  this is crap man. the only reason i can think of to explain this is that when those idiots change handphone no./ change a new sim card/ handphone lost etc, they don't bother to inform u at all.
  
  possible reasons why they don't inform u might be
  
  1) they are lazy
  2) they don't know your number since all those numbers is stored inside the sim card and they never keep a backup in a notebook. which is a lousy excuse since there is always the e-mail.
  3) u are not a important friend so they don't care or even bother to inform u

  has it ever occurred to you that some friends (the blur ones) may have lost their handphone, so they lost all their contacts?
  
  I think its good to always think of positive things instead of being so negative. Like that, life is happier.

  I think most people grow out of the "greetings". In the past i would be writing all the greeting cards out..right now...i think there isn't any one that really want to put in effort for it =(

  I've sent dozens of greeting cards this year. I feel that sending greeting cards are more meaningful and sentimental. Ten years down the road, you still can take out the cards and see see.. It's sort of bring back memories...

  yes it had occurred to me. in fact i have already mentioned it in my 1st post. did u read it when u quote my post?
  
  and i also mentioned that if handphone is lost, they can always e-mail them or through MSN, friendster etc etc. so there is no excuse.
  
  cheers. happy new year and have a nice day.

  what I meant was, just think the better of people
  your initial posting is still focused on the negative aspects.
  Think positive, and you will feel happier.

  u cant blame them. sometime it happens when they change hp, but the memory of contacts r stored in previous hp instead of sim card. some errors will occur if u accidently copy memory wrongly n make the sim card haywire.
  
  some of the pple need to switch 2 hp everyday becos their workplace prohibit them to use cam phone.

  My hp was damaged beyond repaired from a couple of months back and the idiotic guy who was repairing it wiped out the phone memory where i had stored my numbers.
  
  There were numbers inside which I have not recovered to date, which include friends and clients'.
  
  These people do not have MSN, friendster, etc.
  
  Not everyone uses the internet to connect okay...

  screwed those people lar, i never to bother messaging them when i know they'll be the ones who can't bother to remember, because most of the time if you sms those people, it will be like this:
  
  THEM: "Err..whose this?"
  
  ME: "Eh its me! ****"
  
  THEM: "Oh hey! Happy New Year to you too"
  
  and thats the end of the conversation. most of them will just forget you again in a couple of months so screw them
