Well, wonder if i kept u guys in suspense long enough.. lol =)

As you guys noe, i was eyeing both creative zen neeon and creative nano plus and was in a serious dilema in which to choose. Well, juz to let u guys noe.. i got my mp3 player at the most unlikely place. Not sim lim, not some electronics departmental store... but at the Local Brands Village during the Carnival@Marina! How shocking is that? haha.

The story goes..

On the 4th day of the carnival, Me, my dys4 and my OC HQ were making our rounds around the carnival to check on 3 things,

1. Check whether toilets are clean (me and my OC actually cleaned 2 of the mobile toilets! and guess wad we saw in one of them =) )
2. Check if the waste was properly disposed off and whether the waste company come often wif the dump truck to transport waste out of marina.
3. Distribute Flyers (i noe we r not the ones in charge of this.. but wif 750k more copies of the carnival guide, we had to resort to this)

so during one of our tours around marina (in a buggy of cos), we chanced upon a stall selling thumb drives and mp3 players. At first, i didnt wan to even patronise the stall cos at that pt, i tot that these kind of stalls sell things sure very ex. But when i found out that my OC bought a 1GB thumb drive for $79 bucks! (mind u, outside, its hard to find a 1GB thumb under $100) i went to try my luck and see wad mp3 players they had on sale.

this is wad they had for sale,

1. Ipod (too common)
2. Samsung XP-IA (quite small)
3. Creative Zen Neeon
4. Creative Nano Plus

Though the varieties were few, the 2 creative mp3 players that i wanted to choose from were available for sale (God's way of making fun of me haha) Still, it didnt help after the girl attending to the stall told mi the pros and cons of both creative mp3 players. I was like telling myself.. "ok girl, i haf done my research and noe the pros and cons already, how abt tell mi the price" haha. of cos, tell her that will hurt her so i pretended to be interested and listen to her. haha. Side note: She is from Singapore Poly in her final yr doing her attachment phase. (dun ask mi how i noe haha)

The price that she sold was $309 for the creative zen neeon, at this pt. my mind was set on the creative neeon. but price was the major factor on why i didnt buy at the spot. I told her that i did my research and sim lim quoted the best price of $275. Tried bargaining abit (for abt 30mins actually, my OC, who was standing beside mi, stood there and watch show - Royston Vs the Girl from SP) hai~ she refuses to gimme $265, which was quite a steal haha.. finally.. i gave in as i haf a soft spot for girls (=X) (juz wonder why she kept saying her boss is going to kill her) haha

so, the truth is out, the Creative Zen Neeon is right in my hands now, though i didnt get it at $265, i tot that at $275, it was already really cheap. haha!

A few things i found out abt my OC during this incident:
1. He buys things at any price (like it, buy it at the spot)
2. He changes handphones everyday (okok.. i exaggerated.. once every... 2weeks?) lol
3. He has a $300 Gucci Wallet (*stunned)
4. He claims he is poor (yar right)
5. He has a Nokia 8800 which cost him $1.4k (i bet he didnt check for the cheapest price!) lol

but unfortunately, he is attached haha. so.. in the mean time, other girls out there haf no chance. haha! =X
