Friday, April 21, 2006 10:01 AM ;||*it doesn't lie to be daddy's girl*|| Let me tell you a story. a funny story, indeed.. yesterday, the forgetful dad went to work without his handphone. so he made a u-turn to get his handphone (like ive said, noone can live without a hp, even my dad. heh!). being the nicest daughter, i waited patiently at the gate with his handphone in my hand, ready to hand it over to him. soon after, he came. handed him his hp and he handed me a brochure. "what is this?" i asked. and his replied was: it's 6280,the latest 3G hp which is on hotdeal for today and tomorrow only. what do you think of the hp? i took a quick glance at the features of the hp and went "hmm, not bad." i wasn't much interested though cause, hello, my dad never will buy a 3G phone which is superbly expensive and i mean, what's the big point? "let's exchange phone. you take my phone, and i'll take your phone. i'll try to ask the salesgirl how much she will take your phone if i trade in." "haha,but.." the minimum a nicest salesperson will take is $70, dad. what exactly can $70 compare to a 3G phone which in this case cost $600+?? i swear i wanted to add those sentence but i don't want to kill dad's enthusiasm on asking a salesgirl what's the trade in price. so, we did exchanged phone and oh god, all my contacts are saved in that phone. shit, the worst has come. i have to live a day with a hp without any contacts and god damn it, it felt so uncomfortable. but nevermind, sometimes it's okay to let dad have his way..grr. later in the afternoon, i had my tuition at tampines, so i have no choice but to drag that hp in my bag. worst; it doesn't store any nice ringtones, and the only ringtones you can find are all those default ones, which sounds totally retarded. like, eyes will be on you even before you realise that that silly ringtone is from your hp, goondoo! so to avoid being the goondoo, i switched it to silent mode. after tuition, i desperately wanted to call preetyboy but that phone was giving me problems after problems. i wonder how dad can survive with this phone. there was no reception at all. and when everytime i switched off and on it back, this message will appear: simcard failed to register. damn! went home feeling so pissed off. the home phone rang soon after and it was dad. "dik, what do you think of the phone? im now at a handphone shop and they say they'll take $100 trade in for your phone." i gasped. $100?! how freaking cool is that? no, it must be dad's persuasion. afterall, he's the coolest dad. gee. "okay, what you have to do now is get ready your phone's box with the charger and earpiece inside. i'll pick you up very soon and we'll go down to the shop together." 9.30pm. you mean NOW??! this is so exciting cause it's only once in a blue moon that you can see he's excited like a ten year old kid who is excited to get his birthday present. hahahaaa. got all the things ready and here we go! on our way there, dad handed me a phone. i though it was my phone but no, i could have sworn i almost felt like jumping when dad handed me the 6280 that he was talking about. "ey, you bought it already? then why are we going to the shop again?" i asked. and dad claimed that the salesgirl (so it WAS really a salesgirl, ha!) forgot to take out all the necessary documents in the box. so she pleaded dad to return back to the shop so she can get all the documents done. and also, dad wants me to get familiar with the phone. double coolness! "wah girl! your dad very nice one lei. buy for you new handphone. 3G somemore. latest you know!" i just laughed and gave her the look 'didn't you know that he's the coolest dad?'. "okay. everything's done. nah, your new phone! oh, your dad told you to choose a handphone casing." choose a handphone casing?? i was very much flattered. chose the pink one, ofcourse! and did she just say everything's done? what about the payment? don't i have to pay for the phone? then i saw the printed document she was holding and it stated 'PAID'. paid?! dad paid for the phone?? can i jump? can i jump? can i jump? can i jump? now, how do you feel when someone surprised you with a 3G phone? (excited la, ofcourse!) and what do you do when you get a phone that you once think it will never be yours? (say thank you zillion of times, but you thumb couldn't stop exploring the features of the phone. haha.) last, what will you do with the phone? (explore it till 3am, sleep with it. wake up and search for it on your bed. explore it again. smile.) no wonder there's no reception earlier on, cause the salesgirl has cut off my line. silly me went to swing my phone in air like some retarded girl, just to get the reception. hmmph! on top of all that, say goodbye to my old phone and say hello to the new phone! hmm. im still that old dad's girl despite the fact that im already nineteen. hoho! today's plan: last outing with preetyboy, panata and nas-sae. i can't wait for the movie showdown! suntec, here we come! who says a bandaged-foot girl can't go all the way to Suntec? with the help of preetyboy's sp, nothing is impossible. hahahaaa. "im still a daddy's girl.." :D That's It For Today. Goodbye.
