Joining the big family??

And so it's confirmed..
Iphone 4 is coming to Singapore this Friday..
Will I be queuing for it?
Looking at the ipad sales, I may have to queue from 12am (Thursday morning not Friday)..
Seems ridiculous..but there are people who may do it..

But it seems like a good phone..
Other than the reception problems..
But which phone doesn't have problems??
Maybe the problems are magnified just because it is so popular..
That if you put things in perspective, you will realise every phone has its problems..
Just that not many people are using it and nobody bothers to report..
Like my Nokia e71 which drops reception occasionally too..
Data reception is not too good too..
I am sure not many have heard of these problems..
Or nobody cares..

Well..
If it is cheap, comes with a free cover to solve the reception problem and they have stock, I will get it.
Maybe there are too many 3GS users already..so they won't upgrade..
Maybe I won't have to queue to get it..
Maybe all these will happen in my dream haha..

Lost my wisdom?

Took out my wisdom tooth on Tuesday..
Quite an experience..
Drilling of my bones..
I could feel my whole skull vibrate..
Various attempts to get the tooth out..clamps..pliers..
It turned out that my tooth had 4 legs..so it was hard work..

It certainly didn't help that my dentist was a female..
Who seemed to enjoy Lady Gaga songs..
She was singing along to Bad Romance while doing my stitches..
Luckily she wasn't singing along to Alejandro while plucking my tooth (although I like that song)..

But it's over..
With a swollen cheek now that made me look like I got punched..
But I can eat solid food now..
And I wonder if I can have alcohol on Friday..maybe just a little bit?

Well..but one of the shiok things can just be explained via the following conversation:-

Me: Go out and cheong again ah..how come so late online?
Friend: No la. Slept just now. Online to do some stuff then go sleep again. How come you are not sleeping?
Me: I don't have to work tomorrow. Is that a good enough reason?
Friend: Enough reason.

Now beat that hahaha!

Reflections

Today marks the start of the 2nd half of the year..
So what has made an impact in my life so far?

1. Made the landmark decision to stop betting on soccer (EPL etc.), after betting since JC. Only bet when I am going to catch the match or something. Which actually means I am betting on all world cup matches so far (4 years once leh). However, after the world cup, I probably won't be.

2. Learnt that it is hard to win money at a casino. Lesson learnt in Melbourne.

3. Learnt that there is a well known phrase "yuan de bu neng na", which means round one cannot take, which when spoken also means something in Indian (can somebody tell me?).

4. Learnt that other people in other countries (e.g. Australia) also have issues against people mentioned in point 3 above.

5. Learnt that it is actually quite shiok to have a tv screen on my left and a computer screen on my right (only for the world cup as I paid for it). Ok it is more than quite shiok.

6. Overcame my phobia of wine (since DND 2008). Drank all sorts of wine recently, in Melbourne and Singapore.

7. Enjoyed the high life with a stay at St.Regis, buffet lunch at Raffles Hotel etc.

8. Realised that I can never enjoy foot massage / body massage, as I am not meaty enough.

9. Learnt that there is someone who snores in a toilet cubical around lunch time. Talk about being tactical. If I encounter it the third time, I am gonna slam the cubical door beside to scare him.

10. Learnt that I can actually appreciate plays/musicals. Boeing Boeing next?

Ok, maybe some things above have negligible impact. But I didn't say how much of an impact, did I?
