Should I wait?
I need to change my phone! My viewty had been serving me well - very well indeed that I had actually used it for more than a yr! Haha.. its celebrating its 16th mth with me soon. The battery quality level drop badly. Now, after on a call, the battery will left with only 1 bar, after half an hr of charging, its will be full bar again..
OK! All excuses to get a new phone! haha... (But what I mentioned above is really the truth other than that, its really fine! esp the camera! haha..)
I wanted to get Nokia E72 in exactly the color shown - Bronze.. Cool right?! But its not available in market yet till 3rd quarter of 2009 which latest shld be by Sept 2009. However when reading up various forum to find out the launch date, someone who said from the company said the phone will only be avilable in Oct 2009. As known, the first batch should be avoid + waiting for price to drop.. I got to wait till like... earliest next yr to get this
I dun want to wait that long to change phone.. I decided to take a look at its current version E71. Yes! E72 is mainly an upgraded version of E71 a slight change of positioning of the keypad and a 5mega pixel camera instead of 3.2. Other than that, no major diff-still working on the same system. Oh, I do read that some positioning diff of the speaker etc too.
It had been a phone with pretty good reviews. But I dun wish to sign up a contract as I thought of debundling my MIO plan. Haha.. Maybe I just source for one without contract. And by the time I am sick of this E71, its might be just right of time to get the E72 at the right pricing too! We shall see how.

My new camera - Fujifilm F70 EXR! (Updated)
Bought our new camera today! With my bday present from Viv, SY n Judy, $50 voucher from UOB uni$, e rest paid by Mr Tay! Hee..
Its a new product from Fujifilm. Initially we wanted to get a Canon IXUS 100, went to Expo, HN explosive sales but nothing unusual abt the sales. Basically, price is the same else where, freebies are the same too! Just as we are able to go n make payment, we realise they are not able to redeem UNI$ at the RS. Thus I told Mr Tay forget abt it.
We went to METRO Expo sales then since its just next door. Then we saw the FujiFilm booth. I was showing Mr Tay the F200 EXR - The Editor Choice camera. Its RRP is $549 but at the RS, they are offering at $499 and able to throw in extra battery on top of the given freebies package. Then the lady intro this F70 EXR to us.
Its a new product launched only on 5/8/09 as told by her and only available at the Metro Expo sales currently. Its has 10Mps instead of 12Mps for F200 but its has 10x optical zooms comparing to F200 - 5x optical zooms. Mr Tay was charmed by it and was telling me that the picture quality is better than Canon. The only cons of it as compare to IXUS 100 will be the outlook. As told by the Canon salesman, Megapixels isnt as important as compare to the lens - I sort of believe in it cos my canon A420 of 4 Mps took much nicer pictures as compare to my friends' Panasonic Limux. However I am bother abt not able to redeem my UNI$ for the $50 voucher. So I told Mr Tay, we shall see look first since its a new launch anyway.
Then we went back Tampines for dinner, there we went to Best Denki and guess what?! we saw the F70 lor.. who say only available at the Metro Sales de?! Pricing is $519 - throw in screen protector, cleaning kits, 8GB SD card, mini Tripod stand and card reader. We requested to throw in extra battery. They obliged to the request but not able to give original one thou, just compatiable. We thought better than nothing.
So we got the camera at $519 - $50(UNI$) - $60(Bday gift), this little baby cost $409! haha..
I had took pictures with it on ytd trip. Shall updates n upload it tonight if I am free! Meanwhile, more specs of the camera can be read up here

IPHONE!!
Our Iphone arrived ytd! Waited for it since reservation on 15th July. Delivery was done to Mr Tay's shop. Beside charging, there is nothing he can do as he need to download itunes before activating it. So last nite, we did some downloading, played with the free applns etc. Haha.. Had a fun time. Battery was almost gone - left 30+% when we go to sleep. We did the software upgrade too and with that we cant jailbreak the phone liao. But nvm since Mr Tay isnt keen to jailbreak in the first place. He dun wan to void the warranty. This phone is really sleek, he said he is getting used to it now. Good. We paid $149 for it as his price plan allow him to get the phone at $49 + $100 due to upgrading less than 21 mths.
I am still waiting for my E72 to launch! Haha.. long wait..
Recently.. he had been lucky! good!! Let it continue!!
Things might not be as its seems to
Ytd nite went over IL place for dinner and eat Dumplings. Dun ask me what occassion, I also dunno. Heard over the dinner that, they rem last min too thus inform us to go home for dinner in such a rush. Anyway mentioned to them that our neighbour next door sold their flat for $420K, MIL was surprise and talked abt getting landed and shifting in to stay together plan. FIL opened his mouth and said: 没有可能的事! He said my MIL is daydreaming wor... So this wishful thoughts might not be true anyway however I know the idea of staying together might eventually still realise just that not happening in landed lor..
Anyway beside dinner - fried bee hoon with canned pig trotters - nice home cooked flavour, she cooked chicken soup too. Super duper nice! She cooked the soup since nite before. I love those double boiled soup but I got no time to make it at home. Haha.. She dish out bowl after bowl for me. She know I like it! Dun hiam
They had long talk after dinner.. the 3 guys-the 3 Mr Tay, I give up since doesnt concern me- its abt the shop and warehouse in Defu. FIL's back is aching and actually hurt his nerve system resulting in the whole thigh pain. The chinese sin seh said cant carry heavy thing anymore if not will worsen the condition. Thus the2 brothers need to do rearrangement now in order to get work done between the 2 working venues.

