Sweet Talk, Romancing the Air

Yea... I’ve been dilemma-ing between Note 3 and Iphone 5s. I guess the influence of Apple is way too great. When people holding that phone weather you are which level of the society, people look up at you although your knowledge/ IQ are not really up to that standard. On the other hand, Note 3 by Samsung is a strong smartphone. Meanwhile, HTC 1 is another new era. Huh.. Smartphone they are having world war 3 between themselves. For me, it’s very simple, as long as I can stay connected with my family members, hubby boy and friends then I am satisfied. Since, I started blogging, I require good quality camera also. So that everyone can view pictures instead of reading. Now I not yet own a proper camera. For gadgets and technology, I admit I’m kind of slow. I don’t keep up to date nor make them my priority in purchasing. I prefer old style. However human must move on. Innovation helps human. You can name all the disadvantages about technology but I believe advantages win. Just like there are always more solutions than problems.

For me, the worse could happen; the most significant reason not wanting to change is because of memories. My current Sony Ericson K750i served me for the past 6 years plus. That happiness I enjoyed from its benefit, those tears fell on this phone, those happy news I received, all my sw33t messages from hubby boy and all those old days pillow talk, lullaby and sweet words when he is courting me. Haha.. How could I not thank my current phone that goes through 6 years ups and down with me. Sooth me with music, cheer me with pictures, entertain me from FM songs, wake me up every day when mom is not by my side. Last but not least, my old messages with hubby boy when we just started our relationship as early as December 2006; which is like 7 years till now.  Yes, I am someone who re-read old messages and smile like crazy.

Gadgets we used through out these time. Mine was only 3100 which got stole. The 2nd phone is K750i and now Iphone 5s.  Hubby boy de is from Nokia  => Samsung RM70 => Samsung RM500 => Note 3.

My phone has been all healthy. The only fault that he no longer can serve me is technology change. With current camera, trend of communication, and etc, my phone can’t cope with it. Just like how the society abandons the incapable older generation. They were once the warrior of those golden years too.

My post seems very emotional. For you, who think it is just a damn hand phone gadget, you simply don’t understand the moment we share together. It’s true that I very “sayang” my belongings. I take good care of my stuffs and appreciated that they are mine. Thank you so much my black Sony Ericson k750i hand phone for making me connected with family and friends and most importantly, guarded my relationship with hubby boy for so long yet so efficient. Did I just mention that communication is very important in relationship? So, be wise in choosing your hand phone for they may affect your communication reach-ability. Now, you may rest in peace. 

We hereby, welcome the new gadget, new trend of communication and new style for me and hubby boy to dedicated our love to each other every night through a Samsung Note 3 for him and Iphone 5s for her. May our love strengthen with a new era of telecommunication. 

We had a lot of thoughts when either one of wanted a change. He like talked about this topic for few years back. That time, smartphone is not that really in a need. So, I just listen only lor. No intention to change anything also. Really NO. When we both agreed to change together, we aimed to buy around the same time and changed to data plan also. We even talked about which carrier should we choose. Maxis or Umobile.

The major problem is me actually. He already confirmed Note 3 since it was launched or even before. It's just me. You know. Girl problem. Difficulty in choosing and those dilemma mood. Fine. I've chosen. So, he ordered his new gadgets at Sen Heng. After work, he picked me up and went to collect his phone. I was like, you got yours already then where is mine..? I also want mine NOW NOW NOW. While waiting for his business to settle, I called my 2nd brother who run a telecommunication shop at Terminal 1.

Me: I want Iphone 5s Gold 16GB. Got stock liao ma..? (I've been annoying him for past 1 month. Back then, I knew this phone are very scare and I've got final. I command him to give me once stock arrive).

 He said, "Are you going home tonight..? I can bring it back home for you."

Me: No. I want now. Can I go take from your shop..? Teehee..

He: Okay... Come now.

At 2nd brother shop. Once i reached, the phone is there already. Kor Kor helped me with the sticker thingy and casing. All touched up ready to use. Kor Kor said, a tiny small girl like you carry such an expensive and in high demand hand phone be careful lorh. Don't use it when you're walking. *So touched*. And and, I did not go through the hassle of ordering, waiting and this and that from Apple Store. Gold lack of stock I heard. I got it when I want it. So cool. Of course the advantages of getting new gadgets from your brother is, you pay A LOT lesser than market price. Being subsidized. Oh lala~ Oh lele~ 

This first selca with new phone.

