New Year, (Luckily no) No New RAM

So Lin Jin went Sim Lim today. I asked him to buy some laptop RAM for me. See, I bought my laptop during August's Comex. HP. So the salesman was trying to get me to buy more RAM ("I don't get paid for this!" he says).

"If you upgrade to 2gb it'll be $140."

*HOLY SHIT*

"Then, what about 1gb?"

"Erm, that'll be 80 bucks. Okay, I'll give you a special price. 60."

*>.>*

Then, a few days before today, Lin Jin was talking to me on the MRT.

"Eh, now laptop RAM very cheap leh. Last time I went to Sim Lim it was $25 for 2gb."

*O.O*

Naturally I asked him to buy a 2gb RAM stick for me. So today he went to Sim Lim. Then my parents heard me, and went ballistic.

"IT'LL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!"

"IT'S USELESS!"

"ASK HIM NOT TO BUY! CANCEL! RETURN!"

*sigh*

Well, turns out a) the RAM stick can't be returned, b)apparently it doesn't void your warranty and c)it's not bloody useless.

So I still got my RAM, if only because Lin Jin couldn't return it. Oh well. I still got a lashing from my parents afterwards for not telling them in advance.

Oh come on, 25 bucks! I know it's money, but it's still nothing to cry about...
