A Chair And A Bag That Cost Me RM220
One afternoon, my phone was ringing and the phone was behind me / on my bed. I pushed my chair backwards like I always did, but this time, a sound was heard.
“Piakkkkkk…!” The plastic chair broke, but I didn’t fall.
“Craps. Again.”
I went to the furniture shop to get myself a new chair.
“How much is that plastic chair?”
“That plastic one? RM25, but then, I dare not sell to you even if you want to buy. These plastic chair not reliable one.”
“……”
“Take this one lah, metal chair with arm rest. RM75.”
“Fine. I will take one.”
Now, don’t rub it in again and again and again. -sniff sniff-
RM75 gone.
I have been looking for a bag to replace my current Panasonic’s e-cam bag. The bag is getting very dirty, after following me to every ocassion for more than 2 months. The strings are getting loose and edges are tearing apart.
I asked a few friends to check out for me, but none gave me a reply. Hence, while I was walking at Mahkota after my exam, I paid Fotokem a visit. The worker offered me the same Panasonic’s e-cam bag for RM35; but why would I buy the same bag again, right?
I told him I wanted a bag, which is big enough to store my digital camera, battery charger, an external flash (I have yet to buy.), notepads, stationary and card reader.
“Try this one. This one is for SLRs, with raincoat lagi.”
“No smaller one?”
“Got, but not big enough to store your external flash. Unless you want to try your luck at KL.”
“Craps. How much?”
“RM145.”
The raincoat and in raincoat mode.
The bag.
Just 2 weeks, I spent RM220. -sighs-
