EH HEM!! Eh Eh Hem!!!
I got the phone on my hands, finally!!!
Initially, i was really wondering if this is really the phone that i want, and my brother was saying about the volatility (is there such a word??) of phone prices and stuff like that. And yes, there are new phones popping out like every single month! Wha lau eh. These mobile phone makers really know how to capture the hearts of the techie-hungry folks! But once i set my eyes on the phone, not even the Omnia or i780 could move me away from it.
Anyway, i've got the phone, and it's charging right now.
Oh, they come with a handphone pouch (not that bad-looking, only a bit ah-pek styles), and a matt-surface screen protector (good for touchscreens)
Have tried to sms using the touchscreen and the qwerty, I'd prefer qwerty anytime, because it's like typing, though a bit cumbersome where the symbols department is concerned. But no more wrong wordings due to over-reliance on the dictionary. =)
I have great expectations for this phone. So i believe once my MicroSD is in place, there'll be more things to be done with it.

While i was deciding between taking the Mrt from Bugis or taking a bus back to Clementi, i was just finishing my dinner at Fortune Center (which is like 2 buildings across the road from where my office is located).
My decision wasn't fixed even as i found myself walking within the building towards the Bugis Mrt station. While i was nearing the exit, a shop caught my eye, on my left.
I mean when everything you see in sight is yellowish in color, and you suddenly sight a bright green shop front, of course it catches your eye. The signboard showed a picture of a girl's face with some fruits on her head.
The shop name is Tracy Juice Culture.
Beyond the bright exterior, the sales-auntie caught my eye. She was giving out samples of their juice and promoting their juices.
Their juice is no ordinary juice. Ordinary juice can be found on the other side of the building. This juice is quite different where it comes with various flavors.
The sales-auntie gave me a sample of beetroot juice, which was quite a new thing to me, and which is something i couldn't exactly relate to. It tasted a bit like Yam.
And the second sample is the wheatgrass with something, which made me think if i should give out a MOOOOO or not. Anyway, i hate that.
The last sample is this juice that i knew later was this Pine Lemon, which is refreshing, and it tasted good; not too sour, and the taste is just right. The sales-auntie exclaimed that while she stood for hours promoting the drink, she got very tired. But after drinking it, she felt energized. An example of a 活招牌？
I got myself a cup of Pine Lemon, which the counter staff juice out a fresh cup for me. And to my astonishment, i saw her putting in whole cut lemons, with skin and all into the blender!
Of course, for fruits, the best parts are the skin definitely. But Lemon seeds and skin all into the juice, it's a first for me. And it taste just as good, if not better, as the sample. This cup cost me $3.50.
They have other varieties of juices and desserts, which i got a sample for this 山药 (which is a underground root??) and taste like Yam, but much nicer, and not too sweet. This is what part of their brochure says.
There's a lot of varieties of the juices and desserts, which are healthy and looks-feels-and-is-indeed-delicious. And it's within walking distance to office. Woohoo!!
U can grab a Tracy Juice at 3 places:
1) Vivocity Basement (near to Subway = YES there's a new Subway outlet behind Candy Empire)
2) Fortune Center (Near to Parklane Fried Yun Tun Noodle = YES the one with the purple signboard )
3) Raffles City Shopping Center (Eh, should be somewhere basement. I've never seen it when i was there)
Before i forget, they also have some rewards programs like what Starbucks have. The more u drink, the nth drink is free. For them, it's different, for the nth drink, they are eligible to attend a free juicing workshop for certain juices. Interesting and innovation and educational. (Disclaimer, the first n and the other n is not equivalent to each other)
There's no weblink for it, because it's down.
