i am sure we have received many chain mails before.. some are so lame that after reading just a sentence or two, i would straight away delete them.. some are nice and meaningful and inspiring that i read from head to toe, and i would do a mass-forward to friends (though i know some may not care).. but there are times that these mails turned me off when i am about to click the forward button, imagine such beautiful message being ended with things like "forward this to X people and you can..." and "if you do not forward this to X people you will..."!! if i ever read these, i will do nothing but delete the email even if i had the intention to forward it earlier.. my point is, if your work is good then fret not no one likes it, but if your work is lame then blame not no one cares about it, agree??
you'll find me mean if you read on, but then..
BTW i realized there are some "XXX Award" thing circulating in the blogsphere, where you are given a plain image and need to answer a few questions and finally tag X number of other bloggers.. i do not know who started it, but sorry to say that, no thank you, please do not include me at all.. if you wanna give me any award, then please give me something physical like what i have been giving out to my readers.. yes, i hate circulating and am that realistic, hahaha!! :p
aiyoh, without the Spamming Queen today, this blog seems to be so quiet lah.. see, only 30 over comments for the whole day!! or probably because this topic today is boring hor??
Princess ribbon is back to work today. Yesterday was on leave. The hubs was away, so I took leave to send the kid to kindy (what else), did house chores, cook and all..
You know, being at home is more draining than going to work.. I am sure most mummies will agree with me.. When you are at home, you tend to do more, like vacumn, mop, cook and all..
But when you are working, by the time you go home already evening, so half the day gone, and only left a few hours to go before bedtime, so you do less.. Mummies sekalian, I think you will agree..
Wah, I 1 day no komen but already 92 comments when I come here now..
SK, who says without me your blog will be quiet? 92 comments and you said your blog is quiet? Biar betul you nie..
Ok, back to the main topic, later say I lari topic pulak.. I know point #1 (who doesn’t?), but seriously, I don’t really know much about point #2.. Call me jakun (yes, SK says my name will slowly turn into princess jakun liao becoz I don’t know what is XOXO or xD)..
I have never been tagged in a blog-tag before, but I (think) I have seen it when I am stalking other blogs.. Other bloggers tag you, and gives you questions to answer.. You have to write and answer those questions, then sort of “pass the ball” and tag other bloggers to let them continue the thingy, ngam mou? Honestly, hou sien ger wor.. If that day nothing to blog about, then maybe will layan a bit la.. But if that day bz at work or like me, on leave, then sorry lor, no time layan..
Since everyone here talking about “if you don’t send this to xx people by xx date, then something bad will happen to you” issue, let me be outstanding and story you about something else pulak..
I don’t know if it’s a chain mail, but from the forwarded mail, there are already many recipients’ names on top, so I guess they keep on forwarding kua..
They send pictures and story about a kid, who needs help, health problems or what, ala, biasa la.. Then they will write about her story, her personal details, how she got this health problem, what-nots.. Then at the end of the mail, they write: Please help to forward this mail. For every mail forwarded, she will get RM1, something like that..
Ok, call me jakun again. How on earth she gets RM1 from every mail forwarded?
I belif most of you have seen this.. They story you about someone who needs help, bla bla bla, yada yada yada.. Then at the end of the story, they say: Please forward and “like” this picture. For every “likes” he will get $1 funded. Again, how on earth he gets $1 for every “likes” leh?
Til today I am still wondering all these mail & FB thingy betul ke tak..
Even whatsapp is doing this also la.. Don’t know who started it..
I have received a few times in my whatsapp saying that whatsapp will be demolished soon.. You need to forward the message to as many people in your contacts so that whatsapp would not demolish your account coz if you forward to many people, the developer will know you are still active and have many contacts, thus you will continue using whatsapp, something like that..
Honestly if you are developer of whatsapp, would you announce this to your users?
Eh please, without whatsapp, we won’t die also la.. Got so many chat apps la nowadays.. we have ChatOn, Kakao, WeChat, Line..
Seriously, when I received this chained messages from my friend, I so geram la.. I was thinking takkan my friend so dumb believe it and really send out the message to all her friends in her contact list?
Not only emails have this kinda forwarding thingy.. Chained mails and what-nots.. Even chat apps also follow this trend already.. “If you don’t forward this message to all your contacts, your chat account will be suspended”..
Walao-weyyy, puh-leese.. Most of the time, I geram my friend or the person who forwards this message to me.. Not so much on the person who started this or created this “spam”..
You see, takkan you are so naïve belif that if you don’t send to all your contacts, your account will be suspended? Kan?
Sorry, today I only yak about chained mails and chained chat apps messages.. Not so much to yak on blogger tags, coz I have never received one, and never did once before..
So sorry ahh, that one tarak tau komen, so I tak komen, nanti bikin malu, keke..
Actually this “bikin malu” word I learn from Meow.. I have seen her write a few times using this word, so I just follow la.. Meow, if you are reading, pinjam you copyright sentence ahh, hehe.. “bikin malu”.. I was thinking, why don’t she write “nanti malu lor if komen so much”, instead she wrote “bikin malu if write so much……”, so I also follow la using bikin word..
Some of those in FB are truly based on true story, they do gain the donated money from public......it appeared on the news about how they get to receive all the kindness from all around the world!!!
That developer really think who he's lo, he kept on saying he wanted to make what's app as paid apps, then the reporter started to make comparison between what's app, LINE or we chat!!! Most people prefer we chat and line as they can send very cute cute emoticon, right?
Some stories in FB is real.. But now semakin banyak this kinda case, hmm, sometimes, relaly dunno which is fake or real.. Haiz..
Eh, I don’t know about you, but my whatsapp hor, they have been renewing from year to year for me, keke.. Everytime, when it’s near to expiry date, they will send message say renew half more year for me.. Then after the expiry date, have to pay liao..
Cheh, I “mei keng guo” (tak pernah takut).. If no whatsapp ahh, I still got WeChat & Kakao..
Agree with you, Line very cute one, lots of cute stuff.. Even the Line Camera apps.. I download it also.. Then I can edit my picture and add cute stampers on it..
what you talking about? like vacumn, mop,? err...me wait got people come baru rajin vacumn and mop. LOL.
You never been blig tag before ah? I go blog tag you la LOL Can get more backlinks to my blog. Muhahahaha... Used to be a way to get more backlinks la. Only important for those who does paid post for overseas co. They wanna see the PR ranking. Malaysian advertiser tarak kisah one.
Those RM1 or whatever punya is fake la . Same like the FB likes.
ahem ahem...just heard on the radio this morning...FB buying over whatsapp leh
Xiao Ying, I using S3 lor.. But whether or not Samsung or Apple, I heard the message was forwarded to most people wor, as long as they have whatsapp account.. Hmm, weird.. Only Apple people kena?
