Thursday during working time received a SMS from dear saying that he gonna pick me up after work, his mobile phone battery running low. So happy, I don’t need to squeeze the bus with everyone else after work.
Close to knock off time I received a call from an unknown number, pick up the call is dear again. He was telling me that after work Kieve will pick me up, asking him why, he told me that he don’t have car so Kieve will pick me up, I got so worry & trying to ask for more details & dear say he will tell me later.
Mind running wild wondering what has happen. Clock strike 6 & dear called with another unknown number again saying that he is coming down with Steven now to pick me up.
Finally saw dear in a good state then I can rest my mind. Well, the reason for all this is because Steve going to Bintan for holiday & he is handing over his car to dear, not possible for dear to drive 2 cars at a time, really scared the hell out of me.
We head over to Changi Village to have some “Tim Sum” for dinner & send Steven to the ferry terminal.

We head back home for dear to have shower & stuff & we went to Serganoon Garden to meet up with Kieve. We went to a pub call “The Chapter”, a nice place to chill out. Accompany Kieve till Yao Yang & his girlfriend came over & we make a move from there.
Friday I’m on leave but I woke up rather early still. Today I gonna get the I-Phone 3GS for my dear. I step out of my house around 11plus & reaches Somerset around 12 plus. Walk to the ComCentre, the place was arranged full with lot of security guard, did not see any queue so I head over to TCC for some coffee & snack.
Simply love “Ice Hazelnut Latte” and I had “Mozell Beef Tofu”, that dish have 2 of my favorites stuff inside – Cheese & Tofu. I miss the time when I can laze around in a cozy café in the warm afternoon, with my favorite coffee & a nice book in hand. That the best enjoyment in life.
Head back to Comcentre around 1.30pm, saw Kelvin there, ask him where the queue starting from & I head over for my queuing session. Initially I decide to stand my way there as I’m wearing a white short, but it too tiring so I simply hack care, just make myself comfortable on the floor with my book in hand.
Around 3plus Jimmy came & joins the queue, but he was so far behind till I cannot see him, not able to let him cut my queue as they are rather strict this time. Received a call from dear saying that he is unable to come down & accompany me now as his uncle was missing he say he will join me later.
The weather was hot; I really had a hard try struggling here in the queue, what keep me going is to think that I wanna get this phone for dear. Trying my very best to avoid all camera as I was like the first few in the queue, this is the craziest thing I had ever done I won’t want to see my face in the TV or paper, I won’t know where to hide my face.
Time crawl, I felt so cheated as stated on the email the event start at 6pm, but when we got there we were told the event start at 8pm. We had colour code on our hand to state we are in the queue so ask Jimmy out for a puff as all of us are really so tired of waiting.
Got a SMS from Hannah telling me she saw my face on the big screen. ARGH!! I cannot hid my face anywhere is I’m the 14th in the queue, directly in front of all camera. Felt so paisae, hoping that no one else gonna tell me they saw me.
Received a call from dear saying that he is unable to join me as they found his uncle collapse in the house. His uncle was send in to hospital & he got a minor stoke. Good thing they found him early, it really dangerous for an old person to live alone.
It was a grand launch I can say, with firework & stuff, never in my life I get so close to the firework before, still worry that the spark might drop on me. Finally we can go in to get our phone at the time of around 8.30pm.
There a little hip-up happen while purchasing. My attitude wasn’t very nice & I gave them a rather impatient look. Finally the manager came over to my assistance & I’m able to purchase my phone fast enough.
Went to the “Trade-in” booth to trade-in dear’s HTC Touch, S$100 bucks cash back. Used the S$100 cash back to buy some accessory for dear. Got a screen protector, a silicon casing & a car kit charger. What I can say is the accessory is not cheap.
Finally I got all my stuff done at around 9.30, took a cab to dear’s house, I was too tried to squeeze with everyone in the bus.
We head over to his uncle’s house to check all the electricity is off & I “da pao” my dinner to eat there, I was damn hungry at that time & really need to go to toilet after such long hours of waiting. Dear check out the phone over there. Finally see a little excitement in his face now.
<Dear put my photo as wall paper>
After everything done, we went to pick Jimmy up & head to cage at Kallang. Watch Keive play soccer awhile & the 2 of them was like discussing about the function of the phone.
Saturday, dear came & pick me up after he visit his uncle at hospital. Head back to dear house, finally we got time to download the app & really explore the phone. The speed of the phone was really fast.
<While waiting for dear come down from his uncle house>
Dear was asking me to make up my mind if I wanna get the Sony Ericson Satio or an I-Phone too. Really hard for me to decide, I like I-phone due to the app, the games that I can play & I can just use it as a MP3, but at the same time I like Satio because of the 12.1mega pixel camera phone, with that I can don’t buy a digital cam. Really so hard to chose between the two.
Time really flies, it is way pass our dinner time, I was super hungry by the time. Dear bought me to Suntec for my favorite Kenny Roger. Don’t know why I simply crave for that so often.
Sunday our rest day as per normal, Dino allow to roam around my whole house every Sunday. Suddenly I realized Dino look rather sad the whole day then I realize that he cannot find is bone. Manage to find the bone for him & he was hyper again.
We went to visit dear’s uncle around evening time. Hospital was still in high precaution moment, all temperature must be taken, sticker must put on, and all visitors must have a pass before we can go into the ward, 2 visitors at a time. While waiting for dear’s uncle & aunty to come down, I was playing & keep disturbing dear will the mask, dear say he shouldn’t have bought me along, but of cos what I did is to ease off his tense.
It good to see his uncle recovering well, he look perfectly fine & healthy, guess he will be able to discharge real soon. After we left, we head over to Tampines to have “Nasi Lemak” for dinner.
There goes my long weekend.
