Oldie But Spunky

I have been using this mobile phone since 2020. Thats something to be proud of, no?

I used to be changing phones every 2-3 years while I was in the UK and pre working era. 

In the UK, renewal of mobile phone contracts usually come with free mobile device (fairly, quite the recent models) with no increment of the monthly bill. Some loyal customers who know when to bargain well are even offered free bills for the first 6-10 months for renewal plus a free device too!

While in Malaysia, yes, mobile networks do offer free phone (BUT usually the outdated models!!!) upon renewal, but MOST of the time the billing price would be slightly MORE - they probably are taking into consideration the cost of the 'free phone'.

Truly, being back in Malaysia makes me realise, I actually can live with the same mobile phone as long as 5 years. The battery health may be not so great now. Need to charge it 1-2 times daily, on average. But hey, not so bad eh.

Some people believe, we have to keep up with the latest turnover of technology. Nah. Maybe not for me. Camera, whatsapp, email, basic social media apps (well, just Fb + Instagram is sufficient in my defense) and direct call can function well - I am good to go.

Renyah la nak kena ada semua benda and function. The new generation kena ada apps for filter lah, video recording lah, audio recording jugak, photos and documents editors nya pulak.. Pening kepala makcik, nyah.. 

Indeed I am already old, and going back to the basic feels so nice and classy. I just dream of a slow and peaceful, yet fulfilling life. 

Less apps, less hassles, less drama.
