This and that ...

T'was an interesting weekend. On Saturday morning, when I went to Fry's to buy a new alarm clock, I saw Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard (before the scandal), giving a free talk. She also stayed to sign her new book: Tough Choices. I was there, in perfect timing for the signing line-up and the talk. Didn't go for the book though: couldn't spare $18.


Saturday night was really fun at Golfland USA. It's a mini-golf place plus arcade right next to my place. We spent almost 3 hours there from 9PM and on. The holes were surprisingly tough, but really fun; like the Candystand golf. Definitely worth going back again.

On Sunday, we went to the Mazda Zoom Zoom Live testdrive event at the Oakland Alameda field. Good thing it was 18 over requirement, unlike the Taste of Lexus. It was really packed, so many people showed up. There were only 4 courses, so the wait-time was killer. The cars that I got to drive were: Mazda 6, Miata, RX-8, & CX-7. It was fun to drive them on the closed courses without a single care for the car. The cars themselves were pretty good, but nothing amazing. Same with the event; I was kinda disappointed by the overall organization: too much standing in line and too little sitting behind the wheel. Still though, I liked the sweet feeling of driving new cars.
