I just realised that the "search" button on my sidebar DOES NOT work. Will proceed to remove it in a jiffy so by the time the sun is up tomorrow morning (or later, rather), you won't find it there anymore. Not that anyone will notice anyway =pAnyhow, I wasn't aware that the magnificent people at Blogger has come up with a way to upload pictures on blog without the use of an external agent such as Hello or Flickr. I shall, however, continue to upload my pics to my flickr account. As soon as I take some new ones, that is. Truth be told, I'm abit lazeee nowadays to bring my digicam out. Macam tak kuaser nak take aim and shoot saner, shoot sini...
As is apparent from the above photo (uploaded via the newly discovered method), I've gotten myself a spanking, brand new handphone -- the Panasonic X200!! In fact, I got it more than a week ago (before watching Fantastic Four) but have yet to snail-mail the warranty. It seems like everytime I go to my neighbourhood S.A.M machine to buy a stamp, there's always a pakcik/makcik/aunty/ah-so down there who's struggling with the buttons to pay some bills or another. I would be glad to offer my assistance of course, but I don't like to meddle with other people's ATM cards. ATM cards very private stuff lah..
Besides, all they had to do was to turn around and ask -- I would be all over them with my irrepressible enthusiasm to help. At any rate, whenever there are people who hold up the queue at the S.A.M, I'd rather walk off than stand around waiting since I'm such an impatient and irritable sonofabitch. Got no time, Man!!! LOL
Back to my cheapo handphone -- It seemed like a good bargain at the time and I was DESPERATE for a new hp (after the previous one was stolen). OF course, a phone with mp3 capabilities, video-cam, blue-tooth etc etc is very nice and all that, but I wasn't in any place to be finicky. As my mother would always say -- Asalkan boleh pakai, sudah lah~ (loosely translated: As long as can use, it's ok~)
I keep reiterating this point in my mind whenever I see teenagers in school uniform on the mrt or bus, fiddling with the latest hp models from Nokia or Sony Ericsson, which indubitably, have been purchased by their well-to-do parents. Pampered brats lor~ Ok; I admit that's just the green-eyed monster talking.
Oh yeah.. Since I'm a technophobe to boot, I'd better just keep things sweet and simple lest I would gravely discover, on the morning after a reckless purchase, that I've spent oodles of money on a superfluous bauble which is more a desire to conform to trends rather than fulfilling a basic necessity.
