shopping after boxing day

I am not a very good? competent?? capable??.. shopper.???
Yea... it always takes me so long to decide whether to buy a product/commodity/goods/item.. (usually the more expensive the longer it takes).. Finally, I make up my mind to buy it... only to find that.. there's only one in store and it's just got purchased by another person..  That's what happened yesterday when I was in a board game store.  I saw a board game I kinda like..  but I still wanted to take a look at the other ones (maybe there's something more interesting?..) After looking at all the other ones, I knew I wanted just that one. .. but too late.

and.. I am looking for a new laptop as well.  I need it to be my work buddy and need set up my work station... so yesterday I went to the electronic shops to check out the notebooks.  I found one I like. (ASUS, i7 cpu, 6 GB RAM, 750 GB disk space...) It's on sale which seems a pretty good deal.. (though the price tag didn't show its original price..) I couldn't make up my mind when I was at the store... I left and went to other places and finally made up my mind that I wanted that laptop. I went back.. and the shop was closed. It's closed early yesterday because it's New Year's Eve..  I went there again today.. and it's sold out. I asked the sales if they would get any more in anytime soon. He told me.. they would be getting more in on Monday night (tomorrow night.. ) but the sale would end tomorrow as well.. I was a bit curious to know about its original price. I asked. He told me the regular price of that laptop is a thousand something.. I was like .. "oh no.." (the price on sale was $599.) It's such a pity!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think ... I do have a pretty good 眼光。 (有眼光).. so I should be happy about that? hahaha..  Well... I don't really need the board game.. I do need a new laptop.  So I will keep searching. Now I have a better idea for what-could-be-gems out there and take immediate action. =p


Happy New Year to you all!

  1. I had the same experience. I was deciding whether to buy it or not(sometimes just to shop around for better price), and after a while it's gone. For something you really want or need, do get it quick...
