with her new boy, eh eh I mean toy.
warning: this post contains excessive showing-off and jakun-ness elements. Read at your own risk.
It's a calling (or sign or whatever you wanna call it). It definitely is.
1st sign: My Bros water bottle, which is always secure and strong, freaking leaks water into my bag and tada! there goes my beloved ipod T___T
2nd sign: My housemate, who's almost ipod illiterate (as in she doesn't have the habit of listening to songs and playing mp3 player), got an ipod shuffle as her birthday present. She hardly uses it, and so after my ipod is officially declared dead, she lend me hers.
3rd sign: I exceeded my phone credit almost every month! I think i just need a higher cap plan.
Hence,
2nd July - My ipod died on me after swimming in the water pool in my bag for less than 10seconds.
3rd - 8th July - suffered from severe ipod withdrawal symptoms, especially during the long hours of waiting for boarding plane or bus.
15th July - JuAnn mentioned about the release date of Iphone 3G S by 3 company. Replied coldly by saying "Iphone is so overrated and expensive! whoever buy it has no better place to spend the money"
16th July night - realised that one can actually get Iphone FREE by just signing up for 49cap plus $5 every month for 24months. Tempted, slightly.
16th July 3am - checked through the 3 websites. Recalled all the callings. Weighed the pros and cons. Made a silent decision in my heart.
17th July 11am - dragged Ling Weng from her beauty sleep to shopping mall to check out the phone.
And guess what!! The legendary phone has been sold out within the first few hours of releasing. wtf.
Depressed. Walked to a random hp shop and omg they have stock!!!! The dramatic emotional change has completely blinded me that I signed up for 49cap without a second thought =.=
And THERE's the end of story how 1+ got an iphone for herself. It's funny to know that a person as un-tech savvy as me, can actually decide to buy the latest iphone within 48hours of knowing the existence of this product.
But the story of how a jakun got ultra amazed by the awesomeness of her new toy has just begun, hahaha.
The first thing that fascinates the jakun (ps: pretty jakun) is the bubble chat form of text messaging.
the green bubble is sent messages by me, the white one is received message.
Then the jakun was so excited to use the touch pad to reply text.
but she got frustrated within a few mins of typing. Y on earth will people invent touch pad keyboard?!!
she then shaked her phone with anger, and the screen rotated.
and once again, she was surprised and found this horizontal pad is more handy to type heh.
Within the last 48hours, the jakun has learnt that her new toy can
provide weather forecast;
serve as a compass =.= which she doesn't find it useful at all;
Ipod!!! one of the main reason she got this;
dload free colourful and cute game applications;
I was so excited to find cooking mama free games but HECK you can only prepare one dish wth.
save her from being the lost soul in perth. Discovered this in Jeng's car just now. It totally serves as a GPS but it's called google map I dunno la har =.=
admiring self's polaroid photo lol. yes that's yours truly.
and I totally love the scrolling bars to set the time hahaha omg i'm an ultimate jakun.
HOWEVER, the problems discovered so far are:
(1) You have to go thru 1077346746283 steps to convert a song into a 30sec ringing tone to be used in iphone
(2) Bluetooth is basically useless. Only connected to headset or between iphones. t(=.=t)
(3) Battery runs out ULTRA FAST unless you don't touch it at all. Which is impossible because there are so many fun things to do! arghhhh
(4), which is also the main problem, I can't take photos although there's a camera!
I mean of cause I can take photos, the camera is perfectly fine, just that when an iphone with saved photos is connected to my laptop, the blue screen of death immediately appears wtf. pekchek can!
And obviously I'm not the only victim >>> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502
Although I know nothing about the solutions provided in the apple website, but I'm sure this problem will be resolved soon heh. I just need to ask around what to do. Or even better, get a new laptop! (I actually wanted to get a new laptop since forever and iphone is never in the plan y am I like that T__T such impulsive buyers TvT)
Lastly (chehh so high school essay ending),
After staying in Perth for more than 2.5 years, this is the first time I find myself taking this beautiful place too much for granted,
because I never take the effort to discover and explore the essence of this city, yet complain constantly about how boring it is.
very beautiful indeed.

