My brother wanted to get the latest Maxis Iphone 4 package for his girlfriend. The last time he bought her a handphone, it was 3 years ago and fair enough for him to change her one by now. So they werebusy seeking for the phone since the day it was launched but most of the time, the phone was already sold out in the outlets.
We happened to have dinner with my dad yesterday at 1 Utama and they decided to try the Maxis and Digi centers as well as Mac city but all phones were sold out. I can see the disappointments in them. During dinner however, they wanted to check out Pavilion. So i quickly gave Jess a call and seek for her help to ask since she is working in Pavilion. She in return, had to seek help from her colleague because she was already off work. And the result that came back was full of excitement! It appeared that there were still 150 units left in Pavilion Mazxis center! The bad news was no deposit and the phones were selling fast!
So after a really quick dinner with dad, we decided to rush to Pavilion! It was 8:15pm and it was raining, and we prayed that there was no jam. And so we speed! By the time we got there, it was 15 minutes to 9pm and there were already a crowd outside the store, as well as long queues inside! Gulp!
So they quickly got in the queue while asking the floor staff regarding the plan and thunder struck them! Michelle is using a subsidiary line from her mother currently. In order for her to change her line into a primary line and get herself the phone with the new plan, she has to get her mother to sign an authorization letter together with their photocopied I.C. Of course she has none of those!!
All with the "What???" stunned face.
So what can she do? Since she do not want to forgo her current phone number and she can't just buy the phone and get the plan tomorrow, there was only one choice, that is to get a new number entirely. And they had to discuss over it.
While they busy making the "toughest" decision in their lives, my younger brother and I got bored. Really really bored. So i took out my outdated 3g Iphone and began snapping. We were all over the place touching these and that. My younger brother even went opposite to Digi back and forth to compare the deals. There were several interactive Maxis kiosks in the store and we just sat there poking into every single categories while fighting boredom!
Me pretending to be a handphone model. Hahah
Self-destructive SMS anyone??? It's like James Bond!
Someone must have gone home either with a strand of hair missing or a broken wig! I wondered what happened earlier? Fighting over the phone???
By the time they decided to sign up for a new line, it was already 30 minutes passed. Maxis was closing, gate was drawing down. While we told one of the ground staff about our decision, he was rather annoyed and asked if we had taken the forms. Of cos we didint and there was a danger of us queing thus far for nothing! Luckily the ground staff secretly gave us a form to sign up and asked us to be hush about it because apparently they were telling new comers that the phones were all sold off at that moment. And true enough, there were only 2 numbers left for us to choose when it was our turn.
Pity the staff, all looking tired and exhausted.
You must be wondering why i have tagged along in this madness when i could just be home and relax. Well it turned out that i was badly needed and i am the crucial person in this madness. I was needed for one thing only, which was my credit card!!! Sob sob sob!!! Few months ago i had also went to the same centre and help Jess to get her Iphone simply because HSBC offered 0% interest. And now i am needed for the same reason. Maxis should compliment and give me some freebies for being such a loyal customers! hahah
Signing..signing..signing...
And finally we were done! Yay!!!! Michelle is very happy about her new phone and swore that she will not touch the phone that night or she cant put it down. By the time we left, it was 30 minutes passed 10pm and the poor staff were still serving the last customer.
Yay new phone!
Sigh...2k gone...
But as long as she is happy, i am happy too! hehe
Of course first call out from the new phone must be to the boyfriend!
So there you are, all the madness all in the name of love - Michelle's love for the Iphone; My brother's love for Michelle; and of course the 2 bystanders' (My youngest brother and i) love for the family! I feel like a saint now! haha
At 845pm... wee! excited!
At 10:30pm....are we done yet??? zzzz
