10 Things I Hate About Friendster

I love Friendster, don’t get me wrong. It is a source of communication that I use to keep updated with friends that I meet and seldom meet. Along the line, Friendster evolved into something more than it initially was. It’s a good thing to begin with. I mean, with all the customization in place, you basically get to customize the webpage to your liking. More like a personal website of our own.

Proper usage results in a perfect community of friends communicating with each other. In fact, Friendster is also a tool to expand your friendship network. Somehow or another, Murphy’s law always holds. There are always bound to be idiots out there spoiling the perfect cycle at the least expected time.

Here, I am going to list the top 10 things I hate about Friendster, or rather about people using Friendster:

10) Nicknames not resembling the person

Some people put nicknames and not have a single photo associated with them. Along the line I start forgetting who they are. How am I supposed to recognize you? I don’t have the Death Note OK! I won’t write your name in the notebook even if I know your name OK! Won’t die letting me know your name OK!

9) People having more than an account with full friends list

Now, having friends are fine but when you post “cute” pictures of yourself trying to gain attention, you get a lot of superficial friends. You know, sometimes, you aren’t that cute in real life and it is with all the make up and the desperate attempts that make you look “cute”. You end up with 500 “friends” in your account and 3 quarter of them are deperate people trying to get to know and bed you. Period.

8 ) Guys who add pretty girls, girls who add handsome guys

These idiots, if you noticed, add all the pretty girls and handsome guys to their lists. Call me a sour grape, whatever. Fucking stupid OK! Add all you want, people hide behind names and photos of porn stars claiming those are them. You add them and later discover these pigs are the total opposite of who they are in real life and die of heart attack knowing the truth.

7) People opening a Friendster blog and have it empty for eternity/write crap

You see a lot of people open Friendster blogs because the majority of the crowd is doing so. One month later, you return to the blog and find a fucking empty page staring right back at you. You might also find the one and only post stating this “Hi, I am new here. I want to write a blog…” and they disappear to god knows where.

Then, some people open a blog to torment your soul with “Wah, time past by so fast. It has been a long time since I updated my stupid blog and I am here now to update the fucking blog so that you can read my stupid post and die of boredom right in front of the computer.”

“Today, I went and eat shit. Life is short, I just want to try everything I can. Today I went and meet up with some online pals who gang raped me because I was so stupid to go and meet them up even before knowing their true nature.”

6) Posting pictures of themselves and claim they are fat/ugly

These people post pictures of themselves and go “Wah I am so fat and ugly.” You bet you are, so just take the god damn picture off the site and save me the agony of having to browse through your fugly pictures. Trying to fish for compliments eh? I don’t want to give you the compliment, how? You are fugly, how? Sue me!!!

5) Using CSS to send me down to hell

I have said this and I’ll say it again. Imagine this, blinking stars background, animated pictures all around the website. Annoying sounds playing in the back ground. Green/pink colour background against yellow texts. Someone kill me right now. I think, Hotmail, GMail, Yahoo, Google and Microsoft should also change their websites to these kinda designs. The blinking effects and animations will definitely attract more traffic to their sites NOT!!! So quit it!!! The first thing I do when I see this kinda site is hit the Back button almost immediately.

4) Useless testimonials

Stop sending useless and annoying testimonials. I go to your site to look up your profile and not listen to a stupid bird singing. The bird is annoying OK! Don’t even send meaningless testimonials like “This is a meaningful testimonial. This testimonial is meaningful because it is not meaningless. A lot of people send meaningless testimonials, unlike this meaningful testimonial that is not meaningless.” Damn you, it might be interesting the first few times I read it. It becomes annoying after reading it 100 god damn times. Truth be told, this is the most meaningless testimonial of all meaningless testimonials.

3) Forwarded chain messages

You have been haunted by the spirit of an evil ghost. If you do not forward it in the next 5 minutes, the ghost will haunt you for the next 1 year. Forward this to at least 20 people or bad luck will come your way.

@^&!%@#& KNNCCBTNS, mahai, come la, I don’t and never forward these messages. Come and haunt me, I don’t give a shit, can?!?! Puki you, while I dump and ignore this message, I hope you are the one who is haunted.

I love god, I know you love god. If you love god, forward this to 20 people or else god will not be happy, etc etc…

@!&*#!&*@#&!@#%& You go and fuck yourself. I love god, but god never state in the bible/manuscript that I have to forward this fucking message to 20 people to show my love for him. You don’t come and teach me stupid things like that. I’ll smack you on your head I tell you! Now go and confess all your sins, you are such a disgrace and hopefully god forgives you for what you have done!

2) Arrogant assholes

Ever came across people who put this is their profiles?

