Do babies dream???

It's been a while since I have been in charge of my dear son nightly 4oz feed before he drift off to wonderland...

But sometimes, just sometimes, he will start swing his arms and burst out crying... as though he just had a nightmare...

And there are times, when he will smile in his sleep and coo-ing non-stop...

So do babies have dreams? Really amazes me...

Went to queue for the iPhone 3GS on Sat(11/7/09), reached the Comcentre at 9:50am

Unknowingly, I joined the "pre-order" line... and after a good 15 mins in the line...

One of the event security said " this is the pre-order line, make sure you have the pre order slip".

Pointing to another line, here is the walk-in line...

LL, since I'm trying my luck to walk-in and get the iPhone, I had to switch line...

in fact the walk-in Q is even shorter than the "pre-paid" Q. But...

the walk-in Q never even budge... WTF

Since I was there with baby Dwayne and Dearie Cynthia... and Cynthia went ahead in front of the Q to find out more.

I was alone in the Q carrying baby Dwayne in my arm, chatting with a fellow Q-er behind me.

Slowly, but surely... baby Dwayne start to rouse up and want his milk feed... and he start to cry...

No choice, Dearie Cynthia came back to find me and update me on how the situation in front is like...

We step out of the Q and prepared baby Dwayne's milk and started feeding him under the sun (with some shade)

Contemplating whether we should just give up Q-ing, an middle-aged gentleman wearing this polo (with apple and singtel logo embroidered) and white berm approached us. He looked at us and ask if we are here for the iPhone, I said, "Yes!" He said, we should be here with the baby and ask both of us to follow him.

He took us into one of the Comcentre building, let us through some of the security gantry, and led us up to one of the floor. And turns out, he took us to this floor where Singtel is serving some of their exclusive "corporate" customers. He told us to take a seat and feed Dwayne and we will be served at one of the table, once it's opened up. Both of us was like "Wah... Wow" We are so lucky....

And guess who that gentleman was? He is Singtel CEO, Mr Allen Lew.

And after an hour or so... we are done and happily left the Comcentre with my new iPhone3GS...

All thanks to my little boy...

I was following the local HWZ forum on the status of the member having to Q up to as long as 8-10 hours... I guess I was just lucky...
