new phone!!!

Well… I got my new phone finally after waiting for the whim of my sister to assert itself in the right direction and she decides the time is convenient enuff for her to go register for our plans. I was a bit pissed the other day, cos she got the phone on the evening of the zoo trip and stayover, and got the wrong colour, of all things… so now I have a k700i in silver instead of light blue. Sigh. I guess I could have got angry but I dunno… whats the point. Went back to the singtel shop at causeway point but they said they don’t have an exchange policy, tho I did try to bluff them by saying that the counter staff at the NUS singtel shop said ‘I could to go to a bigger store to change the unit’. Yeah. The guy just gave me a slightly amused expression and said sorry no such thing (basically) and babbled on about whatnot I don’t care what cos it just meant Haha You Loser Change Your Phone Colour My Ass. Whats worse the nite b4 my sis had taken my old phone from me, demanding that she NEEDS to use it tmrw, she even called me an asshole and flung stuff around as she stomped away after I told her ‘I’ll give to u on Saturday? Its only one more day.’ later she came to my room and did more demanding that she NEEDS to use it, WHY must u use it tmrw, WHATS so impt abt u that u HAVE to use it tmrw as well u faggoty little bookreading pimply toad. (it is strange the way the she makes some words sound capitalized. And how she can squeeze zo much insult into a few sentences, as if she owned the world and I was really just a stray particle/neuron in her piles of quantum/psychology gumbo)

I was angry, yes, so annoyed by her double standards, that she felt it imperative that she use the phone immediately while she made me wait from Monday til Thursday b4 she felt like going to buy my phone. There’s a singtel shop right in NUS for goodness sake, she says she’ll go Monday then Sunday nite says she doesn’t feel like going to school tmrw, she goes out tuesday and doesn’t buy it, on Tuesday nite says she’ll buy it on Thursday cos Wednesday is too inconvenient. Bluddy poodles. In the end she buys it on Wednesday after putting me up to wait til Thursday, and b4 I could tell her what colour I wanted it in. Poodles!! Chihuahuas!! Ach. Then Thursday nite she demands to use my phone after making everything.

Of course, I decide not to tell her how I feel. It would be like asking a troll to stop hiding under the bridge and eating poor little goats trying to get to the other side, and you can feel deep down inside you are one of them Poor Little Goats feeling like the other side suddenly looks not only greener but now also comes with big pearly gates and many fluffy angel things. It is not a pleasant life with an older sister like this one.

In the end I hand over my old phone, which truth be told she’d already paid the $70 trade-in value for on Thursday nite. Friday I go without a phone and fail to change my silver k700i for a light blue one. At least… now I have a nice phone that doesn’t drive me crazy trying to press the down button, keypad 1, keypad 4 and (sometimes in aircon rooms. weird)the hex button. And it comes with a camera, but unfortunately I have no means of uploading mp3s or pictures or anything to it cos this stupid com don’t even have a basic USB port and the only functional computer in the entire house is in the hands of a bridge troll that eats poor little goats. Still, a camera’s a camera, and the phone IS cool looking and has a super chic display theme and 42 mb of memory, which has gotta mean it can store more than 14 msgs. Verily, I love it. Even if it isn't light blue.
