Oakley sunglasses


Really love this pair of sunglasses (Oakley Ducati Juliet) so had requested Vision Express to order a pair from Oakley for me in August 06 (ordered just for trying, no deposit needed).

A few days later, after the salesperson managed to order the sunglasses, she called to say that the price is 125 pounds...... I thought the price is 250 pounds??? Maybe I heard wrongly....

Finally the salesperson called this week to say that the sunglasses is here and I can pop down to their branch to try.




I bought it for 125 pounds including the case!! Great bargain!! The salesperson mentioned that she told me the price is 125 pounds (due to wrong info from Oakley), thus she have to honour it and sell it to me at 125 pounds. The case which normally cost about 30 pounds is free as a gift since I waited a month for the sunglasses.



I have to comment on the great service from Vision Express. The salesperson are very friendly and polite. Eventhought I only ordered the sunglasses for trying (no commitment to buy), she treated us as potential customer and given us full attention. Highly recommended for Vision Express.

BTW, I decided to keep the phone too!

So how??

Saw a good deal on O2 website on Wednesday and can't resist not buying.

The goods arrived today which include the followings:-
- 1 Motorola V3im (including 512 micro SD)
- O2 Sim card Pay as you Go (For Jaster)
- 1 ITech Arrow Bluetooth Headset
- 3 X 15 pounds HMV online vouchers

All these cost me 119.99 pounds. Great bargain cos the Motorola V3im is already selling on ebay for more than 120 pounds.

O2 is no longer selling this phone as a PAYG since Thursday (1 day after I bought mine). I was worried that I'm not going to get mine cos they might had realised that they make a mistake as to the pricing (very cheap for such a phone on O2). Oh well, now I got my phone, I'm very tempted to keep the phone as I love the colour (actual colour as picture above) of the phone but I don't really need another new phone, do I??

Internet music

My colleague recommend me this website - www.pardora.com. You type in your favorite artist/ song and it creates a station for similar type of songs.

Great website for discovering new songs.

Err, you want to buy??



Only 7.49 pounds from thehut.com and you will get yours in maybe........................... year 2020!!

Guildford



Fond memories of Guildford.

Used to walk up and down this path every day from Uni of Surrey to train station & return to work in London. I was slimmer then due to the exercise (fast walking to train station, running to catch the train/ tube, walking up/ down the escalator and climbing up the slope to Uni).

Now we have car in Cambridge, too lazy to even walk to Tesco!

Sunday

We had the Prima Taste Laska that Renee bought for us as
dinner and it was delicious!! Except for no cockles.


Our Laksa.

After dinner, we had plans to go to Cambridge ‘Park and View’ outdoor screening.


Managed to get the ticket and thought that we had never been to drive in movie, thus should go and see. Added to that fact that the movie was 'Grease' which Sam & I had never seen before, so we went despite it was raining.



The rain stopped when the movie was played and the atmosphere was brilliant. People were honking their car horns to synchronize with the songs in the movie. Sam even joined in. Fun!!

Will definitely go again if there's more screening.

I won! I won!!



Not long ago, I submitted my photo for the 'Four million smiles', today I received an email to say that I won the 3rd prize.

What if

I never regret the path I chosen and the life I had but sometimes I do wonder the 'what if'. Prehaps we all think that grass is always greener on the other side......

Here I stand alone
With this weight upon my heart
And it will not go away
In my head I keep on looking back
Right back to the start
Wondering what it was that made you change

Well I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind

What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know

Many roads to take
Some to joy
Some to heartache
Anyone can lose their way
And if I said that we could turn it back
Right back to the start
Would you take the chance and make the change

Do you think how it would have been sometimes
Do you pray that I'd never left your side

What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know

If only we could turn the hands of time
If I could take it back would you still be mine

'Cos I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keep on spinning in my mind

What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
What if I had never walked away
'Cos I still love you more than I could say
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
We'll never know
