i..*ouch!

I realised I gotta get this only after I saw the actual thing. It was smaller than it looked when it was in the box. It looked like it fitted the "bitten apple" very well when WH was holding it. Then, I knew that was my 'perfect' one.

Me and Tempest first saw the ipouch at Challenger in Vivocity. It was retailing at $35.90 for members, which Tempest was one. The material was suede-like and soft to the touch. That I liked a lot, but it was somewhat big-ish so it didn't fit exactly what I had in mind. So I hesistated, and he didn't insist it long enough. We walked away. I was confident that we can find the 'perfect' one - same soft material with a cleaning function, pouch-like preferably with no drawstring or flipping cover, sleek, nice color, and reasonably priced.

The next day, after I made my decision, we went to the Challenger at Tampines One. Oh damn, they didn't stock the pouch! We walked around somemore, only to find it selling at $39 at nubox, some Authorised Apple Reseller. Sheesh! How I hated myself! In my pursuit for perfection at a bargain, I lost $3...

It is cool to have an iphone.. I had fun fiddling with the widgets and admiring the responsiveness everytime I swipe to move a page. Tempest had fun downloading games every weekend we meet up. All at an upfront cost of $438 after $100 trade-in, and now with added cost of $21.90 for 2 pieces of anti-glare screen protector (who wants to buy the other?? :p) and a $39 Terahedron-made phone pouch. Total of $498.90, for now.
