My Pen-pals

I was packing up my room the other day when I found a bagful of mails which I’ve once received 13years ago. As I’ve forgotten most of the contents of the mails, I took them out one by one. Just as I read each mail sent I was wondering how and where all my pen-pals have gone.

I don’t know if it’s still the “in” thing to have pen-pals nowadays, considering the fact that it’s the age of IT (Information Techniques), unlike 13years ago, not many people were using the Internet to get to know friends.

I remembered that there were a lot more letters sent to me but somehow, I’ve thrown hundreds of them away. I still remember pen-pals like Christina who stayed at Dakota Crescent whom I once confided my life to her and shared a number of things over the mail. I really wonder who is she getting on and is she married etc… Then, there’s Cai PeiShi Doreen whom I kind of lost touch with back then; oh yes, she stayed at Marsiling Rise back then. Of course, there is another pen-pal with the nick Tweety who stays at Upper Cross Street, Estella who stayed at Marine Terrace and not forgetting my long lost pen-pal, Melissa Hou whom I met once but wrote to each other for years.

I do miss them and really want to find out how they have been doing in life. I really hope to be able to meet up with my pen-pals once more but this time, I do want to meet them in my MSN instead.

Really missed those days where I confided in them and told them about things in my life. It’s such a pity that I lost every single of my pen-pals. I really cannot recall why I did not manage to keep in touch with them (maybe due to time constrains etc) but I really missed those days where I am able to share my thoughts with them as well as to know what they are going through in life right now and be friends with them once more…

Do people still have pen-pals nowadays?
