iPhone Addiction

Although I'm in the IT industry, I was never a techy guy. I'm not into gadgets as I'm supposed to be. But the 3GS iPhone from Apple is changing all that. Not because it is very cool and fast, but because of the role it played between my wife and I.

Getting the 3GS iPhone here in SG the first day it is available is so challenging. We have to reserve online to make sure that we get one. But that's the easy part. The harder part is the collection. We went to collect the phone on the first night it was available but to our surprise, a very long queue was waiting for us. We went to the end of the line only to find out that it will take us 6 hours before we can get the phone. We've decided to go home and come back early the next day and we did. The line seemed shorter now but it's still very long. It took us three hours before my wife is actually holding her new phone.

Now, although I'm having less sleep because of the iPhone, downloading and playing free applications, it's okay as long as I'm doing it with my wife.

Stronger Than Yesterday

The last two days have been very stressful for me. I was stressed with work. I had lunch at 1p. My mommy-in-law scolded me. I accidentally cut my finger. My stomach was aching all day. I unintentionally hurt my wife. The next day, my boss scolded me for two hours. And then he gave me more work which means more stress.

And then my wife started doing things that made me feel better. She started forwarding me inspirational emails that really inspired me at that moment. Phrases like, "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Stuff like that. And then she calls my mom. A gesture of showing that she's giving effort to be closer to my family. And finally, we made up. I said my apologies and so did she.

Now I feel a lot better. I feel stronger. More inspired. Our relationship became stronger as well I believe. And I thank God for that. For giving us the opportunity to be stronger. For making our relationship stronger.
