Hunting for a new Bluetooth Earphone set

So yeah, now that I’m using my phone’s NFC more and more for card payments as well as taking the bus/MRT (EZ-link replacement), I no longer want to stick my 3.5mm jack earphones into the phone now to listen to music when travelling.

It didn’t happen. Hence, “freak election result”.

So yeah I went to a food stall recently… and just wanted to get a couple of sausages so when my turn came, the lady asked “what would you like?” and I just said “2 sausages please”, like I always did.

Amazingly, she had a blank stare on her face. So I pointed to this (pic below).
