Wonderful experience purchasing Creative Roar

I purchased the Creative Roar yesterday.. One of my best buys during these kind of IT Shows.. Wonderful experience..

First, I buay paiseh asked a promoter for $20 voucher and he gave me one.! No need to go line up for jackpot(queue was damn long).. Thumbs up for promoter! Yah, some of them not quite knowledgeable.. But when you buy IT stuff, try do your research first.. Dun rely on them that much..

Next at the cashier while paying, this sweet cashier asked if I will be carrying the Roar around.. (I bought the $199 w "free" Creative Woof 2 and no carrying case) Then she went off and gave me the carrying case too.. Pleasantly surprised..

Then while heading off, I saw that I could get free spins in the jackpot machine.. Went to the machine and there was this friendly uncle.. He told me I could get 2 free spins & could cut the queue! Got both the $20 and $50 vouchers in spin.. :S The ladies mending the jackpot gave an additional earphone(EP-430) and some black pouch.. More freebies..

Then finally the nice uncle came up to me again and told me to head over the stage to redeem yet another "high end" earphones.. Showed my receipt and the promoter gave me a EP-600 earphone.!

Felt so good for the wonderful experience.. Passed my vouchers to my friend who was thinking of purchasing the Roar.. Sharing is caring.. Btw the plastic bag they gave is not the NTUC/Sheng Shiong type lah.. Got standard one.. And your Roar is not that heavy also.. :S

Anyways, support our local products! Now, time to play with my new toys.. :D

Review: Carpenters.com.sg

Currently, I am engaging carpenters.com.sg to install shoe shelves and feature wall to mount my TV. First impressions ok. After payment, not quite as expected. Let me go through the whole episode before ranting out here.


Note: You better be ready. ;)

How to set passwords in excel sheets and prevent unauthorised viewing of the sheets

Created this guide on how to set passwords in excel sheets and prevent unauthorised viewing of the sheets.

Guide:

Sample:

;D

First step is to spread them out wide.. Admire & laugh if you like.. Then start putting it in.. Add some action to it.. Take it out if you must.. Remember to follow rhythm & sequence.. And lastly, make sure you end it with a bang.!

And that's how you make a photo montage with PowerPoint.. ;)

Budget Review

I did a budget review yesterday. Results not good. In deficit after savings. Haiizz. How to start off my investing liddat. Need to tighten the belt now. And best-source for my purchases.

Anyways, back to the the budgeting. Next step is to list out all your expenses. All your monthly bills, transport, makan, subscriptions, insurance & $$$ for your love ones; all the monthly expenses. For those with monthly loans for housing after cpf deduction, do include them. If you don't have an exact amount, have a habit to keep track of your expenses. I use a mobile app for this. U can use an excel sheet which you must key in at the end of the day or a small notebook which you can write down. Personally, a mobile app is the easiest. Since February, I have been keeping track of all my expenses. :D Now just need to maintain it.

That's all for expenses. This I think this is the tough part. The rest onwards should be easy.
