What happens when you go to a place and your shirt makes you stand out like nobody's business? Well, that's what I experienced when I went to COURTS at Jurong Point today, and man, it was WEIRD. Here's how it happened. The day started off as a normal school day, although we weren't really having lessons today especially since half the class were gone for practical exams whereas the rest (us) were simply left in the class to do our self-revision, which is great because surprisingly we could complete more without a teacher than having one around, maybe it's just the release of tension, when the teacher's not around. After school, I went back home to take a nap because I was meeting up with Linsay later in the day to catch up on some revision on A Maths before the test tomorrow. After the revision, I left Linsay to meet up with my dad to go to Jurong Point (and so the proper story begins) for dinner and to look around some stuff I would really like to buy, heh.
When we reached there, the place was packed. I am not sure, it could be myself, but everybody I saw at the place seemed to be pretty upset over something, because their faces were reaaaaallly black, or perhaps they just couldn't be bothered to look cheerful even though there was so much stuff to look at. My dad and I headed to the food court to have our dinner. It's been SO LONG since I had the Jurong Point's Fish and Chips (it was my heck of a favourite since a kid, but then I discovered doubleboiled food so my tastes changed). The taste of the fish hasn't changed one bit even though the wok has been passed to a different owner. I'd recommend it to you guys if you are interested in fish that has tons of filling and less flour so it's really worth the money, and the tartar sauce is superb yo.
After the sumptous meal, we headed to COURTS (climax approaches), and I was taking a look at all the latest gadgets and computerware. My eyes fell on the ACER Aspire One. It was a mini-notebook, which basically has all the basic functions of a computer but the pluses are that it's really light and you can practically carry it anywhere to process your work and surf the web. I was interested in it because of the way it looked as well, it was really stylish and all, so I secretly marked it down as one of the items which I'd consider getting. As I was looking around some more, all of a sudden people started coming up to me and asking me random questions. They'd stare at me and ask questions about the stuff I was infront of, which I couldn't answer of course. APPARENTLY, my class t-shirt, the one I was wearing resembles the workstaff uniform which the staff of COURTS wear!! Man, when I realized that it was too late, a ton of people just started irritating me by coming up to me and asking me tons of questions without even confirming that I really was just a passer-by just like them.
And best of all, some of them asked questions which were totally WEIRD man! Example: "Excuse me, this computer here... does it work like a computer?" LIKE WHAT THE HECK RIGHT?!?!?! Man, I guess I could have messed around alittle and reply, "Yeah it's actually a tv with a keyboard to type the channels you'd really enjoy watching" and get away with it but I didn't of course. In the end it was just becoming a pain just being in the store trying to browse through the things when people keep tapping my shoulders for queries on stuff which I had no clue about. So a warning to my fellow classmates: "DO NOT WEAR OUR CLASS T-SHIRT TO COURTS, OR ANY PLACE WITH BLACK POLO-TEES AS A UNIFORM WEAR, PERIOD!"
Took some pictures:
The ACER Aspire One! I won't go into details with the specs, but it's hella good in my opinion!
Jurong Point has certainly changed alot since I last visited, it even has this extension of the place which is trying to look like it has a japanese feel to it.
