Hubby had a super long weekend during the Hari Raya holiday as he took leave on Thurs & Sat. But I had a super super long weekend as my leave started a day earlier, on Wed. It's a last minute decision as my back problem had a relapse & got worse espeially when seated. It's so sweet of hubby to immediately apply leave to spend time with me :)
Had a really relaxing Wed, with TV & laptop (strangely only my recliner could ease me of the back problem... thank God we bought the right stuff). My breakfast & lunch were all taken care of as we stocked up the previous night.
On Thursday, we went to AMK Hub as hubby got $0 iPhone 4. But it didn't come easy as we waited a total of 6hours!! The 1st 1.5 hour was spent in the queue (it's really unbelievable how huge a crowd that the phone with a lil Apple could command) & then walking around for the next 4.5 hours to wait for our turn. It's quite an impromptu decision, just a few days before, so no order was placed & that meant much longer wait.
During those hours, we also took the train to J8 for a walk since we've explored almost every corner in AMK Hub. Thought would only be browsing around but we brought back with us a Canon Ixus 130. Best Denki was having clearance sale & we're happy to see that the camera we'd been eyeing on was $40 cheaper than the market price.
I've been wishing to get a Canon camera since more than a year ago, after seeing how nice the pictures taken despite my friend's shaky hands, when our Panasonic camera of 2.5 years started to produce bad pictures. We guessed that it's due to the sub-zero weather in Korea and later had our suspicion confirmed. Just glad that we got a cheaper camera then.

After returning to AMK Hub, we waited for another half hour. The wait was REALLY overwhelming...
All this while I disliked touch screen phones ever since the bad experience with Sony Ericsson P800 many years ago. But after playing with hubby's for a couple of hours that evening, I contemplated getting 1 too. Anyway, like the ah beng (who sells numerous mobile phones but, like me, dislikes & refuses to use a touch screen phone) whom we went to for hubby's screen protector said, technology advances in such a pace that soon most phones will be touch screen, like it or not.
We regretted not adding mine on when we queued that morning. Hubby felt bad so he, who usually enjoys lots of sleep on a no-work day (it's public holiday!), got up early the next morning to get ready to join the queue again. But there's no Q.... as no iPhone for sale on the 2nd day (when Singtel staff said on the previous day that there would be continuous supply...). But I didn't feel too disappointed.. maybe because I was still not very into iPhone. Hubby was more bothered than me.. hehe.
Without very strong intention to get an iPhone, we went to Causeway Point's Singtel shop in the evening to do some 'window shopping'. We had plans to upgrade my plan to a data plan but I was fickle about getting an iPhone.. especially when we'd have to go a great extent for an item I didn't fully desire. When the staff introduced Samsung Galaxy S, I fell in love with it almost immediately.. It's lighter than hubby's but a lil bigger so as to give a big screen, the biggest so far. And the colors are impressive on a Super AMOLED display panel:)
Hubby got his iPhone 4 & I, my Galaxy S ;D
So that weekend, we're both busy exploring our new gadgets. Hee.

The 1st course - Cream of Mushroom. It's tasty.
3rd course - Dark Chocolate Cake. Very nice... & it came in a generous portion.
We could even record our own singing & send to our phone via bluetooth (the middle blue icon at the bottom). We're impressed!