It's heart breaking yet interesting to learn that homo sapiens have extraordinary adaptive ability.
believe it or not, we can actually live without anyone.
when people, who really matter, leave us, we cry, we break down, we curse, we howl for maybe 230947384 days. and then we get better and life goes on.
people and things around us evolve too fast sometimes you don't even know what and who to believe in, anymore.
when's the last time you get fascinated by bubbles floating in the air?I think my character has become so diluted that sometimes i don't even get me anymore.

oh btw, I'm back in Perth T___T (from Canberra, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Adelaide for 2 weeks btw) finally back to my warm cosy bed and own comfort zone and loneliness too =(
believe it or not, I actually find Adelaide, where everyone claims as a kampung, is a more enjoyable part of the trip compared to Gold Coast, the famous tourist spots with 5 mega theme parks. I thought I'm the only one who has this different weird opinion because I have my good friend there until I found out that Ling Weng and Yee Fang feel the same =)
I guess it's the company that matters, afterall. No matter how fun and interesting a place is, once u go with the wrong companion, everything can go wrong. And vice versa.
I guess people who haven't been to Adelaide and Perth should stop telling others Adelaide is like terengganu, Perth is like Kuantan. It really makes them sound very idiotic for making assumptions out loud before they even take effort to verify the so-called statement.
Let me, the wise budget traveller (a term created during the trip, haha) tell u where's fun and where's not.
Melbourne is the best of all,
Sydney is more to KL-hustle-and-bustle-city alike,
Canberra is a small peaceful town with gloomy weather and buildings during winter,
Brisbane is a crowded city with LOADS of hills that taking a bus is like taking a mild roller coaster,
Gold Coast is the right place for excitement and laughters only with the right people,
Adelaide is not as small as what everyone thinks, at least I had so much fun there,
Perth has many places of interest too, but only accessible via private cars or long journey of public transport
well that still depends on individual's liking. coz apparently Sarah loves Sydney more than Melbourne, but then I shouldn't really take her opinion into account as she proudly claims that others think Sydney is a smaller version of Auckland. Hah, the biggest joke of the year. I don't think there's any city in New Zealand is any bigger than Sydney (and this opinion is made based on experience and observation).
Hahndroff, a small magical german village 45mins bus ride away from adelaide city.
This morning, I woke up at 5.30am to welcome a friend's mom and her friend at the airport. We then had breakfast at Farrel's, which serves BIG AMERICAN BREAKFAST hoho my fav! I had 3 american breakfasts in 2 weeks time, ahhh the bliss~~ The crispy bacon, fried egg, hash brown, pancakes, sausages plus a glass of fresh orange juice. Having a breakfast like this, you just have the feeling that you will enjoy the rest of the day =D
Oh I was actually trying to say, my friend's mom's friend is from terengganu! This world is so small it started to freak me out. At first I thought aunty is siong yong's mom when she mentioned about him. AND THEN only I realised she's leena's mom. What a small small world. (and when I'm typing this, I saw siong yong's msn signing in how creepy is the coincidence omg). I feel so homely when aunty and I talked about kt.
Homesicknessssss.
my sis and my fav house maid! who's leaving for good, very soon T__T
Btw, special thanks to all the hosts in Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide who offered accommodation and took the time and effort to bring us around! even when I hardly know some of you back in Intec.

*if I accidentally leave anyone's name out, please do let me know!

Photos will be up once I got them. Since I still have 3 weeks holidays with zero plan, I guess I have no excuse not to blog about my trip, unlike last year! only 2 posts for 3 weeks vacation in new zealand can die.Labels: 1+, emoism., FuNfUnfuNFUnfUN, thoughts, travel
