Aug 1- 3rd 2008: PC Fair 2008 in Kuala Lumpur; at KL Convention Centre. We went there on the 3rd at abt 3pm; and it was still crowded as expected. In fact, there were so many people, at one time I felt the air was running out (yes, serious as a heart attack!). And since the was so little room to move around — we quickly concluded that prices were just slightly cheaper than those listed at LYP on normal days.. and that we would just need to find the “designated exit” (the organizer has decided, yet again, to have limited designated exits, so that visitors would have to walk and go through all the halls before one could go out).

well.. that was the original idea.

By 8pm, we summed up the damages to be:

• 1 set of Altec Lansing VS computer speaker
• 5 sets of canon MP300 cartridges (yes, for 5 colors, thats 25 boxes!)
• Another 5 sets of Imprint cartridges (yes, for that MP300)
• 2 units of 19″ BenQ LCD monitors
• One computer headphone (with those big muffs)
• Canon EOS40D urrgg dropped from the list: we are sure we could get a better offer elsewhere
• Blistered fingers (from dragging all these from Hall 1 to ISETAN & car park! — that’s probably 2km)

Big complaint: get rid of the walk-flow system where you have to go through Hall 1 until Hall 5 to exit from that place. With all those stuffs; we could hardly walk in-gadget styles without stomping, stumbling, kicking and cursing.

Additional damages due to PC Fair 2008 fever:

• Intel P43 P5QL-E motherboard with Intel C2D
• GeForce 8600GT XFX Graphics Card (yes, with dual monitor support for the 2 benq lcds)
• LG DVD-RW driver
• Windows XP
