  about the pc....papa insist on going to sim lim square to buy a fax, printer, scanner & desktop. he wont listen to me about sim lim sq and my advise not to buy anything hastily. i led him to the 3rd floor and he turn in to see a apple shop, then we turn into another shop and he immediately saw the fax copier printer he wanted and also asked him about the dektop. i've already seen the desktop and didnt want it before i find hm again talking to the salesman. thats when everything go wrong. he asked the salesman to gi him a package and the salesman complied though everything is sold to him separaely. my father saw a display of flat screen and pc and insisted on 1. my papa has totally no knowledge of computers or their specs. because the pc do not have price tag down there. so the salesman quoted him 1.4k thats roughly when i blew up because that desktop a very basic model and he totally never considered the software and whichever crap is needed...he only felt its a good deal because the salesman is willing to throw in a set for skpe function. i asked about windows software & webcam and try to tell my father that the desktop needs the software much like his laptop. that papa went on to tell me off that his laptop is his and i shouldnt be trying to talk about his laptop. i gave up and left that shop and leave him to be chop carrot. anyway, he now left the office to inspect some cargo and insist i stay until the delivery of those stuffs today. I look at the delivery order and dispair.....it only state a 19" screen, a model of the comp w/o its specs, a webcam & a headset delivery....and of cos that printer, fax, scanner.

  I usually stop the caller dead in their tracks by telling them I'm unemployed

   

  sometimes to toy with them I tell them I'm flipping burgers at McDonalds

  Usually I do that too

  But I didn't this time coz they said there is no subscription fee for life :P

   

  Might as well just take it not like I use my credit card very often but addtional 3% discount from my Singtel bill sounds very appealing too

  btw,the office i am in is also a warehouse for a pasir ris hair salon. there is boxes of professional hair care products from bleaching powders, hair colours, shampoos & conditoner. i am looking at true industrial quantities. The ownner is a local distributors of those products. I think the brands are: Ka'fen, Goldcome, Va'one & Babyegg. The bottles looks like they can last 1 year for a normal household.

  bingo! I expect to squeeze some cash out of my own papa to get the anti virus and the softwares. words, powerpoint program stuffs are now sold separetly instead of bundled together. my papa obviously didnt realise that i haggled for the programs in his laptop 2 years ago and he thought it all came with the laptop last time.

  They've previlege card for Kinokuniya liao

  I think is twice a year there's 20% disc else it's e usual 10%

  But something which I dun understand in today's context, now pay COD no more incentive. use credit card those banks would charge commission I think it's 2% (Even for NETS it's 1.8% now) for every transaction
