"New" Phone

We previously checked and was given the impression that Daddy Lim's contract was not due and we had to wait until May 26. While suffering with the Galaxy J1, which only stable functions were calls and whatsapp,  I had been encouraging myself by keeping my eyes on the Galaxy S7.

Yday, we were in Clementi Mall, waiting for the kids to finish their Maths class and we chanced upon a M1 shop. When we checked, we were told that we can renew the contract!??!! What the... we could have saved that $170 and heartache from the Galaxy J1! Nevertheless, all heartache and sense of suffering quickly vanished with the reality that I can have a NEW phone and I can have it NOW! I was hopping around the shop like an exciting bunny. Hehe.

Unfortunately, Galaxy S7 is only available for pre-order and collection on March 11. I need a new phone NOW. It doesn't matter if I have a S7 or whatever. I just needed a new proper current age phone that doesn't die on me whenever I open an app. I almost bought a Note 5 but stopped when was reminded that the memory is not expandable. I do not need more memory but found downloading pictures from memory card so much easier.

We eventually bought a LG phone - V10 and Daddy Lim got to benefit. The M1 staff were all rooting for the LG phone so enthusiatically that I wonder if the phone is really that great or they earn a commision from LG. With Daddy Lim's high monthly plan and some points that he redeemed, the new phone was $38! I took over his Galaxy S6 edge. It didn't matter to me. I only needed a proper phone and didn't want to learn how to meddle with a different model phone.

The verdict? I feel like I am connected again. I must have travelled in a time machine.  Daddy Lim is happy too with a new toy. The new phone is a little big and heavy though but nothing he cannot handle. Happy, happy, happy.
