Updates...

Went to Funan IT Mall with Kang Wei on thursday to check out some laptop. Wah lao, so big! Than got soooo many stores. But after a while, the brands and models are more or less the same and the focus shift to which shop sells the same model at a cheaper price.

Prior to the trip, we were told that we should avoid Acer and buy Toshiba or Fujitsu but the reason behind it was not clear. However, after finding out more about the performances of various laptops from different shop owners, brand really don't matter. What is more important is that it has what you want and within your budget. For example, Kang Wei want his laptop to be able to perform what his school work require and also able to support his gaming purpose. We managed to find some models which has what he need and also able to let him play games without any hiccups. Surprisingly, all the models he set his eyes on come from Acer. What stop him from buying however is the upgrades that come with the purchases. Cause we came across two shops and they both recommend the same model that suits Kang Wei. However, one of them sell at a slightly higher price yet the upgrades is attractive and FREE. The other one sell at a slightly lower price but the same upgrades is not free. Oh well, the final decision lies with him. After all, he is the one using for three years. Haha.

Talking about Funan, it changed, a lot. I remember in the past it is a bit dead and kind of dark because of the shadows created by the escalators. Now, it is more lively and more shops emerged, although i wonder why they are there cause they don't sell computers. Hmmm...

But in any case, it is still one place to shop for computers. Although the prices are a bit higher than Sim Lim Square, you get quality goods. After hearing so many not-so-good rumours about Sim Lim, i prefer Funan to Sim Lim anytime.

Oh, i have officially end my salesman job. Although i didn't earn much, the experiences and the things i learned are more important. Credits goes to my collegues too as they make my job more enjoyable. Thanks guys. Hope our paths will cross again next time. =)
