The third round of the the Great Singapore IT Pasar Malam is here (The other 3 are Sitex, PC Show (-_-") and IT Show (-_-" x 2), we are so "creative" in naming IT exhibitions). This round is known as Comex. As usual it is going to held in Suntec Convention Centre, so expect Suntec to be cramp with people and pamphlets litter everywhere this weekend. Unless I need to get something, avoid that area if you can. I won't go to these shows during weekends. I rather forsake the discounts and price slash during the weekends having to shuffle and push my way around the crowd. The situation is not help when there are inconsiderate people pushing their baby pram in the limited space. Worse still, they along bring their wife, children, grandma and maid. MAID!!! WTF! What do they think this is? A family picnic?
But on second thought, this IS an IT pasar malam, and when words like "Sale" and "Free Gift" comes together, there are sure to be a lot of Singaporeans. Comparing with other tech shows in other countries, ours is a warehouse sale. Take Taipei's Computex, it showcase the latest products from leading tech companies, whereas ours are dominated by Sim Lim shops featuring staff standing on top of counters, yelling at the top of their voice on some gadget currently on sale now. It looks more like a fish market than an IT show. Even the most basic necessity for an IT show, we also failed badly. Yes, I am talking about the booth babes. Other than the Sony booth babes, others are so-so nia. So much so that some of the promoters are prettier than the so-called babes itself.
P.S. LL, need to go down to COMEX this weekend to get a thumb drive for my sister. Most probably will go right after the exhibition starts. my strategy: Go in, grab item, pay and get out....
