Saturday morning, DH was off at 5:00am to line up for the Playstation 3. Even getting there that early, he was number 70+ in line. Some of the early birds had been camping there for days, wth!

I was happy to be fast asleep in a cozy bed rather than sitting out in the darkness on the cold, hard floor outside 1 Utama. Seems DH is the only one who’s excited about the Playstation 3. My three teens think “it’s lame and overrated”, in their words.

But the least we could do was to bring the man his long-awaited breakfast from McD. We didn’t hang around there very long. The place was smoky and there was nothing happening. I don’t have much patience for geeky events, I’d rather be shopping .

I can’t believe they make people pay the full price for something that’s two years old. That tiny discount is nothing after you factor in all the proprietary stuff the Playstation 3 needs in order to work.

I expect the man will play with it for two weeks tops, then it’ll end up in the storeroom with all the other white elephants *sigh*.

We’re still waiting for Skye to say, yes, I want my own handphone. But she hasn’t said it yet . She says she doesn’t need one and it’s a hassle to have to take care of it so it doesn’t get lost.

My 3 teens had a shared handphone up until this year when Steev started college and only because he needs to communicate with us about daily transport arrangements.

Before that, we had one handphone for the 3 of them. Whoever was going out somewhere (school activities, friend’s house) would take the phone.

When Steev got his own phone, the girls started sharing the other phone. They still are now. But recently I got my new handphone (see, pretty cool, eh?)…

… so we’ve got a hand-me-down phone for the girls now. My old handphone is also a pocket PC phone so we thought Raine, being older, should get that while Skye takes over the shared handphone.

Skye is 12 and next year, she’ll have more activities and running around to do when she goes to secondary school. I would feel much better if she’s just a call away.

Many of her friends at school have had their own handphones since they were, what, 8 years old?? A handphone at that age is excessive, if you ask me. What do you think? When’s the right time for a kid to get their own handphone?
