Was planning to rot at home again on Sunday. I complained to 欠扁脸 that my computer is acting wierd lately. I restarted 4 times to get it start working. 欠扁脸 suddenly said he wanna buy external portable hard disk so that he can store his games and can help me backup my oh-so precious songs and photos. I remembered the PC fair was still going on and it happened to be the last day. Though 欠扁脸 protested and said he could buy at Challenger at $99 for an ismart hard disk, I was blinded by my aunty instinct that I could bargain for a much cheaper price and get more freebies. So, unlike my otaku behaviour, I went to the PC fair at Suntec with qian bian lian.

Scared me. The crowd was so overwhelming. I was so worried that the escalator may be over loading and break down. We squeezed through the crowd, braved the offer shoutings and fought our way to the highest floor. Browsed through many many stalls, in the end found one stall that sold the cheapest which is $89. =_=!!! We came all the way here to look for cheap cheap ones. In the end, it only differed $10 which is easily evened out by our transport fees. So I decided to make use of what I remembered of friend friend, Mr Lim's purchasing tactics.

Tactic 1:
Collect lots of brochures and make a list of AVL (approved vendors' list) which we did. And selected the few which we thought are good.
Tactic 2:
Arrive there only when the fair is closing soon. The vendors will be eagered to get rid of their products and will be making their last minutes price rearrangement. Afterall, PC fair stuff are going to be obsolete if they didnt sell out soon. And so, blinded by my confidence, we went to eat and went back at 7pm.

The result:
FAILED!!!

Explain why.
1. The vendors are making price arrangement for bigger products like PC, laptop and cameras. Nobody bothered about portable hard disk. Some of them even gave portable hard disk as freebies if the big items are sold.
2. We were afraid the hard disk will sold out if we went any later.

In the end, we bought 1 blue and black ismart portable hard disk. 1 of them was bought on behalf of 欠扁脸 's friend. Only one freebie of pouch. =( Anyway, saw Aaron and Zoe's cousin, Eugene at the fair. Bought the disk from him. He couldnt recognised us but we confronted him.

Moral of the story:
Bigger buyers really have bigger say. BUT I WUN GIVE UP! I WILL BE BACK! muahahahaha...