My mistake I think I confuse either one already, coz I heard the news quite long time ago, at the beginning he also said want to make it to become paid apps but now no more news again...
wah, faint!!! this Princess Ribbon really nenek moyang kebayan lah, look at her comments, i think her comments is 4 times longer than my post itself, hahaha!! fuyoh, really nobody can beat her lah when it comes to long comments.. surely she will be the Spamming Queen again this month!!
so the topic here is those donations for the number of likes?? errrr, email may be difficult to track lah, because if you say they donate $1 for every email you forward then i don't really believe that lor.. but for those $1 for every like, this may be real thing.. because can see really see how many likes mah (though we may not know whether all the likes are authentic lah).. and i think if these things originate from renown organizations then it won't be fake one lah.. anyway, just click like only mah, actually won't irritate any friends lah (unlike forwarding chain mails to them).. so i really don't mind that simple finger action also be it real or fake lah..
and the whatsapp thing, haha.. aiyah, i don't care whether they are going to charge because when i got my phone i bought it at $0.99 already lor, so none of my business also.. and $0.99 only mah, why make such a big fuss?? nowadays can't even buy you lunch lah $0.99~~
i think phone ones usually quite nice one lah, what i got are usually nice greetings.. but those emails one can be really bad especially like those "if you don't forward to X people within the next XX hours, you will..."
hahaha, those "XXX Award" thing, sorry lah, no thank you.. i have not played any before, haha~~
Morning!!! Morning!!! Not only chain email, I remember during my secondary school I did receive some letter like if your don't copy this same letter to 10 of your friends then you'll get into trouble or die after 10 days...something like that...don't know about others, but I was very scared that time and I asked my sis, she told me no need to bother la...then only I let it be!!! Since I'm still alive now, so prove that it's just somebody is too free that has nothing to do, wanted to make something up to scare people!!! =.=!!!
Yea me receive those too. Feel very uneasy. But I never bothered to copy. Waste my stamps la. That time not much money. Better save for other things la. At the same time cursing the sender lol..
I think if I send out thosr chsin main, I will die faster lo from being curse by those who receive the chain mail
oh ya, i remember that.. last time not yet have email mah, so i received those letters before.. must photocopy and send out to friends, and i think i did that before, because i was scared mah, better not take the risk.. but now think back, really nonsense lor, haha!!
Meow, those normal sob sob stories asking for donations or "likes" in FB still ok. Imagine those mail forwarded to you, asking you to stare at the image and look for some stuffs, then the good luck will come to you if you managed to locate the stuff (like a star, or a diamond, etc)..
Then when you are concentrating to locate the star or diamond (coz feel obligated ma to look for it, else bad luck will come to you), then tiba tiba a horrible ugly freaking ghost face appeared and scared the HELL out of you! And the ghost was screaming and making scary noises..
yalah, really feel like finding out who is the moron who started all those craps lor.. i think maybe they will be earning bad karma for their life to create problems to others..
hahaha, and those suddenly a scary image pops up when you are reading or staring at something, KNS lah really!! same thing lor, really very nonsense and "LOW B"~~
This type of Award tagging post, I will entertain when I have nothing to blog, kekekeke! But then, this seldom happen to me, because I have too many things to blog, just that I don't have the time to blog. Muahahah!
SK's thought is inspiring. I agree with you, SK. Don't need to remind people to forward the chain letter, if the it is good to share, we will share it automatically. Same goes to those meme and tag post. I ignore may tag posts previously too, only attended to a few when I had nothing to blog.
Good point you sharing here again, SK. Just like in FB wall, I will share those quotes and I am inspired. No one asking me to repost it in my FB wall, i feel like it, I will share with friends. By the way, I love those CNY greetings that you forwarded to me.
Post more la yannie (not tag or awards) but if your kids and baking.
In beginning I entertain la coz takut offend nlogger friends who tagged me. But I found other also don't like to be tagged. So I put it optional. Those who wish to play along the tag is welcome.
But at one time there was too many tags. All similar punya. I start to ignore.
Then I saw one overseas blog say her blog is tag free zone. I also put that in my comment greeting.
haha, i actually have no interest at all in those awards lah, to me it's like purely to increase backlinks only, like ada ikan di sebalik batu if somebody sends you an award.. nothing to blog about, then go gorek your photos folder for some food photos and start to make stories lah, hahaha~~
yeah, very true Yannie.. if something is good, we will automatically share them and do not need to be "forced" to do that right?? i think this is something like you earn your respect but nobody will give it to you.. :)
errr, award and tag free zone ah?? do i consider myself having mentioned this with this post?? haha~~
Meow, I will blog about April, May, Jin Jin and myself in my blog. I have no restriction when comes to blogging. I am not fully parenting blog, I am also not blogging solely about food and baking, I am actually using free style in blogging. Anything I feel like sharing, I just share. I think like that better, not so boring ma!
yeah, just blog what you feel like at that moment.. sometimes being able to read a more variety of topics is way more fun than reading the same under one specific theme.. but of course, it's your blog and you have your choice to do what you like.. :)
I like this one, I also prefer different topics rather than remain on the same theme, but sometimes not everyone agree with that, coz they just interested on the topic and once your change to other topic, they'll be like shouldn't you post something like this in other social media but not this one......but I wanted to say its my personal social media, as long as I didn't put a specified title to ensure this particular subject then I'm totally fine to post anything, right?
yeah, some people like varieties and some people like standard themes, so really depends on individuals lah.. if you like then read on, if you don't like then please leave lah.. it's that simple, there are millions of blogs in this world, surely you will find one that you like.. :)
haha, i think we all also blur blur last time when we started blogging lah.. but good lah, the more we blog the more we learn from each other :)
hahaha, you seen that before HS?? i have not actually, because i guess probably when i read "if you do not forward... then..." i would have already deleted that email, haha!! you are right, the world needs more good vibes, come on folks, let's make this world more beautiful!!
yalor, i actually find that very nonsense lah, why want to "force" people to forward?? it's something so optional and so subjective and so voluntary wat..
About the tags, I used to do them in my earlier years of blogging.. very mar farn.. have to answer questions and then forward to X people to keep it going.. hahaha.. anyway, if really tak han moe yeh choe, then only do la.. but I doubt nowadays got time to do all these tags.. anyway, I think now no more "heng"... or maybe people just ignore already..
and also answering those questions may not be easy, furthermore sometimes those questions may be a little nonsense too, haha!! ooopsss, sorry if i have offended anyone but this is what i think.. yalor, i think no more "heng" already, but i still see some people proudly posted those awards on their blog.. i was like, hmmmm~~~
well, we can't comment on others. They do what they like. It's their blogs and it's solely their. We just hop by to leave comments and connect with each other.
of course i always put this in mind.. sometimes i bad-mouth about others, and i also expect others to bad-mouth me.. anyway, it's a free platform and everyone just do what they like, but having said that, sometimes i do think there is a limit and we shall also consider about others too.. :)
oh, I usually won't bother about it. If it's a meaningful one, I will forward to some of my friends but without the last sentence. I wouldn't like my friends to feel obligated.
yeah, if i do feel like forwarding, i will make sure i remove those "forward instructions", not nice to make others feel obligated like you said, as we ourselves do not like that too :)
Totally agree with u. And dome sender simply send punya. They don't even know my religion n simply hentam.
Say if don't send will hv bad thing happening la. Or if send to xx ppl will get xx blessing n d more send out the more blessing. I would say blessing my foot. I will b cursing those ppl
i agree with that, religion to me is the same for all regardless of which clan you are, religion has only got one purpose - to guide followers to be good themselves and be good to any others.. it's most despicable to utilize religion to create chaos and conflicts..
