OA Retreat Nostalgia

Since it has been lingering around in my phone for a week already, I thought I might as well thrash it out here for everyone to see. This is just one activity of OA - part of Games. Very simple, we were at the erm Shah Alam Lake something for picnic and this game requires us to snap pics together with a list of objects which are located everywhere along the fairly extensive lake park. But meh, eventually this game was abandoned (no points or pictures submitted in the end) or else I thought it could have contributed quite a lot to our shy little group. :)

Too lazy to arrange the pictures in order, so I'll just explain each of em' accordingly. Have fun being amused for the next few minutes! :D

erm this is flag pole. we came out with a so to say 'pyramid' shape.
so i did the 'pointy' part at the top. lol-ness

after some time of persuasion (aka deceit), we managed to
snap a pic of Billy and Alyssa. this is under Fountain. hehee, creative leh! swts.

Bridge. Very simply, Billy is trying to bunuh diri (think TVB bunuh diri scenes).
"lei bei ngo sei lah, mou zho ju ngo!" "mou ah mou ah mou sei ahhh!"

Lamppost!

the fragrant 'tong sampah' i managed to coax David into posing with it hahh.
im such a manipulator, likeee

say Hi to Niza!

erm i'd rename it as 'the thirsty waterfall' because we cant seem to find one drop of water

the conventional water pump together with emo-fied David Ho.
realise something? me and david took most of the shots...
sorryy, most of the others are not as 'tatau malu' as we are.

right at the last seconds, we took the final one, 'Giant logo'.

It might not be the most joyous and comfortable camp, but the sacrifice we are willing to contribute for the good of our fellow brothers and sisters eliminates any kind of dissatisfaction. In return, we learn to be happy even outside our comfort zones, because we have done something worth it.

I do really hope the OA guys and girls - young in age, young in faith - took home a little bit of something from the Retreat, which will help enhance their spiritual inventory and armour. We hope to have another chance to play a part in their lives and see them transform into good and faithful servants of our Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever negativity they face in school, while at the hostel, when interacting with friends, or anywhere, we hope their faith remain.

always your daddy

Such an unholy hour to be awake. Hang on, its Friday!

Sunday is the annual Father's Day. I wouldn't be approaching it with big dreams or grand presents, nor do I have pictures or poems. Whatever it is, he will always be my dad.


TO ALL DADDYS,
JUST WANT TO WISH YA'LL

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

expectations come excellence

I actually told my supervisor that (the blog post title), because the more hope people show to me, the more I expect myself to perform, or I'll feel inferior, I'll feel that I lost a crucial mission. Perhaps this is where all the negativity in me originates. Sounds contradicting and ironic ey? Yeah, that is what makes me, me.

I used to argue back, word by word, whatever mum says. Nowadays I see an improvement in myself not to exchange words, but just let it be. Despise all the arguments at home; creates nothing but stress-related noises. And I know I shouldn't retaliate anyway.

For the first time in my young life, I felt as if I have torn my muscle. Just a typical stretch for the shuttle, but after that I felt a sharp nervy pain at the joint area between my torso and my right thigh. Ah, just another pain I thought. But I couldn't continue walking straight! Rest, rest is the word. But neh, not that bad. I don't feel pain for now at least. I'm someone who will refuse to sit still for long, so I wish it really is just another over-stretching. And my fast-healing recovery system will accomplish its job in no time. Hmm if it IS something serious, you'll find another long post up here. But for now, lets just hope we won't see any of that kind of post ;) Yes dad, I will remember to warm up adequately before games next time.

I was thinking while bathing (it always seems to be during this period), people who endure tough times are most likely the harder worker and the higher earner at the end of the day. The motivation, the cultivation, and eventually, the harvest is so satisfying. Formula? Simple. The only person that can motivate you, is yourself. Working at where I am now, helps me daily to remember that (whatever kind of) rewards come with plentiful of effort and deep-shit hard work. But once you have achieved success, your life will be filled with all the colours you can only dream of. Philosophy, it seems.

parenthesis i'd call

One does not want to make decisions. The other, is not willing to be cooperative. It's pathetic that even the closest people would do things to you. Yeah to be fair, perhaps partially its my incompetence? But it only goes to show a friendly reminder on the more to expect from the world itself. Its really tough and I'd need all the resilience and support from anywhere anything possible. Hmm :/

