About online chat - 2


Whew, weekend was fun! Growing to love Manhattan (the cocktail) ! Although the bit I enjoy the most is the cherry lol.

Now about my continued bitching of online chat:

Some people are definitely having problems associating words with their intended meanings. Ie. If your information line states "please have a photo before you send me an instant message", then 7/10 people who send you messages have a photo in their profile. I mean online chatting is already as "vague" as it is, why would I waste my time to talk to someone when I hardly know ANYTHING about them, no profile information, no photos of themselves?

Fine, if you'd say I'm shallow by judging a book by its cover because I only want to talk to people who have photos (and maybe appeals to me one way or another), but we all make judgments based on our perception to a certain extent isn't it? Well let's take it to the next level, I'm visiting relatives in another country next month, so I've been looking in the local chatroom to see if there's anyone interesting, in my bio line, I've written "In town Feb 09", simple enough? In the duration of typing this paragraph, I had 2 messages that had this line as the second or third line into the conversation "are you in (name of city)?" WTF???? Yes I am! Also I put up that bio line trying to mess up your time-space perception centre of your brain! Again, why would I want to waste my time with someone who's not even bothered to read one fricken line??????

Wooo, feels good to bitch! Who said bitching and moaning won't get you anywhere? lol

Until next time, take care!

About online chat - 1

Whew, economic downturn is certainly taking its toll on businesses!

Well, on a totally unrelated topic, online chatting. I've been browsing in the chatrooms of a very popular website. I think most of us would have seen that pic where it explains the real meanings behind some online chat contents. (If someone still have access to that pic, send to me!) However I just want to have my turn of bitching about it too :)

I guess the most obvious and interesting and also funny thing is what people put down under "Build/Body Shape". Apparently the term "average" applies to visible protruding belly fat and even man-boobs, if that's the case, I should be termed "famine", so much for feeling guilty about describing myself as "slim". If we look into "athletic" and "Muscled", apparently things mentioned above can also fit into these categories and seems like muscle and fat are interchangeable words, no wonder I didn't get high distinction for my histology subjects.......

Sleepy, will update t0morrow