So these chain emails are indeed nonsense and nuisance since a long time ago. Some were interesting and could make you laugh! I remember there was one that attached HE Dalai Lama's preaching and the recipients were expected to forward to over 10 others in order to receive good blessings. My poor naive and gullible friends all sent to ME!!! I was flabbergasted with delight! I trashed them all away lah.
yalah, joke is okay and i don't mind sharing and be shared, but if it's something that is creating conflicts and problems, then they are nonsense already!! straight away delete them and empty the trash bin, flush them down the jamban forever..
those chain mails are so irritating. And just like what u mentioned, forward to x ppl and your life will be....... and if u don't, your life will be......... Ahh....nonsense !
but some of my friends does believe and they still forward over to me! haha.... those were the days la...... and usually after reading the 1st few lines, i will still delete them away.
i don't delete all of them lah, good ones i may keep but bad ones surely delete and empty the recycle bin straight away, haha!! i mean no need all those "forward instructions" lor, make no sense what.. if we really want to forward we will, if we don't then we must not be obliged to do that..
I also received those Tag Awards from bloggers who simply sent awards and expected us to share the nonsense awards to TAG other bloggers! OMG! Those retarded did send to me or dropped me comments to hop over their blogs to SEE MY NAME and do the necessary lah! Oh sorry, I was retarded and trashed them away too!
Hey peeps, wake up! Don't believe in all those nonsense which also circulated in USA! Maybe it originated from there! I remembered some gullible bloggers squealed in delight and expressed their profound heartfelt thanks to the senders. Then he/she placed the graphics at their side bar.. Adoi!!! Anay pengsan......wakes up & pengsan again!
I was one of those dumb dumb la. Initially got take those awards coz paiseh. Takut if don't do will offen blogger friends coz usually thr ones that tag me r the one who visit my blog ma.
Then someone told me that those blinking thingy may hv virus or something. I chicken lo. Deleted all n also make into tag freezone. Tak mau accept award. Too many. And many is insincere one. Some simply hentam alphabetical order. Kena my name
muahahahaha!! Twilight Man cracks me up, so what brave fruit have you swallowed today that made you commented in such criticism?? but then i like that, it says something that i wanted to say but cannot write that so explicitly in my post dei, hahaha!!
i think i was tagged a couple of times, and i will just comment that i will do that if i have got the time, but i never posted any of those awards image on my sidebar.. errr, as i said, give me real thing lah, image can see cannot touch, haha!! :D
errr, i will still try to read to see if they are interesting or not lah.. if good ones i will read on and keep.. if nonsense then surely delete straight away..
Last time I used to be afraid what will happen if I don't forward the letters or emails, but now I don't care anymore. And it's been proven that nothing will happen to you if you don't forward them anyway.
yeah, when i was a kid, and there was still no emails back then, i received those letters.. i was so scared and i quickly photocopy the required number of copies and sent them all out to friends, haha!! but think back, aiyoh, so silly lah~~
Oh those XXX Award thing I used to tag people too hahaha!! But no more. It's a way to get more links to your blog but I think this way of getting backlinks are no longer effective.
I remember that. When I first started blogging, I was amazed to receive awards. It's interesting no doubt about it. But it has become bored and we don't do it anymore.
hahaha, receiving XXX Awards mean you are popular and liked lah.. so it's a good thing.. but i think now not popular anymore and nobody cares to do that anymore already??
Al-kisah zaman muda dahulu, kita banyak main ber-penpal. During the time I also have received many chain letter. Each time receive sure feel uneasy and heart kns the sender. But I tarak go and photostate n send out as instructed
aiyoh, how come suddenly throw me one complete sentence in Malay, luckily i still can understand, haha!! last time kids that time, no email yet, i also received those letters before.. i was scared and quickly go photocopy and sent to friends.. hahaha!! think back, it was so silly, but i want to curse the one who created and started all these!! :D
I find that chain email sometimes can be very interesting. Some contains joke and nice inspirational words of wisdom. Those I will send out BUT I delete off the part where they ask me to forward to 10-15 or how many friends ls
yeah, that's why i said, some are actually nice and inspiring and interesting.. those i really read and digest, and also forward to some close friends.. and i will make sure the version i sent out will contain no "forward instruction", haha~~
Last time (super long time ago) I used to forward those nice and inspiration email among my friends and my sister, as they always like to send me those too and surprisingly no one found that's annoying but don't know why everyone stop forwarding gradually!!!
Actually I like those mails duh, because it has something like "the world largest water indoor theme park" then the content is full of attractive pictures of it, or something like world tallest building seven world wonder!!! Those all come with good pictures that's why I like it la!!! But something like news of accident and showing scary bloody body or broke arm or broke leg then that one I'll give a pass!!! Same as those saying in somewhere in china they use rubber band to make the squid fried ring, okay!!! Which makes me not dare to eat squid fried ring for years!!! =[
haha, now you said that and i also realized that it seems we are getting less and less of those chain mails already huh?? oh, i kind of miss those days when i received a lot of nice chain mails with a lot of beautiful pictures.. i think people don't do that now through emails, but probably through likes and share in facebook already..
You noticed the greeting in my comment box? I said no tag and award zone . Lol. Yea..me lc la but after doing 2-3 tag in my early days, I feel lazy jor. Even in fb now got new "tag". Someone will write something silly like I am moving to timbuktu. If we comments in that thread then we kena trapped and will be asked to put something silly in our fb status. Then trapnothers. I kena few times. Each time I just laugh it off and never bother to do it.
yeah, i saw that.. like very "bar bai" like that declining all tagging and awards, haha!! but good to make things clear also lah, sometimes have to be a little "harsh" lor.. oh, i kena once before lah that FB thing, i just ignore lor, what a nonsense!!!
I find that the chain email /whatapps that says "if you don't fwd to xx ppl you will.." very offensive. Yea I know the sender is scared of the repercussions but then if they are my friend why in this world would they wanna pass this bad karma to me? Why wana me to be unhappy? Is this the way of real friend?
Some may say aiya...I saja send ma...up to u to believe or not la. If u don't believe then delete lo...but I am think why the heck send in the first plc?
Recent I also received whatapps msg ask me fwd to 10 ppl to ensure my whatapps will continue working. Adoi....vomit blood
Another was say ask alert coz xxx country AIDS patients pakat to go donate blood to infect others ppl. And another is say mozzie bite can transmit AIDS.
Never check ka before forward.
Saw one friend kena KNS in FB for simply sharing animal cruelty case. Whn in actual fact the case was settled many years ago and was not as claim in the article.
yalah, those people very KNS sometimes, never bother to think before they act.. and i also do not understand the motive of the creator who started all these things?? so free got nothing to do ah?? go and sweep and mop the floor of the whole house to kill the time lah, hahahaha!! but then cannot let them use METHOD, because they will clean the house too quickly and come back to create nonsense again~~ :D
The what's app one is pretty annoying, my eldest sister always curious about it and forward to all the siblings to ask, especially the one said what's app gonna terminate or become paid apps something like that....(wonder all these people really have nothing to do duh?)
