I NEED AN ALL IN ONE PRINTER

I seriously need one........HELP! Remember me saying in the last post that I wanna scan my scrabook page to show? Well, I just realized "no can do" because my scanner at the office is non-colour one. Ya lor, scanner also got no colour one leh.
Anyways, RH says that he will buy one at the next computer fair......WHEN IS IT? Wahhh, gotta go check now......
What happened this weekend? Oh yeah, got forced to attend a Futsing Association Meeting on their IT needs. IT???? I failed my programming class in college or at least I would had I not gotten my boyfriend to do all my assignments. Hehehe. So, I need to get Dad to stop forcing me to help out at FA (Futsing Association). Not that I do not wanna help but seriously, with my schedule, it is quite hard to comply especially when he LOVES to give me last minute notice on potential meetings. What else? Oh, I got sick. I broke out in rashes on Saturday........some allergy thing confirmed by the GP. Luckily, its almost all gone this morning. The itch was so terrible on Friday but just on the soles of my feet....hehehe.
Watched "Derailed" yesterday. The movie is not nice! Not nice at all. I hated Jennifer Aniston's rape scene and it turns out to be a hoax. Urgh, made me feel all pitying then urgh.... A
