Male Female

When it came to the most expensive item that I had ever bought, I would immediately think of my A-Pod 3, which is a headphone that I bought when I was in my second year at university. That's the first thing that I used my own money to buy, so I really appreciate it. I still vividly remember that when I first received my scholarship at school, which was a prize cash, it was valued at about 10 million VND. I decided to buy something as a gift for all of my efforts. Then my friend and I went to a tech store located in Ho Chi Minh City, and I chose to buy these headphones to support my studying. At first, I felt quite hesitant about it because its value was quite high for me at that time. But after buying it, I felt like my decision was a good one because thanks to those A-Pod headphones, I can learn many things without disturbing others, especially since I usually go to the library or a coffee shop to study. I can use this not only to support my studying through listening, but it also helped me not to disturb others while they are working or studying.
