Skip That Phone

Skip it!

In our modern society, one is often too dependent on their smart phone for entertainment, communicating and etc... I'm highly dependent on it for Facebook-ing and whatsapp-ing. I'm like a slave to my phone.

You know, sometimes we should just leave that smart phone back at home... and just head out without thinking about it.

When I was a teenager, there was only Nokia black/white phones with customized melodies that sounded like pressing keys on the keypad. There was much freedom back then. I go to the library, to the community centre, to the supermarket without it. All I had was the company of my parents, and myself. There was so much free time on hand.

Now? I find myself checking the phone once every 10min! Check, ok, check!

And I only had my first mobile phone in the first year of my tertiary education. It was getting common so I thought I should get one to mingle with my mates.

Long story short, just now I left my phone at home while out on my part time job. My pouch feels lighter! And I got my job done way faster! In 30min, I went out and am back at home for my shower. Normally I would take about 40min.

I admit I am still dependent on my phone to reach family and friends. But it's good to just 'discard' the phone at home and go out for a walk.

You never know what pleasant surprise you may get!
