A swimming pool saga

Yesterday, i brought the kids to swimming pool, my youngest is so excited when she reached there, she immediately jump into pool with the lifebuoy surrounding her neck instead of properly putting it on round her waist. Imagine this happened to a 2 years old kid. Immediately she submerge into the water. My father and wife straightaway ask me go into the pool to pull her up. Without thinking twice, i ran into the pool and bring her up back to the pool side. She is okay due to the flash rescue.

Then i realize my phone is still inside the pockets of my trousers. I instantly pull the phone out and see the display is showing distorting images. My heart sinks. Based on what i learned from others, i take out the battery and switched off the phone. After went back home, i use the hair dryer to blow it thoroughly. Then i left it overnight, praying everything will be fine again. I spent a whole night without the phone. I start worrying about my phone contact, my tons of application, data, task lists, e-books, photo etc. Like everybody else, today the phone had become so private and become actually part of you.

Next morning, first thing i do is to turn on the phone, and found the display show yellowish display. I'm thinking I will lost it forever. I switch it off again, and turn it back on after i reached office. I am so grateful the phone revive suddenly, may be water inside the phone had evaporated. I quickly backup everything inside the phone lest it may die again.

This small incident testify again how most of us today are so reliant and mentally attached to our phone. I know this is not a good thing, may be one day when i am no longer working, then i will have the luxury to have some "phone-free" day.
