[Bargaining]

I am incalculated the "value" of bargaining by my mum since I was young. When I was a child shopping wif my mum from markets to shopping centres, I would see my mum bargaining. Sometimes it could be quite agressive bargaining and I would feel embarassed. At times, I would wonder in awe how in the world cld my mum make a pair of shoes selling at $40 to become $20+. Somehow I understand cos when i was in pri school, my family was not too well-off. So my mum tried to save as much money as she could.

So now whenever I buy stuff, I would be like my mum. To bargain as much as I could but often less aggressive thus maybe not as sucessful. haha..I got a friend who dislikes bargaining. To me people who dun like to bargain are affluent people. To me a poor person, bargaining makes me feel I am spending every worth of my money. Yes me a poor man.

Ever since I got my PowerMac, I have thought of saving up $1.8K to purchase a matching high end 20" Apple Cinema Display. It is until recently I gave up this idea. Yes the Apple Cinema Display is one of the best out there but $1.8k is simply too much. After all, it is stil a display with USB and Firewire hubs. Thus ever since the IT Show which began last Thurs, I thought of getting myself a good deal during this event. I guess I was wrong.

Going to Suntec this afternoon was quite a mistake. The place was phuqing full of people. There were some sections where the flow of peope was like a severely clogged artery. Movement was restricted to minor steps, as if u are wearing a kimono. Becos school holidays has started, families who wanted to get a good deal or those who enjoyed crowds and being rubbed against sweaty sticky skin to sweaty sticky skin or those fathers who wanted to get some good deals all gathered in Suntec. I reckon there were easily 100k people today.

The worst thing was I could find the Viewsonic booth! And I could not get the silver Samsung 710T silver! Even if I buy, I was not allowed to test the lcd on the spot! Too bad for the $45 off retail price in SimLim. Big hairy deal, pie and me went to simlim to purchase my lcd. I regretted bringing pie wif me to simlim and suntec. I didn't know most gals do not like jostling with the crowd to buy computer products until my senior told me.

Oke so I pissed pie off and later my mum when I lost my temper after hearing her nag upon the news of me buying a lcd.

Sometimes I do not understand myself on why my temper can get so bad. When I am pissed, I obviously do not care whoever the person is. I do not enjoy losing my temper to my mum or to anyone else. Losing my temper often give me headaches later. Stress also give me headaches.

There are times when I really detest myself.

Mayb I need anger management classes.
