Death Of A Phone

We are gathered here today to bid farewell our dearly beloved...

My dad is going to Malaysia tomorrow and taking my pink motorola v3x with him. Ahh, me and that phone have had some good times *wipes tear*. My dad caught me giving my phone a little cuddle goodbye, he had the audacity to LAUGH AT ME. Come on! I loved that phone! I feel like I'm betraying an old friend here, guiiilllttttrrriiiip. That phone has been with me through soccer in the park, Reiji's grandpa dance (I was watching some old vids, don't ask), [un]drunken birthday parties and flirty texts/late-night-phone-calls with would-be boyfriends. Wow, now that I think about it, it's a wonder it managed to come away relatively unscathed!

Hopefully he'll sell it and use the money to pay part of a new phone. Granted, I could be trading in my beloved [and reliable] motorola for what could turn out to be a crap-as-all-hell phone. I'm kind of putting faith in a relatively unknown brand called MWg (previously owned by O2 Asia) and getting their 3rd ever phone the Zinc II. I even drewed my dad a diagram of what it should look like and it's specs, but I'm a crappy artist and he might get the wrong one! Or maybe...the phone hasn't been released in Malaysia yet, and my dear moto will be back in my hands within 2 weeks?

Right now I'm using a relic from the 90's, my first ever phone the Nokia 3300. Built like a brick and almost as heavy, it's monochrome display reminds me that I used to have a phone with a colour screen and camera :(