Also that's one time my brother in law send something to all of us,is a link like saying he's currently using this app and ask you to join it ask well, then my sister blur blur don't know and click on the link, who knows it's virus....it sent to everyone in her contact list...and she wasn't noticed at that moment until her friend call her to let her know then she only knows that's virus!!!
hmmm, i remember that Whatsapp thing, actually i received that but before i forward to friends, i actually search online for its authenticity, only to realise that was just a hoax lor.. hmmm, and those ask you to join some links thing, actually when it's sent to us, it really sounded like your friend personally sent to you, so easily fell into the trap one lor.. haiz, that means your BIL kena virus lah.. so better to use iPhone because i heard no people bother to make virus for Apple products, haha!!
yeah, i do agree with you, but i would say not all lah, most of them are very irritating.. so if i ever want to forward, i try not to make them read like chain mails.. haha!! :D
I will normally ignore such chain mails if i received them especially those that state if you don't xxxxx you will xxxx i find it threatening and i don't believe such things
Same here, I will just delete them without even proceed to read them in details. These days I seldom receive such chain mails in my mailbox, but on and off I see my friends post similar photos/articles in FB, also saying something 'forward if you want good luck etc...'. Sorry la but I find it funny and ridiculous lo! Once I actually wonder, well so if I really forward the mail/photo, but no good luck happens to me, who shall I report to ar? LOL!
ah, you are right!! i think nowadays seldom use emails as the channel already but mostly through sharing and likes on facebook!! hahaha, but then errr, if on facebook, got such thing as "forward and you will XXXX" meh??
and a good question from you!! hahaha.. can you guarantee good luck if i forward?? if not then where to complain?? :D
Hmm chain mails, no matter good or bad, sorry to say that I hate them! But one thing I realise, last few years, there were indeed a lot chain mails I received in my mailbox. But of the recent 1-2 years, the number of chain mails got lessen! I don't know why but it's sure a good thing for me. Back then, I remember I needed to delete them every single day in order to keep my mailbox 'nice' and 'neat'! So troublesome and leceh leh! Now, no need to do those jobs already, what a breeze!! =)
Actually I also don't know who started the chain mail thingy, but to me it sounds very irrational! I mean, really by forwarding the mail then good things will happen to me already? Or if I really don't forward, something bad will happen? (Touchwood la!) Come on, common sense, and think rationally, how on earth is that is possible right? Good or bad things, I believe God already have the plans. Forwarding or not is not gonna effect anything in our lives la!
I think people who started it just do it for fun, or sometimes, scare people. Imagine, when it says 'bad thing will happen if you don't forward', we will sure got frightened and worried, so many will sure forward the mails, then the cycle goes on and on. 其实只是个心理游戏罢了，就看看个人怎样去衡量咯！But if you can think rationally, you'll know it's not possible ;)
Oh ya, the award comes tag thingy, erm actually I did that a few times before. Now that you mentioned, it makes me feel a bit silly doing that :( I mean I know it's just a 'virtual award' which anyone can get easily, but when I got tagged with such awards, I din't think so much but to blog about it if I could. First is to show my appreciation to that particular blogger for 'nominating' me (cause I believe it means that blogger remembers me), second is to just share whatever infor/details to my readers, and third, to add a post to my archive (especially if I got nothing special to blog about that time) ;))
But of course, I don't usually tag my readers at the end of the award post, because I know there're people who think like you :p So sometimes I think I kinda violate the award rules cause usually they want you to tag a certain number of people ma! :p Even if I tag, I will not make it a compulsory rule for my readers, I will state clear it's just a 'award', blog or not, it's totally up to you, at least give people a choice and freedom ma!
p/s: I think I have tagged you in certain award before? Sorry ar, I din't know you hate being tagged that time xD
Anyway, ok la, I will remember what you say, if wanna give you an award, better give you something physical, something which you can touch, haha xD But all I want to say is, don't feel irritated by those tagging la! Like I said, if that person tagged and nominated you, it means somehow he/she remembers you as a friend. At least drop by his/her blog to say thank you, and tell politely that you don't do tags so you'll probably skip the post. Afterall, it's totally up to you whether to blog about it or not. You can choose to not blog about it, but you cannot stop/block people from nominating you ma! :p
Anyway, I think after reading this post, all your readers will remember already and won't give you xxx award next time xD
yalor, you mentioned that and i also realized.. really don't get those chain mails in the mailbox lately already.. all gone to sharing and likes on facebook already lah.. actually i miss those days when i receive a lot of nice chain mails especially those with photos.. at least with photos nicer to read on, unlike those long-winded pure words emails, i surely no patience to read on one.. haha!!
yalah, so not making sense right?? and just like you said, if i don't forward then really bad luck will hit me?? or if i forward, and no good luck comes to me then whom shall i complain to?? come to think of it, really just a psychological game lah, i always hate that and do not like to be obligated in those so-called "forward instructions" lah.. straight away will trash them, and immediately empty the recycle bin.. don't pollute my always neat and tidy mailbox, haha!!
haha, no lah, i won't feel irritated if somebody tagged me in those "XXX Award" thing lah.. in fact i will just entertain to say thank you to show my appreciation but then i will always have to find time to do that lah.. errr, i am being very hypocrite lah when it comes to this thing, sorry ah if i ever ignored your requests earlier, haha!! but then i think you also understand lah, you yourself also not really want those things, but just to show appreciation to the sender mah.. anyway, glad that this thing is like not "heng" anymore right?? hmmm, peace of mind~~ :D
Hahahahhahaha XXX award! Gawd that so reminds me of those days when I was a new blogger. Saw so many of those going around! I don't think I did forward it to anyone though...
haha, last time when i was new also nobody sent me those "awards" leh, that means you have been and are still very popular and liked by many lah.. it's a good thing mah, hahaha!! :D
Chain letters. Trash 'em!
ReplyDeletewell, there are always good and bad ones.. good ones i will keep but bad ones surely trash them..

Me oso no masuk opis. Spamming now fr mcd. Tmw faster comments. Tdy topic manyak ngum. About chain mail. Sure everyone gets a lot
Deleteaiyoh, without the Spamming Queen today, this blog seems to be so quiet lah.. see, only 30 over comments for the whole day!! or probably because this topic today is boring hor??
DeleteI can see that. LouizYee and Small Kucing don't have the time today. Well, they will be back soon..
Deleteyeah, the Princess Ribbon was on leave today and she doesn't want to poke her phone to comment.. let's see her tomorrow.. :)
DeleteHello everyone. Ladies & gentlemen. Boys & girls.
DeletePrincess ribbon is back to work today. Yesterday was on leave. The hubs was away, so I took leave to send the kid to kindy (what else), did house chores, cook and all..
You know, being at home is more draining than going to work.. I am sure most mummies will agree with me.. When you are at home, you tend to do more, like vacumn, mop, cook and all..
But when you are working, by the time you go home already evening, so half the day gone, and only left a few hours to go before bedtime, so you do less.. Mummies sekalian, I think you will agree..
Wah, I 1 day no komen but already 92 comments when I come here now..
DeleteSK, who says without me your blog will be quiet? 92 comments and you said your blog is quiet? Biar betul you nie..
Ok, back to the main topic, later say I lari topic pulak.. I know point #1 (who doesn’t?), but seriously, I don’t really know much about point #2.. Call me jakun (yes, SK says my name will slowly turn into princess jakun liao becoz I don’t know what is XOXO or xD)..
