never.a.boring.story

oh goodness.i seriously sickly badly need some serious help here.

when you want something just so so so,ever so utterly bad.but you know, you dont need it.but u'll juz dig up sum reasons saying you DO need it.and you come up with an alibi,to cover the guilt.then at the same time,ur conscience comes kicking back in for a mild few seconds then the burning want lights up again.persuading your subconcious mind that you indeed DO need it,as if its a matter of life or death.

tell me.tell me,WHAT, tell me what do you do to make it go away??

okay.so heres how it goes,i was pretty complacent with my current phone (sony w995) and i ws just waiting for an iPod touch to join the family in conjunction wif my birthday.but since we're moving and papa's fortuner going away on a never-to-return-again basis, i thought to myself that as a considerate and understanding type of adult,i should wait till the time comes.till i feel less guilty.

but then.

i've been holding up my wait too long and i think it,has lead to a terrible, horrible, indescribable series of tragedic consequences just waiting for its time to fall in front of me one by one.

oh no.i'm mumbling.thats a sign.i do that when i want something BAAAAAD.sighhhhhhhh.

okay.okay.okay.okayy.okay.oh my god *slapsss* okay. *deeeeeeep breaths*

at FIRST,i wasnt impressed by the iphone 4,just normal lah,to me.plus,its bulky.big.i know the battery wont last long,and the camera is only a 5mp.3mp lower than my current camera.

sighh.

spending a week around koreans (each of them using iPhone 4),accompanying my friend for an iPhone lookout, and finally coming to find that my uncle has switched to an iphone 4 and seeing all my cuzzins play angry birds happily has DEFINITELY brought my stand to not buy an iphone to a VERY flimsy,jell-o state.

one fine day, wont it be cloudy with a chance of iphone 4, dropping out from the sky, PLEASE?

goshhhh.i do need help.fine.FINE FINE FINE.*slaps*

as a means to overcome this overpowering drive of desire within me and as a mechanism of habituation(what crap am i talking abt?)

lets cut to the point: here are reasons why i should NOT buy an iphone 4

*meltssss* i am so pro-iTouch.haha.

seeeeee?sooo boxy.its like a pack of cigarettes.aesthetics value = not satisfactory.

here are the side by side tech specs comparison

i'll skip size and weight cuz they differ marginally.BUT, a plus point on iTouch is that its not so boxy,being more thin,curvy and sleek.hahh.thats one perfect solid reason,take that iPhone 4!!

END OF STORY.

yeahhh.i dont need one.i'm convinced(partially)

;)

its a big fat lie if i say i CAN live without my handphone.and i bet for everyone else too.my handphone,is like my second heart,my pace maker (ok.terlampau melampau).i just think its something i have to have by myside,my reminder,alarm clock,boredombuster,birthday reminder,organiser,calendar,camera,dictionary,music/video player,my ultimate medium of communication=my lifeline. makes me think,how did pple zaman dulu survive.maybe,like this;

haha.did the flintstones communicate like this dlu?oh,now i remember.mr flint had a handphone right?except it was made of stone.or,something like this;?

motorola microtac, first cellphone ever made

banyak laa micro, macro ade la.this can be used as a murder tool.if it was this phone naomi campbell threw at her assistant, she'd be imprisoned for homicide already.

evolution of handphones

then came the bulky one(second from left,pic abv).i still remember my papa's phone.blue colour.giler berat,i dunno how it fit into his pocket.haha.and there were these jokes, when pple call u'll laugh bcuz the vibrating is ticklish.=.= agak LAME~ *capital L*
and now we have:

i-phone and blackberry;dengan torch x torchnye.
infact ade org nak buat iPad jadi phone.LMAO.

tapi mine:

ok.there are some minor scratch.but i just love it as it is~

it doesnt matter if all my other fmly members gune yg touch screen,and i'm the only one left behind..(na wat camne xde rezeki) lol.at least i cant count on my bby; it doesnt hang(as long as i dun overcrowd it) the battery survives long enough, it has bluetooth for easy file sharing,wiFi,video playback,sweet camera, and most important;the phone itself survives: me.

currently my message tone is a recording of a bunch of kids(ank2 intec staff) saying: 'kak nabilah,kak nabilah ade message.kring kring'
papa dah naik meluat dengan this messagetone.he'll immitate d tone in his 'perfectly' high pitch mode voice and then say'hish,sakit hatiii ak' sambil geleng kepala.den suddenly just now he said asked me to record my voice and do something similar like that for his messagetone.BIG HAHA!

oh.one eenie meenie tiny confession; i dont quite understand the obsession with iphone( crappy pics,short battery life, hang) and blackberry(is'nt it hard to fiddle those small keypads?)
