Tamagotchi Friends

Everyone knows Tamagotchi.. These little pet devices in the 90s that everyone back then used to own at least once or secretly brought it to school and bragged within classmates. Well, I had always wished to own a dog since really young (now having two dogs and one cat, another story) and every birthday my dad would buy me a stuffed dog. One day my parents bought me Tamagotchi to test/ teach me about responsibility about loving, feeding and looking after (cleaning poop) of others before getting me a pet. And I got my first pet hamster afterwards.

2016, how and why I got my hands on one after so many years? Few days back this app famously in Singapore for quick and easy buying, selling and trading items called Carousell prompted a new group named "Tamagotchi Collectors". I went to have a look and people are selling latest brand new sets and even preloved nostalgia 90s models. But during then it did not occur to me to get one but the pink models sure are attractive. Today we went Great World City for dinner and chance upon one. Standing there contemplating, Hubs declares to buy and play. All hesitation creased to exist.

Types of designs available

Choosing one out of three eggs like pokemon and within seconds it hatches and life of motherhood begins..

Tamagotchi Friends Review & Tips:

Bump- Give and Receive items, Visiting friends (Maximum 5 times a day)

Memory- Friends you bump with and Ones you'd nurture before.
Medicine- Sick
Attention- Lights up when need help, your Tamagotchi will pack up and leave if you don't take good care of it. (hence need to restart a new egg)

Overall, I love the new designs available especially this pink one with heart leopard prints. Newer models seems more bulky like holding a real egg compare to old time models which are round but flat. I don't have an issue with that as I like the way the grip holds. Great for pastime as I'm one that doesn't play games on my phone but prefer playing games on devices such as Nintendo 3DS XL. Likewise reading ebook online vs the authentic feel of holding, flipping of pages and the smell of woody book. Back then little things like this made us so happy.

Do comment below if you've one and are you enjoying as much.

Currently I'm not sure why mine sleeps a lot..
