Am thinking to go get a new phone cos the old one is cranky and needs to be retired but boy is it a chore to go get one. 3 weeks I've been trying to get this done but it keeps getting screwed up somehow. I'm getting impatient with myself, I like to get purchases done chop chop you know, let it be done and over with so that I don't have to worry about it again for the next(hopefully, if no breakdowns occur) two years or so. Think it all boils down to the fact that what I want is not what I need, and in any case, what I want is what I can't afford.

When you ask me what I need, damn, what I need, REALLY need is just a phone that won't die on me in a few months, is user friendly, is relatively affordable and that has a camera function. (just for that extra perk that I've restrained myself from having in the past, everyone's gone on to cams and 3G and I'm stuck in prehistoric age)

What I want though, actually, I'm the sort who believes that we should buy the best that we can afford so that if we use it for two years, the phone still won't be considered that lao pok even as technology changes in the speed of light. Unfortunately, that for me, is a luxury now. I don't care much for 3G actually, so that can be excluded but it would be nice if the function of the camera can be better so I can use the phone for a camera sometimes. The digital camera age has been around so long but I've never bought one for myself before. Is it cos I don't like to take pictures? No, not really. Actually I like to be the one to take the pics so that the memory is in MY memory card so that I can have the pics to keep and not always have to mafan others to send the pics to me or something. I can't though, and because of the way I prioritise my purchases I think I might not own a digicam until 5 yrs later. Hopefully by then I would have happily made it higher in ranks in my company and would be earning a better pay so that such a purchase wouldn't be considered a she1 chi3...

Now? Now I'm just going to settle with a phone that is within what I need and not what I want. Next time, when I feel I'm financially well off enough to think of giving myself a treat, I'll go for what I want. Target time: Two years down the road. ;D
