I was flipping through the newspapers this morning when lo-and behold! A 2 page advertisement for apple products going at fantastic discounts! 30% off to starhub and DBS customers! I've been eyeing the iPod nano 2G for the longest time, and when i saw the ad i just couldnt help but succumb to temptation...
Dragged my mum down in the afternoon to the iOne Club 21 store at Orchard Cineleisure. The place was crowded like hundreds upon hundreds of ppl descending upon the store to get ipods. Very loud too what with Glenn Ong shouting on the microphone for contestants to come up on stage to win prizes and music blaring thru the speakers. Haha there were even DBS employees dressed as Santalinas (female vers. of Santa) giving out candy canes! And it's not even the christmas season yet..
Anyway I couldnt get my hands on the 30% discount, all those sold out already... Such a pity we couldnt have come in the morning. So in the end i had to settle for the public discount @ 20%... still quite good. And what a wait it was lolll almost one and a half hours. I asked my mum to queue while i buzzed around like a kid in a candy shop (pun intended) looking at accessories. Ever so often i'd take one, then cradle it for a while, then do cost-benefit analysis on it and decide it wasnt fancy/useful enough and then swap it for another... Oh man i so wanted a blue protective case but the stocks were all snapped up by kiasu people in the queue. Luckily in the end i spotted an abandoned one and pounced on it.
Quite happy in the end i got a blue 4gb nano and the blue protective case for a steal... Now i wont have to lug around my psp if i want to listen to music on the go liao!
