Pearly is a sweetheart, isn't she? She sent me a postcard too. :)

It was such a pleasant surprise since I hardly get cards, postcards or letters (except bills! haha) in the post box these days.

Take care, dear. Enjoy your week.

Daphne Ling said...

Hey Winnie,

I want also, how ah? I don't know Pearly...=(

I love letters in the post too! To me, it means a lot if someone sends me letters and cards in the postbox...

It means the person thought of you, took the time to buy the card, took even more time to pen it, and took samore time to go and post it!

But in today's email world, we seldom see cards which we can actually hold and store in a box (I do!) anymore...

All virtual...And forwarded a few hundred times...

Haih...

It is definately a lovely surprise to recieve postcard. I agree with poohbear, nowadays, it is either email, sms or phonecalls. That's a lovelyt card. I would be so please if I recieve it too. :) It is the thoughts that counts. As Pearly took the effort to remember you, wrote a message and sent it to you. Really nice.
