Semua orang ada Facebook.
Kan?
Well, maybe not everyone. But mostly, right?
I had 1 too. =) I registered Facebook in 2006. Yup. It was waaay back when everyone is still actively using Friendster & Myspace. Masa tu, Facebook was still overshadowed by those two. Sangat tak popular. Semua orang pun sebok nak guna Myspace.
I was a Myspace addict too. Sebab dulu Facebook tak sehebat sekarang. Dulu mana ada flash games application yang berlambak macam tu. They use to have only super poke. Boleh baling baling kambing at your friends. Fun kan? Haha!
See? Super poke saje pun dah fun. Sekarang ni bertambah lagi dengan extra best flash games like Restaurant City, Cafe World, Mafia Wars and the most annoying flash game, Farmville. Siapa yang nak kata Facebook ni tak best? Even my mum addicted to Facebook. She plays Farmville by the way. Actively!
When I first started facebook, my friendlist was only as many as 20 people. And I know only 85% of them. The rest was some random people yang suka suka add. Macam dalam Myspace. Aku tak kenal kau, but you look cool, so I add you up. Sebab aku nak challenge kawan aku punya friendlist. Biar sampai 500. Yes! Its a fuck up popularity contest sebenarnya.
So I was a myspace-r. The thought of accepting random people on the net is all natural to me. As I thought that it wont harm my life nor my fake online world. Oh how was I wrong! I got a call from a random number one day, pick it up. I remember that it was an indian guy and guess where he got my number from? Yup! Facebook. I was stupid back then to actually put up my number on the site.
Ingat isi profile site tu macam isi borang gamen. Siap letak alamat rumah bagai. Nasib baik takde box untuk isi nombor surat beranak. Kalau tak, dengan itu pun aku isi. Bodoh! 2x Waktu tu kan sangat cetek ilmu IT. Apa2 pun main redah belukar. Suka hati.
So the first thing I did after that was, erase every private info that I put up on my Facebook site. And I did. Unfortunately, those creepy annoying stalking creature didn't stop harassing my friend request button. Which lead me to de-activate my account soon after that. I was Facebook free for almost half a year.
A few months later, friends keep asking me about Facebook. Do I have one? What is my email address as they wanna add me up. And I kept telling the same old stalking story over and over again just to explain why I didn't have a Facebook account. But no. They wouldn't wanna listen to that story. They just wanna me to re-activate my account so that they can throw piggies at me. Yeah! During that time, Super poke rules! Haha!
And so I did. I re-active my Facebook. I was surprise with the changes it made. And was very impressed with the improvement of it. Everything about it feels very sophisticated. Everything looks better. Even way waaay better than Friendster & Myspace (that I still hold on to up till now).
I got addicted with the games application, the status update and even their photo book layout. And tagging pictures sometimes can be fun. Even its annoying most of the time. Lagi2 kalau tag 100 orang manusia and everyone pun comment. Tak pasal2 excited about 100 notification yang sebenarnya tak ada kene mengena.
Lagi bertambah annoying bila every family/relatives/sepupu sepapat/atuk nenek owns an account and demand you to accept their friend request. Bila dah accept, kita terpaksa pulak jaga tata susila beradap dalam Facebook semata2 nak jaga hati. Walhal, tak hingin pun nak add those people at the first place.
Lagi nak tambah tambah kan annoying bila segala kawan main & guna application yang sama. 10 application request is fine. Even 20 is still fine. But what if you have 300 friends, and every each of them send you a request per day? You'll get 300 request in a day. But what if those 300 friends of yours send 2 request per day? Calculate lah sendiri. Math aku fail.
(^o^)
So I did it again. I de-activated my Facebook account for the 2nd time sometimes last year. I was annoyed. Really annoyed. That I don't care anymore about my high score in every flash game I'd join. I don't care my determination to conquer no.1 spot on Cafe World & Restaurant City anymore. I'm just annoyed.
and angry.
So I quit.
I quit Facebook-ing.
But that was yesterday. =) Now, I am officially back on Facebook. Why? After all this annoyances. Why???
BECAUSE I MISS RESTAURANT CITY! MAFIA WARS! CAFE WORLD! AND I WANNA PLAY FARMVILLE AGAIN!
Okay? Alasan terbaik? Tima Kaseh.
Saya nak main Facebook sekarang. Bai~
