iPhone 4s - I Bought It...!

I managed to buy the iPhone 4s this morning without having to queue overnight or even more than 15 minutes...!

I was initially waiting for the launch of iPhone 4s and hoping that the prices for iPhone 4 would drop.... but the Telco are smart and they are offering iPhone 4 8GB at about S$400, which is not a drop in price but offering a small capacity iPhone at a seemingly cheaper price!

I bought an iPhone 4 16GB for Jason, at S$500 ( with contract  of S$38 per month for 2 years ) in early Sept 2011.

As such, I decided to buy the iPhone 4s 16GB at S$498 and re-contract my mobile plan ( good timing...eh! ).

But knowing that my son will get the best out of the iPhone as I am a simple user and guided by him on such technology, I am going to swop mobile with him. I will take his iPhone 4 16 GB and he will take the new iPhone 4s 16GB.

Importantly, I was very lucky to have been able to buy the iPhone 4s 16GB as I just walked into the shop and hope for the best.

I managed to buy the last unit of the Black iPhone 4s with 16 GB from this telco partner shop.

To be honest, my wife and I did not expect that we could get one today as people were queuing overnight to buy one, according to the newspapers.

I was actually expecting to get one when the next round of shipment comes in.

This is sort of a win or victory for me as I hardly chase the latest model and importantly, I did not have to join a long queue and I went to the shop just before lunch time ( expecting to see a Sold Out sign instead ).

So to-date, the family has iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s and an iPad 2 too......!

Jason Knee Surgery Progress

Jason has his right knee ACL reconstruction surgery 1 month ago and recovering well.

He was off the crutches after our trip to Penang and now back to school which just started this Monday.

He is wearing a knee support to stabilise his knee as he is not 100% fit and he has to climb up a slope to get to his school on the top of a hill...!

Still some slight swelling around the knee and has attended 7 sessions of physiotherapy to-date to regain the strength of his muscles.

Jason's ex-Kinderland classmate, Ryan Tay, who was back from Geelong to take his NS medical tests dropped by to see him. Both of them have really grown up .....!

Video on Jason's Knee Surgery

The Dr briefly went through the operation done on Jason's knee to reconstruct his torn ACL, a week after the operation by showing us the video taken during the 20 minutes procedure.

I have edited the video to 6 minutes as some of Jason's friends were keen to see it; highlights of the operation.

It is not bloody but I hope you have the stomach to see it as it can be quite gruesome .......

Another Year Older .....

I just celebrated my birthday so another year older and wiser too....I hope...ha...ha...

Thanks for all the birthday greetings that came through Facebook and emails too.

Birthday lunch and cake from my sisters Sue and Wei, during my recent Penang trip.

A durian cake from my family when we were back in Singapore.

Happy Birthday.....!
