to 'tel' or not to 'tel'

was distracted easily lately, despite clinicals. most prob i'm practising my coping method of escapism unconsciously, but since i'm already suspecting now, it shall cease to be an unconscious process. So i'm escaping consciously now, as evident of my action of blogging in the first place.

Anyway, ever since i got to know that my handphone plan has long passed its 2yr contract period, i'm began to fuss over what phones should i buy. the fact is, i'm very happy with my T610. not much problem til now, only the occasional lag when sms-ing. But since i want to get a new phone, it has to be, in some ways, an improvement of my present phone right?

i have only 5 requirements:
1. screen and camera resolution no lesser than my T610
2. either hav bluetooth, or USB cable included with infra function
3. MP3 as ringtone
4. to be able to access html pages on GPRS, so i can blog even overseas haha.
5. size of phone approximately the same size as T610.

Surprisingly, it's quite hard to find a phone to my liking. Nokia phone designs are way too "special" for me. I like Samsung slide up phones, but they usually lack features. Taken fancy to Mitsubishi M800 for a while, but heard alot of bad reviews. Panasonic X800, XJ's beau (haha) is value for money, seriously, but i find it a tad too big for my liking. 残念ですね~ でも、presently, motorola and S.E. phones do not appeal to me as well... except the new K750 of course. Tt's a beauty. It made me wanna wait for the price to drop.

So as i was surfing the net further, i came across other models tt caught my eye. Have decided to wait for them to be out in the market at an affordable price. after all, my T610 is still going strong! =)

Anyway, the phones i'm looking out for are:
--> Samsung E880
--> Sony Ericsson K600/K608. i think both are low end 3G phones. similar in function but K608 design is more appealing. Will compare prices with K750 at that time, to see which will drop faster haha.

Am also be considering to switch all my mobile lines and broadband to starhub le. Singtel is not giving me sufficient benefits to show that i'm a treasured customer! abit fed-up. Every 2 years, Starhub will send a $100 hp discount voucher to my mum to encourage her to sign on again. I've been with Singtel for 4 damn years and there's not a piece of shit from them. They didn't even have the courtesy of informing me that my 2 yr contract is up!

and the idiotic broadband. I signed up for a 2 year contract tt bonded me at $70/mth for unlimited access @ 512 kbps. Lately i've come to realise that the price for an unlimited 512kbps is actually only $47.25??!?! and at $58 u can get a 1500kbps unlimited plan!!! and i'm paying $70 for 512kbps?????? !@#@%#$%^@&%^*@#$@#%

singtel is just not showing how i'm a valued customer la. It's giving me the impression that it's a giant blood sucking vampire trying to take as much money possible without giving benefits. I might as well switch it to Starhub. With all the link points i get i can enjoy rebates like free SCV channel. At least i'll be rewarded for staying on!!!

adopt your own virtual pet!


In glory of Coralfish, my 1st and last fish, who died on 08/01/06.

You've outlasted Grad,
who mysteriously disappeared.
You've outlived Spike,
whose sudden death, i wondered.
You've battled illness,
that'd rendered you disabled.
You'll be on my mind, always,
My pet, my fish, my dear.


Rest in peace my dear~ i'll miss you...
