It's a FROSTY christmas.
Everyone, say hello to Mr. Frost; my new toy, companion and love.
No, no. I'm not referring to the dashing Andy Frost from the Magnets.
It's my spanking new and teeny weeny ibook G4.
Welcome me to the community of Applers! (or whatever you call those who are on Mac)
I've recovered almost everything that was lost, and gained even much more than what I had. God is really wonderful =)
And so is my mum.
She just got back from China only this afternoon and didn't even have the chance to go home, put down her baggage and get some rest before heading out with me to get the laptop. Immediately after church service, we went to the AppleCentre@Orchard only to find that it's not affliated to the Apple store at J8 - where I had seen the promotion for the ibook G4. And it so happened that today is the last day of the promotion.
Charged up with coffee (for mum... i don't drink coffee whenever I can help it), we then headed down to bishan, with luggages and all, to purchase Mr. Frost.
I was praying hard all the way, hoping that they would have stock so I could take 'him' home today and my prayers were answered! My handsome toy is sitting on my desk now looking all suave beside his new friend, Snowy (iDoggy).
Friends who are planning to get Apple stuff, I recommend getting it at J8 and preferrably get assistance from Alex, this super helpful salesperson who also has a cute smile (reminds me a little of Jerry Yen with the dimples.. HAHA. Ok, a bit irrelevant here). But he was really nice and patient - even when my mum's friend kept pestering for him to throw in something free/ extra, since it was the last day of the promotion.
Boy, was I embarrassed.
I have never been ace at bargaining and it makes me feel really paiseh to haggle for good deals. I could only smile on sheepishly or pretend to admire Mr. Frost while the 'commotion' continued in the background.
I would like to gush on about Mr. Frost but it's getting late and I need rest for the first squash match tomorrow!
Good luck to US!
