digital camera
Went down to Sim Lim Square to buy the Kyocera digiam. Kinda of need my own digicam to take pics with my colleagues before I leave the company. Choose to buy Kyocera cos it can be rotate 120 degree, which make recording movies and taking picture much easier. So far, in the marker, only Kyocera and Nikon have models with rotatable lens.
Thinks gals are at disadvantage when shopping at Sim Lim. Some sales staff will try to con you and quote you higher price, thinking you dunno abt the market rates. Luckily I did my "homework' before buying.
One counter staff from a shop really give me some attitude.(* shit, should had rememeber the name of the shop.) He quoted me $350(w/o GST)for the basic package. (If you compared to Best Denki which sells the camera at $399, you might think it's a good bargain) When I told him that I could get the same package with additional 256mb memory card at $345 at another shop, he just slouched at the counter, looked at elsewhere and said " That is below cost."
So cannot bargain lor. Fine! He thinks I am those "soft-soft" type. I simply put down the camera and walk away.
So went to the shop which gave the best rates. Purchased an addtional battery , and after adding GST, the total cost sounds like an unlucky number---$444.15. So bargain a bit to reduce to $440.
Think I got a better deal comparing to my sis, who bought the same camera at the PC Fair last year for $500. Just that she got an additional pouch. Well, if i want a pouch, I could get it for less than the $60 saved.
Bought a Converse sling bag for my brother since I had spend less then my budget of $500.
Hmm, see if I have the chance to play with my gadget tomorrow. :)
Tomorrow will be a hectic day, need to wake up early in the morning to go for pre-employment medical check-up. Then meet my colleagues for KTV (spend time with them before i leave the company), then go to attend Huang Lie Chuan ( a new local singer) concert at the Art House.
