Every 3 months, hordes of people, geeks and non-geeks alike, will converge on either 1 of the 2 holy grounds of IT fairs Suntec City/Expo. The dust (and discarded pamphlets) of the PC Show 2009 held in June had barely settled down before the infamous Suntec Halls 4 and 6 were ready for the next stampede yet again.
COMEX 2009! Held at Suntec Convention Centre, 10-13 Sept, Halls 4 and 6, it descends upon us once again!
Traffic jams! Carpark woes! Citylink body crushes! More humans in an enclosed area than chickens in a farm! Elbowing and stepping on people's toes! Loud and irritating promoters! Pamphlets and flyers making up the floor! Slipping on aforementioned flyers! Credit cards being flashed and cash exchanging hands! Trolleys, plastic bags, cardboard boxes, all fighting for walkway space! Prices that always seem to drop by the minute on Sundays! Freebies, discounts, offers and benefits!
And yet I go back every time.
Cheap thrills. And for the first time, I can't find an excuse to buy anything...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe, just maybe, I'll buy something for the sake of buying something. Feels wrong to leave an IT fair empty handed. No, its downright taboo.
