the importance of being mobile

On Friday evening Dad called me. Twice. I was napping and missed his call, and by the time I got up it was too late to return his call.

The next day at 9 a.m. I called home, but no one picked up. I tried again at 10 a.m. Then 11 a.m. Then 12 p.m. 1 p.m. 2 p.m. 3 p.m. 4 p.m. 5 p.m. 5.30 p.m. 6 p.m.

I kind of freaked out the entire day.

At 8.05 p.m. Dad called me back. Turned out that I had accidentally called home and he was merely returning the call (we have one of those caller ID thing). He was out the whole day, nothing happened to him, all body parts intact.

Everyone should just get a bloody mobile phone.

    Hahaha. A-hem. Sorry, but I can relate. Asked mom to get a HP for the longest time before she finally did. “You don’t have to learn how to use it, ma, we just want to be able to contact you when you or us roam about.”

    Suanie:
    Heh… my mom utilises her mobile phone, uses the Internet and has a blog. My dad has had the same morning exercise routine for 30+ years. Go figure.

    I have a mobile phone … it has battery problems, and as such I haven’t bothered to renew my subscription till I buy a new phone … but I do have a one.

    I’m hoping to get one from Nanyang, I heard they come with their own movies. :-)

    My mum always leaves her mobile at home when she is out. So, whenever I see I will remind her if mobile phone is meant to be put in the house, I’ll bring the house phone out next time. :D

    Suanie:
    suddenly I’m reminded of those old school heavy black telephone where you really DIAL a number….

    fireangel: If you concur, go buy a new phone like right now.

    CV - Yeah, I bought my mother hers as well. It’s completely different to mine, and she always asks me how to friggin’ operate it. I keep explaining, ‘I have no idea’.

    Suanie - I wonder if it is possible to put a fake comment in here and pretend it was Suanie commenting.

    TEST:
    Dabido is teh best
    :END TEST

    hee hee … people could have so much fun with that.
    *runs* :-)

    Suanie:
    u kinda forget that I own the blog, hence has access to its editing/deleting functions…:P

    Suanie….

    (Nothing to say, yet wanted to make my presence known!)

     
  12. Dabido(Teflon), 27. February 2006, 22:01

    Suanie - Maybe. :-) but, I think I forgot that you actually read my comments … where as on some other sites I can get away with something like that! :-)

    Besides it’s not like I actually said anything like:
    Suanie:
    Oh Dabido, you are so hot, I want to hump you now

    Or something like that … which would get me in plenty of hot water … um …er …

    *RUNS!* :-)
    I am teh silly! :-)

    Paul - Great! I love it. :-)

    Hi! I just came across your blog and wanted to drop you a note telling you how impressed I was with the extraordinary bullshit you have the nerve to post here. Please accept my compliments and best wishes for your depraved version of joy and your freaky sexual experiments.
    If you have a moment, which you do since you don’t do shit, please take a look at my equally disgusting site http://dearlaima.blogspot.com/.
    It features weird incoherent ramblings masquerading as solid professional advice. Best regards!
    And yeah, this is spam!

    Suanie:
    OMG SPAMMER ALERTTTTTTTTTTTTT :P
