lovelove(:

Right after my braces were removed, I sms-ed bestie!

And she replied, "Woah! Can't wait to see our pretty gurl!"

I feel so loved right then and there! (: I think it's because of the word "our" (:

Anyways, I love my bestie!

About common sense manners on social network.

You know how in real life, you can just choose to avoid someone you don't really like without appearing rude/mean and the likes? You can choose to tell some people some stuff and the other "group" will have no clue? You can be exclusive AND not be rude? You can ignore a person's comment in a group discussion and go un-noticed?

Okay, it's not just because you can. But you actually restrict yourself or you have some common sense/manners/considerations in real life. So why can't we carry that over to social networks?

If you have an exclusive list or cliques, do not go around announcing that you have revised your little list and that you will be using that list more often. It's just rude insensitive.

I mean, it's almost like you are saying, "Hahaha. You are not in the list. Not in my list. Nanny nanny poo poo!". I'm sorry, but seriously, that's the image that pops up in my head every time I see such a thing happening. And that image comes with butt shaking and tongue dangling out of mouth. Cute t-shirt and shorts sold separately.

I understand (but don't really agree) the need to have cliques and segregate your friends in social networks. So, just do it quietly and *pause and thinks* you know, "talk" to these people. You don't have to announce it to the whole wide world.

Because, you don't go around telling people that you have told Group A certain stuff and that you are not going to tell them, right? Right? *suspicious eyes*

Then there's the thing about ignoring comments. Let's say you have posted something really interesting and then it generates quite a bit of discussion. Some comments are really interesting and then there's those that are really DUH! But need some replying.

If this is in real life, you can just *pause* I don't know, smile and laugh at the person's comment and just let it pass. But if it's on things like blogs/plurk/Facebook, there's no way you can just let it pass. Especially since you are/will be replying all the other comments. What do you do?

I think it will be rude to just ignore the comment and the poor guy will be highlighted! People will be reading the discussion and then they will go, "Eh! XX didn't reply this person's comment. This person must be pathetic/clingy to XX/whatnot." Basically, it will look like you are blocking off that person. Like how Cynthia blocked Renu, Sivan's friend and me in the photo (I had to leech onto her to make the photo look continuous).

ANYWAYS!

Yeah. If you ignore the person, the person may not be discouraged from commenting on your stuff in the future. That's not good, right? Because you never know! Someday, somehow, this person might just leave a comment that will enlighten you or enhance your stand or..you get my point.

Therefore, unless you have the intention to make the person look/feel bad, I suggest that you make some sort of reply. Be it a simple, "haha" or a Q&A classic, "I'll keep that in mind". Whatever! Just you know reply something!

One last thing! Remember how I say sometimes social media can be like high school ? Well, there's another way of putting it.

You know how some kids in school will only answer/be active in some teachers class? Always the first to raise their hands? And how people like to call them teacher's pets/bootlickers and all sort of nasty names?Well, THERE!

When a person only answers or comment on certain people's post (even though it's not something with discussion value), isn't he/she a "teacher's pet"? Eager to show that they are in the "in" crowd (whoo..sensitive word here) and that they are special, yada yada yada yada?

Yups, that's my 2-cents worth.

Just remember that even though you may not see people around you in social networks, it does not mean that they are not around. And hence, you have to be CIVIL to them!

Wrote this a few days ago. But now I'm just feeling a little jaded and tired of Plurk social networks. It's like everyone already knows everyone from somewhere else. So it's just hard? And with all the "high school" stuff, it's just tiring? Oh wells. Don't mind me. Just tired and grumpy and in need of a hug.

Wanted.

Okay, I was wow-ed over by the trailer. The scene where Angelina Jolie drove the red sports car, swerved and *boom* the guy is in the car! Wow-wee! Hahas.

So, after a little bugging and stuff, Sivan, Saran and I caught the movie today yesterday!

