So yesterday I bring along my mum to KLCC for a look at the so-wanted iPhone 3G into Malaysia launch at KLCC. The moment I step out from the LRT @ KLCC, I received a sms from Maxis about the Maxis iPhone 3G launch at Convention Centre. Ahhahaa is it coincident? or Maxis can detect I'm near Menara KLCC already.
Even the corridor entrance towards the convention centre have no sign of the iPhone 3G banner. Only until the end of the corridor, reaching the carpark.. finally i saw this.
hahaa then I thought the launching is at the main entrance. Coz i usually go there for most exhibition. But I see no sign of Maxis or Iphone word there instead the jewelry and wedding exhibition. Luckily I refer back to the sms just now. Is at Level 3. Wonder why Maxis have no direction sign board or anything... after asking the security guard, then I followed a bunch of ppl wearing Maxis-T up to Level 3.
hah... now i found them... =.=''
the entrance is abit scary and was like going thru security check. you are being escot into the hall too. so many ''session'' to go thru.
first they stop you and ask whether you have bring the Confirmation ID (of coz i print out mine as i know is compulsory to get in). Then he find someone to check your IC and wrote down your details and rate plan you pick in the Collection Checklist.
Then you are allowed to pass thru the short lane to the Entrance.
At this entrance, they will check your Collection Checklist (which I haven't hold it with me for 5 seconds). then I got a ''Number''.
mum was asking me why is it so troublesome... they don't want ppl to come is it? or scared ppl will steal the iPhone? hahhahaaa i answered her: how would i know??
then i was like don't where to go. along there are several counters demonstrating the iPhone 3G. but mostly they are just chit-chating between their own staff... i try to walk near 2 gals, then they ask me to into the hall... ok so while i was entering the hall, i was stop by a nice gal. she then greet me politely and demonstrate the iPhone to me... and allow me to play some games.... (while i just pretend I know nothing about iPhone.. hahhaaa)
in the hall... there were ppl playing some music with the instrument from iPhone 3G on the stage.
the lights inside is abit dim... collection and activation is divided. i heard that only the pre-book user can go beyond the border. Other friends or family have to stay outside to wait... =.=!!
so there are place for seating... as you can see... the hall is quite empty. i think there are more crowds on friday night during the launching ceremony. they waited 2-3 hours for collection. but yesterday i enter within 15 mins is already 5240 as mine is 5236... hahhaa (but of coz i din't go into that boundary coz i already got
mine.)
oh ya... for those who successfully bought an iPhone 3G, there are a few Maxis staff standing at the entrance corridor there to cheer you up. (like in the US launching) hahhaa
but my hand without the Maxis iPhone 3G paper bag, they greet me thank you for coming too.
before leaving, there is a
Epicentre Booth selling the iPhone 3G casing. I think the crowd here is more than ppl inside the hall .. hehehheee
there is nothing to shout about on this launching after all. Maxis is like having a private celebrating instead of public celebration on taking in the
iPhone 3G into Malaysia.
the Maxis staffs are actually more than visitors. hmmm although the rate plans are really over-priced but still see quite a number of ppl bought it too.
If I havent got
my iPhone 3G last year, i think i would consider the 6 months plan too... coz its still cheaper than what i bought last year... lolz but i know the price now is actually had gone down.