I have never been tagged in a blog-tag before, but I (think) I have seen it when I am stalking other blogs.. Other bloggers tag you, and gives you questions to answer.. You have to write and answer those questions, then sort of “pass the ball” and tag other bloggers to let them continue the thingy, ngam mou? Honestly, hou sien ger wor.. If that day nothing to blog about, then maybe will layan a bit la.. But if that day bz at work or like me, on leave, then sorry lor, no time layan..
Since everyone here talking about “if you don’t send this to xx people by xx date, then something bad will happen to you” issue, let me be outstanding and story you about something else pulak..
DeleteI don’t know if it’s a chain mail, but from the forwarded mail, there are already many recipients’ names on top, so I guess they keep on forwarding kua..
They send pictures and story about a kid, who needs help, health problems or what, ala, biasa la.. Then they will write about her story, her personal details, how she got this health problem, what-nots.. Then at the end of the mail, they write: Please help to forward this mail. For every mail forwarded, she will get RM1, something like that..
Ok, call me jakun again. How on earth she gets RM1 from every mail forwarded?
After email, got FB pulak..
DeleteI belif most of you have seen this.. They story you about someone who needs help, bla bla bla, yada yada yada.. Then at the end of the story, they say: Please forward and “like” this picture. For every “likes” he will get $1 funded. Again, how on earth he gets $1 for every “likes” leh?
Til today I am still wondering all these mail & FB thingy betul ke tak..
Even whatsapp is doing this also la.. Don’t know who started it..
DeleteI have received a few times in my whatsapp saying that whatsapp will be demolished soon.. You need to forward the message to as many people in your contacts so that whatsapp would not demolish your account coz if you forward to many people, the developer will know you are still active and have many contacts, thus you will continue using whatsapp, something like that..
That is pure stupidity.. Can’t accept..
Honestly if you are developer of whatsapp, would you announce this to your users?
DeleteEh please, without whatsapp, we won’t die also la.. Got so many chat apps la nowadays.. we have ChatOn, Kakao, WeChat, Line..
Seriously, when I received this chained messages from my friend, I so geram la.. I was thinking takkan my friend so dumb believe it and really send out the message to all her friends in her contact list?
So you see, world of technology so canggih liao..
DeleteNot only emails have this kinda forwarding thingy.. Chained mails and what-nots.. Even chat apps also follow this trend already.. “If you don’t forward this message to all your contacts, your chat account will be suspended”..
Walao-weyyy, puh-leese.. Most of the time, I geram my friend or the person who forwards this message to me.. Not so much on the person who started this or created this “spam”..
You see, takkan you are so naïve belif that if you don’t send to all your contacts, your account will be suspended? Kan?
Sorry, today I only yak about chained mails and chained chat apps messages.. Not so much to yak on blogger tags, coz I have never received one, and never did once before..
DeleteSo sorry ahh, that one tarak tau komen, so I tak komen, nanti bikin malu, keke..
Actually this “bikin malu” word I learn from Meow.. I have seen her write a few times using this word, so I just follow la.. Meow, if you are reading, pinjam you copyright sentence ahh, hehe.. “bikin malu”.. I was thinking, why don’t she write “nanti malu lor if komen so much”, instead she wrote “bikin malu if write so much……”, so I also follow la using bikin word..
Actually what is bikin?
Some of those in FB are truly based on true story, they do gain the donated money from public......it appeared on the news about how they get to receive all the kindness from all around the world!!!
DeleteThat developer really think who he's lo, he kept on saying he wanted to make what's app as paid apps, then the reporter started to make comparison between what's app, LINE or we chat!!! Most people prefer we chat and line as they can send very cute cute emoticon, right?
Some stories in FB is real.. But now semakin banyak this kinda case, hmm, sometimes, relaly dunno which is fake or real.. Haiz..
DeleteEh, I don’t know about you, but my whatsapp hor, they have been renewing from year to year for me, keke.. Everytime, when it’s near to expiry date, they will send message say renew half more year for me.. Then after the expiry date, have to pay liao..
Cheh, I “mei keng guo” (tak pernah takut).. If no whatsapp ahh, I still got WeChat & Kakao..
Agree with you, Line very cute one, lots of cute stuff.. Even the Line Camera apps.. I download it also.. Then I can edit my picture and add cute stampers on it..
*scrol scroll scroll. * claws tired liao :p
Deletewhat you talking about? like vacumn, mop,? err...me wait got people come baru rajin vacumn and mop. LOL.
You never been blig tag before ah? I go blog tag you la LOL Can get more backlinks to my blog. Muhahahaha... Used to be a way to get more backlinks la. Only important for those who does paid post for overseas co. They wanna see the PR ranking. Malaysian advertiser tarak kisah one.
Those RM1 or whatever punya is fake la . Same like the FB likes.
ahem ahem...just heard on the radio this morning...FB buying over whatsapp leh
About the what's app, what phone are you using btw??? It happens to apple product!!! (As I got this info from the news)
DeleteI also never kena tag before, so can't comment about it, hehe!!!
Xiao Ying, I using S3 lor.. But whether or not Samsung or Apple, I heard the message was forwarded to most people wor, as long as they have whatsapp account.. Hmm, weird.. Only Apple people kena?
DeleteMy mistake I think I confuse either one already, coz I heard the news quite long time ago, at the beginning he also said want to make it to become paid apps but now no more news again...
Deletewah, faint!!! this Princess Ribbon really nenek moyang kebayan lah, look at her comments, i think her comments is 4 times longer than my post itself, hahaha!! fuyoh, really nobody can beat her lah when it comes to long comments.. surely she will be the Spamming Queen again this month!!
Deleteso the topic here is those donations for the number of likes?? errrr, email may be difficult to track lah, because if you say they donate $1 for every email you forward then i don't really believe that lor.. but for those $1 for every like, this may be real thing.. because can see really see how many likes mah (though we may not know whether all the likes are authentic lah).. and i think if these things originate from renown organizations then it won't be fake one lah.. anyway, just click like only mah, actually won't irritate any friends lah (unlike forwarding chain mails to them).. so i really don't mind that simple finger action also be it real or fake lah..
and the whatsapp thing, haha.. aiyah, i don't care whether they are going to charge because when i got my phone i bought it at $0.99 already lor, so none of my business also.. and $0.99 only mah, why make such a big fuss?? nowadays can't even buy you lunch lah $0.99~~
Good morning SK and everyone...
ReplyDeleteIf i receive chain from hp, i just ignore them, but if i receive those greeting image which i find meaningful and nice, i will forward them...
DeleteStarting, i will still play with the tag in blog, but slowly sianzzzz liao, no thank you already, hahaha....
DeleteSame here la. But if get it in the phone if funny I will fwd la.
DeleteYea me too lazy to play tag. Now my blog is no tag zone. Lol...dont tag me ah lol.
i think phone ones usually quite nice one lah, what i got are usually nice greetings.. but those emails one can be really bad especially like those "if you don't forward to X people within the next XX hours, you will..."
Deletehahaha, those "XXX Award" thing, sorry lah, no thank you.. i have not played any before, haha~~
yea, it's not nice to tag anyone. Unless it's something unusual and you want to appreciate others.
Deleteand i actually know a lot of people also do not like to be tagged, it feels irritating to them, whether on blog or on facebook..
