Today we received a telegram! I feel so last century. WHO would be sending ME a telegram? I didn't even realize one could still send a telegram in today's digital age. Malaysia is the base for numerous electronics companies, so it isn't as if it's behind the times in terms of technology. Though I was thrilled that we received a true blue telegram, I wasn't impressed with its efficiency.
The telegram informed us that our boxes had arrived at the airport cargo terminal. I had already picked up said boxes more than twenty-four hours before the message reached us. Mr. Happy called two days before using Mr. Alexander Graham Bell's handy invention. We got the information faster and the phone call was cheaper than the telegram. But a few extra ringgit were probably worth the novelty factor. STOP.
