iEye an iPhone

Helllooo guys, so how have you been? March holidays are here, aren't there?

Well, I know I'm a little slow in talking about this, but forgive me because firstly, I'm not exactly tech smart, and secondly, I definitely don't have the money to indulge in techie gadgets. Ok, maybe I would if I stop spending so much on food. Anyway, last week I finally got my hands on this baby...

 

Yezz, I've got my hands on the iPhone after it's been out for like, forever, and almost everyone out there has an iPhone. I swear, when I board the train, I can definitely spot at least one person with an iPhone in the same cabin. Regardless, I got myself a white one because the guy at the shop told me that "white would look nicer when you put a neon coloured casing". I regretted my colour choice, however, once I stepped out of the shop. ):

And then I went into a massive iPhone frenzy for the next few days! Ok I'm actually sort of still in my iPhone frenzy right now, because the sheer number of applications available on the App Store is simply amazing! And I'm not even talking about the paid ones! There're plenty of free ones to go about, and they are really awesome. And I even manage to get myself addicted to TAP TAP REVENGE 3. Hehe.

Hahah, well, actually I'd thought that I would be a massive failure at this game because I have really bad hand-eye coordination but so far it's been good! :D I get to tap my fingers to my favourite tunes and with every stage I pass, i get to download even more free tracks! Not only that, did I mention it's free? :) Haha, okay, games aside, there's another application that's been really useful to me, so I hope it is for you guys too!

And it's *drumrolls* SGBUSES..

The really cool thing about SGBUSES is that it not only tells you the routes of the different buses, it also tells you the arrival times of the buses you want to take. I absolutely LOVVVVVEEE this function because knowing when the next bus is coming really helps me to plan my time properly. Plus, the weather these days has been insanely warm, and waiting at the bus stop for a long time would make me perspire like crazy. so with this app, I make sure I time everything nicely so that my wait will be a short one! Consider this ap when you are in school or in NP. It will help a lot, especially if you're rushing your projects or homework. :)

With all these amazing applications coming up, if only there was an application we could use in NP! Like maybe this application to tell us if Makan Place (our popular air con food court) has available seats so we wouldn't have to wait around during the busy lunch periods for seats, or maybe even to look for other food alternatives! (Sorry, food is really what I can think of!) Or even one that can surf as a GPS to navigate around NP when we get lost! That'll be quite cool, don't you think? Especially for the first years coming in April! Dear Editor, are you reading this? :)

Ok, I'm off to continue tapping you know what. Let me know what you think. Do you own an iPhone yourself? Or are you sticking to the traditional handphone model? Leave a comment below, and that's it! Till next time! <3
