Sleep is good for the body and soul

Just a random post here.

Its rather scary to wake up one afternoon (yes afternoon) assuming you're alone at home to ...

hear voices.. (i thot mabe im dreaming or something)
then i opened the door and almost ran smack into my mei mei and her friend and the tiny living room looked like a battleground.

They are doing their project (on revamping the Tiong Bahru estate) and apparently the group of 7 had split up the work according to
1. Flats/Houses
2. Carpark and Playground
3. Shops

My mei mei and best friend cum squad mate Po Ching took part 3. Hence what was lying all over the floor on newspapers are miniatures (or attempts at making miniatures) of biscuits, cakes and pretzels for the bakery and bananas for the fruit shop.

That's as far as they went with the clay, plasticine, poster colour and accompanying brushes and water.

I made a meagre contribution by donating my 'hotdog buns' and 'kuehs' miniatures and left them to continue chatting and painting and i went back to ...

sleep some more.
That's what 36 hours of staying awake does to me ... .

My phone has been going coo coo for the longest time and I finally threw the towel and got a new phone at Singtelshop.com BEFORE 21 months. With just 6 weeks left, I gave up the battle to save 100 bucks. This is the first time ever, i change a phone before the 2 yr plan is up.
SO you c, SIngtelshop.com charges 30 bucks less than the hello shops, and they DELIVER to your doorstep.

Sounds nice? yeah it is.. except for one thing..

MY PHONE WAS SPOILT.
Of the hundreds, mabe thousands of Nokia handsets they have, I got the spoilt one.
I got a stupid, wacko bimbo phone! It took like 5 seconds for the screen to 'react' when i slide it open. When i slide it close, the screen would turn blank. Oooh.

ANd it couldn;t read my SIM card either.
So after being put on some crap music and listening to 'ALl our customer svc officers are engaged at the moment' over and over, the CSO who spoke to me said my sim card is not compatible with the new phone.

And so i went to the Hello shop at West Mall at 8pm and waited an hour before i finally got my phone changed. (It can read my sim card)

During which i had to contend with a toddler banging against my paper bag and basically climbing all over the couch we're supposed to be sharing amicably. I escaped to MOS to buy myself a MOS tea instead.
