there's something about ..... familiar sounds

Today I called my wife.

I don't usually call her, she calls me more because of incoming free-calls that I enjoy.

And today I hear a familiar sound.

The sound that I haven't heard for about 7-8 years which surprises me.

It surprises me on 2 counts.

Firstly, how on earth it happens.

Secondly, it's the sound of Pager!!

PAGER!!!!

PAGER!!!!

PAGER!!!!

For some strange reasons, my wife's line will not go to voicemail but pager. It was sweet. Because we got that pager together when we were dating. But we have long discarded the usage and the physical pager itself. So it came as a total surprise that my wife hasn't change that phone settings for so long.

Now, we are not too sure what we should do about it. This is like the last piece of History in the whole world and a piece of History about us. That peeping sound is so irritating but yet so close to us. It serve zero function other than reminding us that we are irritating and yet sentimental.

To any caller, they might think that we are someone:

1.) Very Dinosaur.
2.) Very Rude. "I kept paging for you but you never return call".
3.) Very Rude. "I kept hearing that peep peep sound... are you swearing?"

So, if you ever miss that sound of paging, and you have my wife's number, the best time to reminiscence that is to call her during 12 to 3pm.

And she might just called back "DIANG KAR PAGER?"
