Let me share a story here too. It happened to me on Dec 7th
2006, around 8++pm.
My gf and I was at Orchard, at the singtel shop there (now only 1
shop left) looking for a new phone. Being the cheapo I am, I chose
a N73 and was queueing up to make payment for my phone.
Just in front of the queue, there was a couple. Just like me, they
were purchasing a phone too and was making payment at the counter.
The difference is that the lady was talking so loudly to her bf
that you wont have any problems hearing her outside the shop.
As the lady was making payment to the cashier, she realised that
she was 2 bucks short of the amount and ask her bf to loan her the
amount. When her bf says that he dun have 2 bucks, she starts to
hitting him and call him useless, saying stuff like he dun even
have 2 bucks with him so on so for etc. It was an super embarassing
situation for the gentlemen here as almost everyone turned to look
at the counter to see what is happening.
At the spur at the moment, I turned and ask my gf whether she got 2
bucks to lend me or not.. she asked me for what, and I look at the
couple. Somehow after the lady heard thatthat, miricaously, she
managed to dig out the 2 bucks difference and pay the balance. And
while walking out, she continued scolding her bf. The staff and I
laughed a bit, I paid up and left~
I wonder how the guy can tahan with so much verbal and physical
abuse? the lady a far way of being a beauty. hmmm... love~ -.-"
