Smartphones, an unsystematic Digital Lifestyle

every now and then I'd like to express my thoughts on other things than college or love life, so here's another thing I thought of and I'm sure, you guys would be noticing too, here's a picture I took off fox news.
smartphones getting too big they don't fit in your pocket anymore

I've seen one of many memes a friend posted on Facebook he found on one of the meme fan pages in Facebook a few weeks past ( i think it was from 'kaki video' or something), and that one post really got me, got me thinking as well, i chuckled a bit when i saw it, it was a picture of an Indian guy (looks like Indian to me) holding three different sizes of smartphones. here let me show you the picture:

the last bit made me laughed my ass off
now, i believe we dont really have to use giant tablets to answer our calls, i mean come on! i was amongst those dudes who used nokia 3310 back in the early 2000's and we went through the age where phones gotten smaller over time, (and now bigger). i believe we should properly manage our digital lifestyle, i think for me, it would be great if i could just carry a phone that is just for calls and (in case of emergency.. sms-texting) and then probably having a tablet for all those internet uses like browsing, photo sharing, socializing, etc, without having to use it as a phone device. 

currently left in the display in my kitchen for backup phone

I imagine myself carrying a small basic Nokia phone around, with a monthly commitment of RM30 (like the contract I had on with maxis back then before i changed to U-mobile because maxis had been secretly charging me nonsense  hidden charges) and then probably having around RM70 monthly commitent for data plan for the tablet just to use the internet. ( not sure if there is even such a price offered from our service providers out there tho) i did checked recently with celcom and maxis the data plan they had for the new blackberry Q10 it's about RM88 per month or so for 1GB and forgot how much the other one offered.

So that'll be like RM100 a month, since we hardly SMS'ing or MMS'ing much these days, RM30 should do just fine for me as a student, and just download social tools in the tablet for what's app or video calling or calling over WiFi apps they have these days, (plus i heard BBM is going on all platforms on August this year, you can get that too) 

I don't really need the 1GB since I have WiFi most of the places i spent my time at, and you had to use WiFi to download apps right? so you don't really use too much data on the go, unless you watched streaming videos (which hardly most people do on the go, unless they're show offs or just plain stupid using up their data plan like that)

anyway, Afiq is calling me up, buying Nasi Lemak Jati for us, being all nice all the sudden which is weird (probably just wanna hang out or something coz we hardly hang out these days ever since he started working in Proton), anyways i'll post something up whenever next time, it's MSU's semester break this for 2 weeks, been planning for a camping trip in Berkelah or Kenyir (we haven't decided yet) let's look forward towards that and hopefully if we managed to get the trip going, i'll post some pictures up!

Movies: haven't been to cinemas for months

Vehice 19 versi Melayu
So i haven't been to cinemas for months, betul ni! last movie i watched was 'prometheus' back in october 2012 before the latest ni 'hummingbird' a few days ago. so nampak x gap di situ berapa lama? lama en..? terasa kuno... jap wait.. oh yeah i did watched 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' dengan fellow classmates and Einaz, but that was really impromtu, cam x plan tetiba pegi je, betul2 buat plan nak pegi was 'prometheus' la dengan Mayor ( real name afiq but i call him mayor sbb back then masa dia student dekat MSU he used to hang out under the bridge depan MSU checking-in dekat foursquare sampai jadi mayor kat situ :p) 

okay i was saying pasal movie en tadi? haa, cerita pasal nak plan tgk movie ni.. honestly kalau nak tgk movie, i'd rather watch it with someone special, too bad.. niat tu x penah pula berjaya di realisasi kan :( so until one day ada someone special, i'd keep all my movie plans on hold! haha, plus there will still be impromptus every now and then kan? so cam x apa sangat lah~ nak tanya korang ni~ bg korang does "movie-date" membawa apa-apa special meaning?

i mean, when u called her up, or he calls u up, and then korang plan movie, after that makan, maybe a little shopping or window shop or i dunno maybe hitting games or kalau orang- orang subang main ice skating or disco skating or heck maybe ada yang go for karaoke ke tetiba?

tell u what? how about this? what's the best arrangement that u planned for a date? sorry eh kalau ada yang kata "han ni asal blog je cite lovey dovey, tak ada benda lain ke?" hahaha well screw yew! it's my blog! :p

okay not that i've ever been in one or planned one, but for me, if i ever will plan for one dalam near future, i'd put the movie plan tu cam last sekali! so that kalau da penat da seharian tu, in the end ada nice cozy seat with cold aircond u can enjoy (since sekarang ni shah alam da panas gila da, that sounds like a real treaty!) anyway, exam's coming, this sem without Rezo, classes are like paradise, less stress, and tak ada lecturer emo-emo and better yet, there's one beautiful angel amongst fellow classmate whom always made my day! i'm thinking.. 'eiffel, i'm in love'~ (^_^)
