…my phones, that is.
Oh this is me trying to be all techy are you excited! wtf
I never had very high tech or cutting edge phones.
I’m not a gadget person and I’m intensely shallow so I based all my phone purchases on … yea how it looks wtf.
My first phone ever! I was 16 and my parents gave it to me for my birthday.
Yellow backlight check.
Digital looking words check.
Absolutely heavy check.
Tim said Sagem is not even in production anymore? But I loved it! It was shaped like a jellybean and nobody else I knew had this phone and I like being different in the things I own.
This phone came with me on dates with my first boyfriend ehehehehe wtf. We both couldn’t drive yet so we’d take the train from Subang down to KLCC just because it was the only shopping mall that had a train going to it.
But later on I found out that another reason why we went there is because most people we knew didn’t hang out in KLCC so they wouldn’t bump into us and find out we’re dating FML.
2nd phone. Age 18. Blue screen and polyphonic. It was tiny and had cartoon pictures in the menu! This was the start of my love affair with flip phones.
I brought this phone with me to college when I was doing SAM at Taylors. Again I was so proud of it cos nobody else I knew had this phone either.
This phone took me through a nasty breakup with abovementioned boyfriend but it also started ringing a lot more because I guess this was when I stopped being Audrey the Ugly wtf.
I brought it with me to the US but couldn’t use it there cos it wasn’t triband.
Came home for winter break first year and lost it outside Atmosphere (when it was still around wtf) when I was standing by the side of the road and a group of Malay men grabbed it from my back pocket T_____T
Age 19-20. I saw the commercial with Jay Chou and knew I had to get this!!!11111
Pink! Small! Only thing is not flip phone. Also blue light and polyphonic and by then most people were migrating to camera phones but I didn’t care.
It was also triband so I happily brought it back with me to the US. And found out that Angela had the same exact phone as me she used in Canada /boo/boo except hers was metallic pink and white.
Age 21-22. My phone in Japan! I signed up for a phone plan there and this phone was free.
It was my first ever camera phone! (yea in 2006 don’t laugh)
Because the Japanese use email on their phones more than anything else, I suffered with this phone typing out painful emails in Japanese to my friends.
Actually sorry this phone was a blessing! Cos like any other phone, it had the dictionary option in its messages so whenever I didn’t know how to write a word in Kanji I’d just spell it out in hiragana and let the phone do the work for me!
I used this phone to mostly email, call Angela Luo and David Roy wtf and my okaasan to tell her what time I’m coming home.
Oh ya also in a short period when I thought I might have a fling with a Japanese guy I used the phone to communicate with him. But that very quickly ended because he was very quiet and I was very er linguistically inept wtf.
Me and Angela with our new Japan phones. This was the era before iris-enlarging contacts wtf.
I stopped using the phone when I left Japan because it didn’t have a sim card or a slot wtf.
After that my phones just get sad.
Age 22. With my Japan phone rendered useless, another ex boyfriend had pity on me and gave me his old Sony Ericsson (maybe also because by that time he had his sights set on another girl WTF). I didn’t like how it was big and silver so I pimped it up.
(didn’t do a very nice job of it though)
I think someone said it looked like it grew pimples -____-
First phone with mp3s! Didn’t use this phone for very long though because its buttons were screwed. Very hard to push and by that time I had gone back to the US for my last year. I went back and remembered that I had closed my phone plan before I went to Japan so I had to get a new one (and new phone)
This is the phone I got. Age 22. Actually no it’s not. It’s actually uglier but I couldn’t find it so I just googled Ugly Nokia phone and took the most similar one.
Mine was black and like a brick. It was my first and last Nokia. Because Nokia is for the masses everyone has a Nokia!
It was color screen (vaguely) and I can’t remember if it had Snake on it wtf. Hated every minute of using it and if someone asked me if that phone was mine I would say no WTF.
After a semester I got a new phone plan. Cos the Ugly Nokia was actually a prepaid phone and I found that it was cheaper to get a proper postpaid line.
So this came free with the plan and I used it for a pretty long time!
Brought it back from the US with me and unlocked it for RM80 wtf.
Oh I was using this phone when I met Tim /shy
And then slowly the battery started to die…. and the phone went into random comas for no reason. (now that Ooib is back, he’s using it wtf)
Then a few months ago Fat Her went to Hong Kong and came back with the fake China iphone for me.
I had to use the tips of my nails to pierce the buttons each time and as a result, I developed very good aim wtf.
Unique feature: there was no way to turn off the camera sound so every time I took a picture the phone would sound like a bomb was ticking and going off WTF.
This phone broke when I dropped it one day and the touch screen cracked.
And now my LG Icecream!
Very easy to use, easily the most high tech phone I’ve ever had and absolutely beautiful.
No stories to come with it yet though it’s still early days:)
