$90

Woke up super early this morning, with the intention of meeting John and going to the service center at Wisma, before heading back to school to continue with my NEWDC stuff.

At around 8.30, John called me and ask me where am I. He said the teachers are not waiting for me already. I have to make my own way there.

*stuns*

Only then I realised that John is going to Orchard at 8.30 for the D & T Technical Course or something. Something which I didn't even receive notice for. I only heard about it from Gordon, but Mr Kor never call me or anything.

Moments later, John called me again and said that my name is not on the list, so he don't think that I can enter.

Problem 1 solved, coz I did not have any intention of going in the first place; I did not even get any information about it.

Then there comes problem 2.

Standing in front of the Sony Ericsson Service Center @ Wisma, I realise that it is opened only at 11.

*Checks my watch* 8.55am

Damn. So it means that I have 2 hours to kill before I can actually step into the shop. So I called Ze Wei to tell him that I'll be late, so I ask him to start on the video first. Guess what. He has to leave at 12. So it'll be brainless to ask Timothy to stay, so I told Ze Wei to CALL Timothy to inform him that he don't need to go school anymore.

Problem 3 'settled'

So I started my little walk around Orchard, walking from Borders to Wisma, then from Wisma back to Borders, then over to Shawhouse, then to Cineleisure, and to Wisma, and finally to Borders where I spent 1 hour looking at CDs.

Along the way on my little adventure, there were some girls asking for donation (CIP). I was at a roadside Old Chang Kee, buying some food to makan. They were at least 25m away, but still, I OVERHEARD their conversation.

Sound diffused over to my side la.

Girl 1: Now so early, Orchard so empty leh.

Girl 2: That guy over there.

The minute I turn around, one girl pop in front of me, holding her can out to me with that innocent look. Then the Angel and Devil started fighting

Angel: Donate la, she is so ke lian

Devil: Just say no. Why be so nice

In the end, the Angel won. I opened my wallet, and realised that I only have a 1 dollar coin. I gave it to her anyway.

So I continued my adventure until I thought it was time to get back to the Service Center. Bloody hell, they said that my phone is considered a 'Tampered Set', coz that time I drop the phone the cover came off, so they say they don't take in models like that.

ALL THAT 2 HOUR WAIT FOR NOTHING!

Obviously I wasn't too happy. Around that time, Timothy's father called me, ask me why I ask Timothy to go school but I'm not there, and Timothy is waiting there for me. Apparantly he never switch on his phone, so he did not see Ze Wei message.

#$%!@^&*()

Kept apologising to his father. Damn paiseh lor.

I was in a pretty foul mood. Then I decided to go to Si Mei branch and try my luck since I wasn't in a hurry to go school.

It was much better. Luckily they still accept my phone, but mine is stil considered a tampered set, so it will be a 'Out of Warrantly' serive. Overall I'll be getting a new front cover, a new keypad, software problem fixed, new earphones, and the 2 buttons at the top of my phone will be replaced.

And that would cost 90 bucks, excluding the 7% GST. Ow. Heart pain.

Then went back to school to continue my work. Reached school around 1.30. Left at 4 plus.

I should really get started on my tuition homework.
