my new toy!

last saturday, i finally dragged my ass down to a mobile shop and purchased a new phone. been feeling pai sei with Huaqin's long term loan of his panasonic. now, i'm finally the proud owner of a really nifty Samsung SGH-E600C. It's a tiny sliver clamshell phone with all the bells and whistles.

I've always wanted a clamshell by the way, eversince the korean weepy drama craze caught on in Singapore. Now I can actually pretend that I'm an ill fated protagonist in K-dramas. Only there ain't no Bae Yong Jun at the other end of the line. Damnit.

So the last couple of days, I've been proudly showing it off. Taking all sorts of pictures and generally just fiddling around wit h it. But rest assured that I haven't been reviewing ringtones in public places such as the MRT or bus. I hate people who do that. Makes me want to march up to them and give them a smack in the head. But these days, with my trusty ipod ear phones plugged in when I commute, I'm surrounded by noise I actually want to hear, and not that cacophony on public transport.

Friends who saw the phone all thought it's a cool and good looking gadget, but too much of a 'chick' phone, as Laurence pointed out. Zeehan openly laughed at it's small shape. I guess I'm not that much of a chick to carry this off. But who cares. It's mine! I just hope that I won't lose it. Knowing me, it's probably not unlikely...but the ipod's been around for a year plus now, so maybe things are looking up.
