Why can't i just have both???
It's becoz i can only afford either one...if i took blackberry...then i have to hold my plan to go to New Zealand...if i go along with my plan to go to New Zealand...i can say bye bye bye to blackberry...and some of my friends were wondering...how come using blackberry can be equivalent to the amount spent to travel to New Zealand...
Aha...that's where most people have miscalculate the financial implication...taking on blackberry doesn't only means paying for the phone itself...its also paying for the service as well...lets calculate shall we...
The price for the phone (Blackberry Torch) = RM1,588
The monthly commitment (Celcom Exec 50 + Blackberry Pro) = RM148x12months = RM1,776
Grand Total per annum = RM3,364 ~ RM2,614 (after deducting my monthly prepaid reloads)
source from Celcom website...
To be fair...i am currently using prepaid...and i reload RM60 every month...so the grand total deducted by RM720 (RM60x12) is RM2,614...that is an additional payment i have to fork out for next year if i take on Blackberry...
How does this equal to the planned NZ trip...
The return flight ticket via air*asia inclusive tax = RM700 (during promo period it can go as low as RM391 but to be fair i doubled the fare price)...
Accomodations for 5 nites = RM500 (budget lodging can go as low as RM70 per nite)
Meals 3 times a day for 5 nites = RM300
Transport/ entrance fee/ airport transfers = RM500
Small souveniers for myself and those in the list = RM300
Grand Total = RM2,300 (the currency is almost equivalent to Singapore)
source from wikitravel/ air*asia/ travellerspoint/ hostelbookers/ NZ tourism website
Aha...looks like travelling to New Zealand will be slightly cheaper than taking blackberry...
But it has been three years since i last bought handphone...it should came up in the priority list...but then again i had been dreaming of going to New Zealand since i first seen my big sis's photos during her trip there in the late 90s...
A good friend of mine said that i should take the blackberry...and maybe save New Zealand as the honeymoon destination since its quite affordable to go there via Air*asia...as he eloquently stated...
~takkan lari New Zealand dikejar~
Arghhhh...it comes down to this...either taking on a gadget which is an asset that can be seen everyday until it broke/ unusable anymore...OR...use the same amount for a one-off experience to the beautiful country which will last forever in mind...owh denggg...now i am torn between the two...as i stated in one of my entries before...i can afford to travel by sacrificing other needs...once again now i have to make a decision...decision...decision...decision...what its gonna be...
Blackberry OR New Zealand

NZ? tak lari gunung dikejar.

akmal : aku vote for NZ. ANNNDDDD savings for your wedding (i know, tak masuk dalam quotation but as a friendly reminder saje hehehe).

amacam? mmg la teruja nak beli BB but then, fikir masak2 dulu.mcm aku ni, commitments dah banyak. kena tangguh untuk hoyeah2. jgn lupa masukkan aku ye. aku akan curse ko sampai bila2 n taknak pegi kenduri ko kalo ko tanak notify aku pasal cheap tickets. mwahahahaa~
