Illiterate Mum?

As I have posted earlier in my blog, I bought this nokia 5800 xpress music with wifi...
Why did I buy it? For youngsters, it might be for the music.... for me, it is just the WIFI thingy...

Conclusion: for me to use, it is really wasted..... WHY?

Read this....

Just now my son called me, "mum, switch on your 3G so that we can see each other."
alamak.... huh? where to press? where is the 3G button? how... where....

He said go to settings, connections.. look for ... bla bla bla..... I tried doing as per instructions on the handphone but sigh.... I gave up... "forget it, cannot la.."

Just now I read over the manual book... lousy one... they never write anything on how to activate the 3G.... either I no understand or they never teach.... chey....

What I know are these features... ... receiving calls, calling out, sms-ing, listen to music and changing them to ringtones, get connected to the website....and...and...i think that is about all....

WELL, how about that??? Isn't that a waste buying a Nokia 5800 and not utilizing their features? :(

I guess it is a better option to go back to the phone shop and allow myself be "taught".. hahahaha..

    happy mother's day dear. hehe..i also did that. bought a handphone with multiple features but end up doing just the basic things like calling, receiving, sms-ing and photographing. The rest...hmmm...no time to learn. And after few years, this so-called sophisticated hp shows signs of breaking down. But, it always nice to have an 'eye-catching' hp. Lol....

    I change my mobile phone every year. This is part of the contract I'm entitled to with the network. No matter how fanciful phone they offered me, I'm still unable to keep up. What a waste..hee..hee. I hardly sms at all. I rather call and get over with it.

    Nasib baik but what to do. Don't know the latest tech, but maybe I'm lazy to learn..teeheehee...

    Anyway, I've tried leaving a comment in your Desire blog. I just want to let you know that, I'm thankful for the direction after reading it. I've read Nehemiah and my heart felt lighter. I hope yours too. Thank you. :-)

    yeah happy mothers day.
    well, i think u just need to learn about the features.

    to be honest, i myself still having problem with my 3g, i never managed to make a 3g call with my phone and it was my aunt who persuade me to 3g with her. LOL

    anyway, i dropped by because i need to ask aunty certain things about guardian angel, i make some research in internet but it wasnt wat i was looking for. as i found out, it might be christianity stuff so i thought of asking aunty about it.

    Even young man (like me? Haha.) don't read manuals. LOL. Happy mother's day to you and all mothers/future mothers.

    Should have someone to teach you on the spot rather than reading another manual here. :D Cheers!

    Hey is ur 3G service activated or not? Have to ask the service provider to activate it for u if not mistaken. I do have a 3G phone. But since I have changed sim card and it took me ages to get it activated on the new sim card. I gave up. Good to use it to talk to someone else who have 3G phone, like u can see ur son face to face, while talking on the phone. It's pretty simple. Just choose the option to make video call. But I'm having a SE phone, not Nokia. Not sure how is the Nokia one. :)

    p/s: I think now u can get a 3G phone for less than 1k? Depends on the brand and model. Mine was about 2 yrs ago, even back then it costs me less than 1k.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

The Good, The Bad But Not Ugly

MISSING AND NOW BACK IN ACTION...  I checked back my last post and it was 8 March last month and today is 19 April, less than two months only.  So what has been happening in my life?  Lots and lots... good news, bad news, sad news... all concerning health and I guess this is our life cycle as we live day by day.   My health is also not that "fantastic" during the past few months, but mine is a small rock compared to giant boulder which my best buddy is undergoing... I guess some of you know what is happening to her from her blog posts.  I was totally devastated when this happened to her, my tears couldn't help falling and my heart goes out to her.  I am ashamed to say that instead of me giving the comfort that she needs, I am the one that have been receiving her strength in times like this.  She might be crushed physically but she is not broken in her spiritual mind and soul.  One word... "Unbreakable!"  She is a shining example..... "What can death do to m

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!
