Pager and da-ge-da

A young family celebrating Christmas. This photograph was taken at Plaza Singapura, basement 2 former Yaohan toys' department in the early '90s. Looking at it, you would have noticed that I was carrying a pager. At that time, it was a in-thing. Though handphone was introduced, it cost about $3000-$5000. Yes, I am talking about da-ge-da, those big, bulky handphones. When it became obsolete, many used it to crack the crab shell at seafood dinner. Back to the pager, now I find it degrading. Responding to those beeps is like a dog answering its owner's whistle. Sigh! Those were the days.......
