NEW PHONE!!

My bloody NOKIA has been buggin me the past couple of weeks. it just decides to restart itself whenever i'm on the phone. it got sooo annoying that i just had to get a new phone.. YAY! a reason to buy a new one! =D

Went looking around different sites and looking at reviews at the latest phones out for the past year or so. At first i had my eyes set on the blackberry! just cause it had a huge QWERTY keyboard. but then the whole bunch of malaysians that came in this year all have the same phone. so that totally put me off!

At least i know what i really want, a phone with a keyboard. hmmm.... then heard a couple of good things about HTC. never heard of the brand before! which caught my attention since there wouldn't be that many people having the same phone as me!

and so long story short, i got a brand new HTC S730 for 200 pounds
(guess i'll just have to work this off for more $$$)

still in the box

wow... what a pretty lil box!

hmm.... does look kinda fat

when i first took it out of the box, i remembered what the reviews meant by it being kinda FAT, but at least it's not flat and thin like the blackberry

WOHOO!! windows!!

SAY NO TO APPLE!!! =P

wooo!! love the slide out keyboard!



i've had this phone for about 2 weeks now, and i'm loving it! other than it being slightly fat, i think it's a perfect phone! =D

Aberdeen

I spent the night at my aunt's place, and this morning it hit me (again) why i love this place.

This morning i woke up to the sun shining in right through the window and to the noise of my aunt and uncle gardening outside. I slowly got out of bed, got a quick shower and made my way downstairs.

Some freshly baked scones were waiting for me on the table! my aunt's home made scones never go wrong. had a cup of tea, facing the window. The scenery was just great! Their huge garden, clear blue sky, birds flying around and the tea just all went together soo well.

On the way back to my flat, i remembered the first time i came to visit my aunt in Aberdeen. They picked me up at the airport and me feeling slightly jetlagged just planted my face to the window of the car trying to stay awake until we reached their cottage, they pulled over about 10 minutes away from the airport. they showed me a view of the countryside that just left me speechless. It was so green! it was peaceful and they showed me their cottage on a hill from the view we had.

Just as we got out of the long bumpy road going out of my aunt's cottage, i had the same feeling as when i first came here. I was just amazed at how beautiful the countryside is in Aberdeen(shire). As we drove into town, although it was quiet, i remembered the one thing i hated about this place, NEDs (non-educated delinquents). but i guess they dont exist out in the countryside, and even in town, it isn't too bad if u just ignore them.

I really am pleased with myself for choosing to study in Aberdeen. i really hope i'll be able to work here in the future. It really is a quiet and relaxing town to be in. =)
