This morning, I checked again with the supplier and the answer remained the same, no stock. However, my supplier did suggest an alternative which was Asus Eeepc.
So my friend's hope did not meet the impasse yet.
On comparison, prima facie, the Asus appeared to be a better buy as it came with 2G of memory despite the webcam was only 0.3M. It may be nice to have 1.3M webcam, but the streamyx service, something that is left much to be desired, may not be able to support the high resolution webcam.
Nevertheless, this crystallized the tipping point for my friend's decision to buy.
" Die Die must buy."
Of course, you could not deny there was some residue of vacillation in arriving at the decision.
They say, being female is about nothing more than dieting and shoe shopping, then being male is also about nothing more than eating and shopping.
So at noon, an elderly Chinese trio left Johor Bahru for Tmn Ungku Tun Aminah to witness the economic transaction which involved the exchange of moolah for computer.
You could see the aura of exhilaration that was emanating from my friend's visage after he became the proud owner of another adult toy.
If you observe the video, it is not easy to open a virgin box, so many hands are required.
Satisfying the desire to buy was only half of the story. The imminent need was to satisfy the gastronomic cache.
Ladies, take notice that the male homo sapiens is not that difficult to please. They could happily settle in this highly elevated temperature eatery. I could not say whether the converse was applicable to woman.
As you can see, this place was rather crowded and the cook was constantly preparing the food.
It took a while for the foods to arrive. Regardless of how, the wait was well rewarded with scrumptious fish ball "kueh teow" soup. We ate every morsel with gust.
A single bowl.
A single bowl - Not significant enough.For visual effect, three bowls.
The distribution of ingredients was rather even. Every bowl had 4 fish balls, one meat ball, slices of pork and fish cake. What else ?
Despite the high price of chilli, the owner allowed you to help yourself with any amount you like.
The price.One fish ball = RM0.40
Fish ball kueh teow soup - small - RM4.00
Big RM5.00
As a finale for our lunch, we opted for more food. The dim sum shop highlighted in my another post was not open, so we had to be satisfied with this coffee shop.
A heated bun. The skin was quite crispy. I loved it. The thick slab of butter could be seen quite clearly.
"Chay Kueh Teow". Is it a stodge?
The place where the char kueh teow was prepared. How do you like it ?
The facade of the shop.
The coffee was actually brewed nascently, but I hated to comment again. Next time, to be on the safer side, order tea.
I have a feeling that my friend is still mollycoddling the netbook.
