nokia 6300 from CMC markets

woot !! i got my phone yesterday !! it is black in colour and had the cmc market software installed and unlocked ( not sim locked)
so it's good. i can finally retire my nokia 7280 ( incidentally i think it was the first cam phone in the market that i bought years ago in bangsar for about RM 1.8k)

this new phone is slim and a little larger than my ipod nano. bigger screen. the cover for the battery is metal. which is a new to me. because all the nokia i've ever had came with a plastic cover for the battery slide cover thingy.

camera is alright. a little slow so the subject must be still for the photo to be taken.

the menu buttons are a little too small for my hands.. since i've got big hands.. so pressing the menu buttons are like a chore.
other than that.. i have no ideas how to use the phone.
it came with a microsd card.. 128mb .. omg.. that's sooooo small...
anyways, not like i'm gonna use it for anything else

now i think i should be able to take photos with the phone which will enable me to put more photos up.
walking around with the big cam in london is too.... erm.. dunno..

alrighty..
and last nite i played the 0.25 cents buy in + rebuy satellite to another satellite to the LAPT san jose thingy .
i just barely made it to the top 17 .. out of 150 ppl i didn't really wanted to play the game because it was late. 130am. hehe.
so i unregistered and got myself about 8.88W$. ( which there's a site that will buy the W$ for cash)

I remember seeing an ad about CMC Markets giving out free mobile phones in May...but dont recall the specifics. Do you know how to claim the free mobile? Thanks!

ahh in may they still have that promotion ?
to claim the promotion, just sign up and put £200 minimum into the spread bet acct, and then make 2 trades, then the phone will get sent to you in about 2-4 weeks.
in my case i got it in about 2 1/2 weeks i think. after i made the second trade.
each trade means u buy and close your position. so i bought and sold twice.
but of course, the trade might be a bad trade and one can lose money in the trade so becareful though.

living on a budget

£4 per weekday and £10 for groceries for the week. that's it's gonna be till sept. hopefully.. until i start to try shopping again .. -_- so far for the last few days has been okays. spent like £8 for groceries for this week. some beef, some chicken wings( which i completely finished during the weekend) which included half a kg of fruit and nut cadbury. today was 2 for £2 sausage rolls from tescos. nothing else happened. my friend's father died of lung cancer. i wish them condolences. it was so sudden apparently. but i have had no contact with them since i left KL/miri. i heard it from another friend who was in miri who msged me asking me about my blood pressure as he said he was scared now. i asked. scared of dying ? lol. anyways, it's best to be preventing than trying to cure it when it comes.. so i really have to switch back to no salt diet.. T_T kk that's it. season 6 of 24 was like erm... okays... it was basically a repeat of the plots.. hope that's the la...

brussel sprouts are in season i think. they are going for 1 pack for 52p. it used to be like 1/4 of the pack for £1. but now seems to be cheaper. oh yeah. it seems to be siu pak choi. but it just didnt opened. anyways, that nite i went to morrisons, to buy more food. but when i walked halfway i found out that i didnt bring my wallet.. ^$£"%$£^%$ but lucky i had coins in my pocket. all i had was 96p. how sad.. lol . i went to the store to look for nga choi. er.. whta they call them here.. i think some sort of beans.. they usually sell them for 45p. i wanted it cos i cooked chicken rice mah. but then they didnt have it. and they have mixed stir fried thingy which was £1.29. poor ole me didnt buy it cos i didnt have enough lol so i hunted for cheap stir fry vege, the sprouts looked like a cheaper alternative. well.. i bought it. cooked it ate it with chicken rice. next thing i knew.. i was down with a bloody cough. ugh.. lotsa phlegm. not sure how i got it.. but that aside, i've ...

Ultimate Burger. ( sorry no pics)

Tried something new for lunch the other day. namely ultimate burger. . it's a tad pricey when compared to the burgers i had in macdonalds or burger king. :P £7 per medium sized burger. i had just the minted lamb burger(£6.95), and some spicy onion rings.(£1.95) in the ultimate burger store in tottenham court road. it was not too bad. a pretty nice setting too. all u have to do is queue up order ur food, then get a number then u put it on the table. they have sort of a hanger for u to put ur numbers to. just like in those kind of chinese open air market in petaling jaya give u number then they come look for u.. but this one they come to look for u with ur food almost about 2 mins after u've sat down and they would ask u if u liked ur food. gripes about the food. lamb burger seems small.. but its' about the size of a chargrilled flame burger in burgerking. taste wise, very tender lamb meat with mint sauce. it's nice. :P the onion rings are a different matter though . for ...
