Samsung A34 5G

I am a procrastinator when it comes to backing up and transferring data across devices. Despite the sunken power button of my Huawei Nova 3i, I was still delaying to start using my new Samsung A34 5G. The last straw was when it was impossible to press the button to lock and unlock the screen. At least I learnt that there are ways to lock and unlock the screen without using the power button. I will be using this method for my new phone so hopefully it will not have this sunken power button issue.

On Friday, I started to download necessary apps in the new phone and backed up my contacts. I transferred all photos yesterday morning and I finally started using the new phone today. The transfer was not as bad or disastrous as I thought. I only lost all the Whatsapp conversations. This noobie ended up transferring the new/blank Whatsapp in the new phone to overwrite the records in the old phone instead of the other way around. Lol.

Otherwise, this has been quite a downer weekend for me. It is unfortunately that new round of war began in Israel yesterday. I will be very disappointed if my plan to go for a Holy Land pilgrimage this November must be cancelled. I have been stressed over this since March for the visa. I even plan the timing of my property purchase around the visa application since I need to maintain a clean record for the bank statement which I will use as one of the required documents. The irony is that last week I still worried about late application since the ticket has not been issued yet and now I worry if the trip can still proceed. The good thing is that full refund will be possible since the ticket has not been issued. Too bad I already bought travel insurance last week so that is $100 wasted if the trip is cancelled. At the end of the day, it is all God's call that I was interested to visit Holy Land to begin with. So if the whole thing is called off, it is His will and plan too.
