Because if it were you, I would certainly have told you off in the face, no holds barred.<BR/><BR/>I certainly have much more than only one friend, you know. But I think that I am resigned to the fate that most of my friends are quite like you - always taking swipes at me, whether purposely or unintentionally.

Whereas for the card, you can put it at you workstation or hang it up etc. So to the 'laudies' I usually send cards.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-1138518080511756612006-01-29T15:01:00.000+08:002006-01-29T15:01:00.000+08:00Oh boy. What have I done? Was it me? (scratching m...Oh boy. What have I done? Was it me? (scratching my head trying hard to think if I had sent you the chain sms). The way we two take swipes at each other, I'm sure your other fans would have misconstrued that I was the guilty, I mean the innocent party. Let me assure all that nothing is further from the truth. I'm INNOCENT! Victor, say something! 还我青白!<BR/><BR/>Joke aside, Victor, I think you are confused with the difference between a Chain SMS disguised as a "greeting" and a SMS that truly conveys a well-meaning message. Your grip about SMS is nothing new my friend. Remember the Electronic Mail, aka email? We used to have what was called the snail-mail. Would you like to turn back the clock Victor? Imaging blogging with snail-mail, if it's possible? U think we could respond to each other almost within real-time? Then what about MSN? Is it possible?<BR/><BR/>Technology is here to stay, like it or not. So why not embrace it? Chain SMS is really nothing new. In the past, people do it the snail mail way. Imaging having to buy 20 stamps and 20 envelops, just to ward off the supposed bad luck. SMS makes it so easy for you. Still complain ahh? Not that I believe in them anyway, cause I think only those who are truly superstitious or "wu leow" are capable of doing.<BR/><BR/>Like what you did, I always hit the delete button.Chris Simhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760501651748435844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-1138466979308492882006-01-29T00:49:00.000+08:002006-01-29T00:49:00.000+08:00Normally I worded my own SMS greetings.
