Ooh the last post was deep wasn’t it? So un-PB. Blame it on the aliens - PB is now back 
When Pinkelle is around, we spend a lot of time chatting to each other online and usually on the phone at least once a day. Sometimes, its mind-boggling what we have to say to each other, when we sometimes meet up after work or on weekends and yabber away some more. I suppose we are close in that way.
While she was in London, I felt quite lost not having my chat buddy online. But this is where technology makes the world a smaller place.
Roaming is expensive so SMS messages were few and far in between. But with roaming, we knew just when she arrived at immigration and that she had arrived safely at her hotel.
When she had no access to MSN, we reverted to Gmail chat. Through Gmail chat, she could tell me what she had access to (a supermarket!!!) and I could tell her what I wanted from there (sausage rolls!!!).
She could tell me what time she was due to arrive home, and to ask me to remind my brother to bring over a pair of shoes she needed for a dinner she had to attend.
I could tell her that my credit card bill was here with her expenses on it and that she owed me money in a BIG way.
And here’s the best part:
3000 miles away, and in a totally different time zone, she could transfer money from her bank account into mine at a click of a button.
What is there not to love about technology?
Have a good weekend all!

This is SUCH a sisterly love post! With a subtle hint of technology added in for good measure!
I always wished I had a sister… now I know what I’m missing!
My sis was in UK for 2 weeks for a biz trip, it’s actually cheaper to call her (IP calls) while she was in UK than in KL, absurb, but also amazing how this world has become smaller with internet.
Small world indeed! Hehe…amazing huh? I still owe you BIG TIME so gotta wait for the next paycheck for that one
But yeah it’s weird how much we have to crap about! Hee…
LB: Sometimes vomit blood also la
May: LOL yeah…
Giddy Tiger: Thank goodness for technology, she paid me!
Rinnah: Aww… its not always roses
Leah: Its true! Its cheaper and easier to communicate with people overseas. Hip hip hurrah for the internet!
Pinkelle: *whips out 555 book*
Hey Pinkelle, I guess PB’s forgotten all the times she wanted to bash you over the head when you were a tyke, eh! ;)))
I’d always wished for a sis.. somehow, communication isn’t v. high on the list for brothers. Sigh.
Oh that is cool. Can we see if she can switch some money into my bank account too? 0.0
Okay maybe not. But I love being able to communicate with folks all over so easy. Now if I could only live on Kay El time.
