「不...會」櫃檯伸長脖子看著手機回覆。
「實名制資料，」我把手機背面的個人聯絡資料給櫃檯看，「還有，我的會員還沒重啟，要買單次入場劵。」
「會員應該都自動重啟了啊？」櫃檯詢問。
「我申請暫停會員，因為不確定能不能用這個通過實名制入場」我把手機搖晃了一下。
「沒關係，我認識你，這次不用買入場劵。」櫃檯按鈕開門讓我入場。
因為前一陣子的疫情，游泳池關閉了一百多天。真高興三個月沒來，游泳池櫃檯還認得我。
照片是名為藍花楹 (Jacaranda) 的樹，前天三個月來頭一次出門，在雪梨大學拍的。
My Reopening After Covid Restrictions
"Good morning, how are you?" I continued, "Hope this is not too tiny. " while showing the vaccination certificate on my iPhone 4S screen to the counter clerk in the swimming pool.
"It... is fine." She replied while tilting forward to the phone
"For contact tracing," I turned the back of my phone to her, "and I am paying for a single entrance because I haven't re-activated my membership yet."
"But the membership should've been re-activated automatically." She questioned while typing the contact details on the back of my phone into system.
"I had it suspended because I wanna make sure I can go in this old fashion." I answered while waving my phone.
"That's okay. I know you. I will let you in today." She opened the door without charging me the entrance fee.
Due to the recent lockdown, the pool was closed for more than 100 days. I was glad that the pool staff still remember me.
The photo was a Jacaranda tree that I took at University of Sydney the other day. It was the first time I went out for the past 3 months.
我記得你了
「早安。」我把手機的背面給游泳池櫃檯看。
「我記得你了。」櫃檯回覆。
「抱歉，聖誕老人沒給我新手機。」我開玩笑的說。
「沒關係，你很有條理。」櫃檯邊看著我的手機背面邊輸入。
因為疫情的關係，州政府規定大部分店家要紀錄顧客的聯絡方式和來店時間。顧客大部分是使用州政府的 app 掃描店家的 QR code 來紀錄。很不幸地，我的經典款 iPhone 4S 不能安裝州政府的 app，游泳池櫃檯必須在他們的系統裡輸入我的聯絡資料和來店時間。我已經厭倦了每天要念出自己的名字和電話號碼，所以在我的手機背面做了以下的替代方案。
Now I remember you
"Good morning." I said when I showed the back of my phone to the counter clerk in the swimming pool.
"Now I remember you." she replied while typing on a tablet.
"Sorry, my santa didn't give me a new phone." I joked.
"That's okay. You are very organized." she continued typing while looking at the back of my phone.
Due to the pandemic, state goverment made contact tracing mandatory for most businesses including swimming pools. Most customers scan the QR code of the business to check themselves in. However, my classic iPhone 4S is not compatible with the government app for scanning the QR code. Instead, the swimming pool clerk has to type in my contact details in their system. I am tired of spelling my name and phone number everyday. So, here is the workaround I have done on the back of my phone.
