ICT Fair at OneTJ

Went to ICT Fair at OneTJ around noon time just now. The fair started on 29 July - 2 Aug, I think.. cause I just glanced through the newspaper this morning(didn't really paid much attention to details). Anyway, the duration of the fair is... somewhat weird. A normal PC fair ususally takes 3 days, no more no less. At least that's the way it is here. So, why advertise in the paper on the third day and not the first? Or before?

I found out later on how empty OneTJ is, even with an ongoing so called ICT Fair. As usual, they throw in some cheap stuffs - memory card reader at RM1.90 and A4 Tech mouse at RM9.90. So hurry up before it runs out! The rest are just the usual stuffs, LCD monitors, speakers and whatnots. The card reader is restricted to 1 perchase per customer and is only available to the first 100 buyers. Latecomers will get the usual price, I think they are set at RM9.90. Anyway, I bought 2 of them for my sisters, and yeah, you guessed it right, the mouse is for my sis as well. I found her mini-mouse's wheel somewhat not functioning properly. But being the poor chap I am, I can only afford a 9.90 mouse for her. T_T

Actually, I was worried that we won't be able to buy those card readers. They were sold out like hot cakes during the previous PC fair and since I reckoned today is the 3rd day of the ICT Fair, chances of me getting them is slim. But hell, instead of 1, I got 2. Unbelievable.

Since they are so cheap, I just grab them without even looking much. Upon closer scrutiny at home though, I found that the card readers are of Tecom brand. My heart sank cuz I DO NOT believe in Tecom brands. They suck and they break like within days of using them.

I ever used a mouse and keyboard of Tecom made - supplied by the silly management who entrusted the job of purchasing to a bunch of sly foxes who cheats at every chances that they got - the mouse went bonkers within 3 days of usage and the keyboard only lasted 5 days.

Having said all that, I hope the damn cheap card reader will survive longer than its worth of money. Sheesh!
