First and foremost....
I HAVE A NEW DIGITAL CAMERA!! THANKS FMA!!
YES, U read correctly.. I had been pampered by FMA for buying a brand new digital camera to replace my spoilt Sony DSC500 Cybershot 3x zoom, 6 megapixel camera with 2.1 inch LCD screen. *Big Grin* Why do I say FMA pampered me? I shld be pampering myself, rite? Well.. read on . . . .
FYI... The brand new digital camera cost CHEAPER than my Sony digital camera and lighter too! I slapped myself for being so 'stupid' that time when buying Sony digital camera without any bargaining and heehee.. didnt ask for the warranty card.. Cost was $349 and I was only given 512 MB SD card. Furthermore, I have to use normal battery. Thats why spoilt! My sis la! So lazy to take out the battery from the compartment!
This new digital camera actually cost $318. Because FMA (remember her? My hearing-impaired friend and colleague - coz I brought her to work at ECSF) is a regular customer at one particular shop (not the one which has been blacklisted - it was in the papers some time ago) at Sim Lim Sq, I got a special price of $288 WITH 2 FREE 4GB SD card!
Mana ada kedai give two 4GB SD card! Gila oi.. What a great offer! All because FMA brought me to the shop! Heehe.. Plus, FMA using SL (sign language) to the shop owner bargain the price even further! The cost w/o GST is $285!
$285 for a 8.2 Megapixel, 3x zoom, lithium rechargable battery, 2.5 inch LCD screen that comes with 2 GB, anti-shake and anti-red eye features, on top of that I got 2 FREE 4GB SD card! What a bargain, dont u think so?!
Of coz with 7% GST, the cost is not $285 BUT $304.95. Actually, it is over my budget. Yes, I remember that I did rant before that I dont think I have enuff $$ to get a new one before the trip and the only option is to borrow. Please remember: No one will dare to borrow expensive thigns to anyone. I am the stupid one! I borrow my $349 digital camera to my sis and she kept using and using and boom! Spoilt!
So since it was over my budget, how come I still purchase it? Sighz.. I felt guilty.. I vowed not to let it happen again. FMA paid for me... YES, U read it right... She paid for me! She told me that the offer is a great bargain and I will lose the chance of a great offer if I wish to purchase it later so, she paid for me first.. I told her that I will repay her in instalments and she is ok with instalments of 4 starting this coming 27th of June (PAY DAY!!) and will end 27th October (AFTER RAYA).
What is the new model I purchase? I mean FMA purchase for me.. *and I will pay her of coz*
Give u clues.. The colour is not the boring silver colour but a bit of red and a bit of pink and it is slim unlike my Sony very bulky. It comes with lithium battery with a charger and it comes with a warranty card.. (of coz! duhz!) The model starts with the letter, "S" but it is not Sony.. :)
I didnt tell my mum FMA paid for me.. she will definitely make noise. I will just tell her that I paid installments and of coz she will be very surprised because only Courts Megastore offer instalment payments. Hahaah.. I am not lying.. I am somehow still say the truth.. I will be paying FMA in installments so is the same to say to my mum that I am paying my camera in installments.. *grin*
My mum, she's OK but my grandma.. U know lah she kept reminding me not to waste $$ on this and that.. Sighz.. C'mon la.. We still need to pamper ourselves, dont u agree? Takpe lah.. org tua.. memang like that.. Just ignore and dont offend her. I know why she's like that.. She has been like that ever since my late grandfather passed away.. I understand.. she only wants the best for me and she is afraid if I pamper myself too much with buying this and that, I may not have enuff $$ for myself. I understand, nenek..dont worry..
What I learnt? Never go buy digital camera ALONE.. Must always have a companion so u can get free stuffs (only if u are buying at Sim Lim Sq! LoL!) and always ask for a warranty card! When I bought my Sony.. I didnt go to Sim Lim Sq.. I went to a shop at Clementi which sells the same thing as what the shop at Sim Lim sells and when I ask for a warranty card, they told me.. "no need u can use ur receipt.".
=.=
Last but not least...
Anugerah band >> WHAT? VIRUS CINTA IN WILDCARD?! I think the judges are worse than my hearing-impaired colleagues.. haha... their sound pun rosak.. VIRUS CINTA?! It shld be either Edmushyta (not because they are my sis' friends) or Silk Sultra.. *stupid*
