iTunes in Singapore?!
All this while I’ve been waiting for iTunes shop to come to Singapore. What I didn’t realise was that I don’t have to wait for it at all! I can simply buy songs or shows from the US iTunes shop. i didn’t realise I could do this. They actually sell online gift cards for iTunes. So I got about 20 US worth of gift card and started downloading stuff (legally for once!) from iTunes.
Why did I start doing this? Well…its all because of HEROES! My father-in-law bought some HEROES dvds, but they weren’t the complete set. I was still missing about 6 episodes. I’m not going to wait till Channel 5 finally shows these last 6 episodes. My daughter’d probably be able to talk by then! So I decided to find out whether I’d be able to get them from iTunes. It was! So the next step was to find out if it is possible to buy the shows off iTunes. After abit of prodding around, I realised that it was possible! I downloaded these movies at $1.99 US an episode. Spent about 12 US dollars on them. Its a whole goddamn lot cheaper than buying them off the shelves. Yeah sure, you’ve got the subtitles and all the other stuff with the boxed set, but what happens after you watch them? You keep them in your drawers where they gather dust. Might as well buy them without all the frills. Even if they gather dust, it doesn’t hurt that much 
Now that I’ve got the six episodes, the only thing left to do is to WATCH them. Yeah…haven’t had the time to do that over the weekend. We had a quick tour of Geylang bazaar last Saturday, where we saw a girl who looked like she was drunk when she got her hair coloured. It was as if somebody just splashed different coloured paint onto her head! I would rather shave off my head than go out with hair like that! Then there’s this guy who had his hair all bleached out and he had black spots all over his head. He looked like a ladybird. Some people are freaking…freaks.
Can’t wait for tomorrow. We’d go all out on our shopping cos it’d be payday!
