.: MUVO SLIM :.

i've been wanting to get a creative muvo slim. i called creative headquarters a few months ago, no longer in production. went to the comex IT fair yesterday, with the hope of getting one. to my dismay, "Sorry, we dont sell it anymore". eyes cast down, i called blossom to inform her of the disappointing news. walking aimlessly at the fair, i saw a laptop bag i really liked, couldnt decide to be practical (all black) or be spontaneous (I really liked the green & black one). Took almost half an hour and finally decided on the green (so much for just wanting to check out the mp3 players ONLY).

Blossom called in-between to say that she happened to spot a brand new MUVO SLIM (PINK!!!!) on e-bay selling for $90! Unbelievable (although its a 512 mb aje lah, instead of the 1gb i wanted)!!!

sms-ed the guy when i reached home, and he called. so, here's an account of the bargain:

Mr Muvo Slim (MMS): hi...

Me: hello..yeah, my friend called earlier. i am interested in the Muvo slim. whats the lowest price u would sell it for?

MMS: hhhmmm, actually...the price i quoted on the web is the price i want lah plus i can deliver to you, anywhere in singapore. ok, why dont u tell me how much u are willing to pay for it??

Me: $50?? *meekly, coz this is a brand new, unopened pink-coloured pink muvo slim i am talking about..now to think of it, maybe i shouldve been more adamant. oh well*

MMS: $50???!!!! * melampau lah pulak marlina ni!!!!*

Me: ok-ok, $70?? *by this time, my adrenaline was rushing*

MMS: $80??

Me: $75?

MMS: *laughs* ok lah

Me: mouth gaping...*keep your voice cool, marlina* ok, great

made arrangements to meet for the exchange today.

the muvo slim is lying next to me right now. its pretty in pink.

masya allah.

disclaimer: the account above is an excerpt of the conversation, which has been aptly summarised so that this entry wont run for pages. it may not be the exact words but indeed as close a resemblance it could get to the real conversation. it is also good to note that this is the first time i bought anything, anything at all from e-bay. what an experience.

ps: thank you, blossom =)
