When I was a student I like to go shopping for clothes and shoes cause that time i was a little girl so i wanted to dress myself but after I start to work, for now i rent a apartment, I like to go shopping for home decoration / decor and some small electronic for my life, maybe it’s a fan or a cooking electronic, something like that. You know that japan brand muji, i like looking for this brand. Actually for me this brand is a little expensive but the quality is good I think. The first priority is the usage and the look. The second I will think about the price. A new launched mobile phone. On tuesday or wednesday samsung launched a new phone which is a galaxy fold 3, I want use the foldable phone because that is a small phone if you fold it it’s just a small square shape. I just bought it online but I have no receive it. I will pay the 2nd payment on September 10th and I will receive it in 5 days. The weakness of this equipment i think for me is the small battery because the battery is just 3000 mah.
