KLCC Convention Center
Finally, he got through. The turn out for this Top Gadgets' exhibition was more than he thought. At least he is in now, he fan himself with the ticket in relief. 'Now, where do I go, oh yes... camera section'.
It has been a hectic week, plus Chinese New Year starting the day after tomorrow. As it turns out, it may be a good thing after all since his parents and most of his relatives decided to take a trip to China this year. Least he would have the weekends to rest. Matt could still taste the alcohol in his breath, what a crazy crazy night. He wouldn't even have taken this job if not for the perks it offers and not to mention the company sponsored car. Least his mom could use the Proton from now. Guess he would have to start drinking more often than he thought. Those Japanese clients are hard to please, entertainment is almost always necessary to shorten the process. Least he got the contract signed, after 4 crazy months of negotiating.
'Leica, Lumix, Sony, Nikon' Matt skims through the banner and displays bobbing out of every tent. 'So many choices' he sighed while lookin at his watch. He better be quick about this as he got to fetch his sister in about 2 hours time from tuition. Judging from the budget he has, it should limit most of these high-end choices. As he browse through every tent, the flyers from the promoter girls kept piling up in his hands. Although he knew he couldn't afford Leicas, he stopped by for a quick look at his favorite models, the D-Luxs. 'Wow, D-Lux 3 is out' he frowned in amazement with his face almost touching the panels. He has been eyeing the D-Lux model and trying to save for it since D-Lux 1 but never succeeded.
First was because of his father's hospital bill and now his sister's tuition fees. Before he could turn around, a sudden white light flashes right into his pupil. Suddenly his vision blurred for a few seconds. "OMG, sorry sir ...are you alright??" a girl holding a camera was talking to him. At first he could barely make out her face because of that flashing incident. "Are you okay? Look! Your picture" she turned the camera around to show him the LCD display. "This is our latest model, the one you're looking at...I think" she smiled. For some reason, he couldn't open his mouth for a brief moment.
Her eyes were extremely enthusiastic and her smile plain sweet. "OHh... nice pic" he took the camera for a closer look and smiled back. Right about then, she started her sales pitch. "This camera is our latest model, has 2..8 er..er ..apeture..." she said nervously while looking back into this small pamplet to check for correction. 'How cute', Matt watched her and tries to keep an interested look at what she is saying. He could probably do the sales pitch himself as he knows so much more than her about Leicas. But he didn't stop her, he just couldn't. She was trying really hard. "So, are you interested in getting one for yourself? We have promotion today...it is only $1,899 today!" she closed her pitch. Matt almost stumbled when he heard that price. "er...I'll look around first okay?" he replied. "Alright, if there is anything I can help you with ...please tell me okay? I'm Mandy" she hands him a flyer and smiled abruptly before walking away to the next customer. 'MAn, soooooo expensive' he whispered to himself as he turned to walk away. All of a sudden, he felt a strange vibration in his pants. It was a phone call, from someone that haven't called in a long time. 'AndezsTand?'.
