Just meet a bestfriend today and spend all day long with her. She got a job almost a month ago and since then our usual meeting on workdays stopped. We keep chatting everyday, with BBM, and lately with SMS or other messengers since her Blackberry was broken. Sometimes we just say hii... or I reported that I just woke up at 10 a.m., or she told me something stupid like her boss fart in front of her, silly and small things like that. Sometimes we shared about our job, she is an interior designer too, and projects we got.
But all those chats we did everyday can't beat the excitement when I meet her in person. We spent almost two hours after our lunch at the restaurant just to talk. Then a trip to another mall for movie and coffee, walk around to bought birthday cake and card for his cousin. It's a simple day out with a friend. And I had so much fun. ^^
Today's event remind me about a chapter in Mikko's latest edition. It's a japanese comic book about Mikko, a fifth grader. Her friend got a new handphone, and learn to send text to other. At first she thought it's cool because she can chat with her friends. But somehow she felt lonely. And Mikko, with her innocence, said that it's more fun to talk in person than through text on the phone.
It's really complicated in our world now. With facebook, twitter, bbm, ym, msn, etc. we can connect to the world, and the world to us. But despite the benefits they brought, we miss a lot of things too. Maybe a smile, a slight change of the voice tone, the way their eyes twinkling when excited, body language that say I don't like you right now, pat on your shoulder, a hug. Things that can't truly be transferred by keypad or keyboard.
We're all busy people, with a thing or two that always around, needed to be done as soon as possible. Let's just take a break sometimes. Spend just few hours, just to meet the people you care, in flesh.
This is fenny, signing out ~ ~
