sms from brisbane




today, at about 1.00 p.m., i received an sms message from ida. she is in brisbane with her sister ivy attending a church conference. it is something quite unusual to get a message in the afternoon because my daughters and i communicate every day in the evening via skype or the telephone.

ida had taken the 24-hour inter-state coach ride while ivy flew to brisbane on budget airline blue virgin. ida started her journey on thursday while ivy left melbourne on friday at 3.00 p.m.

her message reads: Daddy they said that u will go senile in less than 9 years if you don't do anything after you retire. Play mahjong and blog more often

actually blogging has helped me realise what i have always wanted to do. since the advent of the internet, i had always wanted my own web-page where i could share information, knowledge and news with others. blogspot.com has allowed me to do just that without having to know anything about html.

as for mahjong, i do enjoy playing it but i have not done so for quite a while. you need to have three other like-minded friends to have an enjoyable session.
