paid more for betta quality?

here it is. my new webcam.
which is much betta than the one i got for free when i bought my lappie.
(for a free stuff to last for more than a year or less than a year. i couldn't care less to complain, could i? i count myself fortunate enough. after all, freebies never last, don't they?)


the reason i patched up the price tag was because i'm afraid that any of you will be kind enough to tell me a cheaper price compared to the price on the price tag and cause me to feel kektiok.
so it would be very kind of you to shuddup (thankyouverymuch) if u happened to know where to get a cheaper one (for this model) or, telling me it's not worth the money to get this model as there are tonnes of webcam with 1.3mp and with better features which i can get below rm50 or below (like the aloha brand which i wanted to get at the first place, but decided not later when i found out i like this one more) ; cheaper as in compared to the amount i paid for it (and no, i'm not gonna leak a word on how much i bought this one).
heard all the prices for the gadgets got jacked up on the last day (pc fair) this year. it was obviously out of the norm. cos usually they will mark down the prices for all the gadgets on the very last day and normally ppl decide and prefer to go on the last day to get a bargain for the gadgets.


n i, who had gone to the fair on the very first day itself, had forgotten to purchase another set of battery for my cacated digicam (apparently, my old one; which was still in good shape was accidentally traded with clementthefrenchguy's cacated one).
so i decided to ask a church sister who happened to go there on the last day (sun) to help me get one.


no, i didn't expect they gonna give discount on batteries.
but never did i thought that they gonna jack up the prices for batteries either.
i thought the battery will cost like rm25; same as the one i bought last year.
but bloodyhell no. this one costs me rm35.
i dont care whether they jacked up the price or not, but still, it still costs more than what i got last year.whatthe*. had to pay extra rm10 for the same old thing.
pc fair celaka sial.


n i told my r/mate about it (about how much i gotit last year). n i showed her the cash bill that i still kept to confirm that i got it for rm25 last year.
now below are proves that i no lie lie and that i got the battery from the same booth/shop. (even i myself was surprised.)
(i erased off the name of the shop and contact just to protect their, ahem, rights and privacy. i'm not that bad enough to expose the shop okies. can't blame them wholly just because of rm10, can i? l0L. after all, things just get more expensive and expensive as the year goes by. but well, just to show u guys how coincident thing is- that i had the batteries purchased exactly on the same day, different year from the same booth. which might explains that there was probably only one nikon booth at the fair.)


apparently, with extra rm10, the battery came with a betta packing this time (check out the pic below):
(cos as far as i remember, the previous one that i get, there was no casing, nothing. just with the batteries wrapped inside a transparent wrapper.)
and therefore, i shall refrain myself from complaining for the extra rm10. l0L. after all, it's just a AA (AA sum more, not litium) batteries with a betta packing.
paid more for betta qualities? h'm..
