  • Spoilt... Or not really?!

     had to buy 2 chairs from a shop close to my office for our new house and we had lunch together - a rare thing for us. We only have lunch together on weekdays for less than 5 times a year.

    Anyway I had Hainanese chicken rice .. *slurp*... And he had clam chowder and a boring duck shepherds pie, as printed on the menu.


    It fact, it shouldn't be called shepherds pie because shepherds don't look after ducks right? For all I know :


    Mash with lamb = shepherds pie
    Mash with beef = cottage pie
    Mash with seafood = ocean pie
    Mash with duck = Oh I don't know... lake pie? Wait... that should be mash with swan meat. Where do ducks live? Bathtubs? Ha ha!!


    After lunch  had to go to Smartone to pick up his free phone. Coincidentally he got a new Nokia 6288 just 2 days after I got my Nokia 7373.


    As we were walking into the shop, something caught 's eyes - The new Blackberry 8100. Then he turned to me and offer to buy me a phone.


    It was really tempting, and I am weak when I am tempted... So he got me a new Nokia 7390!


    This is almost the same as 7373, but it has a better camera (but not as good as my old Mitsubishi and Moto V3X) and it has 3G. I immediately joined the 3G plan so I can watch news with a flat-rate package of HK$128 a month.

    I had to trade-in my 7373, and the total came to HK$1930 on 's bill.


    I was running late for work so I thanked  and ran back to my office. I was really happy, thinking that I got a free phone again!


    But then something hit me : Hang on. I still have to pay installments for my 7373 for the next 11 months!!
