met him at Broadway, Mongkok
it was raining the whole day
*
no choice
but to browse those shops
electronic store is a good choice
there were 4 iPad there
for hands-on trial
*
discussed with my dad
and his answer was a YES
were about to approach the salesperson
oh, so?
there is no stock
they don't even know when
is the new stock arriving
*
left Broadway, kinda disappointment
well ups and downs of life
you will never know
20 mins ago,
i won’t even know that i will meet an iPad
now filled with despair due to him
*
across the road
small little corner shop
you know those with only
a transparent display cabinet
surrounding the vendor
we call this a black shop
*
it was written
"Ipad with ready-stock"
but the prices are 500 HKD
from the SRP on Mac catalogue
*
so hold on
don't lose control
this is obviously a black shop
and you don't know what they are offering
just walk around
checked out other stores
or similar black shops first
*
sms-ed back to Msia
asking Carly to check the price back there
and maybe i can get it at Sg too
just don't rush into a decision
and maybe i can just get a HP mini
cheap, reliable
and down-to-earth
*
went round Mongkok
saw the big ad at Hollywood Plaza
by Fortress
*
got to squeeze into the crowd
thou shall not be excited
no stock too
*
so the search ended here
no stock all over the place
it is just fate
*
Sunday back here
heard the PC Fair may be showcasing iPad
so excited that psychoed a friend to go with
greater disappointment still
it's typical night-market trades
touting mouses, thumb-drives etc
nothing tech-savvy, nothing new
*
and the crowd?
they were most probably looking for deals
HDD, printers and similars petty stuffs
and definitely not iPad
there is no even iPod
just some imitations
i will never come to PC Fair at Melaka ever again
*
but it is good
because during the week
i got to research about iPad
and decide what's best for me
*
there are many alternate choices actually
as mentioned, HP Mini
and HP Slate which will be launched soon
they better do
*
by then
i can compare and contrast
and for sure the price of Ipad
will go down too
*two roads diverged in the woods
i wish i can travel both
GF1 or iPad
ya GF1 another wild thought
i got at Mongkok
*
the rain was seriously
disturbing my clear mind
luckily it made no serious harm
*N was suggesting
don't buy both
save the money for travelling
he is so damn right
this is the first time he is, :P
*what's so great about iPad
it is just vanity, isn't it
the desire to own an Apple
the desire for admiration
the desire for a magical touch
Apple is truly poisonous
*
