Why I am Hand phone phobia?

“Ling, you need to own a hand phone. You are an IT guy. It is a MUST for you to have one.” This is the common remark I frequently get when I told them that I do not have hand phone number. As usual, my reply was, “I’m a hand phone phobia. Owning a hand phone will cause Insomnia.” In laymen term, I’m terminally handicap towards Hand phone. If I ignore the handicap, I will end up having sleepless night. Then you would see me with ‘panda eyes’ and grumpy approaches. I hope this definition clears the details!

When did I develop such phobia? It began when I was working in Micasa Hotel & Apartments and Hotel Istana. I started my engagement as IT specialist in hotel industry on 1995. It was Two years of nightmare and torture by the pager and hand phone. Being IT guy, I was on 24-7, 365 days on call support throughout the year. It simply mean, I need to work on Public Holiday, Rest day, Graveyard hour, meal break or visit to toilet and during leave. I’m practically working all the time wherever I am!

My sleeping hours became erratic and my biological clock finally gone berserk. Whether day, night or wee hour, once beeping or ringing of my pager or hand phone blared, without delay I will hastily rush to the scene (i.e., my working place) to rectify any IT related matters. At that time, I was staying in Selayang, Selangor. Hotel Micasa is at Jalan Tun Razak, KL(Near Ampang Park & opposite Tan & Tan Building) whereas Hotel Istana is at Jalan Raja Chulan(near Lot 10. Just Behind Wisma Genesis). Travel by motorbike takes around 40-50 minutes to reach there. Just imagine waking up around 2.30am and rushes back to the office and reach there around 3.20am; then spent 30 minutes to solve the problem. Thereafter, while trying to get back to sleep, it was like I just doze off and the working hour which started at 9am begin. If my response time is not up to the end-user expectation (Usually within 15 minutes), I’ll received verbal warning for not responding fast enough. Then added with highflyer manager who always displayed their egoist character in front of the Top management and put forth the inefficiency of the IT guy who is slow to respond to the distress call that caused certain sales not being attended thus affected the revenue. Such hypocrites I would say. Poor in their sales planning, they find a scapegoat to take the blame! There is one time I told off my immediate superior when he chided me about my response time. “What do you want me to do? I’m at my hometown in Sitiawan(Perak). You approved my leave. You should know that. How on earth do you expect me to rush back to KL to rectify the problem? The end-user is really too much.”

Most of the time, I’m at the ‘walking zombie’ state due to sleep deprivation and I finally develop insomnia during my tenure in the hotel industry which was cause by those communication gadgets. I am easily awaken or frightened whenever I heard a slight beeping or ringing tone. The insomnia eventually molded my mindset into alert mode even while I was sleeping. I became enslaved to the communication gadgets that interfere with my sleep.

The day of great joy came upon me when I left hotel industry in 1997. With a great sigh of relief, “That’s the last I will ever hold these mobile communication gadgets”. Still, it took me several years to regain normalcy in my sleep. From that point, emails and landlines phone has always been my communication means. It is undeniable over the years hand phone at one time confines to elite and businessman have rapidly grow to become one of the household essential. Even an adolescent seems to own one for the sake of personalized communication! However, I stood with my choice to abstain from having a Hand phone.

Therefore, friends, I hope the above clarifies why I do not own any hand phone until this day. It is not that I can’t afford one. I’m content with my mental handicap on hand phone for I chose peaceful night and quiet rest. No doubt you would see me carrying a hand phone set, but in actual the set is with inactive simm card (It act as a bridge to the circuitry structure of the set to activate its functions) because I utilize the handset multimedia functions i.e., camera, video clip, recording and music. It is not meant for communication gadget. The next time when I apologize for not being able to give any hand phone number, I shall not repeat the reason. Just read through this blog. :-).

Cheers!
