So kiasu..

Moment I have been waiting arrived on 24th September 2010! iPhone4 collection day! (I actually typed this post the next day I got it.. but had problems with my internet connection at home) By now, some of my friends would be bored to hear about my iPhone4 drama.. hehe

I was on leave on 24th September for other reason but I squeeze some time.. Ok that's an understatement... I squeezed a lot of time to collect the iPhone..

I do not why I felt that I needed iPhone asap which led me to spending a lot time, money n effort to literally wait for the iPhone in the Gardens!

I waited 8 hours from time I got my number to pick up the gadget and spent RM 20 over for parking!(that's bcos the parking was so full that I decided to park at the valet parking... Hehe).

I didn't go home as fear tht I'll lose the parking space. So that was the longest outing in midvalley/gardens.

So, what did I do? Plenty of things!

The moment I got my no.. 3884.. So from the start they already told us "At least 3 hours waiting time before you will be served.." So I thought, maybe not too bad.. It was 3 pm and I estimated that I want to go back there by 6 pm..

I headed back to megamall.. trying to figure how should I spend that 3 hours.. Movie.. no interesting movies and I might miss praying time etc.. Not in the mood for shopping, especially when you are about to burst your pocket to buy iPhone4. Found a hair salon.. never ever been to one like this before... So there you go, I spent almost 2 hours doing beautification stuff.. haha.

It was still early when I was done with it.. Strolling around aimlessly.. didn't want to hang out in coffee shop.. Will indulge myself in rich deserts and coffee.. double guilt (buy iPhone and eating sinfully). Paris Miki had a sale and I thought it's time to change my glasses.. last time I changed was 3 years back maybe? It has always been difficult to get a small frame to suit my face... SO I just grabbed it!

I reached the collecting area at around 6.30pm. To my disappointment.. the no. was 3200plus.. that meant.. had another 600+ people to be called by me.. and the number didn't move that fast either! But somehow I didn't want to give up.. So I went in and out that place several times.. went for dinner, buy books, drinks, read books etc.. and finally I went in again at around 9.30pm.. this time the no. was moving pretty fast.. less than 100 more to go.. Thank you Supernova who kept me company (via SMS) through out the process.. I almost wanted to leave at 10.30pm if I didn't get to be called by then. By 10.30pm.. Less than 20 people to go and I came this far.. leaving at this last minute.. didn't sound right.. and I finally I got called at 10.50pm!

Feeling was great! SATISFACTION was unbelievable! I finally left Midvalley around 11.15pm.. Luckily shops like Pizza Hut was still open.. so wasn't that scary when I walked towards the my parking..

Supernova told me that "This is the craziest thing that you done... this year.. or maybe your whole life!" Yes.. I was possessed by Apple and THE THING IS.. Yeah, I do agree.. maybe this is the craziest thing I have done in my life.. Waiting for a phone for 8 hours... And I have no regrets! Really worth it.. It's not just a phone.. It's my Iphone4!