The first module after 2 weeks is officially over! Helloooooo if you're one of the VKA people reading here :p I'm really glad though, that there is a sense of relationship and a very positive atmosphere in the company, at least as far as I'm concern. And it definitely is a huge boost for my working experience and motivation. I really appreciate the seniors who have treated us very well, and they are ALL really helpful and friendly. Thank you! I am lucky, because I have seen and been on the other side and it kills the whole purpose of enjoying work. And now, module 2 commences! I'm so tired with work and people I don't feel like going on anymore. Cheerio!

and one week just like that

TODAY WAS MASSIVE! The real deal has finally been introduced to us - hands-on guidance to our practical, we technically started already! I despise disturbance, but don't be surprised if you see me walking about (dressing decent) with a folder in hand, and asking talking to adults non-stop. Part of my job really. But don't shut me off too, it IS really good stuff! If you are generous enough, an income earner, it is enough for me to offer you the best deal you will ever make. Behold, PowerLinK and its consultant come..... :)

Thursday, June 3, 2010

the third day...

is surprisingly WAY more interesting! Today is mainly about the product itself we are going to recommend to potential investors when Practical starts next week I reckon. The insurance package is known as PowerLinK (PLK) by Allianz! Today's session was listened intently and non-stop curious questions pelted on the poor senior, and he was brilliant enough to answer each and every of them, well done!

As we become more knowledgeable and skilled, we are slowly sensing the increasing excitement of the internship. And also faintly tiptoe-ing behind are the endless uphill challenges we are about to encounter on the road dealing with skeptical potential clients. Ingredients needed? A bundle of hard work, an amazing sense of charisma, true grit and resilience, and nonetheless, some luck. Insurance has unfortunately produce that 'scam' image but if you went go through what I did today, you will notice how much it can change your life - because unfortunate unforeseen circumstances come without signalling to you in advance - especially at the least expected times, and most of us will be stranded scratching our head wondering if money ever rains from the sky.

So after all that... PowerLink anyone? Very simple. I just need your I.C., fill in the insurance form, and a premium of only RM150 per month, and your life is secured perhaps till your very last breath :) Are you as excited as I was in 'class'? Well, contact me for an equally interesting further elaboration!

and the wealthy

Quite spontaneous actually - or you could say it was meant to be - how during shower I actually thought about how spoon-fed i was ("i am" even?) since I was a little kid. Seeing how my parents provide (services mostly imma add) me with most of the privileges not many parents would be bothered doing. Seeing how they even arrange for me to move into tertiary education (I'm embarrassed to admit) says enough how dependent I am. I'd once in a while wonder how I'd survive without them.

Well, its not the first time I attend work in an office but internship for the second day has sprinkled on me that kind of wake-up call. Seeing how much more I need to learn (and being independent), how many times of extra effort I need to put in, to comfortably call myself stable, established, well-to-do, comfortable, and happy.

2 days at VKA Wealth Planners have so far been pretty good. But for now, we're still being treated like VIPs, but no guarantees for that in a week or two's time, when we will be out to venture and practice what "dull" head knowledge we've been instilled thus far. Lazy me would have to really bring myself up to be a dedicated and hard worker - the only route to larger rewards and experience. Quite different personalities my fellow interns have.

There was a 2-hour talk by 2 Fund Managers today. One, a Singaporean from Australia representing MAN Investments speaking on hedge and following the market trend, and of course, their skill to nick the extras from a trend and simultaneously limiting potential losses. The other, a Brazilian-looking American who flew in from the States, apparently from Castlestone speaking on Gold Bullion. Sitting alongside my fellow interns and mostly investors, I could understand majority of what they were talking about surprisingly. The basis is mostly on the knowledge we have obtained for the past 2 years in University. And of course, the 2 dudes were hired to encourage (lure, i'd say) investors (let me tell you, they are those typical bloody-rich aunties you have seen) to consider offshore investments as part of their investments portfolio. And for the second day, its 430pm signing off from work :)

Tuesday, May 25, 2010

I think maybe its in my blood that I'm a bloody good guy. The heart is always a very pure one. I have to honestly admit, I had my times when I was exactly one of those whom i call "immature" at this time. Who doesn't? But undeniably, it is really such a blessing that from such a subtle thing like going to Sunday School because I have nothing better to do on a Sunday, and because there is food lying everywhere as long as I sit still or at least mumble out tunes for an hour or so, I am what I am today.

