RM 500 laptop
there was this campaign in tsutaya this week,where 50% discount on all non-latest DVD and CD rentals so i went to my nearest tsutaya this morning.i was thinking of some non-japanese music CDs but i wasn't sure which CD i want to rent so i have to go thru all the "katagana" order to find any CD that I like.Finally i ended up myself at the counter with 2 CDs,the cranberries best album and Avril Lavigne Let Go plus 3 yaiko's and 2 Sheena Ringgo's live DVDs.they should cost about 3000 yen but after discount,it was just 1500 yen....next stop,Akiba.
15 mins later i arrived a Akiba,did the routine check on the latest imported PC games in Asobicity and then got myself a wireless Microsoft keyboard and mouse for my mac(...unlikely combi)...by the way,the new G5 IMAC is still not in Akiba yet,according to the friendly Apple Shop people,the new G5 IMAC will be in stores in Japan next week...emmm...my 5th Mac...still dunno.
when i was returning to my bike and about to head home,i saw this guy with this familiar face...a m'sian face....nak tegur or tak nak...malas ler...tapi tak baik ler kalau tak tegur....so i pun tegur "assalamualaikum,abg or mesia ker?".then that guy replied "waalaikumsalam,org mesia jugak ker?"....then bla,bla,bla....that m'sian guy with few more others came to japan for some "look east"(i thought it was long gone) training sponsored by JPA.according to that guy,his friends are looking for the rumoured RM500 laptop...actually i have heard this same rumour that in Akiba the PCs are so cheap that people lelong the PCs like pisang.from my 7 experience in Akiba,the only RM500 laptops they could find are the 7-8 years back dunno how many "hand" junk laptops.
so i told them the truth about the RM500 laptops and i showed to them cheap places to shop.we also exchanged numbers and business cards....anyway,it was nice to meet and help m'sian who are here....
i arrived home,installed my brand new wireless keyboard and mouse(now all mice are "tailess")...then tido.
wires...
