Today,
- I went church. FINALLY! It felt goooood.. =D
- I ordered kueh tiao for breakfast but i got noodles, and didn't realise until like a few hours later when my mom was talking about some kueh tiao news in the papers. lol.
- Had a family lunch thing at my grandma's house. Ate home-cooked laksa. =P
- Went PC fair and met this totally bitchy sales guy. Yes, GUY!
Ok, this was what led to the meeting of the bitch. haha.
Today's last day of the ICT Expo thingy, and my bro and I decided to go over and get ourselves a 4GB pendrive. We went yesterday, it was RM24. Since today's the last day, we all assumed that they would sort of 'lelong' their things and lower the prices. We were wrong. All the prices increased instead! WTC (what the crap), right??
So here's the scene with the bitchy guy.
Guy: Miss, can I help you? *holding a bunch of Kingston pendrives - exactly what we were looking for*
Me: Er..how much is the 4GB thumbdrive?
Guy: RM28
Me: Huh?? I thought yesterday was RM24.
Guy: Well, that was yesterday.
Me: -.-" But it's the last day! Prices should go down instead.
Guy: Yeah..that's what you thought. That's what the customers think.
Me: Okayyy...then I THINK I DO NOT WANT TO BUY THE THUMBDRIVE TODAY. -.-"
Guy: Okay then.
Seriously, if you were there, you would've punched the guy right in the nose! So annoying! Doesn't he know that customers are always right??? Oh, did I mentioned that he was sort of attempting to speak in an accent? -.-"
Here's another conversation during ICT Expo with Jason Yeo Kok Seng.
Me: How much your booth selling Kingston 4GB?
Jason: RM28
Me: How come today last day everything naik harga?
Jason: Because today last day a lot of people so prices also increase.
Me: Where got such thing?! -.-"
Yeah..where got such thing??!!

Well, it does make sense. Since a lot of people are willing to buy it, they would also be more willing to pay a slightly higher price for it just to have it. This is based on the theory of elasticities of demand. Maybe on the last day, the demand for thumbdrives increased dramatically and they (the sellers) took the opportunity to make a little more money out of it by raising the price by a few ringgit.
Tada! So, "Neh! Got such thing ba!" XD
I dunno whther demand for thumbdrives were high or not. but it stil doesn't make sense! Whole point of PC fair is to get things at lower prices. Just cuz there're more ppl isn't a good enough reason to increase the prices. i might as well go malls to buy instead of squeezing with a few hundreds of ppl juz to get smth for the same price. -.-"
hahahaa... :P
why didnt link my name instead? lols...so didnt get the pendrive huh? i shud ask mom to buy the pendrive on the 2nd day also...in the end, since not so need the pendrive, no need to buy lah..lols..
