@ 9:48 PM

It coming to the end of the weekends in a few hours time and a few interesting things happened today.

BEWARE: This is gonna be a super wordy and crappy post.

Situation One

I was standing around the counter and the staff asked me to help this lady with her phone's problem as they are busy. And so, I approached the lady to assist her.

She then showed me her phone and talked to me as though I am the one who made her phone spoil.

Lady : Hey! Why my phone the contact save already cannot see?! What happened?!

Me : Uhh. Lem....

Lady : You see ah, I save number 9#$%@#%#$ then I press save... then I go menu... then i go contacts... NEH! DON'T HAVE! What happened?! (Me : -Roll eyes-)

Me : Can I see the phone? - Reaching out my hand -

Lady : You see, I show you again.. - Grabbing her phone tightly -

Me : Okay, I know what you mean, can I see?

Lady : - Finally lets go of phone -

After figuring out for awhile, I realise her phone is so weird that it requires her to choose an icon for her contact and then it would save, so I tried saving, and showed her.

Lady : Show me again. How you do, show show.

Me : Uh okay. So you have to choose an icon before saving. So from here, you go into Menu, press Contact then pr......

Lady : Wait wait.. Not so fast

Gosh! You call it fast?! I believe friends who conversed with me before should know my talking pace isn't that fast right.

Well, after settling her, she left without even saying thank you. How polite..

Situation 2

Again, I was standing around the counter area with nothing to do..

OKAY, the fact is, I really have nothing to do at the shop because I don't even have any stocks to sell so even if I promote, I have nothing to sell to customers. So all I did was just to linger around the shop playing with my phones. SHIOK!

Back to the situation.

The staff asked me to take out the phones (in boxes) from the glass shelf to show to customer, or rather, an auntie. She was deciding which colour to get, and she started prying open the SEALED box to see the colour. Luckily the staff saw and stop her in her act, else the phonebox have to be send back to warehouse. After being stopped, she started asking many questions about paying $0 for the phone, the staff showed her different models, but she wanted one with good features some more.

Free one, still want good features. Go buy paper and glue to make one yourself.

Situation 3

Two of this China guy came to ask about the Mobile broadband signup and such, and asked if the contract is compulsory and can they pay the amount in advance so that they would not have to pay penalty charges if they terminate the contract.

They thought it is installment.

And they started asking the staff to negotiate a one year contract for them so they don't have to pay the penalty charges.

Funny craps.

Situation 4

Another 2 China guy came to ask me about iPhones while I was eating.

C. man : Hello, how much is the iPhone now with contract?

Me : Currently this store ran out of iPhone already.

C. man : Okay, but how much will it be?

Me : $678 with the cheapest plan of $25.68 a month

C. man : 3G ?

Me : 3Gs.

C. man : -frown- 3G ?

Me : 3G-essssssss

C. man : -frowns more- 3G right?

Me : -Seeing that he totally got no clue what is the S for- Arrggh. Yes. -.-

C. man : Then still have to pay monthly bill ah?

Me : Yes, $25.68 a month

C. man2 : WHOA! Pay $678 still need pay bills.....

C. man : My friend pay $256 only lei

Me : They paying more per month for their bill lor.

C. man2: So expensive huh.. Got cheaper?

Me : Even if you want now, I have no stock for you. - shouting HEY GET LOST C MANS! in me -

C. man2 : Okay then..

Situation 5

While strolling home with my SOS, a old jogger approached us and told us that he dropped his phone midway as there is a hole in his pocket and he went home to call and the phone was still ringing, so he came out to look for it again.

my SOS then got the old man's number and offered to call so that the old man could hear the ringing while backtracking to find his phone.

Just when my SOS said "Whoa, having this kinda grandpa is cool! He is well versed in English." while ringing the old man's phone, there was this voice which came roaring (in chinese) "HELLO HELLO? Hey thank you for helping me! I found my phone already. Thank you for calling so I can hear it. Thank you so much."

And all the SOS can reply in Chinese was "不客气“ cause his English was too powderful.

We are happy that we manage to help this old man find his lost item and made someone happier. :)

LASTLY!

I seriously hate those people who commit suicide by jumping onto MRT tracks, off buildings, off bridges. Just hate people committing suicide in public places.

You just cause major inconvenience to people, imagine you jumping onto MRT tracks, you not only delay the whole MRT at that station, you affect the whole train service going along that route. Now we have those en-route services like Circle Line, etc, which you can transfer to make travelling more convenient. And just because of your idiot thinkings, EVERYONE is affected.

Can you imagine? What if there are students who are rushing for school, exams, CCA or some events? What if there is someone who is trying to rush to meet someone for something important, or meet some client, rushing for work?

Will there be any kids around and your idiot act might just cause the child to be traumatised for a long time? Will anyone who is overcoming from depression or the lost of one loved one who happen to be around to feel more pain and hard to get out from that painful cycle? Will anyone just feel so traumatised that they would not want to go to that station anymore?

Or do you want foreigners to think that Singapore's train tracks are famous for people who are pea-brained to jump onto to commit suicide?

YOU IDIOTS NEVER SPARE A THOUGHT FOR PEOPLE OR YOUR COUNTRY, NEITHER YOUR LOVED ONES BEFORE COMMITTING SUICIDE!

What I suggest is, you stay at home, take a knife and poke yourself to death. No harm done.

Else you go to the hospital, go to the A&E department, tell the people there that you want to die, but before that, please sign the agreement to donate all your organs away. At least people will still thank you even if you die.

And maybe you will go to heaven, or maybe halfway there...

That's all for today.

Long and super wordy post.

Bye World.
