♥ Samsung Z500
Last Sunday, while my dad, my grandmother and I went Orchard Road, we walked passed the Singtel building. So we decided to check out on the lastest mobile phone. One I stepped into the building, I automatically walked over to the Samsung section. Me, as a Samsung user, would gladly wished that Samsung had 3G phone. Like what Nokia has.
I didn't expect to see any 3G phone as it was too high-tech. However, to my surprise, I saw this Samsung Z500. It is black in colour, but looked cool. However, to price is not good. It is too expensive. About 6 to 7 hundred dollars!!
So today, after my usual supplementary lessons, I make trip to Heartland Mall to check on the price of Samsung Z500. Although the difference in not much, the phone in Heartland Mall is definitely cheaper.
At first, I went to the shop located at the third floor. I saw this phone and open my mouth to ask for the price. I was so shocked to hear that it was over $700! How can it possibly be more expensive than Orchard Rd?
Then I left the shop and went to the Starhub shop located at second floor. The lady was really busy, and so, I quietly stand at one corner. After serviving the customer, she turned to me and ask, "What is it that you need?!" Upon hearing this, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. I begin wondering, is it because I am a student, and had not brought along money with me to buy anything from the shop, and therefore the shop owner could scream her head off at me? How can anyone ever accept this impoliteness and " looking down on others?" However unhappy I am, I decided to put up with it. I ask for the price and the answer I get back was," It was out of stock! There is no price!" Another blast from her. And so, angrily, I left the shop, telling myself not to visit that shop agains.
Later, after lunch with daddy and mummy, I went to the shop outside Heartland Mall to ask for the price of Samsung Z500. To my surprise, it only cost $650. Well, though it is not very cheap, but at least, I know that Z500 can be cheaper.
Phew, I had a long day today, plus having late night sleep and early morning wake, I feel damn tired now. I guess I really need to take a nap. But I promise to wait for Z500's price to drop, maybe around Christmas, and I'll start saving money.
