C4 news was reporting the success story of Skype this evening, on how the idea of on-line 'free speech' was developed in Estonia (surprise, surprise), its rapid popularity and eBay's $4.1 billion+ purchase. I am grateful to that Estonian programmer... Last night I talked to my childhood friend as if she was in my room. Last month I lost count of how many times FY and I took advantage of the green call button, and just a few hours ago one of my three best friends told me her good news. Every now and then my schoolmates are tying the knot, but it feels so much different when this is happening to someone dear to you. (As I am the first friend to know about the decision, hehe!) I asked if there was a ring in the scene. She happily said no, and that it doesn't matter. I asked if there will be a big wedding and bridesmaids. Again, she said only close family members are invited, and I count as family. At that instant I felt very happy, not just because there's a wedding to go to in December, but also she's the down-to-earth and intelligent lady I've always known and admired.
