Mobile Phone Problem

I took this picture of a funny construction sign outside Cuppage Terrace. Below was taken from my mobile while the next was from my friend's mobile.





Dust, moisture or whatever has been collecting on the len inside the case.



Guess I have to make a trip down to Nokia centre to get them to clean it.

About an incident at Cuppage Terrace, I went there to have dinner with my friends. We were walking around the compound, looking at the choices we had for dinner. We walked towards point 1 where an auntie was standing there. She immediately started to persuade us when we were within her speaking range.



We ignored her and continued what we were doing. When we reached point 2 which was a seafood stall that the auntie worked for and surprised, she was there to persuade us again. We did the same thing and walked to point 3 after we had seen every stall and were deciding on what to eat.

To our horror, the auntie came over to us and began her persuasion for the 3rd time! 1 of my friend whom our dinner was organized for as he just came back from a business trip, gave in to her and decided to eat at her stall. She really represents what 'thick skin' truly means as during ordering, she did not even give us the time to decide on what we wanted. Every page of the menu we flipped, she would suggest what was their best dish and how much we would have liked it, and that she was not lying to us! What was worse, was that during waiting, she walked up to us and tried to chat with us. The way she did it felt like a person who had won a 'trophy'.

I dislike this type of person. They can cross the line so far off to achieve what they want. In this case, pissing us and her competitors off, spolit our discussion on what we wanted to eat and what we wanted to order and still have the face to come and talk to us like we had fallen into her trap. If my friend was more decisive, we would have thwarted her plans and I bet her competitors would have laughed.

Joke Per Post (If I Remember)
Mexican American War

During the Mexican/American war, an intense long standoff occurred along the front. For days and days neither side made any advances. Finally, an American general had a bright idea.
He aimed his rifle to the Mexican trenches and yelled "Hey Juan!"
A soldier jumped up and replied "What?"
The general shot him dead. This continued for three days.
A Mexican general decided that two could play this game and decided to try it out. He called out "Hey John!!"
An American replied "John isn't here......is that you Juan?"
The Mexican general stood up, "Yeah!"...
