the relief of being honest

Wednesday, 1450
s: couz, i might need to buy a laptop
e: ow, ok. i've just bought a new one, actually
s: a good one?
e: emm, let's say.. it's a level-3 performance. but it's quite cheap.
s: ic.. ic..
e: just let me know if you want me to help

Sunday, 1335
s: couz, could you help me choosing a laptop?
e: sure. any criteria?
s: not really! just find me a good one but not too expensive. it's just for normal usage
e: emm, actually.. u know.. are you interested in buying mine ?
s: ow!! you wanna sell yours? why?
e: coz i wanna buy a better one
s: what's wrong with this one?
e: nothing's wrong at all. im just eager to have the better one. it's not fast enough for me *grinning*
s: but it would be enough for me?
e: yes of course. it's level-3 performance, as i said
s: mm, okey. lemme think!
e: sure, not a problem. im telling you, it's still fresh, neat, clean, and 2 weeks old
s: hmm
e: if you really want to consider it, i'll give you 15% discount
s: okey, give me a moment
e: sure. but be fast. i'll go overseas on thursday

Tuesday, 0800
s: are you sure you wanna sell it?
e: positive! if you want mine. so?
s: and nothing's damaged or broken?
e: no! i've just used it maybe 4-5 times
s: ok then. i'll take yours. and now, you're gonna buy a new one for you?
e: yup! im going to buy it now
s: ok. i'll just transfer the money once you SMS me your account number.
e: no worries !

Tuesday, 1535
i went to mall, and bought a new one!
wow!! i felt energized!

Tuesday, 2155
i checked my 'old' laptop, just make sure everything is okey.
but.. !$$%*!@$?#?!(!*&$
the camera isn't working well! it's blur! i checked what could be the problem, and i found it.
the internal cam's not mounted well, which means i have to claim it tomorrow morning

Wednesday, 1000
i went back to the shop, asking for a new unit. it sucks knowing that they won't give me one. instead, they promise will try to repair it. f they could not fix it, then they will give a new one. but the problem is, it woul take a week, and i have only today to fix this! the only solution i could think of is to call my couz and explain everything. and of course, i have to offer my new laptop instead giving him the old one. to think that i have to let my new laptop go made me upset.

Wednesday, 1230
e: umm, we have a bit problem here
s: ow really ? what is it?
e: your laptop to be.. the camera is not working well
s: what???
e: yeeeaah.. i know it sounds bad.. emm, i've been thinking.. so here's the deal. you can have my new laptop, im taking the old one.
s: wait.. wait.. i can't afford it, too expensive
e: yes, i know. but it's better than i give you the blurred-cam-laptop
s: but it's still under warranty, right?
e: yes it is. im also claiming it now. but im afraid it won't settle today while i need to go tomorrow
s: oh, ic ! well, how bout this. you keep your new laptop and i'll still take the old one. just finish the warranty process, when it's done i'll take it.
e: are you sure?
s: oh, yes yes.. not a problem !
e: oh, okey then. thanks a lot for understanding !
s: it's okey !

fiuh.. so so so so so relief.. i still own my new laptop; my couz have his; everybody happy !
this incident tells me to keep on telling the truth !
