ARTICLE TWO: MY HANDPHONES AND MY STORIES WITH THEM

ASSALAMUALAIKUM W.B.T

Bring your mind and memories to the past century. The item based on picture above actually was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. Did you know what it is? By just saying his name I believed majority of people would know it was a telephone!?

Telephone is used for communicate between one person to another at either an eye of sight distance or long distance. Telephones are different with mobile phones. Mobile phones are wireless, portable and lightweight while telephones are vice versa.

Below is an article and facts from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone  about mobile phones.

Motorola L7 mobile phone

A mobile phone (also called mobile, cellular telephone, or cell phone) is an electronic device used to make mobile telephone calls across a wide geographic area. Mobile phones differ from cordless telephones, which only offer telephone service within a limited range of a fixed land line, for example within a home or an office.
A mobile phone can make and receive telephone calls to and from the public telephone network which includes other mobiles and fixed-line phones across the world. It does this by connecting to a cellular network owned by a mobile network operator.
In addition to being a telephone, modern mobile phones also support many additional services, and accessories, such as SMS (or text) messages, e-mail, Internet access, gaming, Bluetooth and infrared short range wireless communication, camera, MMS messaging, MP3 player, radio and GPS. Low-end mobile phones are often referred to as feature phones, whereas high-end mobile phones that offer more advanced computing ability are referred to as smartphones.
The first handheld mobile phone was demonstrated by Dr. Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1973, using a handset weighing 2 kg.^[1] In 1983, the DynaTAC 8000x was the first to be commercially available. In the twenty years from 1990 to 2010, worldwide mobile phone subscriptions grew from 12.4 million to over 4.6 billion, penetrating the developing economies and reaching the bottom of the economic pyramid.^[2][3]

Okay, now stop with the facts.

Everyone must have their own FIRST MOBILE PHONE in this millennium age and already become priority to almost all people and each mobile phone used must have their own story and memories with their owner. I also had my own stories that I want to share with all of you. Let’s starts my stories with my first mobile phone.

Nokia 2300, this is my first mobile phone that my father gave me as a present at early of the year 2006. At that time, I was in age of 15 years old or Form 3 at SMK Bandar Tasik Selatan. I don’t know why he gave me, maybe he knew that I’m ready to socialize with people. Haha. My first phone number is 0169986600, cool isn’t? Hehe. Sadly I didn’t use this number anymore. My first number and my first mobile phone started to change my life. First two phone numbers definitely would be my parent’s phone number. On the next morning after I received my mobile phone from my father, I went to school with fast-beating heart shown that how excited I am to ask my friends’ phone numbers. I can’t list my friends name here because there are so many names. During that time, I had many fine friends. At that time most communication in my first mobile phones, I credited to my best friends, Mohd Aliff Talha and Mohd Shafiq at that time. These guys bring colors in my life in my first mobile phone. Also I credited to Nurul Akmar, my first “Cinta Monyet” and it shall be the last!! Thank you for inspired me for work hard and study smart, you are my benchmark in academic at that time, I should not forget it. It is not that I didn’t appreciate others, it’s just that they were most who socialized with me. Thank you all for those who had communicated with me at that time. SMK Bandar Tasik Selatan friends.

(Due to Nokia 2300 design looks like “girly” design, I changed my phone casing almost looks as shown in image above. I ordered special design because there are some minor error keypad misplace)

During that time, people started to use mobile phones with colored screen. I don’t want to be like a tortoise in the air, very slow when in fast wind of technologies, haha.

