Steve Job arrived..

When it comes to online shopping, i am quite skeptical about it.
Reason?

1. I wouldn't have any information on the seller just in case they cheat me of my money, and i will be grabbing my own balls by then.

2. I always worried that the "unknown" person who might use my credit card to purchase some kind of internet porn related stuffs.

However, recently i made an exception due to the fact that i am a very "impatient" person. I came to know that Steve Job's autobiography has been released, and the only way is to get it is only via Amazon.com since i couldn't wait for another 2 more months. (Or so i was informed).

So, i signed up for an account from Amazon.com, and there she is! I found the book.
Key in my credit card number without a glitch and purchased it. Piece of cake, compared to a the pain in the arse of booking Air-Asia zero fare tickets.

Amazon.com has provided the buyer with a parcel-tracking facilities. My book was expected to arrive on Nov 21. But nothing came through. I started to think of all kind of possibilities on why the item is not arriving.

1. Maybe the custom officer wanted to read it first before releasing it to me.
2. Maybe the ship delivering my parcel has sunk.
3. Maybe my money has gone to the Al-Qaeda terrorist network funding.

But, another week has passed. It arrived finally.

Safe and sound.

The image of Steve Job looking at me upon opening up the parcel was just..brilliant.

As if he is looking into my eyes and says: "You like my beard, don't ya little boy?"

Well, it is worthwhile for all the waitings. But not when a friend rang me up and told me.

"Hung Yew, you know what? The Steve Job's book has been displayed on TESCO rack few weeks ago. And the price in Popular bookstore is much cheaper if you have the member card compared to yours via Amazon. com".

What the F??? TESCO!!!

How do i feel?

You tell me about it lo!!
