In my late secondary school life, a couple of my very good friends left me to study aboard. At that time, we didn't have email, and not to mention ICQ or even Skype. The long distance call at that time was also not as cheap as it is now. Therefore, we wrote each other letters. But most of the time, the letters were from me, as they were busy adjusting their lives (and lazy).
One day, I'd found that there were too many things I want to tell them both. They were the same stories. But it's kind of rude to send a photocopy letter to a friend. So, I took out an old tape recorder and recorded a 60 minutes audio tape for them.
Since then I made quite a few more. And the monolog got longer and longer. I ended up buying 120 minute tapes. I also got a walkman, which could do recording. Then I brought it everywhere with me and record whatever I wanted to tell them. Pretty much the same as how I am blogging with my Treo now.
In that 120 minutes, besides my attractive voice, I also record some songs for them. Feel like a disc jockey at that time. Ha! My friends told me that even after a long time they received the tape, they'd still take it out to listen again and again. I really appreciate that. I wonder if I can still get them to give me back a copy. I am sure there is a lot of silly (and embarrassing) things inside which I can have a good laugh about. Hmm... Second thought. Maybe I should kill my friends and destroy the tapes first before they used them to blackmail me... He... He...
