iPad Hype

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
