GEP Camp Second Day

The panel discussion was pretty good...

Someone gave me something very thoughtful today... :) Thanks a million

Circus Arts was awesome. The Chinese Diabolo is totally awesome. Go look for a video or try one yourself. :) Its quite difficult to describe how it looks and how it works. But its awesome :)

Juggling was an epic phail, because I have had terrible problems with catching stuff all my life. 

Plate spinning was pretty interesting.

Most of these stuff are like either you get it straightaway, or you'll never every get it your whole life.

Oh yeah, I discovered that the boarding school piano is a Steinway. No fair! Lucky people...

After school I had this Moot Parliament meeting where we were supposed to edit our slides. Except that only Nico came. Arul didn't answer his phone. Avery dunno where. Noel with Lee Suan Yew auditions.

So we went home...

I went with my mom and Ethan to Wheelock Place, because we were getting an iMac for my him and also helping her colleague buy one too. I suppose she needed me to carry one. 

Well this time Apple did something really stupid. They cut off the numeric keypad from the keyboard, which I find terribly important. There is an option to order an iMac with the numeric keypad, except you need to wait two weeks and will not be eligible for a $200 cash rebate. So we went with that option because the cashier was terribly confusing and told us about the rebate thing after the whole deal was signed and done.

Then on the way home, we realized that we should have gone with the numeric-keypadless default option, get the $200 cash rebate, then buy a standard keyboard at $78 each on top of that. 

So we were almost home, around east coast, when we decided to drive all the way back to Orchard Road because the customer service hotline was full. So we drove all the way back, and settled it.

So because we took the default option, we got to bring the iMacs home today. It feels totally awesome to walk out of the Apple Store with two iMacs... even though neither was mine :)

Then we drove all the way home...
