Orchard Conquered...

For the 1st time ever, a phone malfunctioned while it's still in my poession... I found my beloved [SE W960i] not responding to my finger taps on its touch screen in the morning of [Christmas' Eve]... Horrified, I tried to more tapping to see if it works and it responded only once in a while... Other than tt, the all precious touch function is dead...

As a result of tt, I can't copy my contacts to my SIM card and I don't even know why my SIM card has only like 9 slots of free memory left... I can't delete my SMSes from my [Inbox] as I can't click on the 'More' button... Thankfully, I can still SMS ppl as well as receive calls, though it's a little troublesome navigating using the scoll thingy @ the side of the phone...

[Dad] came home in the afternoon and he passed me the replacement phone which I didn't use it till [Fri], only to find tt it's a worse off phone despite it being touch screen capable and all... The messenging system is crap and it doesn't auto-capitalise the next word after every period... And changing the text input mode is equally horrible when there're 13 different inputs and you've to go thru everyone of it to get to whatever you want...

And the phonebook is utterly craptastic... It can't recognise any numbers w/o the '+65' in front of it, which means tt practically every number in my SIM card can't be identified if the person called... LOL... It's @ times like this tt I thanked [Heaven] tt I'm not tt freaking popular as I didn't commit most of the numbers to memory...

[Sat] was the day I decided to head all the way to [Wisma] to attempt to get my phone serviced... I arrived @ the service centre just before it opened (I didn't arrive like 30 mins before tt la) and when it's my turn to be attended to, I found out, to my absolute distaste, tt the servicing of my phone cost a freaking $120... Tt's the cost to replace the whole front portion of my phone... I didn't follow up with it anyway as my dad later told me tt servicing the phone @ [Yew Tee] cost a mere $80, and they even have a mth's warrenty lor...

Yes, so [Yew Tee] it is...

In the meantime, I've gotta head over to [Cineleisure] to meet up with [Ah Ming] and his clique...

Both of us were early, so we decided to take a little walk to the 4th floor via the lift as my friend was a little apprehensive of the height and I showed him the selection of food tt's available in [Suki Sushi]... Then we took the lift to the next lv to check out the movie timeslots as he actually planned to watch a movie, being in [Cineleisure] and all, might as well what...

LOL... The prob though was tt he intended to catch a movie alone, which to me seems totally fine... But apparently, his sis and later, [SL] thinks otherwise... Oh well, I've to admit in this case tt I'm slightly... Different...

Haha... So, yeah... [SL] met up with us and he was rather shocked tt it's only the 3 of us... For some reason, his clique all suddenly decide tt eating @ [Suki] and catching a movie on a [Sat] is simply too expensive and in addition, it's during [Christmas], so with all the present buying and spending time with tt special someone, there's not enough time and money...

Okay, it's a little mean to say this, but as long as [SL] turns up, I'm more than satisfied le la...

[SL] was also on a tight budget, so when he heard tt it's $23.55 per pax, he flipped... But I still managed to convinced him to eat it, thanks to my superb marketing skills...

We spent only 2 hrs there and really, if [YH] or [MJ] or both of them were even present, they'll really be snorting with disgust @ the amt of food the 3 of us are eating... Combined, I think it's hardly like 50% of what either [MJ] or [YH] is capable of eating...

Nonetheless, it's still time well spent... Friends what...

[Ah Ming] and [SL] headed to [Kino] while I made haste back to [Orchard Stn] to meet up with [XP]... We then tried our very best to head over to [Far East Plaza] as fast as possible as the sky was totally overcast and fat droplets of rain is already beginning to fall from the sky and splattering all over my clothes...

We made it in time... Heng arh!!!

Initially, I planned to take a walk @ both [Far East Plaza] and [313@Somerset] as the latter has just opened and I've yet to even set foot in there... In the end, though, we spent like 3 hrs in [Far East], looking @ most of the stores from the 1st to the 4th floor...

[XP] spent like $70+ in tt day, with a purchase of a pair of jeans and some belt with funky looking designs on it... I on the other hand, only spent on the [Suki Sushi] buffet earlier and the some desserts tt cost $1.50, when [XP] wanted to eat some fried wantons...

Did chat abt some lots of stuff and during the train ride home, I attempted to kill [XP] by boring her to death with my talk on everything [MapleStory]... LOL...

Then today, I headed back to [Orchard Road], though this time, I actually honoured my words and stepped foot into [313@Somerset]... Tagged along with [Mum] and tt's a good thing cause in the event tt I ever buy anything, I don't have to pay a single cent... Lalalala~...

[Marche] was what we had for lunch... It was a spur of the moment decision and I think it was fuel by the talks I've had with [XP] the other day abt rosti... Needless to say, tt's what I had, with a gigantic chicken cheese sausage to go along with it... It's amazing how it's being priced... Just the fried shredded potato with a sausage and sour cream cost like $12.90... GAH... Haha... Well, once in a long while, it's still okay la... Had a crepe after tt very filling rosti and tt made me even more full to the extent tt I'm feeling slightly bloated...

[Mum] left even before I'm done with the crepe, so she handed me $$$ to pay for whatever I've ate and went to walk around 1st... Once I've ingested tt crepe, I was contemplating ordering yet another cheese cake... But on 2nd thoughts, there's no pt stuffing myself silly just because I like the food... Besides, I do believe tt if I eat anymore, I'm so gonna puke la... -_-"'

I started my exploration of the entire mall from the 4th floor and [Harris] is interesting... I almost couldn't resist flipping through a romance series which I've been loosely following... Thankfully, I stopped myself in time and continued checking the other stores out...

The store with the huge tadpole as it's sign was interesting... I caught sight of a tee with the words 'Leopard Preens' on it... Wahahaha!!! Truly funny!!! And the staff of tt store are not only kinda cute, they also have this jester-like headgear tt upped their cute factor even more la!!! *Swoons*

Damn... I'm being man-crazy again... Sheesh!!!

Did saw some interesting tops which I might consider buying... Guess on my next trip out of my house, if I ever saw something similar to what I've seen today, I'll might buy it le... After all, [CNY] is coming and tt's usually an excuse to buy more clothes to expand my pathetic waredrobe...

[Mum] completed walking the mall 1st, so I've no choice but to meet up with her... We initially decided to head to [Food Republic] to have desserts and/or grab a drink... But the final outcome was tt I was doing dessert and [Mum] was doing an early dinner of prawn noodles... -_-"'

Was completely bloated after I've consumed my [Guka Malaka] tt I couldn't have a proper meal... So I decided to settle for yogurt once again and @ 2300 hrs, 4 hrs after I've ate tt delicious yogurt, I'm still freaking bloated!!! GAWD!!! -_-"'
