The Origin of Emoticons

A long long time ago, before there were computers, before there were chatrooms and MSN, people talked to themselves instead of others, in a primitive form call a diary. And as we all know, a picture expresses one's thoughts and feeling easier then words sometimes can. So even in that age, there are things call emoticons! The photo here shows some of the emoticons found in one of my ancient diaries (dated 1990). Thankfully, my drawing improves as years goes by. Hey hey! Maybe I can bring back my paintings in my next trip to Penang!
