Is Your Cell/Mobile/Hand Phone Your Life?


Don't lie! You never leave home without it, I know.
You can call it what you like -- cell phone, mobile phone or just plain hand phone -- but you guard it with your life, don't you?
Because without it, you might as well have lost your head.
Do you remember the early days of the mobile phone? It was a real novelty and anyone having one was, well, important or rich.
It was the humongous motorola phone. Ugly then but was quite a gadget to have.
And then the Japanese made those real handy ones for the rest of the world, and you and I could have one.
You know, of course, the mobile phone, in the early days when everyone could own one, had caused many a relationship, nay, marriage, to go bust.
Indeed. Indeed. Indeed. I am pretty sure that nothing has changed since.
We can laugh about it because it has not happened to us.
The finger on the wrong button, or the inept use of the mobile phone could trigger some of the most dramatic scenes imaginable. And ugly break-ups or divorces, for sure.
Of course, we all agree that the mobile phone was (and still is, I reckon) a great ally to have for that extra marital affair.
You know, you don't have to go looking for a public phone. Speaking of which - when was the last time you used a public phone?
The technology SMSes offer is phenomenal.
Aah -- the possibilites are endless.
Did you know that some people (you know I mean men), have more than one mobile phone because using just one is really inviting problems, and can cause hell at home. You don't want to trip, fall and get caught red-handed, if you know what I mean.
One for the office, one for the home (wifey and kiddies) and one for the lust-of-your-life, otherwise known as mistress.
You can bet that these guys with multiple mobile phones had been caught schmoozing on that little gadget by the missuses.
Okay, so why am I going on about this?
Well, I am reminded about the lunch I had with one of my girlfriends the other day.
She almost left her husband years ago when she "caught" him with a woman.
She was listening to some very intimate exchanges between him and a woman over her mobile phone.
Silly man! He had accidentally hit her number while doing goodness-knows-what, she answered the call, only to be listening to some very very hot action.
Why she did not leave him high and dry, beats me.
Must be love and that brain of hers not working.

So. Can you imagine life without your life-line? No?
Yeah....that's what I thought.
If it's any comfort, neither can I.

Dear Witchy Sister,

Ah the mobile phone stories and possibilities....

I have to say that with the technology, certain discomfort entails. Like for example, work can find you wherever you go! Isk isk isk...

Of course, affairs conducted via mobile phone. Heard too many stories about it! Take care sister

I don't leave home without it but I don't get calls either. Sometimes I wonder why I carry it. Oh wait .. for emergencies.
However, when I am in Malaysia my phone gets busy. :)
It is my life line regardless of my locations.

I know of a lady who found evidence of her hubby's 'extra curricular activities'. She questioned him. He got caught.
Did she walk out? Hardly. She took time out, punished him a little with that short separation but took him back. I think it was love for the children and him that made her go back. She wanted to keep the family intact.

yeah, nowadays when i forget my mobile phone, i feel so lost and nude without it.

at least you girls have a handbag to carry everything in. spare a thought for the guys. we seriously need someone to design a manly man-bag or a cool utility belt like Batman to carry our keys, mobile, wallet, coins, chewing gum, hanky etc.

those clip-on-belt cases for mobile phones just don't look right when one has a suit on. too bulky at the waist when the jacket is buttoned up. I read that the watch/mobile phone is on its way. that's so knight rider.

Jacqui,

i often ask myself how i coped those years before the advent of cellphones?
i can't imagine.
today, (in malaysia, at least), trying observing people in a restaurant, or anywhere... everyone has a cellphone, including kids.

well. i suppose this is the 21st century.

and that woman who caught her husband fooling around. she is not alone. many women feel compelled not to leave their husbands even after they have caught hubby with hispants down.
yeah.. crap happens.

take care, Jacqui

flaminglambo,

you know, i think i see your dilemma.
years ago, it was fashionable for fashionable men to carry a "hand bag" for men.
Oh... i dunno. i mean, those male models looked good with them bags but, a little feminine for macho giys like you.

but i hear you, flaminglambo. I hear you.

take care, man.

when's baby due?

zewt said...

i really cant remember when was the last time i used a public phone. speaking of which, do they still exist?

didnt know mobile phones are so lethal... i hope it wont happen to me.

flaminglambo said...

Me, macho? Teeheehee. You're making me blush! I'm far from macho. I can't even grow a decent moustache.

Babe is due January. Can't wait.

the witch's broo said...

zewt,

i bet most of us would get stuck trying to figure out where to put the 20 sen (no more 10 sen?. or whether it is a phone using a pay card.

the cell phone is our dearest trusted friend.

and for some, their worst enemy.
so, zewt, my friend, don't ever let it be your enemy,
you'd pay dearly. trust me.

the witch's broo said...

flaminglambo,

oooh.. you.
moustache dont make a man macho, my friend.

january, eh?

will put it in my diary.

take care.

keep us posted on baby, ok?
