expensively cheap toys

Halfway through 2010, I said to myself that I will no longer buy anything expensive for the rest of the year after purchasing an expensive watch. Of course, that didn’t happen. I bought a 32” LCD TV and a PS3 before the year ended.

I started 2011 with yet another purchase. I replaced my old phone, the ever reliable Nokia E63, with the cheaper Nokia C3. I downgraded because I really needed C3’s Nokia Messaging services. Surprisingly, among all the phone models that supports this service, only the C3 is capable of displaying alerts for new IM messages (I think). When I tried it on my E63, you only get notified with a high-pitched tone that you can easily miss.

Anyway, I will try my best to control my spending impulses this year.

When we lit up the prosperity candles that were given to us last new year’s eve, the candle that represented financial wealth burned the least. Oh, well…
