Dear friends,

It must have been a life time since the last time we chatted face to face, otherwise our conversations would not seem like vivid dreams to me at this very moment, so cloudy and unclear.

I’m so afraid that I might lose the common experiences that we have had, forgetting them like forgetting the little stories that I was told by my grandparents when I was a child, like forgetting the songs I used to sing when I was in primary school, like forgetting the answers to questions I was once forced to remember in preparation for the coming exam…

Space-time is breaking our bonds one by one, separating the already separated us. Once before we were so close, like brothers and sisters, but when was it? It seems so far away now. If we are standing beside each other now, can we still share with each other the little treasures that we have like before? Can we still make the same jokes and laugh? Do we still have our common language? Do we still share the same thought, identity and goal? Or are we, already, changed, become strangers…

I often long to hear from you, but this longing must have been suppressed by the separated life I am leading now, otherwise I would have felt worse than what I feel now for not receiving any emails from you.

I did receive emails, didn’t I? There were one whole letters at the beginning, giving a full description of your wonderful life. I didn’t have an internet at home then, which was my excuse for not reading the entire letter and not making any reply. Later came one paragraph letters, which were simple, straight forward and informative? But I was able to finished reading them and maybe reply to it and still managed to finish my lunch before going back to my dormitory at 1. Then slowly, they were replaced by one-liners, which were very brief. Then I guess evolution changed direction, short emails became long emails. I would have been glad, since now that I have an internet connection at home, if there were true emails, because for what they appeared to me were spasm, invitations to a specific group that allows your to share photos… I guess I’m just not fashionable, I find it quite troublesome to change one photo-sharing site to another, then to another… So, for simplicity, I just mark them as spam…

As for hi5, the only social-site that I am stuck to now, I don’t usually go and check if anything new in it. I guess I am just too lazy…

I really missed those days when we were in the same school, or when we were going for a trip, or even when we were just sitting around somewhere near the seashore…

Ok, finally I am reaching the end of this page on Word. Well, I’ve spent quite a bit of time in writing this very long letter, so it should not be too much if I ask you to write something more meaningful to me instead of sending me spam!  (Just joking.)

Forever remember you, my friends.
