Look here, when you create an FB account, you should use the name that you were always known by. It really helps when you want to send a request to add someone as a friend. If you wonder why there is no response from me, it’s because I simply don't know who you are and am too shy to ask. Actually it isn't my fault. Yes, people change and they have grown prettier and sexier judging from the FB pics, so that is why I need your real name.
Case scenario:
1. From the name, I don't know who that is. And then you put a pic there that is too small for me to see.
2. From the name, I don't know who that is. And then you put a pic with so many people in it.
3. From the name, I don't know who that is. And then there isn't even a pic of yourself!
Look here, I can’t call myself December Ann Ann, no picture there and expect you to know that it’s me right? Ok, close friends might be able to figure out but not when you are one of the juniors whom I have spoken less than 10 words to in my schooling days.
And there is someone female but with a guy’s name. Tell me if Ian is now a unisex name. Thank God I recognised her pic and can even recall her Chinese name. I actually have a good memory. Once you tell me your ‘original’ name, I would remember you. She was impressed as her own friends of her age couldn’t recognise her. Well, think hard why.
Worse, some names have even changed! There is some English name that I don't recognise. Looking from the pic, I guessed who she is, but she is Chong So-So, not Tan So-So. So it cannot be her. No choice, sent her a message and she replied that she is actually Chong Ah Moi. Now why don't you say you are Chong Ah Moi in the first place instead of calling yourself Fergalicious Chong. And now Fergalicious Chong is now Fergalicious Tan. Confusing right? Now you know. She might have adopted her husband’s surname but I think that isn't a popular practice here, unless she is being absolutely loving. I wouldn’t replace my surname with my husband’s, unless when I am referred to as Mrs .. of course. Even if I am married to Andy Lau, I wouldn’t want to be known as Lau Sue Ann cos it sounds yucky, but my namecard would say something like:

Lee Sue Ann
Wife of Andy Lau
Homemaker, accounts manager and a wonderful mother
(I think I make a good rhyme-r)
If I am wife of Timmy, of couse I won't tayang it like that la. That would be the ultimate hair-raising experience at such show of proudness and affection. But I don't have much respect already for Andy Lau after hearing that he called off the wedding after learning that his gf is not pregnant after all. What a jerk. She waited 24 years for you and still waiting, when and do you ever want to get married? I can't even side with Andy in this. Ok, now I don't wanna say that I am wife of Andy Lau anymore. Bu yao already.
Now, don't think that the above has distracted me. I am still annoyed. Wait until I call myself Angelinajo Lee and then I add you as my friend. See how you would like that.
This shows that I have got my principles and philosophies; I don't simply add any Tom, Dick or Mary for the sake of swelling my number of friends. I like to have ‘quality friends’ :D
And for those who I have ignored your request, you don't understand what is the meaning of 'ignore'? You send another request? I have not spoken to you in my 5 years of secondary school and it is unlikely that I will speak to you now. So I don't see why we should be FB friends.
Damn cocky huh?
Edit: Forgot to add one last annoyance. During Hooi Leng's wedding dinner, this woman asked why didn't I add her. Felt a bit pai seh as well. Later I found out that she is known as Jessie Ch******. HELLO!! I cannot simply search everyone with the surname Ch**** and add them ok? You were never known as Jessie back then. This, I only found out when Yee Leng recommended this friend to me, else I would have the entire Ch**** clan as my friends.
What's with Jessie anyway? There is also 'suddenly' one in the office.
Wait la, I'm going to be Angelinajo soon and ask you in our next gathering why didn't you add me.

Girl, I think I know who you're talking about. Hahahaha!
Oh, by the way, can you tell me the original name of Ian? Because I don't remember her and I cannot recognise her AT ALL.
Oh, and you might as well tell me who Chong So-So aka Tan So-So is too.
Angelinajo Lee. :)
Sorry, I don't mean to bombard your comments section like this, but I just had to stop and comment. I couldn't wait until I finished reading the whole thing.
Anyway, don't believe everything you read in the magazines, or hear on the radio, or watch on the TV. Yes I am talking about Andy Lau. And no I'm not a fan of his.
