5 Things I Can't Live Without

My husband can't live without his phone, my teenager can't live without music and my toddler can't live without strawberries. What? Strawberries? I know, right? Haha! Suffice to say that different people have different needs and priorities. Having said that, let me share you 5 things i can't live without. My list may probably be almost the same as yours if you are a working mom in Singapore like me and of course, the list doesn't include our very basic needs like family, food, water and air (just in case I get a philosophical comment later on, you can live without your family, food, water and air?)

1. ATM card
I don't carry cash most of the time so I really, really need my ATM card with me all the time in case I need to withdraw money.

2. EZ-Link card
I commute to work everyday so this is really something I can't live without. For my readers who don't live in Singapore, EZ Link card is a contactless smart card used for the payment of public transportation fares in Singapore. All I need is to make sure the card has sufficient funds and I am good to go everyday.

3. Keys
I remember changing my bag one day and left my clinic keys on the previous bag that I used. I had to wait for my boss to open the clinic for like 1 hour. What an ordeal! On the other hand, I can actually live without my house keys because our helper is at home when I leave for work and when I come home from work.

4. Working shoes
Let me re-phrase that to "a good, comfortable and fashionable pair of closed shoes". I ran the clinic alone so I am always on the go. I also assist during minor procedures so I really can't live without a closed shoes to protect my feet from any accidental falling instruments. Of course, it has to be fashionable too right?

5. Phone
To be very honest, I can actually live without my phone if i want to BUT like i mentioned earlier i actually work alone. I need my phone to divert clinic calls when I go for lunch, when I go to the bank and when I need a toilet break. I know it sounds insane but that's the only valid reason why i can't live without my phone.

What about you? What are the things you can't live without? Care to share in the comment box below?

  5. Like you, I also can't live without my phone. It's a very valuable gadget. I also can't leave the house without my ATM card, too, and my credit card (for emergency purchases).
