Cell Phone Broke

A blessing, in disguise, because now, you will get to, become, more in-tune, with your own physical surrounding environment, and interact face-to-face with those whom you cared about more, without the distraction of that high-tech device you are, “attached” to, translated…

Ming’s cell phone broke, no more games, reading the comics, watching the soaps, chat, surf online, he’d thought of how he got, cut off from the daily rewards of his gaming account now, not knowing how he would, fill up his time.

On this very day, it seemed, he’d, lost, everything, lost his connection with the world, felt lonely, anxious, and cold, “ahhhhhhh, is this, what loneliness, feels, like?”

Feeling loss, he’d watched the girls joyously, marched into the trains, seemed that they were just out, celebrating a birthday or something, this reminded him of something, he’d walked into the doughnut shop in the MRT stations…………out of his expectation, he saw his younger sister working!

“So, you work here?”

“Told you last week when we ate.”

“Oh…………I didn’t hear it then!”

“You’re, too tuned into the high-tech devices then!”

“oh………when did this doughnut shop open in the MRT?”

“It’d been around very long, I’m sure, you were, too into your cell phone, that you’d, failed to notice from before?”

“hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm………”

“you want to get something?”

“What sorts of sweets do you like?”

“What?”

“it’s your birthday today!”

She’d become stumped for a few seconds, stared at her older brother, who’s, finally, returned, BACK to the real world, and she’d, started slowly, “it’s next week…”

Although it was a week earlier, Ming still bought the sweets, waited for his younger sister to get off work to celebrate the occasion together.

Younger sister, happy birthday!

And so, this, is how high-tech devices can cause us to totally, get disconnected with our immediate surrounding environment, because we’d spent all our attention on what’s going on on FB, on Instagram, etc., etc., etc., we’d, neglected to pay attention to those who ARE, physically around us, our families, our friends whom we see regularly, and this guy’s cell phone breaking, it’d, allowed him the opportunities, to experience living.
