Webbing Up
I’m probably the last of my kind. Living in Singapore where ownership of a cellular phone is commonplace, I spoke vehemently about how instant communication has made us less reliable. I thought I’d find a few others who thought like I did, and we’d all hold a mini-amish protest against the prevalance of the cellphone.
I sold out. With Dad using the home-phone for his business in the daytime, it has become close to impossible for friends to contact me. With a wedding coming up fast and needing some way for potential employers to contact me, I got myself a cellphone.
I had intially wanted the Sony Ericsson T68i with the Bluetooth function. It would have enabled me to sync with my powerbook for some really cool stuff with the Salling Clicker. It was on sale at $98 with the signing of a two-year plan. But Faith told me not to rush the purchase, and there is the unwritten law that technological devices always drop in price. The price shot up $300 and came bundled with a camera attachment I didn’t need. I ended up getting the Nokia 6610, which I think is a pretty cool set, even if there isn’t the Bluetooth functionality I would have enjoyed toying around with.
My number’s 91262795. Drop me a text message, those of you whom I’ve got to meet up with.

Hey... sorry I haven't called yet. Wanted to call you but thought that if I'd called Faith up on her handphone and asked for you, that would be quite rude, no? ;)
Anyway. Just sent you a message. Just wanted to say hi and see how things are. :)
You put your phone number on the Internet??
I've got the same phone... I think it's a pretty funky phone, no? But then again, I don't need the function on the other phone to sync to my computer...
Yeh, you posted your no. on the net? You're brave!
Brave or exceedingly stupid. :) I reckon I'm not stalkable material.
i bet the americans have changed your life drastically that you've forgotten about owning privacy is the "in" thing in singapore... the last time i saw phone numbers was erm... in the washroom at parco bugis junction.