I never thought such a decision leads me to become a Christian as I am now, more specifically, God has unconsciously gradually entered my life in such an amazing faint way. I have come a very long an interesting journey after so many years - whether I was just an innocent kid looking for food and Sunday entertainment, or when I was introduced to a Youth group and reluctantly joining just because my parents pushed me to, or I attend Youth just because there is captainball, or even now when I'm playing a much more responsible role. This God has shaped me - in which I'm very thankful grateful for no simple words like these explain itself - to be what I am today, despite many different situations I have encountered right till today. I would still be one of those people having nothing in life if He hadn't done anything about me.

It came to the point when I realize I don't quite need to "control" my behaviour to 'look' like a Christian, was when I know I have taken my life to a higher level, perhaps a step closer to God. I have my natural fiery character, but honestly no situation quite deters me being what I am. I must have thought many times, if I ever return to old ways, it must take something extraordinary. I love you, God.

Sorry, I have failed.

sk8 your way

Oooh btw today I was listening to Avril's Sk8er Boi again. It's one of those songs which is made up of a WHOLE story in itself.

"Sorry girl but you missed out,
well tough luck that boy's mine now.
We are more than just good friends,
this is how the story ends.

Too bad that you couldn't see,
see that man that boy could be.
There is more than meets the eye,
I see the soul that is inside."

7am jogging from Rich's to Bukit Gasing. And a hike up the hills. Breakie at Raju's. And maybe a swim after all...

the very very late

And so, i came back late last night and for the second time this month, didn't bother switching on the comp to do the routine checking and this that (which will end up way into the morning). So I slept after bathing and woke up and decided to do more chores!

Off I went for lunch, went to apply for Touch&Go Rapidpass Pelajar, which offers students 50% off, and a Touch&Go card instead of the boring ones. But apparently they said they are 'very strict' with their policies so I MUST get a certified hardcopy evidence with my student ID card. Meh, don't mind a trip on the train nyway. And then I came home washing the toilet and a few more this and that.

And so, tuning back, while I was on my way for lunch, this dude called me. He apparently is from IBM! Flashing back, the first ever company I applied for internship was IBM, with high hopes of securing a position there, especially since I submitted my resume through Mr. Chai Cheng Sheng ahem :) But they came SO LATE I wouldn't have thought I'd get an opportunity there, and also because time was running out! Not too smart apparently on their part. Although I don't mind going to where I'm set to go, which will commence in June and for 3 months, I felt quite abit of a loss, having missed the opportunity. Its not just the 3 months there, but if only I secure internship there, chances of re-entering after I graduate is several times higher! Its IBM man :( But nevertheless, I trust where God has placed me and I'm going to move on.

I was looking down the apartment yesterday. It was after a heavy downpour and the breeze was ongoing. The beautiful swimming pool glitters from the light reflection, and it was nothing but a perfect time and ambiance for a pleasant night swim. But I didn't have any spare clothes with me, so it remained just a wish. I would believe I'd go for another similar occasion before work comes about. Its way too good to miss. Yesterday I thought of many (probably less achievable) activities to do too.

Outstation trip might be possible if I choose to fork out money, rock climbing sounds impossible cos' its REALLY expensive especially without Eu Bing, Thursday i might just head to Richard's and jog with him till Bukit Gasing, and I will do my sprint hike up the mini mountain. It reminds of the same jog up trailing Gabriel from behind, pure adrenaline, sheer fun. I reminisced cycling moments too, when I used to follow my brother with a junky bicycle from behind when he cycles out to godknowswhere, and he will feel annoyed; probably going to do illegal activities or meet the gf or anything random. And there was once, as if you will be surprised, I skidded on the slippery sandy area, bleeding over, and bro turned back and helped me home. Just one of the few accidents I had with cycling. It remains one of my favourite activities, but I don't get any more of that nowadays. Now, I wish for a bike hahaha.

Speaking of budget control, I have lost my futsal shoes awhile ago, and I'm apparently reluctant to buy a new one. Odd much considering its Han Jung? I don't know, I'm just suddenly not willing to spend a few hundred buying shoes. So last Sun's futsal I was using Jon Lee's shoe (I don't know it just ended up at my house then he left for the States thereafter) and my toes hurt! Stupid Adidas shoes, ZERO comfort, ZERO performance hmph.

