Whatsapp- Cool instant mobile messenger supported by almost all smartphones. But the uncool part is, not everyone is active on it. Few categories of users as below
The categories:
Type 1. Active and use it as a substitute for sms
Type 2. Installed it, turned it on only when neccesary
Type 3. Installed it, turned it on once and uninstalled it because it consumed too much phone credit
Study case 1:
Planning a steamboat via Whatsapp.
Intiator: Type A user, a new convert from normal sms, having the mindset everyone on the contact list is a Type 1 user.
Responses:
Type 1 user: Responded almost instantaneous, suggesting another communication channel to proceed with the plan
Initiator: Still firm that everyone is Type 1 user
Type 2 user: Responded after 6 hours
Type 3 user: Response not available until further notice
Special Responses:
Impatient Type 1 user: Left the conversation almost immediately after multiple messages.
Conclusion:
1. Whatsapp is still a one to one communication
2. Whatsapp spams like shit in GroupChat
3. Steamboat discussion via Whatsapp GroupChat failed
Hehehehehehe...

The childhood, the darker one
This photo reminds me a lots of my childhood. Always wearing the clothes given by cousin, I was one very complicated person inside. I used to wonder so many What and Why that i never got answered. At this age, i was already a very controlling person. I yelled when i was furious, I spanked my brother and sister when i felt they were too naughty, and i went to the extent of setting numerous rules around the house ie. who does the tidying, who does the wiping and so on.
But the story was different when i was in school.
I was a nobody in school, hanged between the Top Class and Middle Class, mixing with lots Malay friends, having no one to talk with in POL class(mandarin class on Saturday morning). Every day, I envied the chinese from the Top Class and dreamt to be one of them. It was not helping that my best friend was an Eurasian Chinese who got a driver that sends her to school everyday, always created the best art(with the help of her mum and sister of course), and had the coolest birthday party celebration on their back yard of their bungalow. And who I was? I went to school with a van, squeezed between other smelly school boys. Some part of the time, i went to school with a school bus to found out the bus had left before I finished my classes. Sometimes, i had to wait for 2 hours for the ride home. I saw everyone left the school with their cars and bus. And the most dreaded time was when the school bell rang and everyone will need to queue up before the headmaster opened the gate. We were required to queue in pairs, which I hated the most. I never got someone to pair up with. Every day I will need to scout around to find for another unlucky single friend person or risking being caught by the prefect when the queue moved. Sometimes, I purposely slowed down my steps after the class ended hoping the queue had cleared.
Every day, I prayed that father will come to pick me up. I prayed that father will be richer so that I got to buy nicer pencil boxes, bigger box of watercolors and cooler mechanical pencils. My lunchbox was always 2 slice of bread, which was so Meh, I wished I got more pocket money to buy curry mee, nasi lemak, fried chicken, fishballs and softdrinks.
Guess those were the darkest past I had in my childhood, thing just grew better after those years. I managed to get into the Top Class on Standard Six and secondary school time was a happier one

Best friends wedding
My four best friends are married now. All four of them got married on the last quarter of 2010. If two years ago, I protested the I did not want to get married, I change my mind now. I (actually) want to get married too, just because I don't want to be left out. I now know why people got married. It is a process of life. It is about living the life, not doing things alone, to take care of someone or to be taken care of. It is to come home, to share dinners because cooking is a tedious task, and it should be enjoyed together. It is also building a home, with someone whom you can lean on, forever.
Little story of Jessy: We had known each other not too long(to compare to other friends), but for sure we are on the fast lane of friendship as we jumped straight into best friend once we met. We got no time to start from hi-bye friend. A sweet caring girl now turned into the wife and mummy of Baby Ryan. I will never forget how she craves for sushi during her early pregnancy time. My most caring friend, congratulation and best wishes, you found your destiny, you won't know how much of people will envy you.

Little story of Abby: Abby is not the name we called you, because we had known each other much earlier than Abby was born. From someone I truly admire during school time, slowly we became a better friend, to a frequent mid night chatting kaki, to going to university together and even to share a same room; you are the one girl I hope I wish I can become. How could we forget; how we entertain each other by playing cards 'chor dai dee' just to pass our time faster. You got a heart of gold; which i wish I had been a better friend. No matter how different are our thinking; how you dreamy are you or how practical am I, at some points, we agreed with each other. Loving every moment we spent together, I wished we had traveled more together and hanging out more doing things together. Best wishes my friend, happiness will be chasing you around all the time.

Little story of Woei Kuan: My beauty, always beautiful inside and out. There must be a reason we got a same name; just because we can really be great friend. The time that we had spent together is not too long, but you are like a part of my family; although I can't decide who is the elder sister. I can always felt the warmth that you brought, even though I can be damn cold all the time. I don't know why, being with you give me a feeling of closer to home. You can be very sensitive emotionally, but I know you can be real happy over simple things. My beauty, please stay beautiful and cheerful, you are one great lady!
Little story of Latha: Over years, I still prefer calling you Latha. It is the first name I called you. You and fun are inseparable. You are so popular that you got a lot of good friends around you, and I am proud to have you as one of my best friends. I like it how we hide in the library to study together, despite not attending the same class together. I like it that you choosen me to be your assignment or project partner over some many of friends you had; how can I forget how we rush over the assignments and final year project. You 'induced' some much of my laughters, stories that come from you are surely interesting and dramatic. You are definitely able to spread the positive energy around. We talked about true first love and now yours came true. He will be your guardian, giving you supports and love. Take care my friend.
