my iPhone purchase

I had the urge to go buy the iPhone today. I had actually initially reserved it already. I had made an appointment with singtel on Wednesday. But... I couldn't wait any longer... The qwbsitw did say that anyone who had made a previous reservation could go down to comm centre to collect it. It was pouring when we got there.. And the queue was terribly long. I had to first register to get myself chopped and the was told to join the 3 hour long queue. I was getting really pissed off when the registration guy told me that j couldn't purchase my phone because I hadn't paid my hp bill and that singtel had their rules and regulation and policy. So I reiterated by saying that I had the intention to pay my hp bill and to purchasetje phone at the same time. They actually told me that comm centre does not have bill payment counters. This is by far thf most rudiculous thing I have ever heard in my entire life. This is as good as saying that you can't find slurpee in a 7-eleven store. This wasn't the worst part, the registration guy actually told me that I had to go all the way to the mrt station to go and find an AXN or SAM machine to pay my freaking bill.. by then I had lost all interests to buy the phone when another sales staff advised me that there was a SAM machine right in the comm centre... I was so pissed off... I ran back to the registration guy and "screamed" at him... He profusedly apologised.. Too late... I demanded that I shouldn't be kept in the queue as I wouldn't even had been delayed if the registration guy was able to given the correct advise. In the end... I was brought into the comm centre by by another way and I didn't even had to queue at all... Here I am now... Happily typing away on my blog with my new white and sleek 16G iPhone
