I am sure many are familiar with Facebook. Its proponents will say that it is the best invention ever! I am not too familiar with its functions or what it can do altho I do have an account(Sadly, I hardly ever use it).
While meeting w some friends, the topic of Facebook came up and I started to find out more abt it. The regular users mentioned that they got in touch with so many long-lost friends via facebook. I thot it incredible. When I found out how it was done, a question arose in my mind. What if you do not want to rekindle the friendship for some reason or another with the friend who contacted you or vice-versa? It's not like you can say I did not get yr sms etc. Would I be a hypocrite by continue correpondence and what not? Hmmmmm.....
And then I was told about how you could poke, send invites, fight and a thousand other things you can do on facebook. When I asked one of them how much time a day they spent on facebook and the answer astounded me! He spent an average of 5 hours a day on it!!!! That's 35 hrs a week and 140 hrs a month. Oh don forget, add another 5hrs for each sat and sun and the grand total comes to 180 hours! That's seven and a half days in a month! Gosh, couldn't that time be spent more productively? In their defence, they mentioned that their number of friends have increased by leaps and bounds b'cos of facebook. Well, I guess no one can tell you how to run your life but yourself.
Maybe one day when I have earned my millions, I will start "Facebook-ing", if there's such a term. For now, I will stick to blogging.......

Yeah dude, me also knows some people who are fooking addicted to it.
Me canna be bothered as well. Tak syok la. Bloggong is a release.
Though some old friends managed to track me down via facebook which was nice.
Rite on bro! What wld you do if the guy who tracked you down is someone you do not want to re-establish contact with?
It was a 'she', so allrite la . . . he he.
But if you don't want to re-establish contact, just delete la . . . simple.
But that wouldn't be too nice rite?
Donno mate!
Well it's a social networking site i suppose but I do like some of the embedded applications though..like iBooks(i get to read reviews), the various groups(much philosophy and math. too), and of course the photos of me mates uploaded on to it!
The thing with blogs is you have to visit every one of them individually...facebook can help you notify ppl. when you blog(try Blog It).
And you're so right...it's an evil thing that takes your time..i'm still sticking to the porno webSites!!

p/s: Through facebook..i've met one of my closes friends and got to get to know her all over again.
Mohan : Is that closest friend who I think it is? The one in Form 6?
Spot on dude...;-)

hmmm... i check fb like 1000 times a day i think.. but less than 2 mins. each time... i hate it when ppl keep sending me app.
and yes, tracking down old frens... that's nice.
regarding ur dilemma, like Bala said, just not accept the fren request... simple
I totally totally agree with you. My facebook is once again sitting there looking empty.
Mohan : So wat's happening between u 2?
Senorita : 1000 times a day? You are worse than my frens! haha! Yes, i use to get so many of those invites, pokes and what not. For some reason it has stopped.
Moonfish : Are you aware that if you have idle accounts like us, these ppl will pick fights or whatever with you and they can gain internet credit or s'thing like that? According to them, we are their "water fish". Glad to know we are of some help to them!
So wat's happening with you? Still so busykah?
i'm a student.. what do u expect?
ironically i have the problem u have with facebook, only mine is with blogging...
what do u do when u wanna blog abt somebody and that person reads ur blog? 0.o
Considering your downtime(hangovers) and your facebook times, you don have much time left do you? No wonder got bad marks in exam! haha! jangan marah ya. joke only.
Very true! But I guess you only have that problem if you have s'thing not so nice to say abt them. If that's the case, then I suggest you not blog abt it!
LLT, Nothing at all except good friends(picking up when we left off). She's happily married with 2 kids and am quite happy for her!(thank goodness i'm far away!)
Good for her! Why thank goodness that u're far away? Is there s'thing I shd know.........
Yup! She's still a major babe and I'm a sucker for major babes!...hahaha
LLT, there's something funny when conversing with someone who shared her first kiss/first intimate relationship with you. 200 long messages in 1 1/2 months later you get to know someone new but nothing different than who you always knew!
M.
p/s: Anyone there have any clues of ex's/first loves??
mohan: Playing with fire aaah. Typical Macha must drama. Good luck dude.
Mohan, you got to move on bro. Don have any clue abt my ex's first loves and I don wanna know!
Relaklah dudes,
Nothing's happenin'. We're just close friends because we share so much in common!
OOI..!! that's mean..!! i exaggerated abt the time i spent on fb lar...! and i get bad marks for Assignment... coz i did it wrong.not exams..!! do not jinx it..!! my results not out yet..
hmmph!
senorita..good luck for the results. What do you study anyway(when you no getting smashed..haha)?
hahaha...that should read .. (when you're not getting smashed)!
All : By the way, Mohan is known as the "God of Drinkers" in my circle of frens and all those who know him in M'cca. If you think you hold your drink well, he will triple yr intake! Never challenge him. Many have tried and failed miserably!
Senorita : Jangan marahlah. Like I said, joking only. I m sure you'll do well!
LLT Dude,
Nice of you to point out of my alcoholism! Hold on a minute..just reaching for another doubleScotch! Anyway, when are you ppl. having another thanni session. Remember them fondly..all of them actually. (from the time D.Lg was trying to pluck out a palm tree when he found out Mr.Chinaman was sharing his good pal...to the time Uncle announced that he had no idea of contraception was to the times we had at Uncle's place and me having to drive back in D.Lg's car with him and Suren spewing in the back seet)Good Ol'days i suppose. Thinking of it I don't think we've ever met not drinking! Well, it's no different here!!..bloody pissheads everywhere and doesn't help, me staying right next to 2 pubs!!
uuuii... i'm from Melaka as well..!!
am doing Marketing =)
Senorita : Really? Which part of Melaka and which school are u from?
Mohan : Yeah those were the good old times. We will never be able to relive those times cos some have "so-called" quit drinking. When u coming back? We still have enuf ppl to form the quorum! Who knows, maybe senorita can join us when she is back next time and see god drinking! Haha!
LLT: Sometime i suppose..looking for a job(before i reach retirement age) and trying to write this damn thesis at the moment.. but will be back sometime sooner or later... like I said one of the few joys in life is getting back to kick Mr. Chinaman and probably stick a can of Carlsberg up his arse if he has stopped drinking!!!
Senorita: Marketing huh...tengah belajar nak beli ayam kat pasar kot...hahaha. Just kiddin! Quite sure you'd do well in your course and take the piss of us once you start earning the big bucks!(btw, tutored some Economic/Bussiness students here taking Math. options and most of them are major babes! ...wondering why major babes choose Bussiness/Economics/Marketing sort of subjects!)
Mohan : You are tutoring babes and still no gf? What's wrong w u? There's more to life than just drinking!!!
LLTDude,
Have been banned from fornificating with UGrads... HODept. told me so!..gather he was not getting any action..hahaha!
I'm going to be laughing at you ppl. when I reach 50 and get involved with someone who's 18!!
By gf i hope you meant Guiness and FamousGrouse...did have that today...:-)
Yes, I absolutely meant guinness and famous grouse! Try getting lucky now instead of 50 pls!
