a great valentine's day
i left the office at 1pm cos i was entitled to a half day off.i met keong at the lobby. we went to tampines mall. had lunch at pizza hut cos he wanted to have pizza. i had a spagetthi set meal and he had pizza set meal. the spagetthi sucks! it tasted like insecticide somehow.after lunch, we went to do our own shopping for an hour cos i have yet to get his valentine's day pressie. i went to tampines 505 to enquire about 6670's price. i crossed the road and walked past the shop. i just couldnt bring myself to walk over to the shop and ask the salesperson all alone. i feel the jitters. so, i called grace and talk to her for awhile. then, i took a deep breathe and picked up my courage to walk to the first shop. they quoted me 380 for 2nd hand. after explaining to him that i chose his shop because that was the place my bro and i bought our handphones, he gave me a $10 discount that doesnt really help.feeling a lil less jittery, i went to the 2nd shop and they didnt have any 6670. i walked ahead to the 3rd shop and they quoted 330 for 2nd hand. feeling happy, i asked if it is local set and the lady said yes. i asked to test the phone but i didnt know how to check if the phone is local or export. i told the lady that i'll think about it. i called my only god-brother, alvin. he told me a few things to check for.i went back to the shop and checked the phone. i realised the phone didnt have any of the things that alvin told me to check for. i figured out that it wasnt local set so i gave it a miss. i bet the lady thought i was weird because i took out a 6670 from my pocket. besides that, i must have behaved abnormally cos i was alone and nervous.feeling disappointed, i crossed over to the other side of the shops. decided to try my luck at the last shop which is operated by a couple. been there to do survey so i knew they were really nice people. i wasnt very hopeful as the signboard outside the shop stated that their sole-distributor is singtel. i went in and enquired about the phone. the guy quoted 350. i asked to take a look at the phone. at the same time, i checked to make sure that it had the few things that alvin told me to check for. wanted to be cautious, i asked a few more questions. satisfied with it, i bought the phone.happily, i walked back to tampines mall. tried calling keong but i couldnt get through. finally, i saw him coming up the escalator behind me. gave him his pressie and we found a place where he could change the sim.then, we went to check out the movies available. he decided on "fun with dick and jane". while waiting for the show, we went to starbucks. he bought me the very first drink that he got for me. at 5pm, i suggested that we go check out cakes. went to all the cake shops in the 2 malls.just before we went to the cinema, we bought small packets of chips from the supermarket. went to the cinema, bought popcorn and drink. the show wasnt that bad.after the show, we bought vegetables and chicken. took a long ride back to his place. dinn was chicken stew and a plate of vegetables with porridge-rice. :X i took some time to read the magazine i bought. then, he sent me down to take a cab home.its been a great day. although its just watching movie, hanging around, walking around but i seldom have the chance to do so. not a day full of surprises but a simple and heartwarming day. thank you for your pressie, i love it~!!!
