Stupid PARKERS!

Ok, im going to complain, so if u dun wish to see rantin then shoo!

Actually i wanted to blog tis days ago, nvm, i shall do it today...

I hate PARKERS! Meaning they jus park there in ur icq, msn, friendster, and they never ever will communicate wif u even if both of u r online together... Im only refering to those who since the 1st day added u, and never even attempted any moment to strike a conversation...

Dun get me wrong, its ok for me to not chat sometimes when we r online especially when we r frenz, coz sometimes theres nothing much to tok about... Among all the time me n Shuzhen online in msn, we also had times when we didnt msg each other... Tis is ok... But PARKERS r not tolerable...

Actually i meant tis more to friendster...

Wif the creation of the all-time popular friendster when it 1st started, everyone became obssessed finding n adding frenz n strangers to the frenz list... I admit it was a gd revenue especially to locate some long lost frenz... Especially, those whom u noe during kindergarden or those, when time drifted u guys apart, etc...

I spent quite some effort to locate some ppl whom i lost contact wif, due to the fact tat we dun haf hp then, and ppl kept moving houses, including myself, i had moved 12 times since P1. Communication systems were not so convenient then...

Now, gd thing about frenster is, ppl get to post up lovely pics of them, thus i am able to locate them... However, recently i started wondering, wats more impt?

1) No. of frens in ur list
or
2) Keepin contact wif the onces added in ur list

Naively, i once thot tat, ok great, now frenster makes things more convenient for me to keep in touch wif ppl, or some whom i wasnt very close wif... I didnt haf to worry about their changin of hp/house nos., or change of their emails when i can simply communicate wif them thru frenster messages...

However, in reality, tis is not the case...

Lets not even tok about those who only wanted to screw or date ppl over frenster... Coz its the same every where... I wan to focus on the ppl u once knew...

I started hearing ppl tellin me, or rather "HAO LIAN" to me, how many ppl they haf added to imply the underlying msg of showcasin their popularity... I even haf frens who tell me, ok, my target is to haf 200 ppl in my list...

Wat the ???

I mean come on, its damn easy to haf full 500 ppl in ur acc, u jus need to place a handsome/pretty face, and i gurantee u ur acc will be swarming wif ppl... Or wat they called "FRIENDS" in their list... To make things go faster, all u need is jus to place a couple pics of boobs, or some porn pics copied fr the net...

Once during my exploration, i saw so many porno accs, where the pics of their profiles r either nude pics of themself(mainly phillipinos, indonesians, tis was an observation, not despisin them or anything), or copied porn pics of jap girls... True enough, they all haf more than 300 ppl under their list at least...

I think guys shd be very happy to noe tis... But to me, maybe coz im a female, i feel disgusted...

How many in ur list do u actually noe? R they all ur frenz? Even so, did u even tok to them to find out how they haf been? I bet u dun even noe wat they r doing now if they didnt typed it in their profile... So, wats there to show off???

U mus be wondering wats e fuss of ranting, when tis is so common...

Let me tell u one incident...

Recently, i located someone fr frenster whom we lost contact for many many yrs... Feeling damn excited i sent the person a msg:

Hi XXX,

Im so n so, fr ... (I need to intro e person my old name, coz Celestine doesnt exist in my history, and im not sharing much details to protect the person's interests)

Its been so long liao, how haf u been? U Studyin now?

Anyway, u can add me to tis email, celes_seow@hotmail.com =)

Regards,
Celes


And the reply came,


Oh Hi,

Can u pls add me?

XXX

Ok, giving XXX benefit of the doubt tat XXX didnt see my last 2 lines, i sent back a msg... Note tat XXX was a 3rd degree user, so i cannot add her directly... I replied back...


Hi XXX,

Oh, sorry, i couldnt add u directly due to frenster's restrictions, my email is celes_seow@hotmail.com

In case u cant add me, maybe u wan to send me ur email as well?

How haf u been lately?

regards,
Celes


I had never hear fr XXX again, XXX still didnt add me, or reply... Then one day i added one of XXX's fren whom i happen to noe as well... So XXX became a 2nd degree user n i added her smoothly... If u use frenster, u do noe tat, XXX need to acknowledge me in order to be added...

As expected, XXX did. And now officially, XXX became one under my list... But, still no reply of her returning any conversations...

Sigh... Wat e ???

U mean its more impt to jus place me under ur list then to correspond wif me? Im not tryin to hook her up or wat... Im a female also, if she had felt i had evil intentions, then she wldnt even bother to add me liao wat... Wats so nice about havin one more person pic in ur frens thumbnails when u dun even noe wat the hell shes doing now...

Wats e pt of findin a long lost fren in frenster, when all u do is jus to park there?

I really cannot relate to some ppl, i cannot understand y...

In msn world as well, some ppl added me to their list, and never even tok to me be4... Then in e 1st place, y add me? Do u feel so insecure tat u find satisfisfaction of seeing a great no. of ppl under ur list, thereby, illusionin urself tat u haf many many frens even though they r strangers???

Me on the contrary, like to only see those i noe on my list, therefore, i do list spring cleaning, i will remove those whom i dun even noe who they r... I am open to noe new ppl, however, if u added me and didnt even tok at all, then y shd u waste my web space... Its such an eye sore...

It only goes to show how insincere u r...

I think it was last yr, when i was tellin 2 frens about msn... Fren B is the kind who "Hao Lian" imagined popularity... So i purposely brought tat topic up, immediately, Fren B was blabbering how long B's frens list is in msn... And i told B, "oh ok, recently, i only kept those who r true frenz who r correspondin, and i think now my list haf only 6 ppl, i deleted the rest"...

B exclaimed, "Wat? Only 6?" And then gave me a look n kept quiet... Then i said, "Wats e pt of having e others whom u hardly noe, or those who jus park there? Further more, its not as though i blocked them, if one day they decided to tok to me, they can always msg me again."

Funny thing is, i dun even noe whether B understands wat im trying to say... Coz ppl always turn a deaf ear to things tat will slap them back to reality...

I had been getting more n more strangers emailin me daily... Hmm... Im not interested to relationships now, so if ur intention is to date me out, or shag me, then dun even try... Unless u r capable of intelligent banter, which is so lackin in my life right now, then we'll correspond...

Foreigners, pls! Im not interested to be ur tourguide, if u wan to noe more about sg, i dun mind sharing, i am not meeting u up to be laid however...

Oh also, pls, if u email me, dun jus put "Lets talk" and then end of story... Pls write more, if u r sincere... I delete tis kind of email immediately wifout 2nd thots... Remember, I AM NOT EASILY IMPRESSED, if u cant, then dun even try...
