This holiday, the most "wonderful" thing that happened to me....
My dear mobile phone died on me~
Not once..
BUT TWICE!!!!
Thanks eh, my dear..
The telephone dialler just won't appear, that's a major fail on a full touchscreen phone, cos it perfectly eliminates the ability to dial any number.
Dug out my warranty card from the packaging box (i chucked it one side very soon after i bought my phone.. effectively ignoring the manual... so everything else's pretty intact)
Yeah! Still under warranty, bought it on 7 Oct 2009..
Holla, called up Nokia careline to ask, told to reset the phone back to factory settings, it didnt help..
Made it worse, phone hang at least 4 times, had to force shut it down and restart.
And was told that the Tamp service ctr's ceasing operations the very next day.. I'd to go all the way to either Vivocity or Causeway Point..
Central-South vs North..
Both FARRRR.. for Eastsider neh~
--------
Last sunday, i collected my hp, thinking all is well~
Changed the touchscreen & upgraded software..
Then on wed, incoming call, the moment i answered, my phone went dead. Eh???
What happened? I switched it on, dialled the number, just as it connected, my phone went dead again..
WHAT?!?!??? A phone that refuses to make & answer calls????????????????????????
Awesome, tested several more times, asking YW to call me and stuff, the most i can only hear her go "Hello?" b4 my phone auto-shutdown.. Wasted some $ in these tryouts.. Ahhhhhh..
Went to Nokia service ctr at Vivocity (oh yes, 3rd time!) on the last day of my warranty..
The staff still ask me whether i want to buy the extended warranty (can only buy b4 warranty ends) --- $50 for additional year..
Wahlao, u think i still want meh??
Phone repair once already still spoil, if this time after their repair still spoil.. I wanna change phone already ya!
Either their phones not gd or their repair services CMI..
Now, after they changed the battery cover gasket (no idea what's gasket) and something else at the back of handset..
1st repair: Changed the front part of handset
2nd repair: Changed the back internal part of handset
What else is there left to repair?
The sides of handset?
Perhaps..

Today, went to hospital~ accompany my mum & bro to A & E dept..
Cos my bro's sick... had fever & kept vomitting, even after an injection to stop vomitting..
That injection worked for me months ago when i was really sick, vomitting every hour till i vomit water~
But it didnt work for my bro, so needed to go hospital for the drip, battling dehydration..
Waited outside since only 1 visitor's allowed per patient..
Watched the world go by while sitting outside A & E dept..
It's busy even though it's a weekday afternoon..
Public/govt hospitals are like that, so dun expect superb service given the workload they're facing everytime of the day~
Long waits + some screw ups along the way
Almost an hour after we reached home in a cab, received a call fr A & E dept, saying we left a pack of medicine there..
But the counterstaff only showed my bro 4 packets of medicine & thats what we took home, godknows why there's 1 more packet left at the pharmacy.. It's not as if we dropped it or sth.. It wasn't even given to patient in the first place~
Not gg back to fetch that forgotten pack of medicine..
If u're rich, should just go to private hospital, aha..
But u may faint when u see the hospital bill, it costed almost $1000 for less than a day there..
