"pregnant" battery
i have been using my current phone for about 2 years. recently i discovered that the battery could not last me for 2 days. even if it was fully charged, and if i happened to make a few calls, the battery would be dead in no time. i was frustrated. didnt know what went wrong.

and one fine day, while having lunch with a friend, i was grumbling about my phone again. opened the casing and showed him the battery. and he diagnosed it. PREGNANT. i was like huh? like how? then i remember when my sisters bought their phones, the salesman did mention about "pregnant battery", ie. overcharged the phone. and i think i did that, many times lately. guilty as charged.

#3 : cant really see the difference, but can feel the "bump" with fingers.
he advised me to get a new battery FAST! the battery can explode ANYTIME. that's enough to scare me. and now, my phone is back in action.
initially i was contemplating, to get a new phone, or to replace with a new battery.
the plan to get a new phone has been put on hold :)
