absolute-ly missy

Tis’ the season to be scary, falalalala lalalala.

Opps. It’s Halloween, not Christmas yet!

My scary Halloween certainly started bright and early today at SGH for my pre-admission procedure.

Yep, I’m scheduled for surgery late next week.

I do not like needles, and am growing to detest them more as I become older.

Today’s hospital experience has just confirmed that fact. I could really feel that needle as it made its entry through my skin and seeked for its holy grail – my blood.

Argh!

Anyway, have a frightfully fun Halloween!

I’ll be at my SVP’s house as she’s throwing a Halloween party, what about you?

Earlier this year in late February, after the demise of my Sony Ericsson (SE) 750i (it lasted me a good 2 years, at least), i shopped around for a new mobile phone.

I had wanted to stay with SE, but as I was browsing in the telco retail store, Samsung’s U700 caught my eye. Its sophisticated and sleek design beckoned me to take a closer look.

Although its specs were unimpressive, its clean lines presented such a sexy silhouette that captivated and mesmerized me. A sucker for aesthetics, I succumbed to its calling and bought the mobile boasting a rich purple hue.

As it happens, it certainly didn’t take long for the disappointment to begin.

The six touch key on the slider proved to be a great nuisance and a lagging OS certainly didn’t help matters. But still, i grinned and bore the pain, thinking that the fantastic design outweigh these inconveniences.

The final straw came when the mobile died on me after barely eight months.

The blackscreen of death occurred whenever I tried to operate the phone (as I slide the screen up).

Mind you, the phone did not suffer any physical impact whatsoever.

So there, my mobile bites the dust.

And I’m mighty disappointed in Samsung mobiles – for all that great design, there’s really nothing solid underneath.

So friends, as I am searching for a mobile replacement, please do let me know if you’ve any good recommendations.

No Samsungs, please.