“I do not simply add people. If I do not know you, don’t add me. I will delete people who I do not know and I will not entertain any messages from people I don’t know”

I say, SCREW YOU! You don’t have to say it out to the whole wide world. We already know you’re being a bitch for not adding us. We get it, you don’t have to write it out and tell the whole damn world you are so “famous” and egoistic, you do not entertain people you don’t know. You probably might have your own reasons, but still, don’t have to tell it to the whole wide world!

1) FRIENDSTER IS CLOSING DOWN! THAT MOTHERFUCKER ALLEN SMITH IS COMING! RUN RUN!!!

OMG, Friendster is so gonna close down NOT!!! Are you stupid? Friendster is going to close your account? Where did you heard that from? You are willing to take an idiot’s words for it and you are not willing to read through Friendster’s help area to validate it’s a bullshit?

Where is that motherfucking Allen Smith? Certainly not on Friendster! Ask him to come and close my fucking account. This is so widespread I have received it not once, not twice, not even trice but more than 10 times. I tried responding to it and sending it back to my friend. Surprisingly, people forward spams like this but I have yet to see the message I sent, come back to me. What is wrong with you idiots?

One last time, Allen Smith does not exist, Friendster is not closing down and STOP SENDING THE GOD DAMN STUPID MESSAGE!!! Mai chao turtle!!!

The Two Girls Tag

This girl tagged me and wanted me to do it. Sorry for the late post! Then, this girl also wanted to tag me though she didn’t, but I’ll take it that she tagged me as well. OK? No OK? I don’t care…

Now, let me see, where is the tag? Hmm… *searching*

Ahh, here, finally… Before that, this meme (what what what??? meme? meme what? Can someone tell me what it means? I am a stupid fella) was inspired from my meet up with someone. Aiseh, didn’t know I’d get tagged also. Anyway, here goes…

1) Who is the first blogger you meet?

Let me think, thinking hard… My friends counted or not? If yes, I can’t even recall anymore. Genuinely, I think the first blogger I met was Ms Clare the kek si lang Ng. This girl here cannot even survive one day not giving me a hard time with her sarcasms. Wah rao, meeting her 1 day can shorten my life 1 year. Her knife hor, very sharp. You insult her dog, she insults your mother. You insult her mother, she insults your grandmother. You insult her, she insults you and your little brother. Tsk tsk tsk… She claimed herself to be shy and guai. Right, then I am like an innocent angel from the sky! *Runs away and hides in a jungle before she reads this*. Trust me guys, I am in so much deep shit for writing this. You guys can start wishing me condolences. If you guys don’t hear from me for the next 1 week, you know what happened.

2) Who is the ‘Most wanted to meet blogger?’ for you?

Aiya, easy la. All the leng luis come and the leng chais go. Someone slap me, I dream too much. My testosterone is taking over me. Huahahaha… OK OK… seriously, I don’t know. Can ask more meaningful questions or not!?!? I have never thought about this. Come la, whoever wants to meet me come, come, semua mali mali. Don’t care la, I want to meet bloggers who want to meet me most. Hehehe! Lesbians, straight, handsome, ugly, fat, thin… semua mali mali… So long as you don’t molest and rape me, I am fine with it. Muahahahaa…

3) Who is the ‘I can meet, want to meet but somehow never got to meet’ blogger?

Huh? What what what?!?!? I can meet, want to meet, what meet what meet? So many meet can! Dunno la, people I can meet don’t want to meet me. People I can’t meet want to meet me. People I don’t want to meet want to meet me. So that somehow makes us never meet.

You see har, for example:

I can meet Kenny Sia, but he doesn’t wanna meet me.

I want to meet Kuching bloggers but they held the meeting when I am still in KL, so somehow we never got to meet.

I want to meet Alisa and Wei Wei, but I can’t meet them and they also very mian chiang to meet me.

The whole collosal thing is that I want but can’t meet any bloggers. I can but they don’t want to meet me. The conclusion is that, we somehow never got to meet. Confusing enough, yes, I am as confused.

4) Who are the group of bloggers you most wanted to meet?

Har, got group of bloggers want mer? Like that also can? Hmm, no idea on this one. Got leng lui group of bloggers? Got? got? If anyone knows of any, quickly drop me a comment and tell me the venue and time. I’ll not miss the meeting for anything in the world. Then hor, guys can siam far far away when I go for this meeting hor. I like some private and VIP time with this group of bloggers hor? OK enough said.

5) Do you have any bloggers/blog readers that you wish to meet right now?

