Morning Dose with H.O. Solo

Halim is alone this morning. Kinda miss him last week when Rina was solo. I'm attracted to his sample of hari "adik-beradik" where siblings will get together, without their parents or friends. Good suggestion, i like that. But not applicable for me as my brother passed away a few years

ago.

Standing on the train, been thinking. Yes, I would like to have a "Hari Menulis Surat" to Malaysians- this means writing on a piece of paper and post it! The art of writing letter has long gone. I remember when I was in my second year in ITM, my English lecturer made the class write a letter and submit to him as an assignment. It was in 1990. Nowadays, we are too fond of sms and sending e-mails. People are too technology 'savvy'. Every single words are being shortened. Whatever happen to our stamps? Dont forget the art of licking the stamps. How many people do go to the post office or to the post box to send their letters and compare them to the number of sms and emails we send each day.

So dear Halim, I am suggesting the "Hari Menulis Surat" to all Malaysians, to appreciate the art of writing on a piece of paper, put in an envelope, paste a stamp and post it. I am sure it's going to be interesting.
