My parents gave me a phone as a christmas present. Exciting you say..NOT, when the phone is a Nokia 6070, the only noteworthy function of the phone is a VGA camera. I didnt want to hurt their feelings so i had to be happy/excited/ecstatic when i received it.
Meanwhile, my sis got a new phone too. Similarly, a $0 value phone which was the Samsung j750 i think, a phone wif a 3G function and and extendable memory card slot.
Im not unhappy that my sis got a "slightly" better phone than me. Hell no. She definitely deserved it coz for me, i lost my phone so I didnt deserve that good a phone..Furthermore, i'll relly miss her when she goes for Australia so now i really want to give her things that she will need. I love my sis although she irritates the hell out of me.Even the ipod that she wanted. i didnt mind forking part of what i earned this december to get her one. but i cant. why?
Because my parents dont believe in spending money on this kind of stuff. For example, i asked them if i could get my own new phone in a few months time when my 17-mth old contract can be renewed. they said NO. this is to me a little warp reasoning......
I can understand why they don't allow me to spend if the money that i was going to use to get the new phone was savings from my pocket money, because ultimately, the money comes from them! But i specifically told them that the money that i am planning to use will be part of my salary. After all, I told them that i will only be spending that certain % of my salary and since I'm not allowed to go out after New Year, why cant i spend it on a new phone? it is not as though i was going to get a $800 phone. i just wanted a good camera phone with an mp3 function so that i do not need to get a cam/mp3 seperately.
im beginning to sound like a spoilt and selfish brat. i do understand that they are being protective and concern. but if i did waste my money, i will learn from my mistake..I just wanna have this slight freedom where i am able to choose what i want to do with what is mine.
