Skype




Recently I have got this craze about Skype. Ever since I got back from my Asian tour I signed up to Skype (skype.com) in collaboration with my good friend Kee Mun. And I have been wondering ever since why I did not use Skype earlier (it sounded so technical, isn't that familiar) or that I will live without it in future. The facts are the picture quality is very good, the voice quality is very good and it's free! A friend of mine Lian Lee Har who lives in Egypt tells me that her husband plays Backgammon every day with his dad who lives in the UK, on Skype! I can imagine me playing 象棋 with my friends on Skype!

The only thing at the moment is that I have not got Skype credit yet and so I cannot use it to call someone's phone or mobile. Once I have the credit the world is my oyster. And I can see myself getting a mobile phone already loaded with Skype software or a Skype WIFI phone that I can buy off the shelf from Dick Smith @ A$200 that I can use like a normal phone without having to be on the computer to call someone anywhere in the world.

I have taken some snapshots of us on the Skype. Hilarious! I can't wait till Kee Mun sees this post and comment on it!
