Prada hp on my birthday

I haven't been updating for a long time.

My Lao gong bought a Prada hp on my birthday on that day itself. I was so happy.



But we caught up with some hiccups at M1. The Prada phone was selling at $488 for my plan as I was using the higher end plan. But the Customer Service Officer wanted to charge me at $688 by giving the reason that the promotion was over. I'm not stupid as I had given a call to M1 on that morning to confirm the price at $488. It's $200 difference. Not just $2.

I sarcastically told the person that M1 is so good that the price changed on the same day within 5 hours when I had made a call to M1 in the morning to confirm the price and even checked their system in M1 outlet.

I waited for more than 15 min (with a long queue behind me) for the person to check the actual price for me and the person confirmed the price of $488 saying that the price was specially for me as the system at M1 outlet was not updated and the price of $688 was correct. That means that the M1 Customer Service hotline system was not updated as well since the CS officer told me the price of $488.

M1 should update their "whatever" system to make minimal mistakes. It's not professional to have double pricing and make the customer wait. If I didn't call and check their system, Lao gong will be tricked to pay an additional of $200.

Despite the hiccup, I was happy to receive my new hp. It looks so elegant, like me. *cough*

After using it for around a month, I noticed that there are scratches on the phone. I have been looking for a screen protector but all the shops do not sell Prada hp screen protector.

Fingerprints are easily spotted as it is a touch screen hp. Messaging is slightly difficult on bus or car when the vehicle jerks and I will accidentally pressed the wrong "button".

Other than that, it's easy to navigate around without much complicated functions. To me, a hp is simply to call and message and must look good (on me). Of course, adding camera function is an added point because I can always take photos as and when I want because I do not like to bring my camera around.

Lao gong brought me to California Kitchen to eat on my birthday. I have to say the spaghetti - Marsala Marinara with additional prawns and chicken taste great! The prawn is fresh with a chrunchy bite. I give it 9/10.

We ordered the California Club pizza and it's just an average pizza although it's better than Pizza Hut. Luckily, the pizza is free as I have the Women's Weekly one-for-one voucher. Next, we ordered chocolate souffle cake with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. The cake just melts into the mouth lingering the mouth with a rich chocolatey taste. When combined with the vanilla ice-cream, it's heavenly.

It's always sweet to have Lao gong to accompany me on my birthday.

Phenomenon on bus and mrt

I have read in LD that there's an phenomenon that some foreign women find a seat by forcing themselves in between two people. So inconsiderate!

Luckily I never meet this before. If I ever meet with this type of experience, I think I will do something disgusting and make sure the person stands up.

Anyway I have sinus and can just sneeze and smear onto my pants, making sure my pants touch the person. If they are disgusting to squeeze in, I will make sure that I will be more disgusting than them. If they scold me or do the same to me, I will definitely scold them back and throw my whole bunch of medicine at them (as I have the habit to carry medicine) telling them that I'm sick and making sure everyone stands by my side. See who wins lor.

I have met with something similar in the mrt where guys like to spread their legs wide as though their dick is damn big and occupying my seat. I just kept on shaking my leg where the guy's leg touched my leg making sure he moved his leg away. Most of the time, it worked but this method failed once before. So I did the disgusting method by sneezing loudly and smeared my mucus onto my pants where he sat. And it works! The person quickly moved his leg away. Sinus is not a bad thing afterall.

So don't ever touch a Scorpio because she's always prepared to return back the "favor". Double.
