To the Dark Side.. with iPhone

We are an android family. I don't know about Daddy Lim but I gave up on iPhone in the early onset when I wasn't able to properly download my pictures and then the battery failed and the battery was not replacable.

Since than, I had been an android user. Daddy Lim is on android too for as long as I can remember. We are happy android family and there are so many android phone choices. Hoho.

I had in recent years thought if I should switch back to iPhone bcos Nana had been wanting an iPhone, but the price of the iPhone scares me. Why does it cost so much? Zzzzzz.. 

In November 2021, I managed to convince her to stay on android and we both bought the Samsung S20 FE. The phone is good, I am still using it and liking it. I didn't hear complaints from Nana as well and assumed that all are well. 

My kids are very trusting of the world. They think that nobody steals and they leave their belongings (phone, wallet, valuables) out in the open. If somebody wants to steal, the rink is a good place, every other person (definitely include Nana) is leaving their phone on the seat/ bag/ rink barricade ledge). On top of that, my kids also think that if they forgot/ misplaced their belongings, other people will either leave their belongings as it is or pass them to the lost and found corner. 

My kids have misplaced their phones multiple times. Why? Bcos they have this bad habit of holding their phone in their hand in whatever that they are doing. So they either do what they need with one hand or resort to putting their phone somewhere when they finally admit that they needed both hands. Zaky has it easier bcos his shorts usually comes with pockets. Nana just ended up putting her phone somewhere ... and then forgot about it. Zzzzzzz. 

She did that a couple of times and tge last in Melbourne and luckily got it back. She finally ran out of luck back in Singapore, when she left her phone in the toilet cubicle in the Selegie Mall. Of course she was upset but I was even more. 

It had been several weeks since she had been using one of the old phones. She didn't dare complain and had asked for a new phone for her bday. She had wanted an iPhone but didn't dare ask for one. She said that 80% of the kids in her school use iPhone and the remaining 20% are deemed as outcast. Ok lah, remain as outcast lah. 

Daddy Lim said that I must be a villain Queen in my past life and killed all of them. I am here to repay my debts this life. Hoho. Of course I gave in. Her screen has discolored and I think she has learnt her lesson.

Oh no.. Nana has gone over to the dark side. 

She is of course super happy. 

Daddy Lim and I are considering if we should disown her. Lol. Yday morning, she was trying to set up the iphone. We eyed her and her phone with contempt. She was still very happy though and ignored us totally.

This morning, I made myself her wallpaper on her iphone. Hoho. My daughter loves me. 

Maybe not... I didn't last very long as her wallpaper and was switched away. Zzzz. 

iPhone really so good meh?
