I’m still enjoying my 3 weeks break from work. For a change of pace, I’ve been spending a lot more time in front of TV. It’s pretty safe to say that I am now a couch potato. Given enough time, I might just turn into a potato all together.
Received a letter from one of my dear friend back in Malaysia. It’s always a pleasant surprise to receive letters back from home. This bring back the memories when writing letters was still quite a big part of my life. I used to like writing letters to friends and family, especially the first year I left home and came to NZ. There’re hundreds of letters I received just from the first 2 years. But then someway in between then and now, we slowly stopped writing to each others. I guess we became lazier or grew sick of each others. Ha. There’re lots of times I started writing but got interrupted. Very often I can find my half written letters around, dated back to 2003. I keep them and told myself I will finish writing them and send it out one day, but things got in the way(well, laziness) and they all ended up at the bottom of the drawers.
Nowadays most of us just email each other, but it somehow lacks the personal feelings that comes with letters. I have just been so darn lazy and forgotten the little pleasures it brought to me. For this, I thank my friends who have been writing letters to me even though most of the time they didn’t get a reply. Thank you my friends. I promise I will pick up the slack and start writing again. And this is a promise I’m going to keep.
