Friday, August 01, 2003 :::
 

went to the book fair at HKCEC yesterday
didn't have much time
nor did I have any patience

I forced myself through the crowd
damn that was pathetic... I don't think we deserve this -
the pressure, the odour, the slowness that we HK ppl can't stand... -
in search for books with slight discounts
and we had to pay 20 bucks to get in

I bought 1 book only at the Pageone booth, getting a 20% off, meaning that I paid $20 to get in for getting a $18.1 discount... -_-"

OK, back to my story
I was at the 'Magazine' booth
I was looking for Scientific American
I asked the woman
"do u have scientific american"?
"what?"
"scientific american"
"what's that?"
"scien-ti-fic ame-ri-can"
woman asked senior guy what that was
senior guy: "oh yes, $788 a year" (that's $66 per copy)
"so expensive..."
"expensive? c'mon I'll give you a free gift... you can get a magazine for free!"

and I thought, the innocent me, thought that he would give me free 1 year subscription to any magazine...
I was quite interested in the Business traveller mag
but later found out what the guy meant was i could get ONE COPY for free only instead of free subcription
and things started to make sense to me

"i can give you the dictionary, for free"
"I already have 2 copies of that dictionary at home... i want to get rid of them"
"oh... how about the Forbes mag, you get a free PDA, you can take a look at 1..."
"no thanks"
"what model have u got?" guy was not very happy with me
"no i don't own a PDA, but i don't need 1"

after the offer of free dictionary, free PDA, free magazines, free rotate-table clock (how silly's that), i decided it was time to leave the booth
and at last I got a free NAME CARD from the saleswoman... -_-"

***
today I logged on to Scientific American's website, international subcription, 1 year, 12 issues, for only $55USD
that's $37 per copy

is that some 28 bucks cheaper for each copy?

***

i need some good music
looking forward to new albums by the Corrs and Mandy Moore and Ronan Keating

i need some good movie too
so in love with Reese Witherspoon
so in love with Legally Blonde
the OST Leann Rime's 'We Can' is a real compliment to the film!