DeleteMorning!!! Morning!!! Not only chain email, I remember during my secondary school I did receive some letter like if your don't copy this same letter to 10 of your friends then you'll get into trouble or die after 10 days...something like that...don't know about others, but I was very scared that time and I asked my sis, she told me no need to bother la...then only I let it be!!! Since I'm still alive now, so prove that it's just somebody is too free that has nothing to do, wanted to make something up to scare people!!! =.=!!!
ReplyDeleteYea me receive those too. Feel very uneasy. But I never bothered to copy. Waste my stamps la. That time not much money. Better save for other things la. At the same time cursing the sender lol..
DeleteI think if I send out thosr chsin main, I will die faster lo from being curse by those who receive the chain mail
oh ya, i remember that.. last time not yet have email mah, so i received those letters before.. must photocopy and send out to friends, and i think i did that before, because i was scared mah, better not take the risk.. but now think back, really nonsense lor, haha!!
Deletewe were being tricked to do so last time. Such nonsense!
Deletehahaha, yes!! i think i was in primary school and i got so worries and quickly took action~~ :D
DeleteActually the letter I received is from my classmate, don't know why I don't take to letter and go ask her what's this all about!!! @.@!!!
Deletemakes me wonder who started these chain letters in the beginning. Those are really kinda creepy leh. Some more got quote religion
DeleteMeow, those normal sob sob stories asking for donations or "likes" in FB still ok. Imagine those mail forwarded to you, asking you to stare at the image and look for some stuffs, then the good luck will come to you if you managed to locate the stuff (like a star, or a diamond, etc)..
DeleteThen when you are concentrating to locate the star or diamond (coz feel obligated ma to look for it, else bad luck will come to you), then tiba tiba a horrible ugly freaking ghost face appeared and scared the HELL out of you! And the ghost was screaming and making scary noises..
Gawd, I hate that !!
I know that, I kena that before, I hate it so much, that's why I don't simply click on any video!!! =.=!!!
Deleteyalah, really feel like finding out who is the moron who started all those craps lor.. i think maybe they will be earning bad karma for their life to create problems to others..
Deletehahaha, and those suddenly a scary image pops up when you are reading or staring at something, KNS lah really!! same thing lor, really very nonsense and "LOW B"~~
This type of Award tagging post, I will entertain when I have nothing to blog, kekekeke! But then, this seldom happen to me, because I have too many things to blog, just that I don't have the time to blog. Muahahah!
ReplyDeleteSK's thought is inspiring. I agree with you, SK. Don't need to remind people to forward the chain letter, if the it is good to share, we will share it automatically. Same goes to those meme and tag post. I ignore may tag posts previously too, only attended to a few when I had nothing to blog.
DeleteGood point you sharing here again, SK. Just like in FB wall, I will share those quotes and I am inspired. No one asking me to repost it in my FB wall, i feel like it, I will share with friends.
DeleteBy the way, I love those CNY greetings that you forwarded to me.
Happy Wednesday every one.
Post more la yannie (not tag or awards) but if your kids and baking.
DeleteIn beginning I entertain la coz takut offend nlogger friends who tagged me. But I found other also don't like to be tagged. So I put it optional. Those who wish to play along the tag is welcome.
But at one time there was too many tags. All similar punya. I start to ignore.
Then I saw one overseas blog say her blog is tag free zone. I also put that in my comment greeting.
haha, i actually have no interest at all in those awards lah, to me it's like purely to increase backlinks only, like ada ikan di sebalik batu if somebody sends you an award.. nothing to blog about, then go gorek your photos folder for some food photos and start to make stories lah, hahaha~~
Deleteyeah, very true Yannie.. if something is good, we will automatically share them and do not need to be "forced" to do that right?? i think this is something like you earn your respect but nobody will give it to you.. :)
errr, award and tag free zone ah?? do i consider myself having mentioned this with this post?? haha~~
well, it's up to us whether to follow or not. Last time, I usually did but not anymore. Just be ourselves!
Deleteyeah, very true.. if we do not like that, we must not also do that to our friends.. agree??
DeleteMeow, I will blog about April, May, Jin Jin and myself in my blog. I have no restriction when comes to blogging. I am not fully parenting blog, I am also not blogging solely about food and baking, I am actually using free style in blogging. Anything I feel like sharing, I just share. I think like that better, not so boring ma!
Deleteyeah, just blog what you feel like at that moment.. sometimes being able to read a more variety of topics is way more fun than reading the same under one specific theme.. but of course, it's your blog and you have your choice to do what you like.. :)
DeleteI like this one, I also prefer different topics rather than remain on the same theme, but sometimes not everyone agree with that, coz they just interested on the topic and once your change to other topic, they'll be like shouldn't you post something like this in other social media but not this one......but I wanted to say its my personal social media, as long as I didn't put a specified title to ensure this particular subject then I'm totally fine to post anything, right?
DeleteThat time me newbie mah. Dunno what is backlinks pun. So bodoh bodoh do lor coz dun wanna offend blogger friend mah.
Deleteyeah, some people like varieties and some people like standard themes, so really depends on individuals lah.. if you like then read on, if you don't like then please leave lah.. it's that simple, there are millions of blogs in this world, surely you will find one that you like.. :)
Deletehaha, i think we all also blur blur last time when we started blogging lah.. but good lah, the more we blog the more we learn from each other :)
But this I like, 'Of course nothing bad will happen if you do not forward' at the end of the message. The world needs more good vibes, I say.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day!
hahaha, you seen that before HS?? i have not actually, because i guess probably when i read "if you do not forward... then..." i would have already deleted that email, haha!! you are right, the world needs more good vibes, come on folks, let's make this world more beautiful!!
Deletetrue, we need more good vibes!
Deleteyes yes!! this world is already full of bad news sometimes, we need more good vibes to make life happier..
DeleteYes, like you, I delete those emails that need to forward to 10 ppl or so.. I do not want to live in fear for them...
ReplyDeleteyalor, i actually find that very nonsense lah, why want to "force" people to forward?? it's something so optional and so subjective and so voluntary wat..
DeleteAbout the tags, I used to do them in my earlier years of blogging.. very mar farn.. have to answer questions and then forward to X people to keep it going.. hahaha.. anyway, if really tak han moe yeh choe, then only do la.. but I doubt nowadays got time to do all these tags.. anyway, I think now no more "heng"... or maybe people just ignore already..
ReplyDeleteand also answering those questions may not be easy, furthermore sometimes those questions may be a little nonsense too, haha!! ooopsss, sorry if i have offended anyone but this is what i think.. yalor, i think no more "heng" already, but i still see some people proudly posted those awards on their blog.. i was like, hmmmm~~~
Deletewell, we can't comment on others. They do what they like. It's their blogs and it's solely their. We just hop by to leave comments and connect with each other.
Deleteof course i always put this in mind.. sometimes i bad-mouth about others, and i also expect others to bad-mouth me.. anyway, it's a free platform and everyone just do what they like, but having said that, sometimes i do think there is a limit and we shall also consider about others too.. :)
Deleteit's good to be in good terms with everyone unless someone is really irritating.
Deletewell, if someone is really irritating, we may also still be in good terms with them too.. it has to depend on situations :)
Deleteyes, very true. It all depends on the situation.
Deleteabsolutely agree with that.. there is never anything absolute, haha!! :)
Deleteoh, I usually won't bother about it. If it's a meaningful one, I will forward to some of my friends but without the last sentence. I wouldn't like my friends to feel obligated.
