i got a new phone today ~ analog mobile phone. well, it ain't that analog, but it has black&white dot-screen with blue back light. no extra function but call-in, call-out, text-messaging, phonebook and a few board game.

the phone is motorola c113 and it costs me 990B. [around 30$] some clothings i own cost more than that!! at first i was gonna buy ericsson t10s since it was my very first phone~ but i couldn't find a "juicy blue" and a new one [only second hand avaliable]

colour-screens, why need them? unless u have a built-in camera in your phone, which is not as good as a digital camera itself. [by the way, i still fancy my film camera, Nikon F3] u need wap? with a 13.3" fujitsu laptop, u'll get a better vision with ADSL speed. MP3 player? what's ipod for? multi-tasking equipment seems like a dream, but each function can't compete with the real equipment. it's time to get back to its core ... phone is for calling and messaging!!

i have a project deadline tomorrow morning, but i must blog this now!

first thing first, my blog looks kinda messy, sorry about that. since blog.com decide to change its format without any warning, everything was messed up. and i'm too busy and too lazy to fix it. i mean, it's CSS and coding and stuff. maybe after my thesis, ok?

another thing worth mention ... an iPhone, topic of the moment .. it's now a real thing, no longer rumors and photoshop-photo leaks.

now, the subject of the day!!!

AMAZON.COM

i've ordered DVD boxset from amazon.com on jan 4th. guess what!!! it's here!!! i didnt pick the most expy shipping, and the estimated delivery date is jan 25th ... that's 1 from 3 weeks!!

here's the super packaging!! with super fast shipping!!

and these are what i've purchased ... two boxes of miss mars, and tempy "the bones"

ps. all those pics were taken by my new camera phone, benQ s88

i know it's a bit lame but i'm so exciting ... i signed up for e-bay a few days ago cuz i really want the diana camera and i couldnt find one anywhere in thailand. i tried to bid on every diana i found but i've been outbid. then i decided to do a "trial bid" (also in oreder to get used to the bidding system without losing large sum of money)

my first bid officially over and i won!! the payment had been done via penpal and all i have to do is wait for the cuite to arrived and comment the seller.

this is what i buy ...

cute, eh? now after i get it. next question is where should i wear it? i mean i do have a few holes on my ears but none on my belly. afterall it's a belly jew. i ask nong tee and she said it a lil too big for the ear hole ... does that mean i have to pierce my belly? hmmm ... now i need to sign up for fitness center membership and get myself a flat ab. damn ... that sounds impossible.

Hong Kong!!! second time here, the first time was 5 years ago. this time ... there's only 3 ppl, me, my sis and my brother. the trip is kinda casual and we walk til our legs fall off.

with an hour delay flight, we reach Hong Kong airport at almost noon. we stay at Park Hotel ... somewhere on cameron rd., in tsim sha tsui. spending the fisrt afternoon walking around tsim ... near our old hotel, mirama (which is way more fanc when the one we stay this time cuz our parents were coming too) the shop havent change much from what i remember. our main transportation is the subway and our leg! no, i didnt shop til i drop ... although i do get some cute stuffs (i'll show u later the cutest thing i found) ... we spant most of our money on subway and FOOD! here's some pic just to make your mouth waterin'

ps. photo upload system is error!! will fix it later.

after months of browsing the same webpage everyday .... i went to siam paragon today and the LOOP finally imported this cute collection, the UNZIPPED.

it's a small duffel bag with a small hole in the front pocket. with this hole, you can pull out your smalltalk, headphones cord out of that hole ... with out let your zip open or risking your wire to be zipped. it's quite a stupid concept, i know. sounds very "แถ" but i still love it. especially, with my iPOD nano ... i'm now crazy about everything that supported it.

at siam paragon, there's only 4 colours (out of 5) avaliable .. and the black/pink isn't look that good in real life as it did on screen. so i decided to wait .... for like 3 hours ...lol. i went straight to Chidlom after an afternoon meal @grayhound siam center with Nanan and Temmie. Sadly, Chidlom only has 3 colours, but they offer more models in the collection. whatever. i already made up my mind the first time i saw the webpage that i want this small duffle ... only thing i have to pick is the colour. luckily, i had Temmie, the colour expert to help me. after 10-15 mins of pulling the stuffing paper out of every colour and try them all, i ended up with the yellow/purple one. what a scheme! right?

another happy thing is ... it only (?) cost 1400B. the reason i said ONLY is when i first saw it, it cost 32$ (about 1300B.) i tried to buy it via some thai online store that offer these kinda service (they imported stuff for you, and shipped it right to your door. pretty good way to shop for those who doesnt have a cradit card, or US address cuz sometime those web doesnt ship abroad.) the lowest price i got from those shop (included tax, shipping, service charge ... ) is 2300B. which is a bit too pricy for such a small bag.

well, i've just re-searched. the link to the collection is dead, dont know why. so i cant show you the pic right now. have to wait til i borrow my friend's camera. can you believe it? i LOVE photography .. and i tooks TONS of photo ... but i dont even have my own digital camera. i only have Nikon F3 my dad gave me .. we'll talk about this later.
