Double Joy for Me

Double joy within one week for me!

I went back home last Saturday, 5th January 2008 after the final exam ended. I was so tired at that time due to lack of sleep for days. My parents picked me up told me that there's a parcel from Lien Ghee waiting for me at home. I can't to wait to be back home and see what's inside the parcel.

To my surprise, it's a Japanese doll! A nice Japanese doll! What a surprise! There's words inside a card stating "Happy 22nd Birthday". It's my 22nd Birthday present! So it's a surprise comes early for me. I was really touched. So it's a surprise comes early. Lien Ghee never forgets my birthday. She never forgets about me. Thanks Lien Ghee! I will take good care of the doll. It's the most precious gift that I ever got for my birthday :D.

Second joy: I got my Nokia 6120 classic yesterday finally!! I paid on Monday and the parcel is delivered to me on Tuesday. Wow! These people in Lelong.com is really efficient. Impressive!

Sleek, elegant, classical and smooth, it justifies to the word "classic" of Nokia 6120 classic. The clear sound of melodies transmitted from the phone gives pleasure and joy to the ear of the listener, the smooth surface gives soothing sensation to the touch sense.

There's a lot of functions awaiting for me to explore! Gonna take some time before I'm familiar with all the functions, hehe. But I had difficulty fixing the SIM card into the phone though as the slot is too tight. Oh yeah, it has 2 cameras too, so making a 3G call is possible.

Can't find the right words to explain, let the pictures do the talking...

The back view of the phone.

The front and back cameras of Nokia 6120 respectively... You know, I saw people uses front camera as a mirror, it is useful as mirror to me as will if I did not bring one, haha. The back camera is a 2.o mega pixel camera, not the best for a mobile phone, but is good enough for me to use and survive.

Okay, I might sound like a show off here, but I can't hide the joy of owning this phone. After all, I pay for it with my own money, it means a lot to me. Furthermore, I went through the pain of losing a phone in June 2006. Can't forgot the situation till today.

That's all for now.

Thanks to Lien Ghee again for the present from Japan :D

Phew! Finally done with the post after taking a long time to photograph and edit the pictures. What an achievement! I'm no professional photographer... so the pictures taken and edited are not as good as those of professionals of course. Nevertheless, I do love my work, haha.

My Own Nokia 6120 Classic

I was browsing through Fu-yoh website one day and I discovered something there. There were bidding activities going on in the website. It was called B1D DAT. I was attracted to the items that were on bid - Nokia 6120 and Sony Cybershot DSC-T2. Something about in me that tells me to bid for the items.

On the last day of the bid, 2nd January 2008, I woke up at 11 a.m. and start up PC and log on to B1D DAT website. I started to bid when the bid is about to close at 12 p.m. The strategy for bidding is doing it last minute and of course, others do the same thing (That's for sure!). People outbid me in less than a minute, and I gave up on bidding for Cybershot as it went off my budget of RM 750 (It is sold for RM 984 after that!).

Then, I go after the Nokia 6120 which priced at RM431 when I started to bid. Wow, those people won't give up. Price up to RM500+ to RM 600+, and to RM700+, in less than one hour, the bidding price up for so much. Bidding window for the phone supposed to be closed at 12.15 p.m. but was extended as there were bids going on for it.

It's not easy to beat the other bidders. I set my budget for the phone to be RM750 but I continued to bid on it even though I was overbudget. It must be the competitive side of me that I wanted to win that makes me go on with the bid. That time, the only thing that I thought of is I wanted to get the phone so badly and thus, I increased the budget limit for the phone to RM 780.

When I increase the bid to RM 776.00, no response from the opposition bidder. I thought, "Yes, I'm gonna got the phone!" Times up and yeah, I won the bid at RM 776!! Yay!! RM 776, what a price! It really burns a hole in the pocket. I'm gonna be broke for the rest of the year. Even the whole year expenditure for clothes did not cost that much.

3.5G (HDSPA), 2.0 megapixel camera, voice recorder, music and video player, S60 software, Bluetooth 2.0 - That's more that I want in a phone. Whatever it is, I saw the review for the phone is quite good so I think I won't have regrets in getting the phone. Someone even quoted, "Without a doubt, it had been a joy to use and hold." Can't wait for it to be delivered to my house door, hehe... I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed. The first phone that I'm gonna pay for.

Nokia 6120 classic. It will be MINE soon.
