The man who spent too much time posting on Speakers Corner and
didn't had time to make friends .......... one day he woke up at
aged 65 to find that the people he was communicating with were not
his friends at all.......just faceless nics like Fireicey,
noisylioness, badmary, theBearer, Andrewyip, Poh ah
Pek..........some had gone silent over the years, probably gone
forever to the eternal blue screen in the sky......
He should have dumped his computer and got out to join real
people at the Community Clubs, tour groups, religious groups or
youth groups....
Now he can join the old folks at the void deck, but he does not
speak on the same wavelength.....so he stays at home, watching his
TV and hoping some kind neighbour would foot the repair bill to his
trusty ancient laptop which he still hides under his bed....
Sometimes he would try to switch on the laptop, but his ancient
Vista OS wouldn't even load......he stares at the screen blankly,
and sheds a little tear........
