What did I do today?

Well, I did say I was going to the Toys 4 Big Boys exhibition this morning. Speaking from a lass point of view, I felt quite unsatisfied. We were duped into the sense of that there would be many gadgets, more state of the art technology you ever see before the year is out, extreme sports stalls... and I was actually quite curious how a lapdancing "gentleman's club" might advertised themselves, even that was a let down. The girls were quite lifeless. Stalls were all over the place, no sense of organisation.

The Lexus car from Minority Report was just an empty shell! I was not impressed by Vodaphone's promotion of the new Panasonic clamshell phone (not sure what model and I do not care :-p ) The lads pad was just mediochre, basically someone designed what a batchelor's pad should be like. Too many audio/visual exhibits. Not enough gadgets! Oish mentioned that if we were in an exhibition in Japan, we would have "gadgets coming out of our ears!". One hour was enough to view everything. Not impressed is my overall view. A very disappointing show all in all.
Had coffee across the road, noticing that a newbie in the shop kept on getting orders wrong. Then we headed to my BF's dad's house for more coffee and cake. After we went to get the bus to town. The bus took ages to arrive! By the time we got to town, we headed to Game (surprisingly!). I was getting hungry, we decided to go to Spud You Like in the Jervis centre.
Of course, my BF and I fell behind and as we were heading to the Food Hall, I was a wee bit distracted by The Bear Factory in the Jervis centre, and my BF got me a kitty cat! Seeing the cat being stuffed and stitched up was quite wierd to witness. Before the cat was stitched up, I had to warm up a heart, kiss and make a wish, and place it in the bear. There was a book of names to choose from, and after the cat was sown up, and was named "Fudge", we brought him up to the counter, and Fudge got a birth certificate! How cute. Plus the cat was placed in a carrier box...even more cute.
Anyhoo, we did go for some food, and we finished off the afternoon shopping for food to re-stock our supplies.
And now I am here (after some rest) blogging... :-p
