pre-exam pressies

YEAY!!!

Yesterday i went to PC FAIR and got myself a thing that i long ago wanted.

(MIND YOU, yesterday PC Fair things like no need money...LIke the whole KL-ians went there~ FU*cking stuffy and hot...Me and Kelvin straight away no mood to buy things seeing people mountain people sea...Seriously don't understand why, things there aren't very cheap at all. You can get the same price or maybe cheaper from Lowyat, most important thing, you don't have to let people bang and bang)

Kelvin says, by the time he reach home at night, his shoulder will be both blue black...

He bought a Samsung 19" LCD for 665, Logitech gamer's keyboard and mouse RM 100, Earphone + Mic RM 25, Sonic Gear Woofer RM 209,and LG DVD burner i forgot how much.

(Altec Lansing woofer is super nice, with that kind of surround system, no need go clubbing already~~ HAHAHA But price also very nice larr, maybe i'll want it :P)

I bought a T100 and a 4in 1, wireless+modem+router+Adapter (RM 183)

A RED T100



I bought it in a very expensive price though. Kinda heartache, but still I am happy...hehehee



I was traumatizing at the begining. A camera shop booth earlier offered me RM1580, camera and 2GB memory card. When i told him i will consider and come back later, I was so happy already~~~

Later when i asked a Sony centre booth, he gave me a shocking expensive price(i forgot how much already). Then, when i told him people gave me 1580, with 2GB, he insist its impossible. THe worker there told me, the memory card fake one. WHen i asked him how to know its fake wan, the boss came in to the conversation. He asked for the price i offered, then point his finger at me, " I TELL YOU ARR...now alot of fake memory card...With that price, impossible is original one, we are the dealer, we know!" (KEEP POINTING THE FINGER AT ME)

By the time, i swear i won't buy from them. Expensive somemore so arrogant. Its FU*Cking irritating for to treat consumer that way. SUPER no manners...

I asked him (JUST TO GET HECK INFORMATION! everytime he points his finger at me, i feel like giving him a slap)

"so whats the different with original and pirated one?"

"HMMMPPP!! Pirated one, u go vacation, when u come back, your pictures all gone!"

"How to know whether its pirated or original? Who knows yours could be pirated one also~ @@"

"I am Sony dealer, won't sell pirated want"

"How i know? How to differentiate?"

"You see ar..., like this like this then original one. You see, the memory card there got red red colour, then is pirated wan. THey can make until so real."

The worker then trying to say something but the boss don't let him.

I purposely say a loud loud thank you to chase that boss away. And finally when he walk further, i asked the worker, "what you wanted to say just now about how to recognize the pirated one and fake one?"

THen he mention the sticker, but the boss come again~~ I was super annoyed then, and walked away.

For the time, i was super traumatize...i went again to the booth that offered me 1580 and request to see the memory card. He showed me, and really got red red thingy and somehow, i donno whether its illusion problem, the card looks fake.

LAGI CONFUSED @@

I call bryan to asked for his opinion, coz he just bought a camera not long ago, he said buy from dealer better.

We went for dinner then.

I was pestering Kelvin and VIvien. Both them said they won't care whether its reliable, coz that booth is a camera shop itself. Like handphones, you normally won't get original hp also. AP set, people also like this use. AS long as its cheap.

Then, 8pm, when we decided to buy everything that we wanted...

Becoz we passed by the 1580 booth first, so i decided to get that one. When i asked how much is T100, he said RM 1599, 1 GB. Earlier was 1499, 1GB, cost i upgrade the memory card to 2GB, thats why it became 1580.

Vivien was like "HUH???????? just now you told us 1499 lerr"

"Now price increase already" ( By the time its 9.15pm)

"How come can increase wan??"

"ohh, we have target to reach for the fair, now that we already reach the target, so price increase lor...anyway we left 1 in our booth, you want or don't want? who ask you go do so much of survey, we give you barutiful price, its deal or not deal right away."

KNS SUPER ARROGANT THESE PEOPLE

Vivien was pissed off already. THEy are depending on consumer's money to earn a living and yet they talk this way~~

I asked, " what colour is the ONLY ONE you left"

"black"

"fine, i don't want!"

@@

THen i went to the other dealer(so many dealer inside the fair), telling myself its more reliable buying from a dealer~~ Coz people said, things from this kind of shop, could be 'water product'. Means even the camera itself may be fake wan. Vivien said, you won't know whether they've drop the camera or its an old camera~~I donno whether its true though!

THe dealer offered me 1699, 1GB. THen when i asked for upgrading memory, she said i'll have to top up another RM 130.

I open mouth big big and gave her a shocking look. THe other guy saw my reaction, and asked the girl, how much you gave her?

THen he said, "okay, let me count, last price, you walk away, then no more..ok? you top up 50, i give you 2GB, leather casing, screen protector, tripod..bla bla"

We stand there and counted for a while, and decided thats the cheapest price for now. Since the last arrogant booth that sell the cheapest price when we did the survey just now, now gave us 1599 for 1GB.(already 9 plus)

Conclusion, never asked price from a girl if you are a girl yourself...

Later when i got home, feeling more and more heartache, i saw the memory card that i saw from the booth that offered me 1580 from the booklet inside my camera box...

Its the 1st with red colour for the base of the wording 'memory stick pro duo'...


So, I've paid extra of 170, more than enough to buy a screen protector and nicer casing...

Although its heart aching, I still keep telling myself,

ITS FROM DEALER!!1

PHEW~

CONCLUSION, next time when you wanna get luxuries product like this, don't be too aunty. When somebody offered you a reasonable cheap price, don't consider so much. Buy handsomely like rich people. DOn't do so much of survey because its tiring, in the end you get expensive stuff, and worse, you found out that you just bought an expensive stuff!!

SAY, "WRAP IT UP. Thank you"

Remember to get a spare battery! The battery quality is good, but they have to be small in such a compact camera, and the very large display uses a lot of power. No use having a 2GB card if the battery goes flat!!!

The best thing when buying something like a camera is to do some research first — if you know more than the salesperson, that gives you the ‘upper hand’. Getting them to throw in free accessories is better than concentrating on getting the lowest price.

I think you did OK though, and got the red one you wanted.
