Early present for my wife (*)

Well, Vivi has been wanting to get her own dirty lil' laptop for a while, a device where she can "browse any perverted things that she likes and wrote all kinds of private** notes without other people reading it". So after quite a few trips to different computer buildings (two, but they are kind of far apart) in the HOT and HUMID weather in Hong Kong after spending 8 hrs of working!!!, going between multiple shops to haggle and to compare, we (yes, the royal we) present you:


TADAAAAAH!

The ASUS EEE Netbook PC 1001-Px, the latest mid-range model with all the connectivity you need and a (claimed) 6-hrs battery life, all for the cheap cheap price of US$ 299!! (our expertise fee not included). 

Congrats!

Yay me



Explanation:
(*) present mentioned involved only the labor part of the purchase, including but not limited to: time spent to read reviews of the said netbook, time spent to browse multiple locations to find the best deal for the netbook, time spent to haggle between the multiple shops to find the one with the best price for the netbook. At US$ 299 / hr this expertise fee can add up to quite a few! Actual material price of the netbook will still have to be borne by the person wanting the said notebook.
(**) usually dirty laundry notes

[am giggling like a silly lil girl]

Yay!!! Thank you!!!

...err...just finished the first (*) fine prints regarding what the present includes and excludes so...

yay, thanks [note that I reviewed and cancelled the earlier exclamation points and have stopped giggling]

but really, thanks for the labor part of the purchase, especially the walking part after 8 hours of working, I know your fl#t feet must have been really aching by now...

XOXO