I have tons more of chores to do still, some requiring to travel here and there like today's, some seems so much a nuisance I couldn't bother doing but I'll still do it eventually. Other than that, its all relaxing for me, part of gearing up for working in a little less than 2 weeks' time. Owh I am partially going to miss going to University. And the lecturers do work during the breaks, what an effort we students don't appreciate, not to mention know of. Since I don't get to download movies from Uni that easily, I'll be re-watching some. Okay, its getting long. Fullstop.

the pile of love, the piggy bank, and the computer game

Its the first weekday of my holiday! 2 mere weeks and i'll be on internship for 3 months. My one useful activity for the day makes me reminisce a part of my journey of so many years. And I am a no one without coming through these years. Now i'll be waking up every morning to one pile of love, all against the wall. People I will treasure whether I still talk to em or they have gone afar.

Being at such an old age now, it also made me think of times when I was younger, times when all I know is to get latest branded attire and wears. I have come a long way actually. Because when I was even younger, me and twin were already very much opposite of each other. I used to be the one keeping every single coin in the piggy bank, while my sis, will break the bank. When I was richer and discovered the idea of spending, I grew more alike with her. I have grown from all these years, now realizing there is little need to want everything. Though I still go against that notion at times, I know it is in a way, part of my gearing up to the next level - like a computer game - of difficulty in life.

You are all every single part of my life

i'm a pathetic piece of soul...

...or is it my car, maybe both :/ Was driving to lunch happily then i realized something weird, the air-conditioner is coughing out slightly warm air. i check my damn temperature meter (it has been a problem pretty recently) and damnit it was near the H(ot) white line! WOAH i immediately turned off the air-con and wound down the window, still crawling along with the awfully stagnated traffic, even managed a desperate prayer. I was (finally) en route to my destination after some time of blind searching. But our dear friend just got hotter, its has reached friken red warning zone and then towards the next border white meter line! I was starting to panic and started having kiddie yet emergency questions like "What will happen if it goes even hotter?!" "Should I carry on? I'm so near already!" "What if it EXPLODES and I become ashes!" "What if the engine (only) blows and I'd cause a whole center stage drama presentation in the middle of a swamp of vehicles, a hundred pairs of eyes?!" "Is it time to die...?" :(

Not sure if it was heaven I have arrived, but I saw a bus stop where I could pull over and just run as far as possible from the car (just kidding). Struggling right at the end, car couldn't start but restarted and I fortunately pulled over, nicely parked. It was really astonishing and terrifying driving a car which has probably gone feverish beyond feverish. So I survived, had a bloated lunch, even drove the car home. My dad came over to help get sorted out, but I have to say the car was probably just competent enough to steer me home without any major tragedy. It WILL be fixed (yet again) tonight! I even requested dad not to tell bro. My privilege is that he has to work at this time and will not know anything! :) But really, they should perhaps regret deciding on having a major revamp of the car instead of forking out more to buy a new one. It is, in my terms, "unsavable" already, and the more (we have probably send it to the mechanic at least 4 times this time around) we fix it, the more problems exist. On a random thought, the brother (on a better mood) and I were talking about choosing in between 3 RM70k - RM80k cars, between the new Mazda2, the new Honda City and the Kia Forte. Yeah, I presume, just empty talks.

As I have complained, this crazy brother gets insane when he goes through an emo spell, in which I have endured since my memory started operating (you can ask my twin, she probably endures this as much as I do). He will launch a typical rampage, butchering me verbally with all kinds of incredulous absurd statements. Well for the car, i literally SHUT UP just because I'm using his now. Wait till I become more successful than him, and have an OWN car of mine. He is just simply disrespectful and still fail to control his emotions at such an age, so disappointed, the supposed role model. I even complained it to dad just now, and he shrewdly reminded me not to get affected too much/long but focus on my priorities now, to study hard.

Enough of ramblings, I completed my second paper yesterday! It was a major one, which I stayed on the night, fervently attempting to cover as much as possible. Having the perfectionist kiasu attitude at this stage isn't all that bad. I had a very brief nap to reset the mind (just like that of your computer), and I woke up feeling like SHIT! The spin in the head was surreal, I was looking frantically for composure and I obtained it after some time. I couldn't afford to look for it too long anyway. After that, the engine ran smoothly, with lubricant aka adrenaline all pumped I headed for exam unwaveringly. Unfortunately, our brilliant punctuality of public transport halted the progress and I was half an hour late but it only added to my determination. A full-blooded 1.5 hours of solid writing and I managed just to complete the tough paper. I started revising on the subject, having found no reason to believe that I could do this paper. There were just so many tough chapters to cover, and I couldn't seem to grip it. But as I slowly recovered, I realized, if I could just ignore how difficult it is going to be and just focus on doing my best to study through it, I can do it. I did.

