How Many Chinese New Year Greeting Cards Did You Get?

I mean the real card. The red ones that come with pink envelopes, I mean. I didn't get any. Isn't that sad? That shows what an outcast I am. Perhaps some people thought that I am no longer around because I have been too quiet.

The act giving and receiving cards is like blogging. You give me one and I give you one in return. Just like I comment on your blog and you comment on mine. Well, it has been a few years since I did not send out any cards physically because I don't even know where my friends are anymore. I do know their email addresses, though and do send cards to a select few. Ah, they should be so honoured!

With the convenience of SMS text messages, who even bothers to send out real cards anymore?

I did, however, receive a New Year card from my long time pen-pal who sent it so that it reaches me in time for Chinese New Year. Ah, he is ever so thoughtful!
