Not too long ago, it was a phone call, an email occasionally or meeting up for dinner or afternoon tea on the weekends. That was how friends kept in touch, amidst a full and busy week of family, work and miscellaneous drama everywhere.
Yet, the age of technology gave people another outlet to this mundane, almost archaic venture of keeping in touch. It's called a blog! Everyone's got one (well, almost).
Yesterday I was called (cos' I'm the Helpdesk to my friends) to solve another problem. Someone wants to set up her blog to get paid but dunno what an RSS feed was. XML? What kind of shit is that?! How come the lines don't appear to be the way I want it?.....and it goes on...
What was interesting was this is a friend who's not the best-est of friend with technology but guess what...she's managed to setup a pretty impressive blog on her own. Kudos Drama Mama...you should be proud. I'm sure you'll offer us mere mortals a glimpse of your life with the kids that's filled with giggles and raised eyebrows!
Even my Pathfinder buddy (the one that's Chinese but speaks Malay to each other like we're Malays! Yes, it's you Jeffrey Tan!) has got his very own...
So now that everyone's got a story to tell and the space to tell them to the world, I am looking forward to interesting tales from beyond the ones and zeros of cyberspace.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring to Drama Mama...(fingers crossed)

Yeah, my Drama Mama friend and the wild man makes me feels so left behind for not owning a blog. Some more I am supposed to be the IT savvy one.
You see, the problem is, after 8 - 10 hours of work in front of the PC, I really don't have mood to even switch on a PC after work. PC overdose!
Well, I'll do it the conventional way - chat over a dinner or coffee. That's the excuse for friends to meet up.
I seem to love my Mac. I switch it on all the time. Maybe it is because you don't own a Mac? or maybe ran out of friends....
