Had no idea what to do today as we had already bought the groceries for next week. Thus we decided to search for a new mouse for my laptop as my little son had pulled out the wire from the mouse last week and I had been "mouseless" for a week. Not that I used the computer at all last week, it just a matter of time before I need one. Thus we went down to Officeworks to check out the price. Adrian had already checked with MSY and that he had a price list of the optical mouse that he was thinking of getting for me - a Logitech cordless one. Officework was selling it at $49, $10 more than at MSY. Thus we drove down to MSY which is at Morningside. After getting the mouse, we decided to go to Westfields Garden City for lunch. Just before we reached Garden City, Sabrina fell asleep so we went off for lunch first and just when we were about done, she woke up and we got a KFC Popcorn Chicken snack box. Her eyes just brightened up when she saw me carrying the box back from the KFC counter with Sebastian.
Went off to Harvey Norman to look for Blu-ray player. Adrian had been looking for a Blu-ray player for a while. Anyway he had already bought 3 Blu-ray discs. I am just waiting for him to get a player and get straight onto playing all those shows. One if the staff at Harvey recommended him a Panasonic blu-ray that was going at $399 but he gave us a better offer of $380. Not a bad price but we thought we would still like to take a look around before deciding. We walked around and detoured to the computer section and saw that the Logitech mouse that we just purchased from MSY was going at $49. Just when we were about to leave, Adrian saw a Logitech Trackball which was selling at $79.95. He had earlier saw it at Dick Smith and it was going at $69. So he went up to one of the salesmen and asked him if that was the best price he could give him. He was very nice and quoted Adrian $70. Adrian then told him that he saw the same tracker at Dick Smith and it was going at $65. Without a second word, the salesman told Adrian that he would sell him at $65. I was just speechless. So in one day, we got ourselves 2 mouses....
Back home, had spaghetti for dinner, skped my parents and put the kids to bed. Had a discussion with Adrian, we might be driving down to Sydney for his convocation at the end of this month. We did our math and felt that it was very costly to travel by plane although domestic to Sydney. Air tics would set us back by $420, accomodation ard $500, car rental plus car seats ard $400, taxi fares to and fro airport ard $100. It would set us back by around $1.5k. If we drive there, petrol plus accomodation would not have cost so much. Think it's a better bet to drive down this 10 hours drive. Was thinking of driving down on Sat night so that it would be easier for the 2 kids to sleep through. He is talking to his friend, Lemmy who is staying in Sydney and see what he has to say. Till then
