Over the month of October, i have learnt, and seen many new things... My craze for the iPhone/iTouch will be over... I've been asking for opinions from my friends and family... Many of them encouraged me not to buy both... Defiant and fickle-minded like i was, i dismissed their advice... I actually put a countdown to when i will be buying the gadget on msn... It all started when a friend of mine bought an iPhone... Then, it was a really "IN" thing, because not many people had the money to purchase the phone... What's more, its touch screen... Hell of a cool phone... The moment i touched it, i was mesmerized... (literally)
Well, ever since i saw the iPhone, i couldn't get my mind off it... i actually called my friend to get one for me... I didn't even consider the price.... When he told me it was $898, i just agreed... Which was really foolish when i thought back about it... Yes, the craze went on... I went on telling my friends that im buying it when i get pay... Kind of "possessed" feeling... You know what i mean... i think my friends noticed it too... My colleagues too... And my family... Lols
After school today, went back to the main shop to put my laptop... Then went to Hub... Had a long chat with good ol' Uncle Harry... And inevitably, the topic the topic drifted to the iTouch(again)... What he advised me is not to be so rash, and have the see-already-want-to-buy attitude.... Cuz it will eventually kill me... (not literally) He told me that i was somewhat devoured by desire... What i didn't realise was that Man's wants are insatiable... It will never end as long as there are new and interesting things to buy... Well, somehow it enlightened me... And i decided it would be better for me to save up... What my friend said is also true... Since i already have a laptop, why still get an mp3 when your laptop can surpass it already?
Thinking back... It really makes sense after you put everything together and start thinking straight... Haha...
