I think there's need for me to revise my keep-in-touch habits. It gets really depressing when friends go off spouting a whole load of rubbish when you call, just cos they're stunned silly by your sudden effort to pull an act of reemergence and jump right back into their lives. Let me conversationally illustrate my point with a couple of real-life, rip-my-heart-out-while-you're-at-it scenarios:
SCENARIO 1
Pam Song: Hello?
Friend 1: Gong Xi Fa Cai.
Pam Song: *stops to think* Huh?
Friend 1: Yes, it's been that long.
Pam Song: *blink blink* -_-
SCENARIO 2
Pam Song: Hel...
Friend 2: Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.
Pam Song: Uh, hello?
Friend 2: Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.
Pam Song: WEI!
Friend 2: Oh my god. Oh my god. I can't believe you're calling me. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my g... *pause* What do you want from me?
Pam Song: *blink blink* -_-
You'd think that with an entire host of modern communication technology play things like email, mobile calling capabilities, SMS and now PacMee, it'd have upped my comm cum keep-in-touch skills a notch. Sigh. I don't think it did. And speaking from experience... *cough* ...TWICE... *cough cough* ...it looks like my friends don't think it did anything to boost my comm skills either. Bummer.

the other morning when you called me I have the exactly feeling like 'friend2'.. Oh my god! Pam called me! Then I quickly woke up to return your call. Haha
