Interesting how the Internet makes friends + Silly Pick-up Lines

Today, I came across a new friend that sent me a gentle Facebook Request to add as a Friend because she stumbled across my blog while looking for the lyrics to "Stand". Hope all of you remember that lovely song from July last year. Anyway, she was nice enough to compliment by saying it's an interesting blog that I have. Well, thank you very much to Lim Sue Yen for the sweet compliment. We're officially "Friends" now. =)

Ok, I meant to say that. Having thoughts about my blog led me to change the theme back to the old one as I felt it's much neater and sightful. I used to share fun articles but I'm running out of time (due to work, mind you) and also creative content to share. Anyway, tonight, I have a bit of time to kill while waiting for some other work to be done. Thought I'll just share something I just read.

Speaking of making friends online, The Star Newspaper had this to report:



Woman’s reputation smeared by Facebook friend
KUALA LUMPUR: A woman was shocked when she learned a mutual friend on Facebook had uploaded photographs of her on the social network site and accused her of spending all his money and then dumping him.
The man, who called himself Kelvin Tan, claimed that the woman Bong Xiew Mei, 22, of Kajang made him exceed his credit card limit, forcing him to be in debt with loan sharks.
Bong showed a print screen shot of Kelvin’s note which also claimed that they dated and had a sexual relationship, and that she dumped him after she had exhausted his money.
Victimised: Bong showing a picture of Kelvin to Chong at Wisma MCA.
“I don’t even know this guy. I have never met him in real life. I don’t understand why he had to post nasty and false things about me,” she said, adding that she thought he was a friend she met on one of Facebook’s game applications when she accepted his friend request last month.
“This incident has affected my life horribly,” the student said at a press conference at the Public Services and Complaints Department at MCA headquarters here yesterday.
She said Kelvin first posted her photograph on Sunday night and had since then uploaded four more.
Her boyfriend, Hung Yun Joo, 25, said about 200 people were tagged on each of the photographs.
“The guy added our family members and a lot of our close friends and tagged them on the photographs,” he said, adding that he and Bong had closed their Facebook accounts.
Hung, a businessman, said that they suspected the culprit was a close acquaintance as Kelvin had published Bong’s bank account number in one of his posts.
“He seems to know a lot of her personal information,” he said.
Bong lodged a police report at Batu 9 police station in Kajang on Monday.
Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong said he had received 17 similar cases in the past two years where the victims were discredited on the Internet.

Weird huh? How some people can react this way. Don't worry, Sue Yen, I know you won't stalk me and do such things. Alright, I was just kidding about that.
Meanwhile, in Singapore, a woman was crushed to death because another woman was committing suicide. So, *SPLAT*, the poor fella ended up at the wrong place at the wrong time. Here's what it's all about:


Resident crushed by falling neighbour at apartment
A woman died in a freak accident in Singapore when she was crushed by her neighbour who fell from the building they were both living in, reported Sin Chew Daily.
Lau Fong Kien, 55, was crushed by Ng Sock Luan. The incident happened at a block of Bishan St 13 in Singapore on Monday.
Lau was a breast cancer survivor while Ng had been suffering from depression for two months and was on medication.
Lau’s sister Fong Chu said the victim was on her way back from her medical check-up at a Chinese medical centre.
“Normally, she (Fong Kien) would go back home before 10.30am with takeaway food for our mother.
“However, due to the huge crowd at the medical centre, Fong Kien was delayed. If she had been early or late by a minute, she would not have been at that spot at that time,” she said.
Ng’s husband Ting Thiam Ho said his wife attempted suicide twice but her condition had improved after she was twice admitted to the hospital for treatments.
“She had stopped talking about committing suicide. I do not understand why this happened,” he said.
In entertainment news, there's some other development. Chinese pop diva Faye Wong made a comeback with a series of concerts last year, the Universal Music Group is willing to offer her RM5mil to release a new album. At least that's what the Chinese dailies claim la.
China Press quoted a source from Universal Music as saying that based on Faye’s Asian pop queen status, each song would cost up to HK$1mil (about RM500,000).
Well, according to the Record Label, a new album that consists of 10 songs would cost Universal Music, Faye’s former recording firm, about HK$10mil (about RM5mil). WOW... banyak tu! Oh well, power of the "voice". That's why I still like her song "Red Bean" :P~
When the daily contacted Universal Music senior vice-president Duncan Wong Kim-to, he said the firm had interest in signing on Faye.
So, I do hope when I have kids, they should pick up Music like my passion. I would really wish that they are musically gifted and has the talent to also write music and produce them too. Even if they are not doing it at a professional level, I will always be glad that they can have a beautiful voice to sing or play musical instruments or even make magically allure to tunes.
Ok, time for some laughters with Pick-up lines I came across. Mind you, it's really for the adults. Here's the Just For Laughs segment for today:
And finally, the finale that can make you laugh till you drop on the floor and roll around bursting in laughters and tears. (Psst: I actually did that and when Michelle Hew asked what was wrong with me, I couldn't even stop laughing as I tried to read it to her.)

Check out the dumbest of them all...
And of course, credits goes out to... "Only In Malaysia" hehehehe =D
