Nokia 6500 Slide Phone Memories
These two joyful years (and 12 days) together have really swept past swiftly like a strong breeze. I remember it like it was last week, the day I got you, the day my mum and I stepped into the shop and my mum scribbled her signature onto the contract.

Instinctively, I knew that after finally being exposed to sunlight and fresh air and escaping from the box, you and your minions...
