Birthday

It was my mother's birthday a few days ago. I was thinking of what to give her, as only this year, I have my own salary, and I am in Malaysia, just 1 hour drive from her.

But then I can't decide. Or rather, don't have time to decide. *excuses*

Today my mother called me, asking me to have a look at her friend who was sent to the hospital that I was working. After I called her that her friend is well, and already discharge, suddenly she asked me when I will be free because she wanted to look for a new smartphone.

Now that's a good idea. But then I can't decide what phone to buy. After all it has been so long since I looked around the smartphone market.

My mother gave me a hint about her preference.

"I don't mind any phone, even the cheap one. As long as it can take and send pictures. The phone that you gave me earlier, I can accept that too".

I gave her my Iphone 3G, my first Iphone that I bought in 2008. The price at that time was RM2000 ++. I gave it to her after I have been using it for 2 years.

Does that mean she is giving hints that she wants an Iphone?? haha.

So for now, without thinking further, I think there are two choices. Iphone, or Samsung galaxy.

Of course, she had experience with Iphone, and she also had Ipad in the house. So I think there wouldn't any difficulty for her to use Iphone then. For Samsung Galaxy, well me myself is not sure where to get the apps and how to go through the applications.

Now, another problem is of course, the cost and the safety. Right I felt a bit tight to buy her an Iphone, and even if I bought it, I wonder if she can keep the phone safe.

However after a while, I did make a promise to myself a long time ago that when I grow up, I want to make my mother happy, and try to repay her for all the things that she did to me.

Sometimes I thought that if our parent willing to risk to buy expensive things to us, even though the known outcome is that thing will surely going to be missing/ destroyed. For the sake of our happiness, they don't care.

And I thought now why not if I treat them like how they treated me when I was a child? I mean I still remember there are things when I thought they wouldn't buy me (because it was expensive) but they still bought me. *Still remember though when all I wanted was PS1 but they bought me the made-in-China gamestation. -.-

So that's it. On Thursday after work, I am so going to buy the Iphone. And of course I am sure later on I will have to buy another one for my father too. haha
