Celcom wants to get you OFF your phone this CNY?! Here’s how and why

If we had a pineapple tart for each time someone said we were too busy texting, we’d have a clogged artery by now. (Which actually isn’t too bad because pineapple tarts are heaven-sent. Yumyum.)

But everyone keeps complaining about that for a reason though… We ARE always on phones, and that has to a certain extent affect how we socialise today.

Chances are, you’d have checked yes to almost all of them. Researchers have found that this twiddly-widdly behaviour with our phones have made us less sociable, perhaps even making us a little bit blur in forming deep and meaningful relationships.

 

That’s why Celcom wants you to get off the phone and talk in person!

Did you catch that? This Chinese New Year, our sponsor Celcom wants ugaiz to stop texting and reconnect in a more meaningful way. Nobody really likes forwarded CNY emoji greetings on WhatsApp la, to be honest…

If you can’t be there in person, you can pou-tin-wah-chuk (talk really long on the phone until your porridge cooks) as Celcom FIRST Gold, FIRST Gold Plus and FIRST Platinum customers will enjoy unlimited calls to all networks. XPAX customers can also get unlimited calls to their favourite number at only RM1.

Or better yet, reconnect in real life and have a truly meaningful get-together with FREE Grab Car rides for Celcom customers. Maybe help ugaiz save some money if you’re giving out ang pows, eheh. (Valid from 12th Jan – 31st March, up to RM15 off for 2 rides. Use code GRABCELCOM17. More info here.)

Anyway, for whoever you meet or call this season, we at CILISOS have one very solid advice to share. This is one of the most important things in Chinese culture, kay. Always, always, always address your relatives properly. If you forget, thankfully there are tools online to guide you 😀 Don’t simply call them aunty or uncle, or not your ang pow also disappear…… like how ours did……. T_T
