The long awaited IPhone 4 has finally available in Malaysia. Everyone is so exciting about this new upgraded smartphone and successor to IPhone and IPhone 3GS. The sleek and sophisticated did manage to grab my attention! I was so fascinated as my classmate, Joo Ean suggested we buy the new phone together. Since my current mobile phone, K800i looks quite old, unattractive and dull, I had this sudden urge that burgeoned rapidly within me when Joo Ean told me about her plan.
However, after mulling over and over about the pros and cons of buying the iPhone, I had to convince myself it is unworthy for me. I mean, it is not so suitable with me and somehow I feel that it is unnecessary for me to spend this prodigious amount of money to buy this highly-coveted phone.
Buy me or not?
I can only think of 2 advantages over the many many disadvantages. Here’s what I had been thinking:
Advantages:
1) its design is sleek and attention-getting. Everyone would turn their head when they see me using the phone (you’re so vain!)
2) I felt that it will always stay in trend
Disadvantages:
- I won’t use up all the applications in the phone, they will be wasted. so they become unnecessary for me.
- If I bought the phone, I will not have any more money to spend on other things like going shopping, watching movie or dining out with friends with sumptuous and scrumptious food.
- I really can buy many new shirts, shoes, bags….that i really wanted.
- New camera may be
- or a MP4 player?
This was what I got after considering much for every aspect and how the phone will cost me (if i ever buy it la). If I subscribe for the cheapest plan in DIGI (RM58 per month), I will have to pay up to 2 years (24 x RM58 = RM1392). This is just for the basics monthly phone usage, without adding the extra that you would incur if you exceed the quota. Besides, the phone itself already cost RM2090. So if I buy and subscribe the DIGI plan, then they will add up to a GRAND total of RM3482 which I can use to buy a decent high end laptop already! I would rather buy the latter because….(no need me to explain the advantages of owning a laptop right?)Furthermore, I would have to scrimp and save in this 2 years because I wont have any money left for each month. No more shopping. No more entertainment. And no more outings with friends.
So, in order to ‘reward’ myself for my self-control act, I went to shopping at Times Square and Sungei Wang with Jun Hui and her sister yesterday. Initially, I was only planning to watch a movie at Mid Valley. But,knowing that they would go to Sungei Wang to Sing K, I quickly agreed and joined them. We had a fun day there and bought a few things too in order to pamper myself.
A chinese zombie black V-neck tshirt.
A skin tight jeans. I had been longing for it for very long time as I am really bored with my old blue jeans.
A pair of converse sneakers. It is out-dated, but they look good with my jeans!
A belt. I got it together with the skinny jeans at Shibuya with some discount.
A Puma bag. Got it a month ago at Timesquare too.
And these were what we had for our dinner:
Small servings but nice. The sauce is simply irresistible!
Apple green tea juice.
My order. A dessert which tastes like marker pen because it contains almond.
Though I cannot own the iPhone, I still can have very much fun with other things!