Honestly, I don’t intentionally go out and meet people. I am an introvert and shy guy la. You don’t believe you go and ask Clare la. Wait, she wrote in her blog somewhere that I am not shy hor? That makes her words untrustable. OK, don’t ask her, take my words for it la hor. Any bloggers or blog readers wanting to meet me, I want to meet you right now. Sincerely, I want to meet you people. I want to meet this girl and this girl. Rumours have it that these girls or was it only her, very the cho lo want. A bit a bit also TNS, KNNCCB, CB. Fuiyo, I got a bit scared le… Intimidated wei, but I sincerely want to meet them, unlike someone, want to meet me hor, but, say until very insincere. Just because I am her only unknown blog reader, she mian chiang mian chiang meet me la. I quote her:

“ok la. i got only one unknown blog reader which is alvin. ok la. meet him la meet him la..“

You see? Very the mian chiang, right? *Runs and hides in the jungle before she reads this as well*

OK OK, it seems I have made a parody out of this. I am sorry, but I just suck when it comes to this. Seriously, these are questions I have never thought of and quite frankly, I have no idea. Nevermind la hor? I know you guys have a good sense of humour. Clare, I hope you don’t get offended hor? Alisa and Wei Wei, don’t get offended as well la hor? I know you girls can take it. hehehe…

Fuuuiyyyoooo, 2am already?!?!? I wanted to post another posting but seeing how “early” it is now, I’ll keep it for another day. Take care guys. Wei Wei and Alisa, don’t say I didn’t give face har… I did it at 1:30am hor?

Life After CNY Celebration

First off, a very Happy Chinese New Year to all readers of my blog. May the year of the golden boar bring lots of good fortune to all of you (me included). Leave me a comment and tell me what you did during CNY. I’d be most glad to read them.

As for me, my family flew over to KL and I did not return to Kuching for celebration. There is a reason to that though. Let’s just say, it has been a tradition for my family to get out of hometown during CNY. I know it’s weird, don’t ask me why but that is just the way we like it. So, I’ll leave it at that.

My CNY this year is subtlely different in the sense that it feels different, the mood is different. Probably because I am working now. Instead of enjoying the new year like I would any other years, I felt obliged to complete a certain tasks before I could have my enjoyment.

Let me tell you students out there, if there is one thing I learned, that would be study hard, enjoy your time while you still can and enjoy your new years while you still can. When you step into the working world, there is no such thing as new year anymore. Everyday feels the same. Even to the last day before celebration, you can’t feel it, not unless you let go of that workload and start celebrating like nobody’s business.

There is no such thing as having a 2 weeks break for CNY. No, time isn’t that flexible anymore. I was once a student and I know how great it felt to be able to get all the flexibility and what’s best was the fact that I get 3 months of summer holidays. Now, I can only dream about a 1 week break, let alone 3 months! Oh well, I guess that’s just life.

As you might have noticed, it’s all text again this time, yes, because I don’t camwhore a lot. Besides, I am all nostalgic now so I can forget about pictures. I just got back not too long ago from the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) sending my family off. I am in a state of mixed emotion now. Not that I cannot live without my family, I can. It is the fact that I just got reunited with them for barely a week and before I even get to sit down and have a proper talk with them, they’re gone.

I have to say, I am extremely glad and happy to be able to be reunited with my family on this occasion and I am definitely glad my parents and I went to Starbucks last night and had a great chat over a cup of Cuppachino. Afterall, this is what Chinese New year is all about, reunion with your family and having a great time. Now that they are gone, I feel time is too short when we are enjoying and it’s always long when we are doing our routines.

Now that my parents are back to Kuching and I have exhausted my 3 days leave, I will be back to work tomorrow morning. As much as I hate to work, I guess it’s just life and I am gonna start being more positive starting tomorrow. I am gonna be an idealist. Being positive is the only way for me to attain a better and happier life.

Anyway, so much for my grumbling. Enough of that already, I am off now and Happy Chinese New Year to you guys again!!!

Gone Into Exile, Doing Some Thinking

Yes, I have gone into exile. No, not from the world but from the world of MSN that is. I just cannot bear being there and not chatting with that someone. Sometimes, I am filled with remorse for not doing something only to later let someone else do it first. Then again, that has been done and over with. This is probably my last post for now until I return to civilization.

As I am writing this, I am thinking and analyzing the very existence of me in this world. I am popping questions to myself every so often. Questions that challenge me intellectually for answers. Until I can think straight and find answers to my questions, I’ll remain in exile.

Anyway, I was chatting with a friend of mine not too long ago and I popped a question to her, asking, “What are your requisites for a guy to become your boyfriend material”. Hell, she gave me one whole list of requirements that made me go O_o. Anyway, I sort of replied each and every question but for the general public, I’ll restructure my answers somewhat. Of course, I’ll also strike out some questions not relevant to the general public.

Anyway, here goes:

1) Must be 175cm(or whatever measurement you prefer) tall

Sorry people, yes it’s ideal for guys to be that tall, but I believe when it comes to really liking a person, you’d be too blind to even notice he is shorter than that. I am personally shorter than that, but not by much. I am still generally taller than most girls anyway, but I don’t give a damn anyway.

