Bye LG Ice Cream, Hello Nokia 5530

As I mentioned on my previous post, I lost my lovely pink LG Ice Cream phone a day after my wedding banquet in Medan. Yes, what a great timing!

I remember I was busy going here and there on the morning, from going to Airasia office to change Anilox cleaner to returning the gown to NewYorkArt bridal and fetching parent-in-law for breakfast before heading to Brastagi highland for a day trip.

I had my pink LG ice cream inside my bag all the time. Then out of a sudden I couldn’t find it already. Not in the bag, not in the car, and not at home. To make thing worse, I couldn’t recall when was the last time I saw my phone.

I started to panic when I couldn’t find it at home. I tried to call my own number but it was no longer active. That’s when I knew that it was hopeless and I wouldn’t see my pink LG ice cream anymore. :(

The supposed-to-be-a-joyful-day turn into a gloomy day. I had a hard time to really arrive at the acceptance stage that the phone is no longer mine. I managed to survive from being phone-less for a few days until I flew to Malaysia last Friday and lived with my back-up phone.

I was in a big dilemma, deciding which phone to go for. I mean, I didn’t get that love-at-the-first-sight with other phone like what I had with my pink LG ice cream. I even thought of getting LG ice cream again, but my boy said let gone be by gone. To my surprise, the price has dropped from RM800 (8 months ago) to RM550! *faint down*

After several online research and offline phone hunting, I decided to get Nokia 5530 XpressMusic – a touch screen phone. The price is slightly cheaper than LG ice cream, RM760 only (AP set), and it has a lot more functions than LG ice cream – wifi, gps, you name it. It is sleek and the size is OK for me. I would choose the white color one if not because of the ugly blue line that separates the front and the back of the phone.

Gotta find a way to zhng my Nokia so that it will be more me. :P
