The Macbook Battery

So I finally got the RM 300 to replace my nonfunctioning macbook battery. I was so excited! I thought to myself (and being quite proud of myself); I did it! All by myself! I didn't have to ask Ayah for the money and I didn't have to borrow anyone's money!

I accompanied Ayah to Low Yat today to run a few errands. When we dropped by the MacStore, I asked for the battery. The guy at the counter went away for a while and returned after a few minutes with a small box in hand.

"We don't have the white battery for you but we only have the black one left." He continued, "But it's the same price." So I agreed and just went on with it.

As they placed it on the counter, I saw the pricetag: RM 599.

I was stunned. "It's RM 599?" I asked. 

"Yes, this is the original." He answered. And apparently, it did cost RM 600 instead of RM 300.

I looked at my dad and told him softly, "Ayah, I only have RM 300."

He paid the rest and said to me, "Alia, you can pay for it when you're richer than me."

:')

The assumed price of a macbook battery= RM 300.

The real price of a macbook battery= RM 599.

The lesson from buying a macbook battery at that time= Invaluable.
