When mobile phones were not the "thing" then in 80s & 90s, we use to chat using the fixed line from home alot more. I guess those days we could remember friends' home numbers better, fewer appointments were being cancelled last minute and we could somehow spend many more hours on the phone yakking/gossiping/updating each other on our lives/stories.
These days we have mobile phones and through that we could send text/picture messages. Otherwise, we could be on online messengers via the many various service providers such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, Skype etc. Or even drop an email to the other party. With the convenience of such lower cost communication and several options, talking on the phone never seems to be the 1st priority.
Now that I think about it, chatting on the phone for hours seems like a thing of the past. Maybe it's gotta do with the age factor. Umm....perhaps...maybe?
So when Water called last night and we engaged into this really serious girl talk, I enjoyed it so much to the extend that I was actually eating my cheese, relaxing on my bed and going through the intense conversation with her. Well, I shouldn't be going into details of our call, but it had to do with strategizing, analysis and critical thinking. See....the depth we had to go into? I think we spoke for almost an hour and ended the call only because Water seems to be losing her voice (she was down with a flu, poor thing).
I found the call satisfying...if I may use that to the describe it. After all, my...my...it's been ages!