A Ikea trip that lead me into deep thoughts
We went to Ikea on sunday. Just as we entered level 2, he asked me to sit down and want to discuss something with me. He said his parents have this thoughts of getting a landed property and all of us stay together. Its not the first time I am hearing this, his mum did ask me before if I rem correctly. I know its his wish too. In fact, his wish is - if he can afford, he will want to get a landed and all of us - my parents, his parents stay together. He like big families feel. Thus I know, I cant escape from staying with his parents one fine day esp
1. He is the elderest son
2. He has this weakness towards family kinship - this is a + point, I like this point of his but it will mean he is willing to take on any additional responsibilies from anyone as long as its his family.
My instant reaction is to reject, fight back and argue. I said I dun wish to, dun wan to lose my freedom. Seeing each other is easy but living together is another story, it will never be easy as he think. Thus end up the trip did not continue happily. We walked on, with things in my mind.
Actually some part deep down in me, I dun mind, I will love and like that kind of close big family feel too. Perhaps not with his family but with mine. Haha.. after all I realise I am not as close to his family esp his parents as I should be. There is still distance. However I know, his parents dote on me. Its something that I can feel it myself too. He told me:
1. his mum will worry that I will be tired to clean up house after long day of work. Thus suggesting he to bring the maid over on weekend to clean up the house. And now suggesting to stay together so that we do not need to worry of cleaning up, cooking meals etc.
2. He feel that he is drifting away from his family - which I thought it rather normal esp when U r married?! I also feel how come there are things happen in family but I dunno mah..
3. He said his mum dare not offend me?! I dunno how true is it but I believe its bcos we arent close enough mah. And also I dun think I got anything for her to offend. Basically I tink I am not a too tough to get along person lor.
4. His mum changed which I agreed. She changed alot since I know her, someone who use to be self centre, tink big of herself to now can discuss, talk and actually ask for opinion at times.
5. His mum is diagnoise with Diabietics recently, his dad 's knee had been hurting so much - actual cos remain unknown. Thus he feel that he shld be taking care of them now. Actually the situation of my parents is the same as his, mum with disbietics and dad's knee also been hurting till walk with limp.
And many more examples that he said out without me knowing in the first place but I cant rem now that lead me to think over it...
One thing I know for sure is eventually I will be staying with my in laws. Its a sooner or later thing - when they will get the landed, I dunno. However I got to admit that after the arguement and hearing what he said, its might not be a very bad decision after all. I dun resist it as strongly as before le.. I will just live as days goes.. till the day come.

Then next we went to Nagoya Hill shopping centre where we did most of our shopping:
I got a bag, a pair of NB running shoes and a ear ring
Mdm Tan got 2 ear rings (which i tink she lost while on the way back), 2 polo tee for her Ah lao, 1 top for herself and some undergarment.
Mdm Leong got 2 pairs of ear rings, a top for herself, some tops for her mum?! and some undergarment too.
Next we went back to Batam centre where both me and Mdm Leong got a cap from Polo Ralph Lauren each!
Then we intro her to the hypermarket. She was still wondering what to get from hypermarket then realise so many things are so much cheaper. haha..
We bought toiletries and they got diapers!
Its a fruitful trip but abit too rush and thus tiring too. Nevertheless, I bet we all enjoyed ourselves!
Us on board
At Breeks - BCS
Our drinks!
The resturant is empty! haha.. only customers are the 3 of us.
My fish and chip - Fish is nice and thick Behind is Mozzi balls. There is also bluffort wings not in picture.

Mdm Leong's Steak with creamy mushroom sauce. Very nice!! But they need to change the knife la.. Cannot make it..

Unusual night outing
Its late.. 12am! Haha.. We were jio by Mr and Mrs Tan and my jogging kakis to go JB for supper!
Initially I thought they are kidding and who knows they are serious! and here we go...
In Mr and Mrs Tan's Little red car - Mr Tay lazy + dunno how to drive in Msia.
Us at the hind seats
The wanton mee! Realise nv take shoot of the signboard. Its Ah Biao wanton mee, shop is right behind Da Ma market.
Beside, we ordered lok lok from the mobile stall at the road side..Wednesday, July 15, 2009
Its's so irritating!
Personally I think I placed 3 orders with them with all 3 being cancelled while processing. Reason they gave was they do not accept international credit card but only US issued credit card. Ok, I asked Judy to help me on this, after processing for almost a week, they sent an email to tell me that they are not able to processs the order and thus CANCELLED AGAIN!
Forget it. Told Mdm Leong to pop down their shop at Taka to see cos there should be sales too if she really keen to get the wallet.
Its so frustrating and irritating!!

Belated Post Part II: Its another surprise!
*Its quite a long post!*
Its really a surprise. I nv expect it! Alamak..
I was stunned when the man came in and pass me the flower and present. Then I realised what is happening!
Flowers look familiar? Haha.. cos its from the same person who Mr Tay ordered the V day flower. The present is a magnetic photo frame which need to be plug in. With electricity, the box is actually like 'floating' in the air with the magnetic force.
With this surprise, I got to treat my man a good dinner right?! haha...
So we went for dinner on that night. With the bank providing me voucher for 1 for 1 treat, we went to Brio Cafe at Grand Corpothone Waterfront. For 1 for 1, the pricing suit the varities and quality of food. Otherwise its too ex at $46++ per pax leh.. Some pics from the nite dinner:
