The lucky one!

Lil’ one 收获最多 today.

I needed to get another Apple Watch charger so needed to drop by Apple Store. I was also thinking if should get an iPad for lil’ one to bring to school, as she has been complaining that her laptop is so heavy. Her laptop battery life is also depleting very fast now and have been having problems and was serviced twice in Lenovo. I HAD TO BRING IT DOWN FOR HER. Now she complains that she can only use her laptop for 2+ hrs before it 🪫, there’s no power socket in the classroom or lecture hall for her to plug her laptop. 

Got her the cheapest deal 128GB @ $899 coz it’s mainly for her studies. She don’t need 256GB as what che-che said even for her Uni she used less than 128GB. 

Suppose to only buy my cheap charger ($39), I ended up spending more than that - $1037. 

Monetary damage breakdown: 

iPad Air  —> $899 but $80 student discount = $819

Pencil —> $199 but $20 student discount = $179

My watch charger —> $39 no discount 🤣

Because we went there unprepared so she asked the staff if she can get student discount without her student pass. Tho I think with her small childish voice anyone can tell she’s still a student. The guy asked her where she’s studying and asked if there is any proof, maybe she can do her student login into ITE portal. While she was looking for it, I asked him if the email I received asking to pay school fees will help prove she’s a student, he burst out laughing and said it’s possible. Muahaha! In the end, lil’ one showed him. He only took a 2 sec glance so I suspect he’s an alumni too coz he’s familiar with the format. Like that also can 😂. 

At first che-che was saying she can pass her pencil to mei-mei since she doesn’t use now. Then staff asked her if hers in 2nd gen, it doesn’t work on this one now. Che-che mumbled to me “Apple making money only” 😂

I can’t remember how much hubby paid for her pencil last time, but I suppose it must be $199. 高い！At around the same time I was also looking for a pencil for the iPad (6th gen) I took from hubby. I can only use the 1st gen and it was very expensive too. Now they’re selling the 1st gen pencil @ $149. However I got mine for only $58.99, it’s definitely not the original Apple pencil coz it’s not even charged this USB-C way. Oh well! I have nothing to complain about coz I can use it.

The funniest thing happened - my CC payment didn’t go through and I didn’t bring my CC. (Wah….how long since I changed to the current LV bag? My CC was in my previous bag. Tapped a few times and staff asked me if I set a limit to the card. Oops! I think I did for protection and I don’t usually spend that much. Che-che the rich lady came to the rescue and I transferred her the amount after that. 

Back at home I was looking at what model or what generation her iPad Air is when I realised the M3 (whatever that means) was released on the 12th of this month, just last week. 🤭 Oh….

Her new iPad Air and pencil 

Installing apps and dunno doing what. Checking which notes app is good. Both che-che and I used Goodnotes, tho mine is FOC. Stingy me didn’t want to waste money as I don’t need that many folders. Che-che paid for hers coz she used it in Uni. She tried to let lil’ one use her account but can’t.