Sony Ericsson K618i, my third mobile phone. Mine was black version. I used it at the middle of year 2007, when I was in Form 4. At that time mobile phone industry competition is increasing drastically with high paradigm jump with new extravaganza design such as high megapixels camera, 3G video call etc. I repeated, I don’t like to be a tortoise in the air, and slow when fast wind blow in mobile technology. Haha. Very slow in the fast pace of mobile phone technology. This was the only phone that I bought using my own pocket money that  I received from my uncle for getting 4A’s (=.=) in PMR(RM400) and additional (RM300) from my piggy bank (Not Piggy actually,hmm,Tabung in English apa?haha) neither a gift nor my parent buy for me . I’m very excited that time. Download games, taking pictures with friends, listening to music. Many pictures and memories that I’ve sealed in this phone. At middle of the year 2009 before I entered to UiTM Arau, Perlis, worst part was took its place in my mobile phones history when my mobile phone fell and smashed to the ground from my bed, (My bed was double deck, and I slept upstairs) and after the fifth times fells, my phone broke, and cannot be used. Better technologies means more fragile, I could not agree more. During that time my love story(erk) starts to fall into the darkness, she have another guy? I don’t understand. I’m clueless and speechless. The best part is I founded it by myself (=.=). I’ve became anti-female, hate those who always blame that guys are bad, like to dumping girls but what about nice guys that been dumped by girls itself just like many of my friends? Let’s just be fair okay? Don’t just blame others. I lost trust, breeds hate, like 10,000 fire arrows struck to my heart, dark sword forge by fire itself slashed my heart 100 times. I stopped to read psychological books about woman. Luckily, I’ve got one thing in my heart that clean my wounds, cooled up the dark sword, sealed back my heart, and it is Faith to Islam. I’m just want to be friends and until 25 years old, have my own car, house and jobs then I will marry. That is my mission. EH! Looks like I’m already off topic but it’s okay, this is my blog not yours! =) Conclusion, this mobile phone have my memories of showing me the way of ‘Redha’, realized that don’t focus on the moon (Lover), but remember, the stars around the moon is scattered in the sky and they are also prepared to shine us when in dark and they are actually bigger than the moon (Our Family and Friends). My most nostalgic mobile phone, K618i, as darkness guided me. Haha

As my “Kira” already took its place in my chain memories, my father give me other mobile phone, its name is Excalibur! After used this mobile phone, I started to meet new friends at UiTM Arau, Perlis. I founded Light of Wisdom, Light of Hope. Most of all, this phone already became more iconic with me. When my friends see this phone they will remember me because at UiTM Arau, Perlis they used to saw me snapping pictures of scenery, and they told me that I looked like “POYO!?” (Malay language to synonym it with arrogant person but actually not) It already stated in the manual book on how to use N90 camera that you must twist around your phone (just like image above) or did they jealous with me? AHAHA! Then how am I supposed to take pictures!? I met colorful and wonderful friends while at UiTM Arau, Perlis. Kempas College resident, Nyatoh College resident, Damak College resident, Non-Resident student, ALL UiTM Arau, Perlis friends, and DotA players=)

*Interesting fact! I used to took pictures in the hotel room, randomly and purposely, then after I checked my album, I saw this white shadow ghost was flew to me but I didn’t realized! Yeah! Awesome experience! Next day I deleted the picture and that night I was ill from hot fever.

Nokia 6500 Slide, my fifth mobile phone and currently using it now. I started to use it almost at the end of semester when I was part 3 in Diploma Business Studies at UiTM Arau, Perlis because my Nokia N90 camera suddenly cannot be used. As I was prepared to go to fast track at UiTM Malacca City Campus, I’m asked my mother to give me a new phone (HAHA!). For at least I can took some scenery pictures at UiTM Arau,Perlis as history that will always be permanent in my heart. As I became more matured in this few years (Ecewah!), I realized that now it’s time to repay my parent’s deed but at the same time I don’t have money and I need a new phone to take memorable pictures. So I make a decision to use my mother’s old mobile phone (Nokia 6500 Slide), and she used Blackberry Bold as she is a bank manager now, need to always on9. So far, nothing interesting event when I using this mobile phone. I’m glad that I have mother that will give me what I want, IPad? IPhone 4? Alienware laptop? But I have a father that always motivates me to don’t always waste money, be humble, wait until the price of product to decrease and so on, because he used to live in poor condition and now a proud and successful father. Thank you papa! My highest Love to Mama and my highest Respect to Papa. Love you both! Now, Malacca will be a place where I will create a wonderful life and hope when I using this mobile phone I will snap photos of memorable experience.

From light of happiness i came,

To darkness of shadow i went.

From darkness i'm out from sad and shame,

To future i write my life with my new pen.
