TB31 celebrated maycee and my birthday together this day last week and I haven't blogged about it!
to be honest, the celebration was more for maycee la lol. but then never mind la, imagine a bit liao still okay haha...
still, have to thank anqi huihui dacia and justin for the present (which I can already guess without opening the box lol) and for their idea (I believe).
they went JP, which is kinda like the home ground for me. so I brought them around lo and eventually we ate at ajisen.
the spicy ramen like not as spicy as the one at bugis junction. next time I take the mountain one haha. ok kidding.
we ended up being 20 over minutes late for the movie. wanted to watch Curious Case of Benjamin Button at first but nobody liked to sit in first 3 rows. so we changed to Red Cliff 2, but apparently simon and his friend watched before. sorry!
majestic is majestic la. the story may be slightly slow but its alright I guess, thanks to the amount of action.
its funny how anqi and dacia went to buy present and cake but got lost trying to find their way back and called me, but was extremely anxious to not let me go find them. justin eventually went lol.
anyway eventually they passed us the presents and sang us birthday song for second time (first was at ajisen when we cut the cake) just outside the JP1 side entrance then we went back after that. poor hup song reached home at around 12.30am I think lol.
anyway, I would like to thank (in alphabetical order) anqi dacia esther huihui hupsong justin maycee simon and his friend (sorry forgot your name!) and yujia for bothering to attend this.
even if without the celebration part, I still think it is cool to have a class outing with a not bad attendance like this. so thank you for coming!
and here is the present:
a little card there as well:

after much procrastination (contract expired since Dec 2008), I decided its time to get a new phone. Nokia 3120c is a backup phone, and it should remain that way so any one in my family can fall back on that if their mobiles fail.
at first I wanted to get the Nokia N85, but its price has been stuck at $538 ever since its $298 promo ended somewhere early December 08. so I decided to look around elsewhere.
then I chanced upon the Samsung i900 Omnia and Samsung F480 while browsing through the touchscreen LCD at JP2's hello@SingTel shop. both are touchscreen, which I thought will be a nice change. and both are cheaper than N85. so I looked online for info about them.
along the process, I found more phones, some cheaper (LG Viewty KU990 and LG Secret KF750), some more expensive (Samsung Pixon and INNOV8, HTC Touch HD), some off the market (HTC Touch Diamond, main rival of Omnia). so I was really confused and tempted at the same time.
eventually I just bought the Omnia cos the camera is significantly better than F480, runs on Windows Mobile and it fits my large hands better, even if a lot more expensive. I justified by saying I only change once every 2 years (which is really dumb but really true).
so I bit the bullet and got my new baby this wednesday.
so here is the box:
how the phone was placed in the box:
starting up...
so I am trying to get used to it now. smsing takes a bit of learning, so please bear with me in the meantime.

melissa has fractured her leg on the fateful first day of the CNY. after delaying treatment for 11 days (she went to chinese sinseh which actually makes bone injuries worse. they are useful for sprains. a little info sharing here.), she was put on a cast only last thursday.
with that cast, she cant move around properly so I went over to her house to keep her company for much of this week. its rather uneventful so I wont go on about it, but for today...
I bought some roses for her for valentine's day. had it delivered since I am not sure if I could keep the roses fresh till today myself.
she likes it. but I expected like ten times more emotion when she received it, like crying screaming and all that stuff. but dont have. slight disappointment.

and I also finally sent the notebook for service today (yesterday actually considering its nearly 3am). I emphasised multiple times that more should be done since I had to service it 5 times. the CSO named Daryl Khoo promised that they would check if they should replace the mainboard as well.
looking forward to their phonecall on monday. if they dont replace the motherboard, I will try my utmost best with a mixture of threat and plea to make them do so.

the only studying I did this week was on Thursday. ended up not studying much as I ended up chatting and playing facebook games with yujia and esther.
I was quite sad about thursday cos I felt I could not help them as much as I had promised. my business stats wasn't that good after all. sorry!
anyway, this simply means I have a lot of studying left with time running out by the second. seeing how everyone had already gotten into their revisions, its high time I stop being such an ass and really sit down and revise.
its really time to study, and I hope I can do just that starting tomorrow. good luck to everyone for the finals too!
