It often puzzles me much on how is one able to judge something just by looking at it without using / experiencing / encountering it before. I was guilty of this once and I learned a lesson; Never judge anything you don't have experience in.

I used to condemn iPhone thinking it is just another trend setter touch phone. No biggie; I thought. I had even commented it loudly to my friends that I would never lay my hands on an iPhone ever! Because I am not that tech savvy n all those features it possesses wouldn't be useful to me because I hate touch phone!!!

1 month later, I voluntary ate up those words I said. I was introduced to a handful of applications that I had never thought I would be addicted to. Gosh! I got my iPhone 3G at $500 from my Australian colleague who used it less than a month. 12months later, now, I am holding a gadget that never leave my sight for more than 1minute unless I am asleep; iPhone4. It has even become a habit to play a game or surf the FB or Twitter when I shit. Haha! Can't shit without it these days!

I remember a colleague, we called her ah Heng, she said the exact same words I sworn to my friends previously. I asked:" have u ever used an iPhone before? What do u know about it?" her reply was:" no never use before. Don't know anything about it." I then showed her all those useful application that saved me from getting lost and a handful of other interesting Nihongo applications. Thereafter, her response was:" wa Lau, u are tempting me loh ah See!" that evening after work, she got her iPhone 3Gs and is now an enthu iPhone 'recruiter'. Haha! See!!!! Never judge till you understand it like the back of your hand!!! Otherwise, you are just another sour grape-r!

At the end of the day, one's judgement or review on something that one has NEVER used / experienced / encountered before has absolutely NO CREDIBILITY!
