. I heard it was pretty good. Too bad all the tickets are sold out for the cinemas I went to this week. I couldn’t believe it when we couldn’t even get seats in the first row.

And I can’t believe Wall E only premiers in Singapore on 28 Aug, TWO MONTHS after its premier in the US.

It’s rather late but I finally managed to pass my driving test on Friday on my second attempt. Suffice to say, I almost passed my first attempt until something happened and I lost my concentration for a moment, almost resulting in a collision.

But this means going back to 1 SIR. Not something I look forward to.

I went shopping yesterday, something I have not done for a long time. I managed to spend close to $150 on a pair of jeans and a shirt. (The money comes from the IPPT gold award in BSLC. I thought they were kidding when they said there was a monetary reward.) And thanks to my friends who gave me a watch and a shirt for my birthday. I really appreciate them.

The most annoying thing that happened to me was when I wanted to buy a pair of shoes and it turns out they no longer have my size. This happened to all the pairs I wanted.

I didn’t buy any in the end.
