i was in bangkok earlier, and throwing caution to the wind, i had frivolously availed myself of my i-phone for the most trivial purposes: i surfed the net, then googled about almost anything that came across my mind, checked my e-mails, and even found time to tweet, on top of logging onto msn. in the process, i also made a couple calls back home and locally as well. considering my respite was truncated to a four-day, three-night stay, i had half-expected the auxiliary charges to be minimal. but it was like "holy, mother-f***ing hell of a dungbomb" when i received my phone bill for this month. and i had thought i was bleary-eyed for a moment, until i looked carefully and the damage read S$1,037.26!
i'm so stowing my phone away in the safe-box whenever i am overseas from now onwards.

GG man, Desmond!
That's a shocking amount! Heart ache, eh?
Pardon me, but just thinking how can you bomb with a 1k phone bills? Did U chat oversea like 24hr non stop?? I'm shocked!
(toomanyfacesinthecrowd) you'd think i'd spend more money, after a big bomb thrown onto me with this phone bill? i don't think so, not at least for a month.
(sam d lee) i should totally just turn off my phone, that way, i'd have no costs incurred.
(candleprince) super heart ache. i am gonna work much harder in my new job now. geez!
(Aaron カイジュン ) i essentially left the roaming on for almost 24/7. lesson learnt, just turn that damned feature off, lest you wanna spend unnecessary copious amounts for unreasonable minimal downloads.
you're always such a spendthrift!!! even when it comes to phone bills.

(anon1) what happened to your bill????? that's absurd!
(^_^) how would you protect it for me? let me hear thee ways. ^^
(survivor_idol) like i'd want to in the first place. i'd rather spend that amount on something more purposeful. like shopping for example!
(ray) ttt, don't worry, you will catch up with me one day. hehe
Well.... as u requested, these will be the following 3 ways i will protect ur phone.
1. NO phone call will be made as most of the time the phone will be used for facebooking.
2. No phone call will made as ur phone will be used as a camwhoring device haha! (Dun worry am not Edison wannabe).
3. No phone call will be made as ur phone will be used for msning.
Hope u like my SERVICES as a PROTECTOR. haha!