I headed home with maximum satisfaction, caught the buses right on time early enough to go to Midv for 6.30pm's Ip Man2. I arrived as late as I was for my exam but the movie was simply worth it I have to say. At the end after Ip Man defeated the Twister, quite bloodily, he modestly told the damn European crowd, "My defeat of Twister today, isn't to prove that Chinese martial arts is better than the Western. Everyone has different statuses in life, but we are all equal. All I wish for, is that we (the Westerners and the Chinese) learn to understand and respect each other. That's all, thanks." What a moment, what a glorious glory, so humble, so emotional. And then, the whites one by one stood up, accompanied by applauses of nothing but respect for the legendary Wing Chun grandmaster.

Today has been so relaxing, I probably need to gear up again for the next paper on Monday. And for now, it has been nothing but a smooth sail.





DONNIE YEN as YIP MAN

Hmm, something cool for me and you

Look, this is what I accidentally found while looking for other stuff but meh, worth reading!

Young adults are at a vulnerable point and take peer pressure very seriously. They worry about their appearance which can cause those that do not have a weight problem to take unnecessary measures. Skipping meals isn’t the answer. In fact, skipping meals is counter productive as it causes the metabolism to slow down and use up FEWER calories. Never, EVER skip meals when you desire to lose weight! This can’t be stressed enough!

One necessary part of the best diet plan is exercise. Sometimes, this can be enough. It helps your body to digest the food that you eat. It builds muscle which naturally burns more calories than other body tissues. Exercise uses energy that would otherwise be converted into fat. If you increase the amount of exercise you get you increase the quantity of calories burned and consequently, the quantity of weight lost.

Consuming water is crucial, particularly when you are exercising. It’s the only food you can eat that’s guaranteed non-fattening.

Rather than consuming three large meals each day, switch to 4-6 smaller meals per day. Rather than eating breakfast cereal and toast for breakfast, just have one or the other then have a piece of fruit a couple of hours later. At lunchtime eat your sandwiches but set aside the fruit or cake for afternoon tea etc. This can keep your body’s metabolism working at peak performance and stop the food from being converted to fat.

Bear in mind that the best teenage diet plan involves eating smaller amounts more frequently, and getting heaps of exercise.


Any changes in your plans?

anguish, resilience, patience

Tuesday, April 27, 2010

this, that, and those

Inadequate patience, overboard language, fairly thin sensitivity, concentration failure, poor financial control, inconsideration, tough luck.

they all kill, don't they?


hmm good to have a new post anyway, refreshing for the poor blog. no pictures tho, sors.

It's the time of the semester again to have this whole trying-to-study moments again, and the Final itself comes, grumbling, movingon, new sem, bum, and the whole cycle continues till I'm too old to remain in University. For now, i'm again at the 'mentally weak' stage trying to garner knowledge competent enough to battle with Final. You know the difficult feeling of having to cramp and overstretch your overstretched brain? My friend terms 'mentally weak' the prettier word for 'stress'. Maybe, not quite there yet. I need to be more serious, to be stressed. :)

But having company seems to help sustain my attention on the notes. And of course, a different environment then that one in my room. Come to think of it, I haven't quite studied much since I arrived at this cafe place.... Hasta luego!

and the big boy

I just came back from job interview! Too relaxing, too complacent, but nevertheless it went pretty good. But would you receive very little allowances (they call it that instead of 'salary' for interns) + bonus and do something you probably prefer? Maybe, but I think I want the money too heh, I'm broke. That's a start, and lets see what else's to offer from other companies. I hope I'm a wanted man ;) Actually, that's about my whole today. I have been lazy.

And people love pics, so I'm gonna post up another random one. This, I transferred from my old phone memory card yesterday. I was at KLCC then, some years back. Erm yes, randomo.

Damn, it's the end of March. Too fast! But, I'm not quite complaining :) CG tonight?

the prized email, the silly walkabout, and the historic photos

And nowadays I've been having all the midterms around, and realizing assignment dues are around the corner, the urgent need to apply for internship (it's getting real late!), and somehow, the reminder to start studying for final hmm, so not me.

