Price Match
這個Xmas沒買什麼，除了一些本來就要買的電子產品，還用了兩次Price match。
大部分的店家都也這種policy，只要你能show出比他們便宜的價錢，他們就可以給你一樣的價錢，減掉10%的差價。For example, I see something in Futurehsop that sells for $70, and Bestbuy only sells for $30. I can go to Futureshop to do a price match and get it for only $26 (an extra 10% of 70-30 off). Here is how you do it:
1. Do some intensive research online on what you want, and who sells it.
2. Make sure the stores sell identical products.
3. Go to the one that sells it at the HIGHEST price. Note: matching between big stores is easier because they usually have bigger price difference.
4. Find the product you want and take it to a staff telling him you found a price lower than this and ask if you can do a price match
5. Get a puzzling face from the staff. He will ask you to show him the price, so go to the website and show him that you are right.
6. He will say ok we can do it, and attempts to checkout for you. Usually it takes some time because he doesn't know how to do it. Wait patiently with a smile on your face and ask politely if many people do this. He will say no. This can hopefully relief the awkwardness while waiting.
7. He finally figures it out and prices it at what you have shown him. Now you will notice that he does not give you the extra 10% price difference off. What a noob, but let's forgive him.
8. Be strong and ask him politely if theres an extra 10% off. He will suddenly remember it or go ask other staff.
9. He will then try to make some calculation to figure out how much 10% difference is. Help him with the calculation. Be patient and smile if he can't get it right. And yes, you do want the extra discount no matter how small it is, it's the pride of consumers.
10. He finally got the price right. Pay for it, and thank him for the endeavor he goes through.
It's extra fun when you do price match between Bestbuy and Futureshop.

凌晨五點
今天不想睡
覺得有點藍
深藍 無底的感覺
其實沒什麼事
只是撿到了一些遺忘的片段
感傷嗎?沒有
是困惑,不知道要把它們擺在哪
有點不知哪來的憤怒
好想大聲說 i am fucking sick and tired of this shit
guess i am just tired of myself
want to swap brain with someone else
just ranting
im fine

公車票
今天在等公車的時候
有一個阿伯走來走去問別人"Are you paying for your bus ticket?"
很明顯的他是想要賣用過的公車票
其實一點也不稀奇
但我覺得他的方法很不錯
平常我們遇到的都是那種怪怪的流浪漢問你要不要買他們的票
效果很差 因為我們不喜歡跟怪怪的人買車票
可是今天這個是先問你要不要付錢坐車
讓你先想到要付$2.25的公車費
然後再給你省錢的機會
我覺得他成功的機率會高很多
I think it's good marketing

Let there be photos
No particular meaning to this photo. Simply want to put something colourful up here for a change. Kinda miss having a camera with me. Thinking about getting a DSLR or a good point and shoot. Framing with LCD screen and movie mode do come in handy sometimes.

FINAL 事件錄
"明天就要考兩個final了,而現在卻開始發燒真是出師不利
本來還以為只是睡不好腰酸背痛"
4/16/07
寫到這裡我就掛掉了
後來狂喝水跟果汁
我發現final好像有不錯的治癒力
我才病了一天就康復了
anyways, did alot of facebook today, and expect to do more as a substitute for msn and random web surfing

First update at last
its been while since my last update
and today i actually think abt actually updating
剛剛login就看到了去年寫的草稿 dated 2/12/2006
原來我去年就想要update了,卻到現在才做
這個"嚴重的問題"到底是什麼我說實在也忘了
開頭寫這樣害我都想要再讀下去了,可是要再想起的機會實在不高
感覺好像被我自己賣了個關子,還滿嘔的
今天不是什麼特別的日子,在這麼不特別的時間重新開張我卻覺得恰到好處
因為不用想什麼應景的題目來寫,寫些沒什麼意義的東西也沒差
之前好幾次都想update可是也忘記為什麼都沒有,可能只是拖得太晚想睡
也可能只是為了first post該怎麼開始而煩惱
you might say that "欸呀,只是自己的blog而已,想那麼多幹嘛,想到什麼就寫啊!"
可是我覺得開張就是要好好的開始,隨便開始可能也會落得才幾個禮拜就倒閉的慘狀
所以不管怎樣
就是要寫多一點長一點,這樣看起來比較體面
講講剛剛被自己賣關子的事好了
其實這也不是第一次了,最近還滿常發生的,也就是因為這樣我才想開始寫東西
自己常常忘東忘西的
我說的不是忘記鑰匙放在哪裡,作業忘記寫的那種
而是想到了一些自己覺得很棒的東西或idea,可是還沒寫下來就忘了
"那就寫在筆記本啊"
嗯..good idea 可是我很懶得用筆寫東西,況且很多是要寫也寫不出來的
沒有經過自己碎碎唸加上紀錄是沒辦法整理出來的
所以最好還是用電腦打,以後也比較好access,我的筆記常常都不知道丟到哪了
話說回來
這種忘記東西的感覺還滿差的
尤其是像ideas or other creative thoughts
跑掉了可能永遠都回不來了
不知道頭腦是不是像硬碟一樣,剛忘記的東西像是檔案的資訊從MFT砍掉了
its deleted as we know it, but we can still find it if we really want to
可是時間一過,那一區硬碟可能就被另一個檔案overwriten
而腦細胞的連結也因為其他的資訊而被改變,wiping out the remaining memory
或許有很多人就是這樣失去了改變人生的機會
what about if you forget that you've forgotten something?
這樣倒是沒什麼不好的 since you wouldn't be aware of the loss
and since its all in your head, no one can remind you of what you have lost
想起了一個段子from "那一夜,我們說相聲" by 李力群 and 李國修
its titled 記性與忘性
提到了說記性壞的人活得挺愉快的,而他的解釋是 "你想嘛,什麼事都忘了當然愉快"

好久沒update了喔
自己都開始覺得我的blog好無聊
今天就來寫一些沒營養的..嗯..i mean隨性的東西好了
以前每次po的都是會讓我自己頭痛的東西
actually.. i think i do have sth to write now
其實我漸漸發現到一個很嚴重的問題
說大不大但說小不小
算是一個滿深的topic
這個問題我也已經發現了好一陣子
