New Toy

My new handphone.

Its been a long time since i updated my phone model. I don't know, its something which is out of my nature, to buy expensive and top of the range stuff.
I can buy these things for others, but somehow, for myself, it just doesn't happen spontaneously. Its a form of deficiency i tell you.

But things have changed.

Why did i buy this phone.... well, i guess i could only blame/thank melvyn whose father bought the exact same phone. When i saw him holding it during one of our mahjong game.
I fell in love.

To be honest, i never believed in love at first sight for couples, just seems too unreal. But love at first sight for inanimate electrical gizmos, ah, thats a totally different matter altogether.

Using this phone now... ... i really love it. Feels manly(just try it!) to hold, its sleek and small ( all the things i'm not), takes great pics and videos, plays great music and sermons ( something to turn on when i'm going to sleep, as opposed to my laptop which is way to0 bulky).
And i guess the best part is that i bought it with my own cash earned from teaching part time.
Its just something else, to be able to purchase something with your own cash. Its thereuputic in its own way. Kinda like a coming of age of sorts.

And to finally own a phone which is current... ... its a good feeling.

But bad news is that i seem to be purchasing expensive things nowadays, or at least thinking of doing so. Like the playstation 3. Hmmmm..... .....

Self control.... .... Need... self.... control....

Papers

Life has been a crisis of stress and papers to be done and handed in. I basically had no life, no motivation, no nothing... ..., its like the life has been sucked right out of me, and to be truthful, the stress really got to me.
And it is still getting to me.
Well, what now then, 2 papers down, draft submitted and just waiting for it to come back, its going to be really overdue, but in my capacity, thats kind of all i can do physically and mentaly.

All i need to do is to gather myself now and to strengthen my resolve to complete this last lap of my education well.

Something i read from mini-shorts blog. http://www.minishorts.net/

After reading it, was was like.... omg, its hilarious.

But dun come shooting me if you don't find it funny.

"

This was what happened. I wanted to call Mum to tell her that both of us were going home for dinner tonight. Instead I accidentally dialed '3′, the link to the boyfriend's number.

He picked up the phone and I went, 'OH DEAR I'm supposed to call Mum but I called you instead, so so sorry.'

'How come you always call me in mistake? Don't you put me on Speed Dial?'
'Yes I do, I put you on number 3.'
'Uh. You see, you put me on number 3 and you can't even remember.'
'Well at least I put you right next to my Mum.'
'So?'
'You don't even put me next to your Mum. You put your Mum on number 1 and I'm on number 8.'
'Eh you stupid or what, number 1 is voicemail lah.'
'Oh yeah, you're right. Then you put your mum on number 2…'
'Number 2 is Leslie lah.'
'Then it's number 3.'
'Number 3 is Nicholas.'
'Ok…, then number 4.'
'Number 4 is home!'
'Then you put your mum on number 5…'
'5 is my sister lah.'
'6 then.'
'Ok 6 is.. yeah 6 is my mum.'
'See! You put your mum on number 6 and me on number 8…. '
'I put it like this: first row, friends, second row, family, third row, girlfriend.'
'SEE! I'm not even in the first row.'
'You're on the third row!'
'I'm not even on the same row with family, I'm one row behind family! Not even on the first row with friends! I'm on the last row!'

'You siao char boh, you go cinema you want first row or last row?!'"

Heh, women.... can't live with them, can't live without them.
