Serching a Financial Calculater


Mission Objective:

Locate and purchase a financial calculater, preferablly TI - BA II Plus as shown in the picture above.

Briefing
2006.2.17 - 14:15

"You'll need a financial calculator for the exam on Feb. 27th. You have a week to find it. I'm sure if you order it online tonight, you'll have plenty of time to play around with it before the exam."
Mission Start
Day 0
Err... it's friday night before a long reading break. It'll be a pretty funny joke if I do anything about it. After all, I'm not a geek.

Day 1
I checked www.futureshop.ca, found nothing, gave up right away.

Day 2
Sunday......... self-explainatory ..............

Day 3
Checked www.amazon.com, found it. But for some strange reason they don't ship the freaking calculator to Canada. Alright, I know we Canadians has lost the Hockey in Torino, but we are still pround. Stupid American websites don't have to embrass us like this. I was angry and stopped the search.

Day 4
I decided to give up ordering on internet and go to the nearest mall to find one. The end. (All I have achieved that day was made the decision.)

Day 5
AQ opens. Spend my whole day on WoW. Pretty exciting event, took lots screen shots and I'll probably post something about it later.

Day 6
Changed my mind and start looking on Internet again. Found nothing at www.amazon.ca. Found some people selling it on ebay, but ... there was no buyout prices and I really don't have the mood to bid on a calculator at that time.

Day 7
Gee... it's friday already. So I took a bus to Conestoga, looked around for 3 hours, had lunch, and found nothing. CAN'T FIND A SINGLE FINANCIAL CALCULATOR THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SHOPPING CENTER!!!!!! This is incredible. At the end, I curled up my tails and headed home like a defeated dog.

And just when I thought things couldn't get worse, I took the wrong bus and ended up in an industrial park where there's absolutely nothing but a huge snow-covered-field and a building.

Err... okay. Calm down, Jeffrey. I'm sure you'll be able to get home somehow.

Waited another 30 min. out of nowhere and finally an express bus came. Surprisingly, the next stop is U. Waterloo, just that it stops in front of MC instead of my residence.

Okay. At least I came back. Well... school seems pretty empty since it's on a reading break. I was in no hurry to get back home so I decided to take a look around.

Went to Bomber's computer shop and hope that they have the calculator. Again, no luck.

Played S3 with a girl and totally pwned her. This actually lightened up my mood a little. Although I can't even beat a pro with 20% of life left, at least I can still beat high school kids and other people with XX chromosome.

On my way home, I endup in South Campus Hall's Tech shop. At this point, I was pretty much gave up and went straight up to the counter and asked if they have any finincial calculator.

And.. O M G. I found it!!

Went thru everywhere and it's actually in a store that's closest to where I live.

Well...



Mission Complete!!

11 days haven't update my blog seems to be a record after I actually start writing something on this blog.

Well... it is not without a foreshadow. After all, writing diaries on a regular basis is not an easy job for most people.

After awhile, you found out that you're simply repeating yourself over and over again. And over and over again. :p

I guess it's a good time to have a little break.

In this cruel world, nothing lasts.

星期四...

最近要抱怨的事情還蠻多的.

滑鐵盧不夠冷. 阿慧又跑出國. 下星期好忙. 好像快要感冒. 都不下雪......

說起來, 今天應該也挺忙的. 除了星期四三個小時的課要上以外, 大概還要跑 7-11 一趟. 不知道誰寄包裹給我, 每次都要跑很遠才能領. ><

喔.. 新年過了.

新年快樂~~~

二月也差不多該決定一下我四五月要做什麼了... 考試要報名... 目前只有這件事情跟回台灣是確定的. 機票也差不多該去查一下.

好多事~~~ @@

原因不明. >< .