ReplyDeleteyeah, if i do feel like forwarding, i will make sure i remove those "forward instructions", not nice to make others feel obligated like you said, as we ourselves do not like that too :)
Deletewe think alike..:)
Deletebecause great people think alike, haha!!! :)
DeleteI hate those chain ones that use religion to put guilt for people to send these kind of spam.
ReplyDeleteYes, sharing is good and whatever. But it is so downright wrong to make people do and having them feel like they are caring enough if they don't. :(
Totally agree with u. And dome sender simply send punya. They don't even know my religion n simply hentam.
DeleteSay if don't send will hv bad thing happening la. Or if send to xx ppl will get xx blessing n d more send out the more blessing. I would say blessing my foot. I will b cursing those ppl
i agree with that, religion to me is the same for all regardless of which clan you are, religion has only got one purpose - to guide followers to be good themselves and be good to any others.. it's most despicable to utilize religion to create chaos and conflicts..
DeleteI never ever bother. Don't care what.
ReplyDeleteyalah, we know you always very sombong one mah, hahahaha :D
DeleteHello Everyone! Good Afternoon Bloggers!
ReplyDeleteSo these chain emails are indeed nonsense and nuisance since a long time ago. Some were interesting and could make you laugh! I remember there was one that attached HE Dalai Lama's preaching and the recipients were expected to forward to over 10 others in order to receive good blessings. My poor naive and gullible friends all sent to ME!!! I was flabbergasted with delight! I trashed them all away lah.
If joke thrn ok la. But don't la tarik religion into it. And worrse still say if don't forward then will hv bad thing happening
Deleteyalah, joke is okay and i don't mind sharing and be shared, but if it's something that is creating conflicts and problems, then they are nonsense already!! straight away delete them and empty the trash bin, flush them down the jamban forever..
Deletehaha...we can shake hand in this matter. I don't like those chain mails too and will usually delete them
ReplyDeletethose chain mails are so irritating. And just like what u mentioned, forward to x ppl and your life will be....... and if u don't, your life will be......... Ahh....nonsense !
Deletebut some of my friends does believe and they still forward over to me! haha.... those were the days la...... and usually after reading the 1st few lines, i will still delete them away.
Deletei don't delete all of them lah, good ones i may keep but bad ones surely delete and empty the recycle bin straight away, haha!! i mean no need all those "forward instructions" lor, make no sense what.. if we really want to forward we will, if we don't then we must not be obliged to do that..
DeleteI also received those Tag Awards from bloggers who simply sent awards and expected us to share the nonsense awards to TAG other bloggers! OMG! Those retarded did send to me or dropped me comments to hop over their blogs to SEE MY NAME and do the necessary lah! Oh sorry, I was retarded and trashed them away too!
ReplyDeleteHey peeps, wake up! Don't believe in all those nonsense which also circulated in USA! Maybe it originated from there! I remembered some gullible bloggers squealed in delight and expressed their profound heartfelt thanks to the senders. Then he/she placed the graphics at their side bar.. Adoi!!! Anay pengsan......wakes up & pengsan again!
I was one of those dumb dumb la. Initially got take those awards coz paiseh. Takut if don't do will offen blogger friends coz usually thr ones that tag me r the one who visit my blog ma.
DeleteThen someone told me that those blinking thingy may hv virus or something. I chicken lo. Deleted all n also make into tag freezone. Tak mau accept award. Too many. And many is insincere one. Some simply hentam alphabetical order. Kena my name
muahahahaha!! Twilight Man cracks me up, so what brave fruit have you swallowed today that made you commented in such criticism?? but then i like that, it says something that i wanted to say but cannot write that so explicitly in my post dei, hahaha!!
Deletei think i was tagged a couple of times, and i will just comment that i will do that if i have got the time, but i never posted any of those awards image on my sidebar.. errr, as i said, give me real thing lah, image can see cannot touch, haha!! :D
those were the days. It's not effective anymore. Real award would be fun!
Deleteyeah, i think the trend now in the blogsphere is to exchange gift?? hmmmm, who started that??!! haha~~
DeleteI'm tired of chain letters and chain emails. I just delete them!
ReplyDeleteerrr, i will still try to read to see if they are interesting or not lah.. if good ones i will read on and keep.. if nonsense then surely delete straight away..
DeleteLast time I used to be afraid what will happen if I don't forward the letters or emails, but now I don't care anymore. And it's been proven that nothing will happen to you if you don't forward them anyway.
ReplyDeleteyeah, when i was a kid, and there was still no emails back then, i received those letters.. i was so scared and i quickly photocopy the required number of copies and sent them all out to friends, haha!! but think back, aiyoh, so silly lah~~
DeleteOh those XXX Award thing I used to tag people too hahaha!! But no more. It's a way to get more links to your blog but I think this way of getting backlinks are no longer effective.
ReplyDeleteI remember that. When I first started blogging, I was amazed to receive awards. It's interesting no doubt about it. But it has become bored and we don't do it anymore.
Deletehahaha, receiving XXX Awards mean you are popular and liked lah.. so it's a good thing.. but i think now not popular anymore and nobody cares to do that anymore already??
Deletenot necessary popular. It's a tactic to be made known to the others. We did that before and indeed it helped.
Deletehmmm, i have actually received a couple only and ignored them, so i do not really know what's behind the thing.. :)
DeleteGood evening everyone. Me spamming from mcd. Too hot at home. Internet line died again.
ReplyDeleteYeah me too receive msny chain letter n email.
yalor, so hot at home, i am sweating while replying comments also.. baru shower, haven't put on clothes already sweat again :(
DeleteYep, it's so hot recently, I also kept on sweating after shower, don't know when is the rain god came over!!! =[
Deleteit actually rained for the past two days in the late afternoon in KL, but just very light and brief showers only lah, maybe man-made rain kot??
DeleteAl-kisah zaman muda dahulu, kita banyak main ber-penpal. During the time I also have received many chain letter. Each time receive sure feel uneasy and heart kns the sender. But I tarak go and photostate n send out as instructed
ReplyDeleteaiyoh, how come suddenly throw me one complete sentence in Malay, luckily i still can understand, haha!! last time kids that time, no email yet, i also received those letters before.. i was scared and quickly go photocopy and sent to friends.. hahaha!! think back, it was so silly, but i want to curse the one who created and started all these!! :D
DeleteI find that chain email sometimes can be very interesting. Some contains joke and nice inspirational words of wisdom. Those I will send out BUT I delete off the part where they ask me to forward to 10-15 or how many friends ls
ReplyDeleteme too..It's best to do this way.
Deleteyeah, that's why i said, some are actually nice and inspiring and interesting.. those i really read and digest, and also forward to some close friends.. and i will make sure the version i sent out will contain no "forward instruction", haha~~
Deletehope that the next time we receive any chain letters, it doesn't contain those forward instruction anymore.
Deletebut hard to guarantee that because there are still a lot of morons in this world trying to do stupid and meaningless nonsense.. sigh!!
DeleteLast time (super long time ago) I used to forward those nice and inspiration email among my friends and my sister, as they always like to send me those too and surprisingly no one found that's annoying but don't know why everyone stop forwarding gradually!!!
