What? June Already???!!!

Yes.. yessss indeedy.. it's already June.... wow.. middle of the year.. tons of things happening.... Great Singapore Sale.. June School Holidays blah blah blah....

And this is the time to the Ugly side of Singaporeans.... yes... got a bit of that last night..... well.. not exactly the ugly side.. but basically just the plain lor-soh (troublesome) side of Singaporeans....

See I wanted to go get my new phone... coz after all the voucher deductions I only had to pay $28 for the MotoRizr Z3 (eyeing it for a loooonnnnngggg time) so I went down to Starhub @ TM... now.. I know why I stopped going to TM.... it's like it's own world.. Tampines.... anyways... i got my q number at like 8.50pm.. and mine was 0106.. the number on screen was 0091... so fine... I walked around... 15 mins later.. it went up to 0101 and then it was an hour wait to my number! Why????

Because... at Counter 1.. this girl wanted to change her phone but Daddy had to pay and while she was on his phone.. he was taking out her SIM card lah, this that lah...
Then at Counter 2.. this mother was buying phones for her 2 kids.. one about 10 and the other about 13... and guess what??? They couldn't decide on the phone they wanted.... but they were at the counter registering for the plan etc... Counter 4 was the best... this old foggie.. children & wife in tow... had the time to ask to see the demo phone.... and not only that.. can take the time to take pictures.. of his family and all... to see how the camera works.... even the counter staff looked pissed... at Counter 6.. this couple who had 0099 and had gone for dinner.. had the cool cheek to come back, give his number to the staff and got called first...
ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

Some tips for would be buyers of new phones etc:

1. Sales staff are around waiting for you to approach them to demo test the phones. Please do not go get a registration number, stand at the counter and then spend 45 mins figuring out which phone you want.

2. There are many plans.... if you're not sure.. again.. approach the friendly Sales staff before you go get your registration number.

3. If you're paying by GIRO, state upfront that you'd like to do so, not delay the other customers from paying because you want to know how GIRO works...

4. Only go get the registration number once you've decided on the phone you want and the plan you want.....

But then.. again.. this is Singapore... they'll get their number first, ask or not ask the sales staff about the phone.. or they'll just look at the display phones.. and discuss openly with family members on the pros & cons of each phone... then end up at the registration counter asking about the phones...

God dammit! If you don't know... ASK... don't act like you know it all!!!

And 10yr old kids shouldn't be owning the latest Sony Ericsson K800i! Even if mummy's paying!!!!

So much for a Monday eh?
