Before the influx of blogger/wordpress/xanga/livejournal, there was www.freeopendiary.com. It was like a small community of avid bloggers and i manage to make and maintain friendship with ONE pathetic friend. (Desmond, are you reading this? -LAUGHS-)
Then came Friendster.
I get friends who will bug me to "add me leh" and "write testi for me!" and this went on for quite a while until Facebook came along.
Friendster's marketing team do realise that they are losing out to Facebook and chose to cleverly market themselves to the Lucky Plaza People.
It became THE networking site for the-ones-who-have-sex-with-Blangadeshi-workers and your 'Testimonial" pages gets virus-bombarded with porno links.
So, this is the Facebook age.
Where we use it to stalk people (!), show care and concern for friends, engage in inane games such as Mob Wars, Restaurant City and Pet Society and can stay up the whole night just to perfect our score.
Where after each phototaking, the first thing we will say is, "Tag me on FB ah!".
Where we can accurately tell you where the Louvre Museum in Paris is located, thanks to Geo Challenge.
With the release of our cumulative GPA results after 3 years of slogging in NP, I finally understood why darling Chengyao is the Golden Grad and my sweetheart Meiting is the Silver Grad and I still remain out of the Dean's List despite my many efforts in stapling a 50dollar note behind each assignment I handed up.
Apparently, the more active you are on Facebook, the lower is your GPA.
Neh neh.
And the person who came up with Facebook is a Harvard grad.
sibei evil.
No wonder the 2 of them are never online and they don't play Pet Society or Geo Challenge.
This also thoroughly explains why my birthday mate Cho Ming Xiu lost his Golden Grad crown to Yao.
Mingxiu is on facebook 24/7 .
