All because of you...
Well, i got a new phone yesterday. It was a gift from Da. It was the Motorola V3i that I wanted so badly. The Dolce & Gabana Limited Edition gold phone (the previous entry). I used it for one day, and I nearly slammed it on the floor in anger. (I know at this time, some of you will be saying "I knew it". ) Yesterday, I even got scolded by some of my friends who have been reading my blog. They said that "even you know that the phone has no good features, and you didn't even want to buy it for Roger, why now you want to buy it?" (In case any of you do not know what's going on, please go to the archive and look at the article...)
I stubbornly told them that it was really pretty, and it was all that mattered.
Apparently not.
Anyway, I used the phone for one day. From a Nokia user, switching to a Motorola phone was already not an easy task to begin with. Everything was on the wrong side, and it was not very user friendly. Hell, even using an MP3 as a ringtone had to be done thorugh several steps. True, it was aesthetically appealing, definitely, but that wasn't sufficient.
And so, this morning, I told da a very stupid thing. I told him that I wanted a change of phone. Initially, he was quite unhappy about it, but it was just "see, I knew it. I told you so. When I bought it, I already knew that this would happen". Then the afternoon went by quite uneventfully. Because I had the stupid contact time to attend.
Then, after that in the evening, I decided to give the camera a try. Hell! I thought it was bad. "bad" was an understatement. Really. Sheesh. It sucks. BIG TIME! From a user of a 2.0 Megapixel camera, downgrading was definitely hard for me. This was terrible. There isn't even a word to describe the horror when I saw the self portrait look like a bloody big pancake! Sheesh. One word. For lack of a better adjective. Sucks. Big time.
Anyway, then da got really really upset, because he was complaining that I was always spending money without thinking, and always wanting to do something stupid (e.g: changing my phone). Then he got really upset when I told him that I should have bought the phone on my own rather than him buying it for me. That did it. I guess that was the final straw. He really couldn't take it, and started screaming at me, asking me what I was always on the issue of money. You see, to me, this was my way of rationalising it. It was not all about the money.
I thought: If I paid for it myself, then if I really didn't like the phone, I could always just sell it away and get a new one, without any obligations. However, given that it was a gift from da da, I could not really just sell it away. There was always this consideration that had to be taken. I guess it was a discrepancy in the point of view, and he thought that all I thought about was the money issue. He said that just because you earn more, you think you are very clever lor. You go and spend your money. (and more fierce things..)
I know, I deserve it. No doubt about it... =(
I am sorry, da. I really am.
I regret it. It's ALL BECAUSE OF YOU, STUPID PHONE!
*sigh*.
I love you lots. I really, really, appreciate your thoughtfulness and love for me that made you spend so much of your savings on buyin the phone for me. I hope you can forgive me soon. I am sorry...
