IT show 2008
mad. mad. mad."people mountain, people sea"
went for the IT show on the last day. it was really really crazy. seriously, there was no need to walk at all. u get "pushed" along with the flow of humans. at the rate of "flow", there's simply sufficient time to have a look at everything, perfect.
luckily we arrived by car, so walking in from the side entrance was easier than crashing with those at the main entrance. got straight up to the 5th level. first stop to skip was acer, since it seemed so badly recommended (for don't know what reason.) then i saw the pink LG notebook. the freebies were captivating, but then it was not a good idea to decide on a particular notebook first.
so we moved on.
then next was sony's vaio. vaio's sexy. the outlook of the entire notebook was the best selling point. omg. but the weight was slightly heavier than what i had expected it to be. since weight and size were such important factors, vaio was out.
again we moved on.
toshiba and panasoic were next. it was hard to find a notebook which was light and small and slim. to have all these factors in a notebook, there's really a high price to pay. just like one that i saw : 3.7k. hahas. totally insane.
we moved on further.
fujitsu was daddy's no. 1 recommendation. after some thoughts, we realised that it was only logical to buy a fujitsu notebook from school. so fujitsu remained in the list, until i found a more suitable notebook at the fair.
then dan called to asked me where i was. -.- waited for him to appear at the creative booth. then decided to wait for him to appear while we walk around to see the last booth: lenovo.
lenovo was not bad. but those of the better specs are of a much higher price. so same theory applied. if i want to buy a lenovo, i'll buy from school then.
suddenly, through the corner of my eyes, "the ultimate student companion". that was the hp's tablet. then, dan appeared sometime after i got to this booth. he passed my my 2GB thumby in exchange, i gave him the money. hahas.
anw. the tablet was cool. the price was just right and the amd thing was what i've been looking for. called up victoria to check the compatibility and asked mummy and daddy if this was "the one" that i'm going to get. then it was all up to me. if i say "yes", bingo, i'll get that. i thought about it, weighing its factors again : small, light and slim. it wasn't really slim and light. but for this price, its weight was good enough. so, i bought it.
thought is was rather selfish of me to delay everyone's time just to get my tablet. i mean biao ge and msy can take it, but for gu ma, it wasn't really nice making her wait and squeeze through the crowd. then i don't know if i delayed ye ye's time, cos gu zhang was to fetch ye ye from chinatown and then pick us up at suntec.
anw. biao ge bought his 20" lcd for his pc. and we got 2 routers. (one for me and one for him) and also, shu shu's micro sd card reader. it was crazy. micro sd card 1GB was only selling at 9 bucks. wow. and its 2GB one was selling at 17 bucks.
mad. mad. mad.
after that we went home. the journey home was amazing. seriously packed at the back. mayb i should have volunteered to sit in the boot. or mayb i should have just tortured biao ge by sitting on the lap -.- hahas. i didn't do that, cos it was extrmely nice of him to "hunt for my tablet" and "carried the tablet around after the purchase". hehehs. thanks ar..
before i end, shall dedicate this post especially to gu ma and biao ge.
thanks for this wonderful journey.
.under-estimated.