2) Must be matured

I notice a lot of girls like matured guys and I acknowledge that. Then again, maturity is a very subjective matter and it depends on the maturity of the girl as well. You don’t and you can’t expect me to treat immature girls with maturity, do you?

3) Drives nice car

Now, I know a lot of girls will beg to differ on this matter but really, in almost every girl, there is always a desire for their hunks to drive nice cars. They might not know jack about cars but in Malaysia, this will always hold true until some miracle happens, Nice car = Loaded. PERIOD!

4) Older than me

This is generally the case but in this 21st century, this older than me thing does not really hold anymore. I can be younger than you by a year or two but really, what does it matter? I mean, we love each other not due to our age, is it? We love each other for who we are.

5) Must be a gentleman

Yes, every girl wants a gentleman. Girls who disagree, don’t talk. Wait till you get one that is not a gentleman and gets bashed up for no apparent reason, then you come and talk to me. Thank you. So am I a gentleman? That depends on what type of girl I am with. If the girl wants me to be “cho” then I’ll be “cho”. If she wants me to be gentle, I can too.

6) Must be crazy about me

Again, this depends on how deep I love a girl. If she is the one, then I’ll be crazy over her. Hell, I’ll even sacrifice for her. Then again, if she isn’t the one, there cannot be any crazy feelings. No one can force it.

7) Accept me for who I am

Yes, I’ll accept my girl for who she is. Afterall, if I wouldn’t, then I wouldn’t have chosen her, to begin with. Then again, to a certain extend, I believe both parties can always change for the better. It’s not about accepting people for who they are, but rather some changes done to make things better, get the drill?

8 ) Love me unconditionally

If I were to love a girl conditionally, then it wouldn’t be true love I suppose. Unconditional love can only be given if the girl can fully understand me and love me unconditionally as well. Unconditional love can only be showered upon a girl who does not conflict with me unnecessarily. Then again, unconditional love is very subjective. Some girls are happy with the love showered upon them and some expects more. The guy might have already showered all his love but the girl finds it not enough and this leads to NOT loving her unconditionally.

9) Can cook very well

They say, the way to a girls heart is through her mouth. I reckon not all girls will need their guys to cook very well. Rather, they prefer guys who would serve and pamper them with meals once in a while. Bad taste isn’t an issue here as the love would make the food taste better than anything a good chef can prepare anyway.

10) Sense of humour

This is like the umpteenth time I have heard this. Almost every single girl I know of emphasizes on this point. I have to agree that this is really important. Humour is always an essence in everything. Without humour, everything just turns wrong and sour. So yes, I do have a good sense of humour, when I am in the mood though, but when I am not, don’t expect me to humour with you 24/7.

11) Good family background

Yes, this is an added bonus. A good family is always something good. You get no additional burden and pressure from family members. I would like to think of my family as quite a good one. I have no comments but you’ll see when you meet them.

12) Not possessive

This is also very subjective. Different girls view possessiveness differently. Guys might come as being possessive to some girls but really, sometimes, the intention is only to check on her security and safety. Of course, to a certain extend, it feels more like insecurity rather than caring. So, I really don’t know if I’ll turn out to be a possessive guy to girls.

13) Non-smoker, non-alchoholic, non-gambler

I have to say, I do smoke occasionally. I am not a hardcore smoker though. I just smoke for the thrill of it. I am willing to not smoke all together, even socially, if that is what it takes for things to work out with me and my girl. READ “smoke occasionally”. So don’t give me comments like, “You smoking bastard.” I control when I smoke and don’t. In fact, I don’t smoke when I mingle with friends who do not smoke. Yes, I can do that! So I am no hardcore smoker.

I am also a social drinker and I drink if there is any occasion that calls for it or due to socializing reasons. I drink but I still know what I am doing. Drinking till you drop is never a good idea. Other than that, I don’t normally drink at home.

I am also a gambler when I go to Genting and come Chinese New Year. Other than that, no gambling, thank you. There is always a limit to everything. So long as you can distinguish the right and the wrong, it shouldn’t be a problem. Of course, I do not gamble away my house, wife and children. I am just not that type of person.

********************

Yeap, that’s the end of it. It’s my turn to list my requirements for girls to be girlfriend material but not in this post. It will be in the near future.

All that being said, Happy Chinese New Year people!! Have a great and prosperous year ahead and may your business or whatever you are doing blossom! Take care people, I am off to exile land again. Bye…

“Britney Spears” Spammed Me?

Lately, I have been receiving comments from “Britney Spears”. Why do I get so many comments from “Britney Spears”. Can fucking stop spamming me or not? As proud I am that “Britney Spears” willingly visited my site, I still have to say, “BRITNEY SPEARS, STOP SPAMMING ME CAN?!?!?!”

P/S: This is “Britney Spears” (note the double quotes) and is in no way associated with the actual Britney Spears.