Pardon me for the unshaped eyebrow. HDR camera... Everything also show out liao...

Test test... Testing 1,2,4

Did not download any apps yet. So no filter. Felt naked  >.<

The last word that my 2nd brother told me was, go home today. Because it's been quite some time i stayed at hubby boy house. Since that day is Winter Solstice Festival, hubby boy felt guilty for kidnapping his future-father-in-law's precious daughter. So, he went to my house with me for a little while. 

Felt lovey-dovey with every family members around. 

Hubby boy of course played with his new gadgets. While I played with doodler Eason.

I think this little fella is super duper kawaii... hehe..

The whole incident happened instantly. Suddenly go back from work got new hand phone. Not only one but two together. And the day we got was Winter Solstice Festive. I remembered, year 2007 Winter Solstice Festive I chat with hubby boy. He reminded me to eat "tong yun". It's the time when we started to send text messages to each other. Now, we send picture messages in 2013. Are we really that fated for each other..? Voila~ <3

Hmnp... Today my thinking skill lecture Mr. Adrian taught us on environment in higher education.

He asked, who is still struggling to learn at college..?

I feel like raising my hand high high. But i did not. My struggles are not about studies. Is socialize with college friends, the living style and those surrounding I am not familiar with. After staying here for the fourth month, I still couldn't adapt this new environment. I felt homesick although the journey back to my home town is 1hour only.

Then, he asked us to ask a question to our parents.

He said,

''Pa.. Ma.. Yah.. Ummi.. where do you get money for me to further my studies?''

'' Do you face any financial difficulties to let me further my studies..?''

I was actually smilling.

In my mind, I was thinking that I do not have a chance to ask this question. Early of the year, before SPM result was release, my mom already told me,

'' If you do not get any scholarship, I will not be able to send you to college. You gotta do Form6.''

At that time, I was really disappointed. I cried and cried at any time and anywhere. I wonder how many times I had cried for this matter. All I want is to study at a better college. I promise I will do well. But financial is the major problem. Because of this problem, I could not realise my dream. I got to go form 6 and do something that I am not interested. Well, I got a good result. If not I will not be studying at Taylor now. Now, I got scholarship + PTPTN. Scholarship for tuition waiver while PTPTN is for living cost. I don't dare to ask more money from my mom. Because I felt guilty.For now, I am able to study at Taylor. What do I need some more..? So, I don't demand.

Let me tell u guys..

Every month,

RM300-room rent. (I can't afford more expensive room)

RM60.00 - electricity bill for a month. :(

RM20.00- for travelling

RM 30.00-for lunch.

If there is extra, I can use it to 'yam cha' with my ji mui during weekend. ^.^

That means, every month I use RM550.00.

Now, let me ask you.. Is RM8000 enough to support my living cost for 1 year..?

The answer is NO. So.. where do I get money.

Don't ask me. Coz I am also not sure what will happen to me when I am out of money. :'(

How do I get to save that much..?

I cook my own dinner every nite. Mom will prepare me with some vegetables and meat. I don't go out to eat at night. From here, I kinda save a bit.

Then every beginning of semester I will shop for different type of biscuits as well as some snacks to survive la. Then I don't waste money buying snacks outside.

See, to study at a 'branded college' I need to think of money from A to Z.

I think this is how I got my pimples on my forehead. >.<

When someone know that I am studying at Taylor, they will start to blah blah blah all words which I don't like to hear. For example..

'' Waa.. Study at Taylor ar.. So rich''.

After hearing this, I automatic will give them one kind of look. I seriously hate it. Yes.. I have no money. Does it mean I cannot study at Taylor..?

I still remember I am very sensitive to this topic. Whenever my boyfriend brought up this topic to discuss, my eyes eventually turn watery and tears roll down to my cheeks. It goes the same. During my World Class Scholarship interview, they talk about family and about money. I was trying to hold my tears. But in the end, I poured out. I really couldn't resist any more. The scholarship means a lot to me. I thought I ruined the interview. Maybe is my family background and academic result, hence I am eligible for this scholarship.

Although I faced difficulties, I did not regret choosing this pathway. I can go Utar, Stamford or STPM which does not need so high living cost, but I always think Taylor will bring me to another stage of life that I want!

Today, when Mr.Adrian discuss about this topic, I did not cry any more. I am glad I had let go this issue.

拿得起 放得下。

我放下了。

Money matters made me grown up.

I am not like any other, Mr.Adrian.

I thought value of money more than anyone in my class. :)
