Wah i have been neglecting my blog, many has happens over the past few weeks, things that worth mentioning ( or u might think u couldn't be bother hahaha)
Anyway, last Monday i finally make up my mind and go sign the mobile contract for 3 and got a free phone, am stuck with 3 network and will be entitle to pay $29 a month even when i went back Malaysia for holiday, it's the trade of for the free phone, i don't really need that louya phone but it's just desire, i felt that i will regret if i didn't go for the free phone, louya but it's still newer compare to my N70, yet my N70 got all the nice features i want hahaha. There are other phone to choose from as well but all the free one has some cacat features associated with them, no choice, i didn't want to spend that much on mobile phone, it's the matter of self control.
I was thinking nokia and sony slide phone only at first since been wanting a slide phone but well guess that have to wait till i graduate, maybe, those phone really all got unsatisfied cacat features but it's more practical to own, either way i will be regreting at some point so i go for something that have something that my phone don't have and i can play with for a while.
I was struggling between Samsung and LG,to be frank i prefer samsung cos it got pink hahahaha LG one well u have to admit in nice way of saying, simple and cool, to put it roughly, it will be boring, but when i check up the review online somehow samsung that model didn't get a good review, mainly complaining about it sound quality and cutting of people's call half way thru the conversation. That put me off since those 2 are like the most important feature for a mobile phone, at least jangan kacau me when am using it.
Signing the contract well the whole process is blur for me, i just went in give them my passport, bank statement and student ID and said no to any other offer that just increase the amount of money i have to pay for the bill, mobile internet is nice when am bored while sitting there like an idiot waiting for my next class but it's really just a luxury. I already spend way too much time online everyday, i need time when i can stay away from it, not very keen with the idea of becoming even more addict to internet than i am now. Beside, really can't do much on mobile internet, u can't play with the Facebook application, no way am writing blog and emails on my mobile, and you can't youtube with 1gb, exceed that 1gb you will have to pay $100 for every 1gb, why would i wanna give myself extra pressure for that?
Well the whole offering, rejecting progress went like this, first she asked Do i wanna sign for cap and internet together, now it's $49 a month you get the usual $29 cap for your mobile + 1gb mobile broadband and they free u the wireless usb thing which u can stick to ur pc for free, i said no, i just want the 29cap for mobile. Then she asked again do i wanna paid $5 extra a month for mobile internet along with my 29cap, the better choice is $8 a month cos can use a lot more compare to the $5, i said no, she ask u skype? i said no, and she was in this state of shock, aiyoh even if i use skype why would i pay extra and do on mobile, balik rumah use my pc lah (paid edi and it give me even better deal! $12 and got way more bigger quota to use) and beside my mum internet skill is stuck at the level where she think Youtube is very hard to use -_-|| cos of the issue of typing chinese word so she rather stick to Tudou since can easily find the drama she wanna watch on one of the recommended playlist. Tudou is too slow lah~ oh well, she stick to my suggestion of open the video, pause it, let it load while she went to do housework, gardening, cooking, reading newspaper and books etc... (aiyah change topic pula~) My friend all don't use skype, i think they all edi wanna scream "halleluya" whenever they can online freely in their uni -_-
Anyway after the shock she asked how about msn and facebook, i answer everyday, then she said oo then it shud be handy to u blah blah madaku, tiap-tiap hari online at home edi, why would i wanna stay online when i was in the lecture and bus, distract me only and i doubt i would wanna do more screen staring (on even smaller screen), so obviously i said no need. Then she ask wanna pay eh i forgot how much but it's under $10 and get a i think $100 or more credit to call international to malaysia landline, siao ah, why would i do that, it is very cheap in term of mobile rate yes but i already have better option which i have been using for years~ Once again she kena shock.
Saleperson (SP for short): U didn't call back home?
Me: i did.
SP: then why you don't wanna consider this plan?
Me: I call using IDD card.
SP: it's cheaper to call directly with this plan
Me: mine is fine, i don't call with mobile anyway (siao ah using mobile, imagine the amount i have to pay!! $)
SP: then how u call?
Me: Land line. $0.20 only. and i edi entitle to pay for it for my internet must use it!!
SP: Oo (with the look that she haven't got out from the shock but really what so shocking there? normal bah, 5/10 people i know do the same, 5/10 use msn and skype, ceh, lack of common sense maybe? too into this high tech stuff)
Beside landline only in malaysia can only call my mum mah, u all in KL or JB, all live in college, rely on mobile phone to communicate with outside world deh what use is it! Beside my $8 IDD last me 2 months way cheaper. Then she ask do i wanna try out the free mobile broadband, free for 3 month and after that i can contact the customer service to cancel it, the plan include 1gb internet usage on the mobile plus $500 free 3 to 3 calling with the condition : have to hang up every 10 minutes otherwise it will charge differently and have to pay, cis, such an inconvinient thing! $500 leh how many 10 minutes call i have to make to use it ah and i really hate to have to stare at time when talk on phone mah! but since i reject so many offer edi paiseh paiseh it's free so i give face to her and accept that lah, edi got it liao i got try it out, really lucky i didn't agree any mobile internet offer, i really don't enjoy it much hahahaha beside 3 $29cap come with free unlimited weather and news, got other option too like Fun and entertainment but that pretty useless in my opinion, news and weather more practical, at least am using it.
Finally get it done and got my new sim cards and mobile phone. The other saleperson who suddenly take at look with my detail suddenly exclaim, U r malaysian ah!! i though u are chinese, u don't look malaysian and u been silently standing in line there just now? WHAT IS THAT!! what's wrong with standing in line, then shud she also said the ang mo standing next to me also not aussie lol! she also from china is it! jilaka deh! I can assure u i don't speak english like those chinese, it's not the insult to chinese but i don't speak or try to imitade american assent like those chinese, ang mo can understand what i said most of the time with no problem, i didn't get my band 8 in IELTS for nothing! (though i think my english speaking edi merosot edi) The fact that i don't include excessive, unecessary Lah in my speaking didn't make me less malaysian, there still lah in my english. Another ignorance people! Okay lah my mandarin when speaking to chinese don's sound that malaysian anymore but that's just mean i speak accurate chinese bah~ all chinese can tell am not from china just by listening, why would i speak malaysian mandarin to them, they don't even understand the word kacau, longkang, siao, 78 etc~ Am just flexible by natural, adapt myself when speaking with different people so i don't have to waste energy and time explaining myself. But i didn't speak a word in mandarin when am in that shop~ anyway whatever~
My number for 3 is different since i kept my vodafone, that phone cannot type chinese or read so any chinese word will apear as square square, stupid. Just continue sms me on my vodafone/ N70, easier and convinience for u too esp if you wanna include chinese word, i might reply to u using 3 phone though hehehe~
