Long distance relationship

No this is not about Sharon. Of cos it is a long distance relationship for all of us...but today's column is about MY long distance relationship with Iggie. Last night, I was on the phone with Iggie. And I really mean I was on my cellphone in HK, and he is no the cellphone in Singapore. NO webcams.

I mean initially I thought it will be a good idea for me to help Sharon, by talking/entertaining Iggie over Skype in the evening. But since logging into Skype is certainly not as intuitive with picking up the phone, we did it directly over the cellphone. And it was really quite interesting...we talked a little about my day at work, and his day in school...and what we are doing now...of course, it is not a "focussed" chat, with Iggie constantly drifting into other activities. At one point, I was speaking for quite a few minutes without response, only noting that he was on his bottle.

Point here is...it was really quite an interesting (and long) chat! But I think we probably pushed it a little too far, when Sharon went for a shower...That was after I was on the phone with him for twenty minutes??? Sharon left Iggie in the bedroom to speak with me on the phone. But soon after, I found myself holding on the phone for a good five to eight minutes ALL alone ("me simply saying..Iggie...are you there...where are you...")...I figured he must have been really bored and left the room to play somewhere else:P
