That Facebook-Part 1

[Insert song name you've set as your alarm tone]~~~

You wake up and hit the snooze button and begging for that extra 5 minutes in bed. Repeat process and forward to 30 minutes later. Forced yourself out of the bed and thought "I seriously need to change my alarm tone". Switch on the laptop. Connected to Wi-Fi. Homepage - Facebook. Automatically logged in. Ola! 20 notifications. And only 2 comments on a photo/video of you tagged by someone else in which the comment has absolutely nothing to do with you. 5 people has taken your quiz. 3 of them failed miserably and 1 barely passing and your best'est' friend in the universe got just one wrong. As for the rest of the notifications; that Mafia/Mob/Fashion War person in your crew just beat the heck out of you. Mental! Nyeh~ leave it for later lah.

As if application notifications isn't annoying enough, the top right of your Facebook homepage urges you to join a group or install an application. Nyeh, forget that... -Ignore All- *click*

Hmmm.... Highlights...
OMG!!!! Si ANU in a relationship sudah? With who ah? *click* *click*
Alaa~ Not stated with who. -scroll-scroll-scroll-
*click* "like"
*type* "sama siapa ni~~? Congrats!" *comment*

*click* "Home"
-scroll-scroll-scroll-
James Bond aiyaa~ I thought I knew you enough.



Hahaha... "I think I can do better". So you thought. Result time. Uh oh. 20%.

Ummmm... Let's not publish it.
*click* "Skip"

Looks at "What's on your mind?".... Stares at the ceiling for a good solid 5 seconds. What's exciting that has happened in my life since I've put "Watched Fast & Furious and it was totally awesome!!!". That itself generated 5 'likes' and 10 comments of either people agreeing it was awesome or it was lousy and that one "Ai siuk... Napa inda bawa aku??". Nyeh~ You know what... I'll lie.

*type* "Had a dream that tons of cash filled my room"
Hmmm.... Bad Idea... -backspace- *hold*

*type* "off to uni... Ugh"
Wait for it...
Wait...



NO Way! That dreaded red "X" appears on the task bar. You silently curse your laptop and grind your teeth.

-Connected-
*type* "Stupid internet connection"



Its been almost 15 minutes since you logged onto facebook and decided Facebook annoyed you enough for the morning. You close your web browser window, 'shut down' the laptop and then stormed out your room and went on to do your 'thing'.

As you go on with your daily routine, you wonder whether what you posted or who you commented, 'like'd or superpoked might pull someone's attention (maybe someone you fancy)? Or might it make people laugh? Or even make people angry!?

Expections are high. You wonder how many notifications will the red box in the corner of the window will show when you log in next. Who is my friend in a relationship with? Why?

Even as you go through your day, you wonder what you did that day should be on your "What's on your mind" column.

Facebook has that control on your day...
