Please memorize your parents' number

As always, vain pic first. 
I look young. =D
Oh wait...


I struggled with the post title. 
I didn't know if I should use 
"your phone is not a necessity",
"learn to live without your phone",
"lost of phone is lame excuse for not calling parents",
or "get a life (without your phone)".


I want to write this post,
because of another blog post my friend wrote.


First of all,
it's be very much related to orientation week in 4th college, UM. 
Coz I have to use that to bring out my point. 


If you're not interested,
you know where to click. 


My friend quoted a few letters sent to the newspaper and which were published. 
The main concerns of parents nowadays are 
"why don't my kids call me/ why can't I call my kids during orientation week".


The main problem
is that people nowadays can't live without their mobiles. 


I remembered my orientation week,
and I survived WITHOUT my phone. 
because I don't have friends.
WTF is the problem?!


The last time I checked,
your mobile phone hasn't been add to "necessities".
You won't die without it. 


We have public phones around the college,
your kids can call you when they have the chance.
The facilitators are always willing to lend their phones if the queue is too long. 
Phones being confiscated is NOT a good reason for not calling home. 


If you really need the love and support from your family,
by all means,
CALL.


I can't stand it when parents are overprotective. 
FFS,
your kids are old enough to take care of themselves,
if they can't,
they ought to learn. 
The youngest I assume should be 19 to enter uni.
If one can't handle leaving home at this age,
one should stay at home and be mommy's baby FOR ETERNITY.


GET A LIFE without your phone PEOPLE!!!


If you're wondering why they don't have their phones,
well,
we kept them for safety's sake. 
Who knows who might creep into their rooms and steal their everything. 
Their phones would be lost FOREVER!!!
Isn't that worse?


Ya right.


The main reason we kept their phones is that we're sure that they won't be listening to whatever we're trying to tell them.
Am I right or am I right?


Anyway,
I think the main reason the so-called kids
didn't call home because they don't/can't remember their parents' number. 
Nuff said.


So,
if you're one of those people who can't live without your phone,
at least do as the title says.


that's what J_Fish wants to say~ Au Revoir~
p.s. Y U NO answer my question for the previous post??
