New phone, new beginning.
Mom woke me in mid-slumber this morning. I was rather groggy as I hadn't had enough rest. Plus, I dreamt that the worms were out to get me!
Ehem.
Anyway, she told me to copy down and compare the details of the different iPhone 4 plans under different phone companies, and before I knew what was happening, she told me to get ready and Dad, Mom and I went down to the Singtel shop to get my new phone.
It turns out Mom has some kind of work bonus so many people in our family are changing their phones. Mine is an exceptional case, since the colour on the screen has gone all funny, the words linger after I cancel them, the buttons are cracked, the spacebar doesn't work, etc etc. Plus, I was surviving on a top-up card! However, I am proud to say that after almost 3 years of usage, it is still in quite good a condition. No scratches or anything!
Yes, I am a good phone owner.
You should see the care with which I treat my laptop. The people looked at me crazy when I brought my laptop and charger to get my charger changed. The original keyboard tissue-covering thingy is still there, and I store my laptop with a soft wipe-cloth.
So, well, I finally got what I wanted. I can't help feeling guilty, though. I am lucky, SO lucky. There's Wii, there's laptop, there are iPod(s), there's camera, now there's iPhone. I can't imagine the number of people this amount of money could feed. I felt guilty just having a feast on Christmas Day.
But, thank you, God. I know I am so lucky.
I wonder how Franco's doing now? Are Charlie, Oscar, Bob, Rabbit and Elvis throwing a party in Heaven? Philippe Jaroussky must be all snuggled up in his overcoat and sipping wine.
Please let me meet them all one day, some day, soon.
Thank you, God.
Merry Christmas.
