My new mobile phone, a Samsung J7

The above phone is a Samsung J7. After 50% discount, I paid $49. This comes with a 2 year contract. The phone is as good as the Samsung Note 4 I had for the last 2 years (below). The Note 4 was expensive. I remember paying about $350 for the phone and it also came with a 2 year contract. If you asked me, there isn't much of difference between the 2 phones.
Out of curiosity, I asked for a Samsung Note 4 but was told it was no longer available with StarHub. They offered me the Samsung Note 5 which cost about $350 after a $50 discount. It's was too expensive, I told the sales lady and decided to settle for the $49 J7.

Poor Chinese lady what's happened to her phone? Interesting video whatsapped to me this morning by a friend.

Had lunch with an ex-colleague

He left the company a few years before me and was glad to have met up with him for lunch. At one time when this guy was doing so well financially that many in cabin crew wanted to be his friends. He was probably the only cabin crew in the 1970s and 1980s to own an Alfa Spider and a Posche respectively.
One day, luck went against him and he lost a lot of money in his business ventures. He became broke and slowly all his so called friends in cabin crew deserted him.
To me he was a generous colleague. I have never had the chance to hitch a ride in his expensive cars like others did. We met a couple of times during our night stops and he did not hesitate to invite me out for meals. That was many years ago.
These days, I gladly return the kind favour. I will give him a treat whenever we meet. We have met many times in the last 1 year since his return from Malaysia.
