I am so happy that I think I am going to blog a very long entry.
And while I am saying this, I am also laughing at myself for yesterday's entry. I thought that would be a very short entry because he wants to use the comp, yet I still proceed to use for one hour while he waited in the background.
Well well, too bad. The payer is queen.
Anyway, I am in a super good mood since the beginning of the day. I was supposed to be meeting mashi at 1. I meant to wake up at around 10 to use the comp for a while before I go out but I overslept.
Mashi called me at 12, which woke me up with a startle. I manage to get ready within the one hour span still, and even reached earlier than she did. Mashi is totally pissed with me for being late everytime we go out.
It is a bad habit of mine, I admit and I am still trying
Because I was earlier than she was, the outing started with a perfect pitch.
=)
I called m1 to check with them whether they have any discount vouchers they issue to customers whose contract has ended.
The pleasant officer (m1 officers are always pleasant anyway, why do I even need to indicate?) apologised and said that those vouchers are issued from the marketing dept and she has no idea whether they have any marketing promotions for the moment, or whether what are the qualifying criterias.
She ask me what phone am I looking at for the moment, and that she would confirm the price for me. I explained to her that I am looking to buy a samsung 530 and it is costing $298 at m1 but just $188 at starhub. The price gap is really too huge to be ignored!
She delivered good news that as of today onwards, for one week, the samsung 530 will be on promotion price for $228.! Now that is very good news, cos since it will cost me $40 to start a new line at starhub, I might as well stay with m1 and continue to enjoy the superb customer service!
I happily ended the call and practically skipped in joy.
=)
We went to toa payoh as per my suggestion. We didnt do much there, just ate at mac and walked around a little before the two of us threw our hands up in despair and decided we must leave that place!
Toa payoh is full of, er, of slow-walking people.
The two of us are practically walking into stone statues every turn we made and we agreed that west mall is such a better place.
Especially when west mall has a m1 shop.
Especially when west mall is very near the hairstylist place that mashi frequent, and highly recommend.
I went to rebond my fringe. I've cut it for a mth now and it is still having showing my left parting. Every morning, I need to spend at least 10 mins trying to tame the fringe into place and whenever I walk at anywhere that is windy, my fringe looks terrible.
Despite 曾经夸下海口 that I will never go for rebonding, I thought that enough is enough!
It turn out very very well, and I am very satisfied with the look! Mashi agreed that it was a really smart move. And this smart move cost me $30 only. I could only snicker to myself how lucky I am that by just rebonding my fringe, the rest of my hair looks treated too because my hair is still considered as natually straight.
=)
After that, I went to m1 shop in preparation to buy my phone.
I know I had been fickle minded. I will look at one phone and tell myself I must buy THAT phone. Then something happen such as the phone runs out of stock and I will promptly fall in love with another phone and declare I MUST BUY THAT PHONE.
And the cycle repeats.
Within this blog, I had blogged about wanting to get samsung x640c phone, then I said I wanted to get a nokia 7270, then this few days I had set my heart to buy samsung e530c.
(samsung e530c)I also considered the following phones among all other flip phones. I was quite adamant to get a flip phone, but sony ericsson k750i is really a very good phone, information courtesy of mashi, who is happily wedded to her phone now.
I called m1 and was told that z520i doesnt support mp3 ringtones. And from what the officer explained, it sounded really like a very basic phone. I am currently using a really basic phone (read dummy phone) and I dont really want to 'upgrade' to another basic phone.
So I ruled that out. My criterias are that simple! Flip phone, mp3 tones, and support chinese sms.
z800i is a super high end phone, with rotatable camera lens and the phone can be plugged to a comp via cable to be used as a removable drive. How cool is that! But it is too good a phone for my needs, so I had to rule it out.
It is giantic also.
K750i is as good as a phone can get, and it is really a dream phone. But still it is not a flip phone and it is too expensive for me to drop it into my bag without a care.
Hence samsung e530c is the answer to my wish. It is a flip phone, supports mp3 ringtones and support chinese sms. On top of it, the price isnt extorbitant and it boast of a 1.0 megapixel camera.
Not bad huh!
At m1 shop, I was looking to get e530c in chic white. I was expecting the phone to be completely white but it has a silver streak down the middle (where the purple is in the above pic). Like that still call it chic white for what sia? Call is chic silver la. The rest of the names of the variety are so straight forward, like valentine pink, and they call this chic white?
So I decided that maybe I should get it in oasis blue then. Nicer than silver in my opinion.
The m1 lady then asked me why I dowan to buy sony ericsson 520i instead. I told her I considered that before, but it doesnt support mp3 tones, so I dowan it.
She give me an incredous look, and informed that 520i DOES support mp3 ringtones!
So I bought it. Hahaha.
Read all about my phone here or here!
The phone is so much better than I expected it to be. It only had a vga camera, but that doesnt matter for I have a wu wu dong dong.
The memory is miserably small but that doesnt matter because I bought a bluetooth adapter which means I can tsf songs from my comp to the phone anytime I want, and I can free up the clutter in the phone.
Phone plus adapter = $98 plus $40 = $138. It is still cheaper than $228.
z520i had been released for 2 mths, and the samsung phone had been out for 4.
I didnt get to see an operating version of samsung530, but I think the outer screen just shows a clockface when my z520i shows time, and shows photo id and takes pics in the outer screen!
It's fantastic!
Also, because the phone is of a similar release date as k750i, I suspect even later actually, mashi's stash of goodies in her phone can be passed to me. I've got a expensive looking LV theme on my phone now.
Her phone and her da ge's phone not quite compatible actually.
I am absolutely happy at my buy. I hadnt been this happy for ages! The reason why this entry is logged this late is because I had been spending my time playing with my z520i.
I am really one happy lady.
=)
