Chapter 8: Post CNY Stimulus

Chapter 8: The Chinese New Year holidays has finally come to an end and everyone is suffering from the Sunday blues especially for this one-Sunday; where the nightmare for every corporate Tom, Dick and Harry will be suffering from an endless blow of emails from their clients, bosses, and even Facebook Notifier.

Most definitely everyone will leave their Facebook active in their browser while working on their usual tasks for the day; unless if the company bans the site due to foolish reasons that the management came out with. A white page filled the entire screen with words so big even my grandmother can read it without her spectacles on ‘SITE BANNED – PORNOGRAPHY’ Such ludicrous excuse that is so ridiculously implemented.– in order to receive the latest updates on their friend’s status which plays the role as a ‘Sharing-The-Dread’ Session (“STD” Session).  

Then comes in hundreds of pictures being tagged by other friends who have all the fucking time in the world to upload the pictures right after lunch – On that particular time, the brain cells of other Facebook users will stimulate and their attention span increases by 35%.

The 35% stimulus exerts due to the phenomenon of users who uploads pictures shot during the past festivity thus tagging it in their album without one’s consent and anticipation. Situations such as facial expressions that are not ready before shots were taken, blurry shots or awfully painful to look will cause other users to disengage a natural human reaction called critics or comments.

Once a critic has been posted on a particular photo, hence comes in the next stage of human reaction – which is retaliation or reply-comment. “Damn girl, you look fatter after the Chinese New Year! Am sure you had so much fun with the lavish FNB eh?...lol” “Really? Look at yourself! I don’t think the camera like you very much… Maybe next time, you should be the one snapping the pictures instead!...hahaha” and do you realise that each criticizing comments will end up with an element of laughter such as hehe, haha, or lol? Well, reason for that is to balance up the weight of the critic so that it may not sound too rude. 

Happy Facebooking.
