1)i prefer to sleep without the air-con on.
2)talking through the telephone is weird.
3)an mp3 is an mp3,a camera is a camera,a gameboy is a gameboy,and a handphone should stay as a handphone. stop combining everything into one!
.
.
don't know when did i have the idea that 'the colder it is indoors,the hotter it gets outdoors.'
making quick transitions between hot and cold is basically a bad thing for your body,
well that's what my parents told me....
can't deny that what they said is sorta true,
since i did fall sick a couple of times from that...
and personally,i don't like to be too cold for one second,
then dying of heat in the next,
then freeze after that...
.
anyway, air-conditioners are bad for the environment to begin with.
i mean,out ancestors didn't need their air to be 'conditioned' to live,
sure,there were less pollution and there wasn't a big hole in the ozone,
but all these wouldn't have happened if the air-con never got invented now would it!
a-ha.
.
alright alright, maybe the fact that my inner nose(inner nose?? err.) dries up upon too much exposure to dry air-conditioned air plays a role in my refusal to switch-on the air-con as well.
there's literally NO MUCUS or any form of liquid in that region at all when i wake up in the morning(if the air-con is on)
.
so no.
no air-cons.
i like fans.
fans are nice.
air-cons are evil.

i used to accompany my granny on her daily walks around the taman
(back when we were still living in a flat)
we would see a few residents doing their own thing on our short,routine-d journeys.
kids cycling,
people walking their dogs,
aunties collecting their dried clothes from the hangers,
uncles watering plants...
stuff like that..
then i remembered this one time when we walk pass our house,and my dad just happened to be outside,talking on the phone,
(back then the hands-free thingy was the 'in' thing)
and my granny asked 'eh?lu eyh daddy ti cho mi?an cua ee ka ki kah ka ki kong ua eyh?'
(translation:eh?wha't is your daddy doing?why is he talking to himself?)
.
as the techno-savvy person(compared to my granny),
of course i told her that he's on the phone..
.
then it struck me..
i imagined myself on the phone,
holding my small mobile on my left.
if the people from the other side didn't realize that i'm actually talking on the phone,
i'd look ridiculous,talking to thin air O____O
and mind you,
that image of me looking loony stuck in my head like elephant-glue.
the horror effect may have lessen over the time since almost everyone owns a handphone nowadays(maybe even two),
but it's still a bit weird for me,talking on a phone.
.
i guess that's why i tend to sms,rather than calling.
.
.
i don't get people these days,
why complicate simple things??
when the first mobile phone was invented, it made everyone's life easier..
well,communication-wise that is,not physically...since it was bulky and heavy.
then some smart-alec started to put games and ringtones into it,
and now you have the Iphone that apparently has so many functions and a gazillion of apps to download and use that by the time you got through half of the functions available,
another,newer versions was about to be launch,
one that offers even more interesting little digital miracles that you never thought you need it.
.
and we're still surprised when some people got so attached to their phones...
irony much?
.
everyone has that phase where you just want to stuff as many things in you phone as you can,
but some eventually grow out if it when they realize that their phones are important to them not because of Angry Birds or Itunes or 10megapixel cameras,
but because they provide communication services.
.
think about it,
a phone is only called a phone because it helps to connect people,
not because of the music,the images it captures,or the humongous memory space for videos and games.
.
i have a different point of view when it comes to phones: (R=random , M=me)
R :wow,cool phone...is this Blackberry?
M :nope,Hong Kong Video.
R :ooh,qwerty keypad...why didn't you opt for a phone with touch screen,or android etc?
M :i had one,and when the touch screen goes bonkers,my head goes with it 'cause nothing in my phone can be accessed without the touch screen...i hate touch-screen phones.
R :so what can you do with you phone?is it good?
M :it's a bit slow sometimes,but it does its task very well. i can't download things like normal phones can since HKV is a new brand and it probably doesn't work with all the usual companies,Youtube etc,but hey,i can pull out it's build-in antenna and watch some tv...spent my whole life filling up my 8GB memory card...surf the net...anduse two numbers at once with the dual-SIM-card slots
R :i see...how much does it cost you??
M :400bucks.
R :2nd hand?
M :nope,brand new.
.
400bucks for two SIM-card slots and plenty of memory space.
i'm not complaining,it's a pretty good deal..
'cause phones get cheaper by the hour...
maybe it costs RM1,500++ for an awesome phone,
but check the price again one/two months later and the latest price would shock you,
and it's even less when it's 2nd hand.
it's like your hard-earn cash just turned into bad-quality toilet paper,purchasing that communication device.
i've been there,i know the sour taste that suddenly appears in your mouth when you see how fast the price of your darling phone drops,
and how many new phones with more apps and impressive specs are launched.
your current phone suddenly looks a 10years older.
(and 10 years is a lot in digital world,no?)
.
and i really hate it when i got into the 5th month using the new swanky phone,
AND ITS FLAWS START SHOWING ITSELF.
system lag.
battery cepat habis.
touch-screen lose its 'alertness'.
lost data.
then i would start checking for new phones and plotting out plans to get it,
ie: scoring the next big important examinations so dad would get it for me as a reward.
.
it's a freakin' extortion-scheme,the handphone market.
.
.
.
.
.
*update*
i also think that video-chatting is weird. O.O hmm.
