Inaction and calculated reservation just might pay off! Read this from Mr Wang.
In Jul 09, there was a promotion for a free Macbook if you signed up for this cost-more-than-usual Singet package. Was tempted cos i felt like getting a new laptop and thought Singnet should do as well as my current Starhub. After all, my current Starhub contract should be over by now.
But it came with some Miotv thing which i didnt want. And i didnt know if i could maintain my cable tv if i had to sign up for this miotv thing as well. Didnt know if my current connection would be affected. Did i need to sign up for any new accounts which would disrupt my current click-and-surf connection? And the white Macbook (ie. old series) was not free since the 2-yr contract promo costs like $600+ more than just the std internet connection package, but still a saving as the laptop costs like $1600 almost now. At the end, while waiting and waiting and thinking and thinking … it was 1 Aug 09. Promo over!
Now i read about all these complaints and think … sometimes laziness saves the day.
But no new laptop then?
You kidding me?! Just bankrupted myself getting a new laptop! And it aint no slow white 13 inch macbook (hint hint!).
And another idea hit me. Always had this fantasy of chilling out at cafes surfing the net and chatting etc. Just never did it cos dunno how to use that Wireless free surfing thingy. Now found out i can sign another 2 yr contract and get free mobile surfing modem! But i realise my new laptop will also probably never see the world outside my room … but still. Maybe, just maybe
