This is the beginning. This is Day 0. This is T=0. This is when all things have not become more complicated than expected. This was when you really wanted Iphone 4 or the latest HTC Android phone badly. So with no blood in your bloody head, you sign a 2 year contract. If Heaven permits, you’d sign a 10 years contract if iphone 4 is yours for free.
Oh and you convinced (read:MF) yourself to do it. It’s nothing. I get to recontract after 21 months anyway. WOW. That’s a THREE months discount !
Mid way, when iphone 4s appears, you cry baby and whine. But again, you manage to persuade(read:MF) yourself to upgrade.
2 years is a long time. For those of you who have gotten used to the 24 months commitment, it’s easy. Some have even gone 54 months before. But those were the days. When things were more confirmed. When people know what you’re up to. And there’s consolation. So what’s the deal you may ask.
The deal is signing up for 2 years for the sake of signing up is quite disheartening. It’s like, you have no choice but to serve the country, compared to a 2 years volunteer program. Of course, the mindset is different. The expectations too.
2 years is not long. It’s only 2 christmases. 2 Chinese New years. And of course, 2 labour days. And 2
birthdays. It’s already end of 2010.
2011 Christmas is coming soon. And when Xmas is there, CNY is also around the corner. And Labour day. Then moon cake festival. And then, here comes Christmas again. And then CNY creeps closely behind.
2012 is not far away. Co-incidentally the stupid movie is also 2012.
Godspeed, Alex.
