N70

Dad got himself a new toy on 19/10/2207 - a Nokia N70 with a 1GB memory card which reduced his savings by about RM1400. First, the battery did not charge very well. This new phone was supposed to be charged for at least 7 hours, so the guy at the shop said. But it stopped charging after about 2 hours.
Took the phone and charger back to the shop. "Oh this charger not so good" said the guy at the shop and gave me another charger. Ok the replacement was charging well.
Second, could not connect to PC with USB cable. Colleague, Maidin, helped to connect using his bluetooth. Third, viewed the pictures taken earlier, very poor quality. Expected much considering this phone has a 2 mega-pixel lens camera. Back to the shop again and left the USB cable for them to test. The following day, still no news. Then took the phone to the service outlet at Ampang Park. After much haggling, they replaced the phone but not the cover. That is the last VV Shop will have my patronage. Once bitten, twice shy as they say.

Beach Holiday - The Beach

Cheryl & Chastan at the beach

First Cheryl didn't want to leave the hotel room. On seeing the beach, "wow this is great" , she didn't want to leave the beach.
But with the horses and their droppings, you wouldn't want to spend much time on the sand, would you?

Booked

Yesterday on the way to office was stopped by the Police, the so called Enforcers of Public Order and the Guardians of Peace, for an alleged traffic offence.
This is how it went.

PC: "IC." Taking my NRIC, he said "Lesen." After writing something, he gave me the book and said "Sain." Note license not checked.
On taking the Saman from the PC I said to him "Terima kasih" and the person sitting next to me said "and you want to thank him".

The PC spoke 3 words, I spoke 2 words and the person not involved spoke 6 words. Isn't it great, this world.
