Singapore Loser Of The Year Award

fear my teeth via kwout

And the winnar goes to Joel Pan who queued 12 hours to be the first person in Singapore to own an iPhone. That’s right - 12 hours. I hope his boss is reading this and realizes why Joel took leave. I’d say this is a pretty good reason to have an immediate performance evaluation review.

FACEPALM.

cowboy, I thought I am mean, but, but, but you are must mean-er than me….muahahaha

thats a mad monkey grin for you.

he looks ridiculously high, haha.
i bought mine outside and came back singapore weeks before leh… how come i don’t have newspaper article?

first loser to get his money sucked away

for a moment, i tot the singapore loser award referring to Steven Lim.

oh well.

He’s not the first leh, got so many got it overseas b4 him.

FAIL

cos this is the legal way mahh

What kind of a loser queues up for a phone??? And for 12 hours??? Wonder which organization made him a manager.

i was at the mac shop just now and we put your entry on the web application on the iphone display set WAKAKKAKKAAKKA

cakie is after my heart

He was probably the only one who was there wondering where the rest of the queue went.

give the guy a break. we all have strange hobbies.

“Honestly speaking, I was quite disappointed when I did not see any queue in the afternoon.”

That’s because everyone else had a better use of their time than spending 12 hours in a queue, sucker!

oh c’mon. you guys are just jealous. leave the person to what he fancies ya? no one said anything about you being a cowboy..

and i’m pretty sure his performance has justified his half day of leave. you don’t question why your staff takes a half day of leave out of his/her own leave quota when it’s totally ok from the company’s point of view to do so, do you? no, you let the guy have his half day break to bum, drink coffee, watch movies or whatever he wants, which includes queuing up for an iphone if he so desires.

what’s with the judgemental quips people? i thought the people populating the cowboycaleb place (and CowboyCaleb himself) had better character than that.

Wow, I certainly wasn’t expecting this sort of response, although I probably should have.

For the record, the couple behind me in the queue arrived a scant 5-10 minutes after I did. My boss was fully aware of the reasons for my taking half day leave, and was very supportive, as were all my colleagues.

I understand it’s fun to bash people on the internet, and I’ve done my own fair share of that, and there certainly is merit to some of the criticisms leveled against my decision to queue up for 12 hours. But ultimately, I enjoyed myself and had a great deal of fun, and the experience alone made the time spent worth it. I’m glad to have gotten my iPhone, even though I know many many thousands of people have gotten theirs long before me. I don’t really care.

Hello. Don’t you get it?

Its fucking gay to queue up for 12 hours to get a fucking iPhone, and so happy maciam you won the grand prize lucky draw when actually you spent money on it, and pretending that you are the first person in Singapore to get it.

Merv you got that right

Merv +1

a leave is a leave….

the boss has no “control” how he want to spend it! He is entittled…

DUH~!

I heard… he got the phone for free leh.

Now does that justify the queuing?

So how come u don’t bash the dorks that camp out for movie premieres? Or concert tix? It’s the same to me..

All of you posted the wrong photo lah~!!!

Thiz iz the collect one …

“If you have nothing nice to say then shut the hell up” - Cowboy Caleb

Cowboy is just jeles because he does not have an iPhone and is stuck with some lame-assed Blackberry used by the clueless business masses everywhere. Hahahahahaha!

People have their own likings and would go even waitin for 12 hours because they have already waited for 2 years, what more 12 hours, so stop this nonsense, it’s childish
