I’ve been skyping with my best fren robingoh regularly as he goes through his wonderful ordeal of buying a flat. I skype almost everyday with Arul to get advice on work and to see how she’s doing with her dance performances.
After a little bit of nudging, my dad in Canada installed it so and I just skyped with him.
Here’s a screen cap of us chatting!
Its really comforting to be able to see the person you’re talking to and you really can communicate so much more.
Arul was just complaining when the connection was bad and we cudn’t get video yesterday nite that it was like talking to a blank wall without the video feed. We’re getting spoiled by all this technology.
Really grateful to the inventors of this video conferencing protocol coz it really does make the geographic distance between us seem not so wide after all.
I’m thinking it won’t be too soon in the future, with highspeed broadband being made available everywhere, before this face to face chatting becomes a norm since some of us lug our laptops with us almost everywhere.


I already lug my lappie everywhere i go!
Skype is good le, I call back home every week and listen to my parents rattle off
you and ur gutter mind …… no my dad does not have an alter-ego ….. he set up the account for my mom and he’s testing it for her
hahaha … wah … u really give me too much credit
no one is interested in an old uncle like me la
plus i’ve got too much work commitments and spend too much time playing pool at straight pool halls … so even more unlikely chance of sex la
Why is your dad called Florence Yew? ;P
(this is sooo fun!)
GASP!! no sex??
why??!! have you slept with EVERYBODY already??!! ;P
hahaha … i’m on a Mac … so our cam options are severely limited not like u windows people
contrary to popular believe i’m very inexperienced in the cam sex thing and recently i haven’t had any sex
wasn’t it u who said years ago that u thot i got my hair from my mom coz we were natural red heads?
i’m surprised a webcam (sex) connoisseur like you is so easily impressed ;P
you’ve inherited your dad’s hair … hur hur
really? … hehehe …. a lot of people say i look like my mom
yah lor … every time i get called at home i’m in some state of undress so sometimes must go put on a t-shirt and comb my hair
eh you and your dad look so alike!
Haha, I hate video conferencing because I wear ugly pajamas and look like shit at home.
