Raine - Living The Cinderella Dream;

Sunday, January 20, 2008

I just came back from another wedding dinner,
held at Shangri-La. (orange grove road)

The groom’s a navy scholar, one of the boy’s buddies.
Anyhow, the wedding was amazing.

All details were taken into precise consideration.

The venue was good,
the staff were efficient,

the groom’s bosom navy fellows were rowdy and certainly entertaining,
the video-clips presented were great,

both the bride and the groom’s speech were engaging,.. ...

Given that the groom’s in the navy, (quite senior at that)
he got a “military tradition” wedding.

- Where the other navy guys parade into the aisle,
raise their swords following which the bride and the groom have to pass under.

It was a thumbs-up affair.

All that marching was quite a sight, the groom sang,
they waltzed and some other pals joined them in the waltz as well.

Now I have a rough estimate of how I would want to plan mine.

Honestly, I’m beginning to believe that functions and durability
are more essential than design.

Both my friend and I were complaining about our Samsung mobiles.

Within less than 6 months, problems surfaced.

The most infuriating matter:

After I sent the phone for servicing on the first attempt,
upon collecting the phone, the staff actually had the cheek to tell me this:

“Oh madam, I’m sorry but we really can’t detect the main problem.
However we’ve changed SOME parts already. ”

Assuming that the new parts would enable the phone to regain its original efficiency,
I took the phone back and graciously thanked them for their help.

How WRONG is that assumption I made.
Within the next 24 hours, the same problem occurred again!

Once again, I went back to the service centre complaining about the
EXACT same issue the first time I was there.

All that endless waiting and explaining really pissed me off.

Thus the boy said:
Aiya why don’t we just buy another phone.
And I replied: ok ok. (whilst checking out Samsung models again)

He saw me checking out those models and he said:
We’re not gonna get you anymore Samsung phone ok?

Frowning, I nodded in agreement.

The sleek designs are worth the awards and prices
BUT
the durability is like @$#^*.