But anyway! I actually spent an hour or two applying for ONE friken company for internship position this afternoon - and now, the typically over-attentive Han Jung. Might seem like a waste but hey, their reply was so swift, pure efficiency. It is Accenture - the global management consulting company! One of the biggest consulting company and among the most successful companies in the world!

"Dear Han Jung,

Following a search of our candidate records, you have been identified as a suitable candidate for Accenture Consulting Internship Opportunity opportunities.

Your skills and experience would appear to be a possible match and we are keen for you to reapply."

You don't get these often from a world class firm okayy, give me some time to revel. Well, lets see how it goes with interviews. Going to apply more tomorrow!

Well besides that I have really barely done much. Went for dinner with the twin too. We had mushroom soup, steak, and shared a beef nasi lemak yums (owh yes, next time I will remember to snap photos). We were bloated when done, walked to the car, and I thought the weather was simply too captivating to ignore. The firm breeze accompanied by chilly temperature oozes every inch of my skin; haven't endured this feeling for too long. Sorry folks, I live in oven Malaysia okay! Anyway, we decided to walk one round around the makan place! That silly twin so cina she put her bungkus box on top of my car! So fulfilling it was we decided to walk more! By the end of the second round, we thought we were looking silly, so we surrendered and got back into the car and headed home. Love her lar tho she never fails to irk me.

And then later at night I actually went about looking at all my FB photos! They made me laugh my tooth off with all the comments. Aww, what a moment.

For now, I'm pretty awake and willingly continue on my relaxing activities. Hmm, or maybe I should sleep. Ask me another time. I'm offfff!

Okie for entertainment sake, I'm gonna post A LOT of notable pictures here:

getting cramp at semis isn't exactly what you would wish for

Too much vanity. I should stop.

the unveiling: Nokia 5530 Xpress Music

Ahh, I actually camwhored with the brand new phone! Besides slower pace in smsing and other ongoing adaption, the phone has been pretty satisfying. And for those who are looking for a new phone or who wants a phone (even if they don't need a new one or, they don't have the *ahem* money *ahem zo* to), this should enter your shortlist!

And hereby, I proudly present to you, the Nokia 5530 Xpress Music (excuse the abnormal unusual un-hanjung personality):






*the end*


The week of Uni is done! All the Case Studies, Assignments, Quizzes, Mid Terms...they don't stop me, maybe they do exhaust me pretty severely but I'm alive and well. But for now, one more mid term obstacle to encounter with come Saturday morning. Well tonight has been more relaxing. I first had a deserving nap coming home from Uni, had dinner, and went to Old Town White Coffee (YES, AGAIN! and YES, ice blended mocha, AGAIN!) and did some job/company researches and internship applications. And I'm home, spent some time with the phone, and now thinking I should sleep early and do more serious work early tomorrow. Plan - GOOD.


*sleeptalks*

need a good day?

Today, I'm only going to Uni for one good reason: to attend my Programming mid term test.

Here is what makes today a fine day:
1) It takes approx. 3 hours to-and-fro to travel from home to Uni; my test lasts 1 hour.
2) There are 4 chapters to cover. and the average lecture slides per chapter is 65; 65 * 4, you count.
3) Programming contains a whole lot of 'superfluous' information (at least to me..) - hence why the amount of slides.
4) I'm a Finance student, studying the Programming subject.
5) I took my sweet time getting ready (serves me right) and saw the bus proudly steering past me (from a 60 meters).
6) Walked home and had no option but to drive to Uni. Weather way too hot, pinching.
7) Costs me rm15 to travel like this, when taking the bus requires flashing my monthly pass.
8) I whine too much.
9) Its time to move out from Old Town White Coffee soon, before I'm late for exam, by car.

Hope YOU have a pleasant day fehlahs! :)

*btw, the 5530 has been awesome! I did get the red on black one.

the seasonal syndrome

As my dearest 5310 Xpress Music continues to decline in every part, you can't entirely blame me for looking around for the next-best-phone. Yeah, maybe I'm pretty stubborn with sticking with Nokia, but here I have a pretty brilliant Xpress Music in 5530 - at an extraordinary price for an outstanding gadget:

the blue on white

and the red on black

And also, I bumped into the beauty of N81, again!
