Since I have nothing to do, I went to my mobile and counted the numbers I have listed in the phone book. It surprised me even, there was a hundred, plus minus. BUT, the only people I contact in them are my family members. Some of the numbers in there are of shops, some are of people that I don't even remember at all. I know it sounds incredible, 100, but when I was in school, there was this 'tradition', usually on the first few days of a new class/school, people would exchange numbers, even if its people we hardly knew so its like in a day, each of us collects like 10,20 numbers of other people's numbers and give them our own. And since I've had the same number for 6 or 7 years now and been to 4 schools, not to mention more classes, that's how I've accumulated so many numbers. Its my wish though to change my number and have all these people stripped off my list and give out my new number only to my family members.

As for me I have things to do.. like going to sleep ... to goto work tomorrow.. but yet I started to count the numbers on my phone. Maybe Its the fear of facing tomorrow.
I was surprised. OK I expected over 50 maybe but under 100, but have close to 200.
I have had this phone number for a long time.. probably 7-8 years and have accumulated numbers from work places I have worked, shops, uni and the few friends I have/had and of course family. I only call my family regularly and maybe few short call to work numbers.
When I first got the mobile, I was embarrassed how small the number of contacts I had... so I decided not to delete any even though I probably never would call or need to call some of them again.
In a way it was good that I kept some of those numbers because, I did call few of the friends from my past... in attempts to get me out of my isolation (Well This has stalled... well thats another story and another thread).
