Greeting Cards?

I was waiting for the shuttle bus to go to Suntec for work today, when I saw a teenage gal posting many greeting cards...she was looking through the envelopes again cautiously before throwing all of them into the mail post, and i caught a glimpse of the people she sent the cards to - Zixian, Angeline, Joseph, Guanxin etc...I didn't mean to look at those, but the names were written so big and clear.

When was the last time I literally sent out greeting cards by post? I forgot...that must have been a long time ago. Not even one, let alone a number.

I helped my colleagues to send those cards though. They were sending to overseas countries like Australia, New Zealand and London..yup, they have quite a number of overseas friends.

What do u think? I feel that sending cards overseas seems more interesting than sending cards locally. You may not have contacted or even seen an overseas friend for ages, and hey! Can you imagine how happy he/she will be upon receiving your X'mas card...that's so warming!

Most people would rather send e-cards..it's so convenient, and high-tech (u can personalise it by creating some of the designs) and cheap! I mean, it's FOC! Greeting cards cost at least $0.80 (that is, if u buy from supermarkets)..some cost even more - like Hallmark, they charge about a few dollars for just a card! What about postage?

Or smses - they are free within your service line bundle monthly. At least they cost $0.05 per sms if you are using prepaid cards, that is.

Or here! at blogs! If you are reading my blog now, well, Merry Christmas and a happy new year to u! May u enjoy many returns next year!

It's true that I have many friends, and some whom I have not contacted for ages, but I guess I'm just too lazy to buy cards, write greetings and well-wishes on them and even dig out friends' addresses - come to think of it - I may not even have their addresses on hand! Hai...

Anyway, it just seems so strange seeing people post greeting cards - it's kinda outdated isn't it? But still, a greeting card sends very deep sincerity, and it tells the receiver that the sender is thinking about him/her. That's just so nice, right?

At the most, I may just give a card to DD - by hand. That is, when I'm meeting him...Haha.

Would u send greeting cards to your friends by post?

PS: the date and time are wrong le. I won't stay up that late to write blogs le...
