like starting my life afresh

It's me and the handphone business again - never-ending. This time, there was some problem with it, like only hearing the other party over the line very softly and some minor glitch with the Walkman function. On Monday, I sent it for repair, thinking that I have all my contacts inside my SIM card. When the Sony Ericsson guy warned me that things in the phone memory might be gone, I was fine with that, since I don't have much important information anyway. Or so I thought.

To my horror, when I collected it back on Friday, all of my contacts were gone! So pardon me if you happen to send me a sms, only to receive a reply from me asking who you are. At the split moment of my realization, I was lost. I could only recall a handful of numbers. But like a coin which has two sides, this is a blessing in some ways. Firstly, all the reported problems have been solved and secondly, disappeared into thin air are also contacts of those whom I don't really see a point in keeping.

Somehow, it feels like starting my life afresh.
