Love it or loathe it, phones are assets we can scarcely live without. Phones are sometimes regarded as bothersome in one too many occasion, more than ever when, my head has settled comfortably on the pillow, feet snuggled up between the folds of the blanket, and I’m milliseconds away from a world where ice-creams are free and I rule the world at the tip of my fingers, that device we depend and spend a huge wad of cash on, bleeps shrilly, breaking the peace and solitude, instantaneously chasing sleep away.
However, the assurance that a fantastic day lies ahead could be obtained from a single text or phone call buttered with care, concern or distressed from a friend, family or mere stranger you met only days before. How life works, is truly amazing.
People, this blogpost was inspired by Wei Chian. Many a time, his texts has never failed leave me with at least, a small smile in the mornings, and actually looking forward to start my day, despite knowing what lies ahead: bright fluorescent lights, empty toilet stalls, cold mean showers and the ever ironic Madam Tan.
Here are a handful of the many texts I have received and read first thing in the morning.
Jason who’s name isn’t really Jason.
Zitu, we’re supposed to study lecture 1-3 notes for tomorrow’s accounting test?
Ah Leeeong whom I met at NS and is now taking QS in the same college!
Yo, time passes so fast. We’ve been in college for a month now. Do you really understand HE (ethnic relations)?
HAHA. No, I never did understand HE from the very first day. Which serves as reminder, it’s time to dig out my notes.

Sleepyhead Harry from Sabah

HUJAN kata ‘bila aku sdh tiada…simpan semua laguku, jgn d tangis slalu, kerna e2 hanya smentara’ Mmg betul kta LOTTE ‘yg berlalu tdk akn brulang’ SAMSONS berpesan dgn sya agar bgi tau kmu ssuatu: jdkanlah PLKN KUMPULAN2 SIRI5/2008 d KKDB sbgai ‘kenangan terindah’ dlm hidup kita. Sbb MILA cakap dgn sya “aku lebih tahu’ Lgpun MAMBAI kate ‘kau ilhamku’.
That text triggered a tear gland I never knew existed, having to just wake up and all. Sigh. I miss Sabah, like a lot a lot a lot.

Being asleep and all, I didn't reply. Guessing so, dad swiftly called for a short chat/rant session.
Daniel who’s in Brunei as I am typing this

Wiff stands for wesak international film fest which I really did plan to go…but but. My body’s immune system was so weak even subang’s dry environment couldn’t save my leaking nose.
Livindon the natural artist.
Perhatian kepada semua wira dan wirawati, anda dijemput ke dewan makan untuk makan tengahari. TANPA GAGAL. Saya ulang sekali lagi……
Oh man….I really miss the ridiculous announcements we gang up to ignore. Jurulatihs were left with no choice but to repeat the announcement with a louder decibel and sneaking a threat or two in between. Announcement which we all will be laughing over it and mimicking for days.
Crystal, the best friend, before leaving for Cinaland
