Something About Something
This is something that i've been wondering for a very long time but I never seem to be able to make any sense out of it BECAUSE, somehow, I don't understand why some people prefer to act that way.
Firstly, when you have someone in your contact (i'm talking about instant messaging here), and when you didn't chat with the person for a very very (and I mean very long) LONG time, you do not expect that person to suddenly chat with you all of a sudden, do you?
And if you agree with me, good. But if you beg to differ, and say,
"Hey! The person can chat with me alright? Come on! We didn't chat for so long because the person didn't bother to chat me up. Is it my fault?"
Ooooookaaaaaaay. You've argued your case, now, why not turn around, and ask yourself
"Why haven't I chat with the person?"
Great. And, let's make a scenario out of this alright? Let's say, you've this HUGE contact list, and 80% of them don't talk to you, and suddenly, ALL OF A SUDDEN, this person whom you haven't talk to online for ages says "HELLO!", you'd obviously be very friendly back and say hello too right?
Now that's still okay. And what if, after the person says "hello", he/she goes on and punch a line that says
"Hey, I was just wondering, do you have a printer/are there any homework for tomorrow?/what did the teacher thought for lecture today?/did you copy the notes that the teacher wrote on the board? (or something like that)"
You'll answer that person alright. And after that, he/she goes on and say "THANK YOU" and puff, disappeared! Even if you continued the conversation, he/she will not reply, and even if he/she replies to you, he'll/she'll take so damn long it's long enough for you to shit 100 times. HOW'S THAT??? Feels great?
OBVIOUSLY NOT!
Let's port this issue to the mobile arena shall we? You have these people's number, they have yours too. But you haven't smsed or talked to them over the phone for AAAAAAAGES! Extremely long. Then all of a sudden, oh my god, you hears that the Great Singapore Sale has been changed! It's gonna be at the end of the year! What do you do?
A) You sms/call people whom you have contacted with all these while/can remember
B) You spam your sms count by smsing everyone in your contact list, be it the person you know or you don't know hoping to attain nirvana
C) You go and think oh so hard for hours, who should i contact and who will benefit by me contacting them and then you slowly contact them.
Which one? I think it's an A right? Seriously, which one?
And speaking of that, it reminds me of two-faced people. I really and wholeheartedly agrees with Ding Lay Chooi and i share the exact same hatred towards these people.
It's one story when you focus on your studies and plays with people when you have the time, but it's another story when you appears one way behind the superior and another way in front of them.
There are many terms used to call them. I'll try to list them all. Know what? I think i better not. I think you guys know exactly what I mean.
Cheers~!

On a totally unrelated topic, have you seen a 5 year-old elephant before? This one is rather special though. It breaks the Guiness World of Record!!!!!
