Lg And The Xmas Madness

I must be out of my mind to be in town on xmas eve. Since I have half day off work, decides to meet up with Nora cuz I wanted to check out the new LG Viewty phone. Was thinking of upgrading my mobile.. yes.. my current LG Shine is only 6mths old, but LG viewty has a 5 mega pixel mobile phone camera and since I don't feel like paying S$700 for it (like what my nephew did), thought it was a pretty good deal at S$198 (with S$200 trade in phone)... uhh how can I pass it up right??? Plus its a has 3 inch touch sensitive screen with ISO 800 and smart light.



So there I was checking out the phone display and finally making up my mind to trade in my LG shine. Low and behold I was told the phone was out of stock!!! Gaspeth!! How can that be?? Guess everyone been reading up and checking out the LG and comparing them to the Iphone.

The customer service ask if I would like to reserve my piece and of course I said YES!!!! They will called me in about a week once the stock is in. In the meantime, I have time to think about it, cuz in reality I'm still fond of my LG Shine.



Now on another topic....

What is it about xmas that makes folks go shopping frenzy like they done gone lost their bloody minds. And I ain't even talking about folks celebrating xmas. I'm talking about 3/4 of the folks that don't but was busy buying up and shopping like there is no tomorrow. Practically ALL THE MALLS were pack with people holding on to their shopping bags for dear life. Kids crying cuz they lost track of their parents. Parent screaming for their kids cuz they lost track while busy looking at the Gucci bag on sales. It seems like the whole family is out in full force on this day, with grandparent, aunties and maids all in tows. It's madness!!

While I was still in town on eve of kissmiss, I've tried to snaps some pic of the xmas lights up at Orchard Road. It was just pure madness, caught in human and vehicle traffics, it was a mistake to be in town. Everyone have the same idea, everyone busy aiming, shooting, posing for pics and of course there are other who don't give a f*ck knowing full well you trying to snap a pic and they walk right into it..... sigh... thank gawd I ain't one of the *model* poser. All I wanted to do was have some pic of the xmas lights up. Guess the only time I can get a decent pic is when everyone is asleep at 3am. Perhaps next year...... may be. Anyway, I posted the pics here, plus others some pics.



WISHING ALL WHO CELEBRATES A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

your post was so funny, especially about the ppl who don't celebrate Christmas.
I tried to go to the supermarket at 6pm on Christmas Eve. Big mistake. Anyway, they were closed.

Hey, if you already have a great camera, why do you need a 5 mpx one on your phone? Does your old phone have a camera? And when are you gonna replace that tv anyway? I know you didn't ask my opinion. I'll just shut up now. ;)

(yes i noe its a lame excuse..lol). as for my tv..sigh.. i don't feel like getting a new one.. maybe i wait till it totally gone kaput. i'm surprise you remember my tv though..lol.