I was turned off right from the start. Too much blood (like seriously?! how can a person bleed so much?!) and too unrealistic. For the first half of the show, it feels like some modern-slasher movie. Instead of knives, there's guns and those sort of stuff.

The storyline is pretty crap. Fate?! Hello? The only time a movie can use the word, "fate" and not sound lame is if the person who says it is psychotic or if the movie is about some weird cult. Then again, the people in the weird cult are probably psychotic. So, yeah. Fate is only for psychos.

But but but! I love the twist in the movie! After that, the show kind of got better. Except for the exploding rats part.

And! I love it when they showed the curved bullets in slow motion. Pwweeetty! Is it possible to make bullets curl in real life? *ponders*

I want to take back all the things I've said about Angelina Jolie! She's HOT! The way she smirks and holds a gun is like *fans self* HOT! I think the movie would have been really been without her. She's like the STAR of the show. Angelina Jolie! YOU'RE MY GOD!

*coughs and regain composure* So yes, overall, I'll give the movie 2.5 popcorn out of 5. Watch only if you have nothing to watch.

P/S: This show is a bad influence! After the show, my sentences are littered with the F-word, shit and stuff like mother of all gastric pain-.- And it makes me want to pick a fight!

So this is goodbye.

I have been on myspace for about 4 years now.

Loads of things happened there. It was a place that I can blog freely because readers of my blogs either don't know me or live far away from Singapore. I can bitch freely there. And more importantly, I can be wild there.

The "first" time I met someone from online was a "friend" from myspace. This person was then given the label of "banana ass" and condemned by my friends and later on, by me. Fuck man. You think you are very charming ah? Toying with someone's feelings like that?! You are just a short, insecure guy. BAH. *breathes*

After that incident, I swore not to meet anyone online anymore. But then I got to know another guy. No, history did not repeat itself. CHOY! It was pure fun this time. Not in a realtionship kind of way. CHOY! However fun it was *grins*, that was short.

It's been 4 months since I last logged in to myspace. I went in today, looked through my pictures and blog. It felt so surreal. What I wrote is still true. The pictures I took and posted there serves to remind me that I am not just a goody goody. I am not some plain jane.

I just feel that, I should stop with this separating of my personality and just blog. Blog freely here. Post pictures freely here. Then maybe, it won't be so hard on myself.

I am going to transfer the posts out from myspace, save the pictures and then, I am going to close that account.

This is goodbye.

today.

I'm feeling a little jaded today.

Should have known. When the father unit was talking to me today, I just ignored him, gulfed down breakfast and ran back to my room to change.

Feeling anti-social perhaps? Who knows?

I'm just in a lousy mood. Jaded.

Flah-Phat-Urgh-Grr-Bah!

(saved as draft)

Get ready for a tsunami of post!

Working is seriously bad for the health of my blog. Not that anyone is actually following it. But you know, just for the record.

As no life as this sounds (but then, I never said that I have a life), I go home everyday after work. Except for tuition and dental appointments. And the occasional movie with the newly formed movie clique, k-box with the JC guys and that's about it.

But hey, considering that 70% 80% 85% of my friends are attached, I am already making the best of the situation.

Once I reach home, I will plonk in front of the huge ass (or some say) TV and fall asleep before the first commercial comes round. Then it will be dinner, bath-time and then back into my very messy and neglected room. Where I will switch on my laptop, check Plurk/emails/blogs, decide that I will have a little lie-down and then conk out for the rest of night. Waking up for 5 mins to have my glass of milk, brush my teeth and read about a page of whatever book I am reading.

Yups, I have so many thoughts in my head that they are all clogged now.

Some are gone. Some are stuck but ideas/witty quotes removed from them. So, today, I will do some rescuing and then space the post out over the day(s) or something.

Possible posts: On definition of short, on booty calls, on tax evasion, on ERPs, on things people do in relationships and on stalky guys from PA IT.

But I have to say, I am not in the top-of-the-world mood today. BEWARE for sarcastic/mopey post and reaction.

No offense okays?(:
