      ... N they use voice messages .
      ...
      I never get the hang of voice messages. I just had lunch and there was this Chinese guy sitting near me who kept speaking on the phone, then stopped to read his mobile and get some bites of his food, then spoke to his phone again and the whole cycle repeats again for many times. I was annoyed and quickly finished my meal and left fast. He was still doing it when I left :faint: . Wouldn't it be easier for him just to have a normal phone conversation on his mobile?

        Sometimes, it is because the other party is not convenience to talk over the phone. When I am in MRT, it is so noisy that I cannot talk properly inside the train. The other advantages of using voice message are : the other party can have some time to think before they reply instead of immediate reply over phone conversation.

                šŸ˜‚ i also dun like vm,

                i think the chinese speaking older aunties grp like to use voice msg, for longer msg or sentence
                becoz they do not know han yu ping yin to type (fast) and its a grp chat, they use voice to speak
                to inform/tell everyone is faster bah ..

                        The last day was terrible. I'm so sorry for whatever happened. This is the last time it will happen because I have had enough with the frequent outages of this hosting company, the constant claims over the years that they will get back to me after incidents happened, but they never did. We are moving to AWS.
