Waah! My dad got a new phone in Hong Kong! I despise the fact that both my parents have trendier mobile phones than me now!
Well not really. I'm not the sort of person who keeps up with the latest model of phone, although after four years, my Nokia 3315 is starting to feel a little dated. (Poor phone.) Hey, but it still works.
I've also had my current glasses frames since Year 12, so I think it might be time to get new ones...not that they're falling apart or anything (although they did fall apart at AnCon, luckily I packed contacts just in case!), I could probably wear them for a bit longer, until the screw at the side starts coming loose every other day or something...
That's the thing with life these days, you're constantly updating things when you don't really need to, there's a lot of stuff that you could keep using for years and years if there wasn't such thing as "going out of fashion".
Although I am glad that some things do go out of fashion. Corsets are one of them. Women should have the right to breathe as much as men.
And there are some things around the house that we still use that have been around for ages. Like my little pillow filled with down feathers, I've had it since I was one. I guess it's well and truly infested with Vivian germs by now. And I think most of the bed linen we use currently emmigrated with us from Hong Kong. And I have my Dad's copies of the Narnia series, printed in 1978 (except for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which got lost, so I have a new copy of that.)
So there you go. Old things, and new things. I think I'll leave it there.

I've just acquired my dad's old mobile phone... which makes me less fashionable than my dad I suppose.
My main copy of the King's James Version of the bible is my mum's first bible she got as a kid. The spine fell off at some stage and was replaced by bright yellow duct tape.
Oooh, and the fold up table in our kitchen is the same table I used to eat on as a kid in Singapore. Yeah. Cool.
I just got a hand-me-down mobile from my mum (dad bought a new one for her instead of for me, considering it was my phone that got stolen). Also the camera I currently use used to be my mum's.
In other news, I got new glasses, well an extra pair.
Our dining table at Maroubra (which was my desk at Lilyfield) was the kitchen table from my Grandparents' house which my Dad hid under when, aged 4-ish, he didn't want to take his "urky-purky" medicine.
Hehe.... tiny parent, how adorable.
Wha... How cute... Tiny parents... :P
Eh... Wow Viv, you've had the same glasses since yr 12? Impressive.
Since year 12 (when I started wearing glasses) I've had... ummm... At least 3 pairs of glasses... My power has increased from .5 to 2.5...
And that's not super powers I'm talking about...
Yeh go new glasses! Hee! :)
For you I reckon, definitely steer clear of the big round/oval frames style. I used to have glasses that shape too and it really didn't suit me! I think your face shape is kinda similarish to mine (I wonder why ;)), so slightly smaller, more angular shaped frames would probably suit you better. For colour.. go either a dark metallic, coloured metallic or thin plastic frames.
That's my 2 pennys. 8-)
I know! Red heart-shaped frames! Lolita style! It's so you.
Yay for things which last forever!
leach: I've had the same frames since year 12, but I've had the lenses changed once since...You know my left eye is now -6.0? =( While my right eye hasn't been worsening much lately and is still -3.25...of course it has to be the worse eye that keeps getting worse...
kaz: hey I have oval frames at moment...so what are you trying to say, HUH?! =P
But yeah, I've picked new frames already, and they're more angular, and half-frames for something different...and they're like a metallic maroon colour...So I'm glad I'm on the right track according to your fashion advice, heehee =P
Although knowing me, I probably won't like them when I get my new glasses...the thing about trying on frames when you're short sighted is that you can't see what you look like properly!
ang: errrrm, how about not...=P
my phone just broke too! and now i'm using my mum's old one. very unfashionable of me, but free!
and ooo, new glasses, how exciting!
Umm... did you think about wearing your contacts while trying on frames? :-)
yes, but since you have to do an eye test before getting new glasses, I thought that might be a bit of a hassle...
What about wearing contacts with frames (but without the lens). Then even if the frames fall apart, you can see!
lol.. AK.. very logical comment :-P
