A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

My new handphone!!!!


OMG! This came as a really really huge surprise!
Rang Dearie this morning (my usual before bed routine..hehe), and he told me that he bought the Nokia 8800 Sirrocco for me as a present!!!!!!
This has been a phone I've been (in fact both of us) have been looking at since it was first produced. But because of its cost, we were only dreaming of owning it.
Apparently, Dearie went searching high and low for it (he said that many shops aren't carrying this model anymore), and he just thought that it's HIGH time I change my hp (my sg hp is in a really bad condition on the exterior).
Have been thinking of changing my hp actually, but I wasn't willing to part with my $$$. Besides, my hp is still working well (and the old 8210 is still working too!!!!!! Don't I take really gd care of my hps?!). And should I get one, I reckon I'll just settle for a reasonable looking one which is cheap...hahahaha..typical me. Basically, I didn't see much of the need for an expensive phone with numerous functions since all I really require is to call, sms and probably take photos when I am in the mood (Nokia 8800 Sirrocco is one with all the basics I need, but the cost is %^%$@).
Reasons why Dearie decided to surprise me with this (according to him):
1. Feeling guilty that I'm here alone and he's not coming to see me (sigh...)
2. Time to change hp because he thinks it's embarrassing to flash my hp in public with its condition
3. Different status now, so will need classier hps (honestly, I think this reason is crap since I never thought of myself as being of a higher level...and hps are still hps at the end of the day...)
It's definitely too expensive a present to accept, but Dearie is annoyed when I requested for him to get a refund, simply because he said a lot of time was spent searching for it.
Alright then.
Looks like this new baby will be with me till it ever goes bonkers. Can't bear to change hps in future because of the sentimental value.
