Gift for myself ;)

While everyone else is busy earning money, I'm spending my hard earned savings... Yes, bad, I know. I will make sure I'll fill up the gap later. But recently, I'm in the mood to spend, by that it often means I'm feeling a little grumpy and thus the shopping mood.

So I am making this purchase as my own birthday present. Ha ha. A bit early, yes.

It's something I have always wanted. Don't kill me please!

A flip phone or some call it a clamshell!!!! And a Samsung GT S3600i! My only spare phone is a malfunctioning 8 years Samsung lady's flip phone or clamshell, which has already lost its antenna. I guess, a good enough reason for me to get one??? Well, I do have my favourite Blackberry at the moment, but it's under M1 contract which is I'm literally loaning from them for 2 years till I buy it off them at the end of my contract (still more than 1 year to go!). I remember how miserable I was when I lost my last phone and was struggling with the 8 year-old spare phone which would lose calls halfway through.

I had been searching for a red or gold Motorola Razr for the longest time, but a brand new will cost me maybe over S$300... I didn't want to spend that much for a spare phone. Or I call it a holiday phone. Guess what? This is less than half the price of a Razr. I walked by the Samsung shop some days back, saw it, and was captivated. It was not till I had walked into the store for 3 times at least before I finally decided to buy it. Yes, I did think for quite some time, walking back and forth. I love this sleek phone and its color. It's like champagne gold, with dark brown theme when you open the flip. A very basic and simple phone, no wifi, no 3G, lousy camera... but most importantly, it is a flip phone! I need just that, and the basic calling and messaging. It should satisfy me :)

p.s: I love Samsung, they are pretty long-lasting in my experience. I also love Blackberry & Sharp (not in Singapore sadly).
