Happening day

Before I go sleep after shopping for cyber Monday.... Just want to note 28th Nov down as a happening day..

Woke up late, but decided to take the MRT anyway, cos I've spent too much money on cab last week...

Got on the train, damn it, no seats. Serangoon interchange, still no seat. Then suddenly, this girl beside me, carrying a Psychology textbook (that looks like 10cm thick) started to curl her upper body.... I was thinking is she falling asleep? Or what? So I tapped her and asked if she's ok. She said with a pale face, "I feel like vomitting..."

OMG!! I fumbled into my bag for a plastic bag, but I don't have any!!!! I looked around for help, and luckily an auntie was looking at me. I tried asking, "Do you have a plastic bag? She wants to vomit!" The auntie took out a NTUC plastic bag and pass it to her while I held the thick book for the girl. Some nice uncle gave up his seat for the sick girl after a few seconds. I'm so glad that there are still nice people around in Singapore! ^^ Anyway, was glad that I made someone's day, cos I could really feel it when she thanked me.

After that, managed to take the girl's seat when she alighted at Marymount. Then somewhere at Buona Vista, this old uncle boarded the train. Wahlao eh, nobody give up their seat?!!! So ended up I just stood up and asked him to sit down. At the same time, this woman playing with her phone, sitting on the priority seat looked up, and I DIAOed her! Wahahaha. I hope she saw it.

This is one of the reasons why I rather I take the priority seat than other people - cos I will give up my seat for the needy (even though I'm not sitting on the priority seat!!), while I know some people who just sit on the priority seat won't.

Anyway forward to work, meeting from 11am to 1pm. Wanted to meet up Merv for some htht lunch session at 1pm. But my meeting extended until 1:20pm. Was going to walk over to MBC to meet him, and my boss came out of his room, "How are you gals gonna settle your lunch?" I told him I'm meeting a friend. "There's not much time, isn't it?"

I was a bit pissed off and I replied him,"What? You mean you want me to be back by 2?"

My boss gave me a weird face,"Yah! There's a meeting at 2??" Damn paiseh!! I totally forgot about the weekly meeting at 2!!!! My boss rolled his eyes before leaving the office to get his lunch.

End up I had to bang seh Merv. I felt bad, so I asked him if he wanna teabreak at 3+. He left his office, but he got stuck in the rain. HAHA. Ok, I felt reeeaaallly bad and I asked him if he wants dinner. But well, all's well. We ended up having a dinner at ABC market. Thanks pal for having the htht session!

On a side note, shucks, I hope the psychology girl don't think it was an auntie that helped her =/

My mobile phones

This may be a bit boring but I was looking through xda developers forum and saw a guy's signature with all the phones that he has used, so I decided to pay a tribute to all the phones that I've used

My 1st phone... Nokia 8250, bought in 2001 Q2, a reward from my uncle cos I had good results for O Levels


2nd phone Nokia 6610, which I bought in 2003 Q1, after my A Levels, and when I was working temp jobs

Then I moved on to my 3rd phone Samsung X430 in 2004 cos 6610 gave me insensitive keypad (I sent for repair like twice within the 1 year warranty!!!)

My 4th phone was also a Samsung phone bought in Jul 2005. This phone is still working now, my mum was still using it when she was still around. I didn't trade it in cos it was a 21st bday present from a lot of frens!



5th phone was a weird one, my 1st try on a smartphone - an O2 Graphite. I remember I dropped it and there was a crack on the screen, and I had a very bad experience with the service centre. Bought this in 2007 Q3



Because I was so pissed off with O2, I decided to buy my 6th phone during 2008 Q2. Went back to a Nokia phone, my 1st and only slider phone. I think this is seriously just a "rebound phone" for me, cos I nearly forgot that I owned it before!!!! Lol. Not much comment on this phone other than it being heavy...


Then I decided to try out a QWERTY phone, and bought Nokia E63 as my 7th phone in 2009 Q2.


My E63 didn't last me long either because when everyone was going crazy over iphone 3gs, I went gaga over the Samsung Galaxy S. After contemplating for like 1 month, I decided to get it as my 8th phone in Jun 2010:



Although I loved my Galaxy S, the newer & better cousin came along and the rest was history. In Jul 2011, I bought my 9th phone:



I thought I'm someone who doesn't change phone that frequently, but come to think of it, from 2000 to 2011, I've used 9 phones.... which means on average, I change a phone every 1y3m!

I have to say up till now, the phone I love the most (making fair comparisons by just comparing my satisfaction of the phone during the time I own it)... I've to say Nokia 8250 and Samsung E720C are in for a tie. Shocking, but can be seen by the fact that I owned these 2 phones for the longest!

Anyway end of my bo liao post, going to sleep.
