Remember the era when there's no email, no Instant Messenger (MSN, YM, Google Talk, ICQ, MiRC), no Short Messaging Service (SMS)? How do you communicate with your friends (other than normal land-line phone calls, not mobile phone!)? We communicate via the good ol' way: write a snail mail, place it in an envelope and seal it. Lastly you splatter the back of the stamp with your saliva (ewww...) and you stick it to the top right hand side of the envelope. :)
Ask yourself: when is the last time you got yourselves some hand-written snail mail (not credit card statements duhhh...) from friends? Mine was during the 'pen-pal' period, where I get to know from Galaxie magazine (she's from Malacca) and I wrote looonnggg snail mails to her. I can still remember that I would draw, color and write colorfully to make my letter looked more interesting and would not bore my pen-pal. Haha!!! :D Sigh, sweet memories...
What surprised me was that few months/weeks ago I received postcards from Dragon and Clara where they posted to me from their trips! Very sweet of them indeed, to remember me although they were on holiday... Aww~ :)I would forget everything, even my surname, if I were on holiday!

Two postcards were from Dragon who were in Langkawi.
And one from Clara who went to Chicago and bought lotsa Coach which caused deep jealousy inside of me... =_____= She encouraged me to backpack as well, and if I do, I need to plan right now! Thanks Clara for the postcard and the encouragement to start backpacking! :)
I'll be going to Langkawi again this August, and maybe I would send out some postcards, like what Dragon did?
