And here this week, there is a war going on between Israel and Lebanon. But little known is that there is a civil war happening now right here in the continent of Punggol Block 645 #09-340.
The Prime Minister, My Dad, received a handphone offer from Singtel. but he didn't know which weapon to chooose so he asked the Minister of Home Affairs, my mum, to ask me to help. I was in school and my mum called me and asked what phone was good. I was like " What do you think i am? A walking singtel ad? Who in the world remembers all the models? Of course i need to see the phones rite?" So she heads for the Ministry of Sinistry, my 2nd eldest brother KJ, to help. So they bought the phone(aka weapon of mass destruction). same as kenneth's one. the slide open nokia one. That's when the whole thing started. PM has new phone but doesn't really want to use it. He passes it to Minister of home affairs. HOM minister keeps it safely in her cupboard. KJ asks why she doesn't use it and she says "oh, ur dad says its a 3G phone, i dun have 3G sim card so cannot use." Me and KJ are dumbfounded. That's lik saying u can't watch tv without a SCV cable vision connection. So me and KJ prove her wrong by inserting her old sim card into the damn phone. and it works of course. Then she starts complaining that all her numbers and messages and pretty pictures are gone. And then she says she will learn how to use it. Fast forward to today, or rather, jus now. HOM minister passed the phone to the PM cos she's sick of not knowing how to use it. PM comes to me for help and the General, my eldest brother KH, boldy chose to get involved(lucky me). And disaster ensues. The PM's 3G sim card goes into the new weapon. but all his contacts are missing. nobody knows why. PM gets angry. He wants "solutions, not more time" to quote the General. PM says he's got a 3G sim card so this shouldn't happen. Kh asks whether he knows what the 3g sim card is supposed to do and the PM says he doesn't. PM storms out. General complains to the Mister Minister Sinister about how he chose the wrong phone for them as they dunno how to use it. Minister KJ says he did what they ask. Choose a value for money phone with high tech capabilities. He feels he shouldn't be blamed if the users can't comprehend the technology. he says he can imagine the General, PM and HOM as cavemen poking a UFO. HOM minster overhears and says that general makes stupid suggestions for suggesting to use infra-red to transfer the numbers from her old phone to this new phone cos to her, its very troublesome to use infrared which is free but she apparently doesn't think its free. KJ explains to her that its free and really fast and the home affairs minister reiterates her stand that its "just too troublesome". KJ complains that what can he do since he's already offered to do all the dirty work. choose a good phone and they say its too good and too difficult for them to use, choose a bad phone and they says its bad. no wonder service standards in singapore are low. general KH is really pissed when mum says she will learn how to use it and she will manually transfer all her stored templates and numbers into the phone cos she likes it that way. DIY. and then she promptly shuts the door. General looks at me in agony while the Minister Sinister goes swimming. As for me, i just continue reading the sunday times before deciding to blog this story out. Oh, jus for your info, i'm the Minister of the Ministry of Sound :)
