The age of internet have changed how we communicate with each other. Thus, killing the good ole snail mail which I fondly remember sending letters to my pen pals in Australia and New Zealand when I was still in Secondary School (equivalent to High Schools). And good friends who were living and studying in Australia and United Kingdom.
Now that I am living in Shanghai and far away from my family and friends, sure I can send them an email, or even Facebook or call them via Skype. But nothing beats sending and receiving a postcard or letter from your friends and love ones.
My dear friend, Ayako Goh, have been sending me postcards from Singapore, and sometimes during her oversea healing trips, she will not forget to send me a postcard or two. Unfortunately sometimes the postman gets lost and looses our mails. So a postcard which was sent from New Zealand earlier this year somehow got lost in mail.
So Ayako decide to send me a new mail and luckily I received it this morning. A lovely card of an illustration of a bat flying over a full moon. How auspicious! Remember I mentioned about how Bats represents Wealth on my earlier blog? Hand written with a heart-warming and lovely message of congratulations on the opening of Mystic Cats in Shanghai.
So don't do away with snail mails. Send someone a postcard or letter instead of an SMS or email today. It will definitely brighten their day.
