Proud to be one. Or maybe not?

There is this article in the Straits Times recently about Singaporeans getting too attached to their mobiles, and coming up with excuses through their mobiles.

Well just some extract from the article;

"Market research firm Synovate's survey said three-quarters of the more than 8,000 respondents polled online in 11 places said they take their cellphones with them everywhere. And leading the pack are Russians and Singaporeans.

More than a third of the respondents went as far as to say that they cannot live without their mobile phones, topped by Taiwanese followed by Singaporeans, while one in four finds it harder to replace cellphones than wallets or purses."

True to say, but I am not really dependent on my current NS phone other than calls and smses..

Then again;

"The survey also found that 31 per cent of respondents have lied about their whereabouts via text messaging.

Apart from the obvious calling and texting, the top three features people use regularly on their mobile phones are the alarm clock, camera and games."

Very true and real to me, and I dare to say that I am one of the 31% of respondents. I know that I am exposing myself and that in future when I am meeting people who read this entry, they will interrogate me thoroughly and have a benefit of doubt when I am late.

But this article is interesting and very honest that technology is really integrating to be an indispensable part of our lives, like it or not. Now ask yourself, how truth does this article seems to you?

=D

The undying flame.

Sorry for not updating that much during these few days. Was kept busy by an intriguing romance book. I will introduce that some other days once I complete the book.

And In-Camp Training is so... stupid that it is a waste of time to even bother about really supporting the reservist unit. But it was quite fun to spend the night together with my colleagues, talking cock about the most random stuffs over our dinner during my stay-in night. All the comical, lame and spastic jokes that we shared. Epic.

Just a food for thought; why is it always a proven fact that absence make the heart grow fonder? Take the King of Pop, Michael Jackson for example. (yes I know its rather outdated to talk about this person) Before he passed away, people kept making impartial judgements to him, claiming that he's a freak that has a crooked nose and whatever things that could come to mind about his behaviour and image. Now that he passed away, people are crying till their eyes got sore, over this legendary figure in the industry and the revolution he made to pop music. Plus the records sales of his compilation albums, old albums, merchandise etc has soar to such great heights. Funny but truth, that it's such a weird and complicated world isn't it?
