INQ Mobile is giving away $100 cash and a $100 shopping voucher to one lucky winner!
INQ is one mobile phone company that is doing things a little differently with their phones. They cater for users like you and me who feels the need to be constantly ‘plugged into’ the internet and be on social platforms like Skype, Windows Live Messenger (WLM) and Facebook. Guess what? They integrated the mentioned social platforms (and more) into the phone itself.
As such, my favourite feature of the INQ Mobile phones is the integration of social platforms into the address book of the phones. Fire up your address book, see who is online on WLM, check out their newest drunk profile pic from Facebook, call someone on Skype to laugh about the pic; all these done right in the address book.
The bad news is that the makers of the best mobile handset at the Global Mobile Awards 2009 do not have their INQ mobiles available yet in Singapore. While we all drool at the possibility of actually owning one soon, take this chance to win lovely prizes from them right here!
One lucky commentator from this blog entry will be awarded $100 cash and a $100 shopping voucher and here is what YOU have to do:
Go to INQ’s website and find out more about their mobile phones and note the features that you love the most.
Post a comment in this post about the features that you love about INQ mobiles.
[optional] Tweet, Plurk, Facebook update about this contest I am hosting to increase your chances of winning! All social updates must contain the tag #INQmobile and the URL to this post http://pea.to/inqkt so that we can track and up your chances!

Friends who know me most probably realize that apart from a few *cough* picky gripes about the service standard in Singapore, I am generally quite forgiving when it comes to receiving customer service.
Maybe it’s because I have tried working in the service orientated industry a few times and know how troublesome some customers can get and I also don’t want to be too pushy as a customer till the point where a waiter feels the need to add his/her saliva to my food when salt is all that is lacking.
With such a passive attitude towards the supposed ‘decline’ of service standards in Singapore, it was with great pleasure that I heard of this Singapore based website called “Are You Being Served?“.
Secret missions to uncover the standards in Singapore? I’m in!
I plan to make my way down to a steak restaurant in the heart of Holland Village where I use to frequent. It’s important to not be overboard with my service test and so, during peak hours when waiters are up to their neck with orders and requests, I would ask to change tables in the middle of the meal claiming that it is too cold.
The test will reveal how well they handle such a troublesome request when my table is full of food and the restaurant is busy. In the event that they can’t change my table, it will also test how well they try to make us comfortable despite the inability to accede to the request.
I’ll blog about my experience real soon….
Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh….. *rubs hands with evil glee*
Thanks to the KuKuNehNeh(KKNN) and her colleague, we managed to secure two tickets to catch Singapore National Team VS Liverpool on their pre-season Asian tour. It was held at the Kallang National Stadium which by the way was said to be up for demolition 735176361 events ago.
We drove down to Kallang a good 2 hours before the match, hoping to beat the crowd and take our time to have our dinner but to our amazement, the area around the stadium was already filled with people dressed in Liverpool garb. As we sat in the stadium and watch the crowd flow in and take the seats around the stadium, I begun to wonder if any one soul was actually here to support their own country, Singapore.

Teams marching in
The Liverpool fans that turned up that day was nothing short of amazing. I haven’t been to Anfield ever but if I do not ever go there, this would probably be the closest experience I would ever have. The ‘Kop end’ was magnificent as there were chanting and singing everything Liverpool from the start till the end.
Although I did felt that the atmosphere is not as electrifying as a national game against a team like Malaysia or Thailand. I could sense the a slight struggle between the support for a club they love with loyalty to Singapore.
Case in point...
By the way, KKNN is a Manchester United fan and she willingly accompanied me and dressed up in my Liverpool jersey to fit into the crowd. But apparently, such common sense doesn’t seem to apply to everyone.
THIS IS ANFIELD MOTHERF**KER!
Yup, your eyes are not deceiving you nor is this an edited picture. A bloody idiot dressed in Manchester United’s jersey with the name “Owen” printed on his back strolled down the steps of Kallang for a LIVERPOOL VS Singapore match with jeers and boos from the LIVERPOOL fans and sat himself down amongst LIVERPOOL fans and then proceeded to stand up and wave around while taunting the rowdy army of LIVERPOOL fans.
Yep! He sat there throughout the game unharmed. Only in Singapore I say! Try doing that in England and see what happens to an idiot like that.
Of course idiots come in pairs and we had one guy sitting in front of KKNN who bestowed this ‘fabulous’ view for us throughout the match.
You might say that he was sitting down and was pretty much harmless unless she had a thing for male butt cleavages but right before any exciting goal mouth situation, he would prematurely stand up waving his arms frantically and thus making KKNN miss the action and nothing to watch but his ass.
And her reasoning for not standing up when it happens? She didn’t want to block the view of the people sitting behind her. WAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!! Poor KKNN…
Not a pretty match to look at but the Liverpool fans that turned up made my day!
