No title too pissed for title

Here goes: Yesterday saw a hopeful me weaving through the crowds of suntec bubbling with excitement. About five thousand amplifiers ringing in my ear my ear actually bled i am not kidding. I was going for HP all the way until i saw this


Screen length wider than 13 inches because I am blind. Check.
1188 within my very low budget (i am paying not my dad!!). Check.
Pink. Miso sucker for pink. Check.
Webcam. Check.
Nice keyboard. White easily dirtied but i bought a protective film if it still gets dirty i don't know what i will do but HECK IT CHECK.

I WAS SOLD.

I went home and it was...... spoilt. Such things always happen to me, i am getting quite used to it. Well, life's like that. I called Digital Asia

Me: "I bought a laptop 2 hours ago. It is spoilt"
Servicer: "OH MY GOD..............................."

The omg servicer asked that i bring it to Funan for repair. Uh, i just bought it 2 hours ago. What a world. I was pissed off to ttm i lugged the Bimbotic laptop all the way to city hall (i don't have a car okay this is how poor i am please feed me sushi would be nice) and squeezed through about five thousand people and I asked that they give me a new set. I banged the table a few times to show how angry i am >:(

Manager: "Sorry but the pink laptops are currently out of stock so can i trouble you to make a trip here again tomorrow to collect it with your invoice?"

OH MY GOD. YOU KNOW WHAT. CASPER. ACTUALLY. YOU CAN'T. YOU CAN'T TROUBLE ME TO MAKE A TRIP HERE. BECAUSE I AM SO FREAKING POOR I DON'T OWN A CAR. I TRAVEL BY TRAIN. AND WALK BY FOOT ACROSS THE FIVE THOUSAND ESCALATORS AND TRAVELATORS AT DBG STATION AND ACROSS VERY CROWDED AND PSYCHOTIC CITYLINK. AND ON TOP OF IT. I LIVE IN SENGKANG EAST WAY.

Alternatively i could always buy another color like black or turq (looks at yoji) but then because i wanted the pink one badly enough...i decided that this casper guy could actually trouble me to visit the PC fair again TODAY.

So today after my project i took 518 to Suntec Convention Center and went up five thousand escalators before i reached the exhibition hall and i must have weaved through a million crimewatch people before i reached the fujitsu booth i don't even know why are those crimewatch people doing there.

By the time i reached the fujitsu section i was so pissed i told the Casper guy

"So like. Are you sure this new set's going to be okay? I am a new consumer of fujitsu and i must tell you that I am very, very disappointed in your product quality and service. I live at the other end of the island and i made like what, three trips here just to collect a laptop because apparently your QC checks were fail? and fyi i am actually expecting some form of compensation."

the
guy
laughed
it
off

i could have set a honey badger on him.....

He then proceeded told me a whole lot of crap about how he understand my frustrations as a consumer.

YOU KNOW WHAT. CASPER. ACTUALLY. I DIDN'T TELL YOU ALL THAT TO SQUEEZE SOME UNDERSTANDING FROM YOU. HOW MUCH IS UNDERSTANDING WORTH? I WAS ACTUALLY INDIRECTLY ASKING FOR FREEBIES. YOU KNOW. LIKE F R E E B I E S E.G THUMBDRIVE. BECAUSE I DESERVE IT.

and before i could add about how unprofessional the digitalasia servicer was (the one who responded OH MY GOD.......), this other guy asked me

"Around what time did you call digital asia yesterday?" I said 6.55pm and he was like

"Oh, i'm actually the one who answered the phone"

...

The two guys then took a very long time to set up my bimbotic laptop, after which they tried to offer me some mineral water and tried to make small talk with me thinking that it would appease me? They started to ask why i chose to study in TP when i live in Sengkang and stuff... i ignored most of the questions. Suddenly the manager started to talk about his girlfriend and tried to engage me in the conversation..........

Stop it already. Want to appease me? Give me free stuff. Because I am a sucker for freebies and i would so shamelessly admit that I am. Thumbdrive mouse micosoft software whatever just give me okay blackberry would be nice i know blackberry isn't under fujitsu or anything but i don't really care oh yeah a SAKAE sushi voucher would do just fine too.

Hi Julian a.k.a new reader of my nice blog. I am usually less cheapskate and usually more interesting than this. Til then, any comments regarding how ugly my laptop looks or how cheapskate am i or how fujitsu sucks will be deleted.
