this house will regulate activities on facebook

that shld be a motion that the PARLIAMENT shld debate abt.

and what triggered this thought??

i saw some disturbing images on facebook. thanks to the ability to 'tag' people to get their attention and the news feed which practically removes all form of privacy- the world is now exposed to images where some might be extremely disturbing.

well, some might be able to tolerate it, others like me, simply tak tahan weiyh. a few weeks ago, i saw a pic of this girl, who is an epitome of a cute high school japanese girl, u know with the uniform and all. but in this picture, which i'm sure has been photoshop'ed, badan die penuh ngan lubang.

a few days later, i say a similar pic. but this time, a breast with the same lubang2.

and today, some finger yang terpotong. initially, i thought it was a photoshop trick. but after staring at it,(only because i hope that i can find some flaws to convince myself that it is another trick), i realised that it is the real deal. man, i do not want to be in that person's shoes, ever. imagine seeing bits and pieces of ur fingers dangling. EEEEWWWWWWWWWWW

i mean, think abt it people. once, when society saw handphones as a necessity instead of a luxury, there were rules and regulations governing the usage of mobile phones.

it shld be the same for facebook right?? i mean, people from all walks of life has a facebook accnt nowadays. in every smartphones, there is an application for facebook. small businesses use facebook as a medium to advertise their products. once, indie bands used myspace to promote their music but they are now 'tweeting' and 'facebooking' too.

even my uni is using facebook as a medium to connect with the students. from the std hall of residence and society groups up to the hopper bus group.

so i believe that i have proven my point. facebook is arguable an important part of our everyday like. since activities related to it does effect the masses, why shldnt there be a proper act to regulate its usage.

and my 'law' ramblings stop here...

well, at least for now.


cheers =)

di ma?

today, i had my first skype session with my extended family!!!!

there were a few new faces as mom found some relatives from Indonesia. so this June, mom and I are going to pay them a visit.

That means I have to brush up on my minang. this morning, our conversation was limited to simple sentences like 'di ma siko?' which means where are you know and 'aa kaba?' which translates to how are you. once they started asking more complex sentences, i had to rely on mom to translate em for me =P. sorry mom, lame tak dengar orang cakap minang. kecek kelate lain la, selalu dengar cuz kelantanese are everywhere. lols

I am looking forward to meet them again in june/july. which also means i will be discovering a new place every month.

my travel trail: prague-london-leicester-warwick-london-scotland-dublin-cardiff-malaysia-indonesia =)

and i bet a trip to kelantan and sarawak will join the trail soon

cheers~