DeleteActually I like those mails duh, because it has something like "the world largest water indoor theme park" then the content is full of attractive pictures of it, or something like world tallest building seven world wonder!!! Those all come with good pictures that's why I like it la!!! But something like news of accident and showing scary bloody body or broke arm or broke leg then that one I'll give a pass!!! Same as those saying in somewhere in china they use rubber band to make the squid fried ring, okay!!! Which makes me not dare to eat squid fried ring for years!!! =[
haha, now you said that and i also realized that it seems we are getting less and less of those chain mails already huh?? oh, i kind of miss those days when i received a lot of nice chain mails with a lot of beautiful pictures.. i think people don't do that now through emails, but probably through likes and share in facebook already..
DeleteYou noticed the greeting in my comment box? I said no tag and award zone . Lol. Yea..me lc la but after doing 2-3 tag in my early days, I feel lazy jor. Even in fb now got new "tag". Someone will write something silly like I am moving to timbuktu. If we comments in that thread then we kena trapped and will be asked to put something silly in our fb status. Then trapnothers. I kena few times. Each time I just laugh it off and never bother to do it.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i saw that.. like very "bar bai" like that declining all tagging and awards, haha!! but good to make things clear also lah, sometimes have to be a little "harsh" lor.. oh, i kena once before lah that FB thing, i just ignore lor, what a nonsense!!!
DeleteI find that the chain email /whatapps that says "if you don't fwd to xx ppl you will.." very offensive. Yea I know the sender is scared of the repercussions but then if they are my friend why in this world would they wanna pass this bad karma to me? Why wana me to be unhappy? Is this the way of real friend?
ReplyDeleteSome may say aiya...I saja send ma...up to u to believe or not la. If u don't believe then delete lo...but I am think why the heck send in the first plc?
DeleteRecent I also received whatapps msg ask me fwd to 10 ppl to ensure my whatapps will continue working. Adoi....vomit blood
Another was say ask alert coz xxx country AIDS patients pakat to go donate blood to infect others ppl. And another is say mozzie bite can transmit AIDS.
Never check ka before forward.
Saw one friend kena KNS in FB for simply sharing animal cruelty case. Whn in actual fact the case was settled many years ago and was not as claim in the article.
well, we actually receive all kinds of spam and junk mails. What to do? It's cyberworld. We just need to play safe and enjoy what is appropriate.
Deleteyalah, those people very KNS sometimes, never bother to think before they act.. and i also do not understand the motive of the creator who started all these things?? so free got nothing to do ah?? go and sweep and mop the floor of the whole house to kill the time lah, hahahaha!! but then cannot let them use METHOD, because they will clean the house too quickly and come back to create nonsense again~~ :D
DeleteThe what's app one is pretty annoying, my eldest sister always curious about it and forward to all the siblings to ask, especially the one said what's app gonna terminate or become paid apps something like that....(wonder all these people really have nothing to do duh?)
DeleteAlso that's one time my brother in law send something to all of us,is a link like saying he's currently using this app and ask you to join it ask well, then my sister blur blur don't know and click on the link, who knows it's virus....it sent to everyone in her contact list...and she wasn't noticed at that moment until her friend call her to let her know then she only knows that's virus!!!
hmmm, i remember that Whatsapp thing, actually i received that but before i forward to friends, i actually search online for its authenticity, only to realise that was just a hoax lor.. hmmm, and those ask you to join some links thing, actually when it's sent to us, it really sounded like your friend personally sent to you, so easily fell into the trap one lor.. haiz, that means your BIL kena virus lah.. so better to use iPhone because i heard no people bother to make virus for Apple products, haha!!
DeleteMost of the time , I will ignore it even if it is good or religious nature. Chain mail is very irritating!
ReplyDeleteyeah, i do agree with you, but i would say not all lah, most of them are very irritating.. so if i ever want to forward, i try not to make them read like chain mails.. haha!! :D
DeleteI will normally ignore such chain mails if i received them especially those that state if you don't xxxxx you will xxxx i find it threatening and i don't believe such things
ReplyDeleteyeah, exactly the same thing here.. i don't like to be forced to do something..
DeleteSame here, I will just delete them without even proceed to read them in details.
DeleteThese days I seldom receive such chain mails in my mailbox, but on and off I see my friends post similar photos/articles in FB, also saying something 'forward if you want good luck etc...'. Sorry la but I find it funny and ridiculous lo!
Once I actually wonder, well so if I really forward the mail/photo, but no good luck happens to me, who shall I report to ar? LOL!
ah, you are right!! i think nowadays seldom use emails as the channel already but mostly through sharing and likes on facebook!! hahaha, but then errr, if on facebook, got such thing as "forward and you will XXXX" meh??
Deleteand a good question from you!! hahaha.. can you guarantee good luck if i forward?? if not then where to complain?? :D
Good afternoon SK and guys!
ReplyDeleteHmm chain mails, no matter good or bad, sorry to say that I hate them! But one thing I realise, last few years, there were indeed a lot chain mails I received in my mailbox. But of the recent 1-2 years, the number of chain mails got lessen! I don't know why but it's sure a good thing for me. Back then, I remember I needed to delete them every single day in order to keep my mailbox 'nice' and 'neat'! So troublesome and leceh leh!
Now, no need to do those jobs already, what a breeze!! =)
Actually I also don't know who started the chain mail thingy, but to me it sounds very irrational! I mean, really by forwarding the mail then good things will happen to me already? Or if I really don't forward, something bad will happen? (Touchwood la!)
DeleteCome on, common sense, and think rationally, how on earth is that is possible right? Good or bad things, I believe God already have the plans. Forwarding or not is not gonna effect anything in our lives la!
I think people who started it just do it for fun, or sometimes, scare people. Imagine, when it says 'bad thing will happen if you don't forward', we will sure got frightened and worried, so many will sure forward the mails, then the cycle goes on and on. 其实只是个心理游戏罢了，就看看个人怎样去衡量咯！But if you can think rationally, you'll know it's not possible ;)
Oh ya, the award comes tag thingy, erm actually I did that a few times before. Now that you mentioned, it makes me feel a bit silly doing that :(
DeleteI mean I know it's just a 'virtual award' which anyone can get easily, but when I got tagged with such awards, I din't think so much but to blog about it if I could. First is to show my appreciation to that particular blogger for 'nominating' me (cause I believe it means that blogger remembers me), second is to just share whatever infor/details to my readers, and third, to add a post to my archive (especially if I got nothing special to blog about that time) ;))
But of course, I don't usually tag my readers at the end of the award post, because I know there're people who think like you :p So sometimes I think I kinda violate the award rules cause usually they want you to tag a certain number of people ma! :p
Even if I tag, I will not make it a compulsory rule for my readers, I will state clear it's just a 'award', blog or not, it's totally up to you, at least give people a choice and freedom ma!
p/s: I think I have tagged you in certain award before? Sorry ar, I din't know you hate being tagged that time xD
Anyway, ok la, I will remember what you say, if wanna give you an award, better give you something physical, something which you can touch, haha xD
DeleteBut all I want to say is, don't feel irritated by those tagging la! Like I said, if that person tagged and nominated you, it means somehow he/she remembers you as a friend. At least drop by his/her blog to say thank you, and tell politely that you don't do tags so you'll probably skip the post. Afterall, it's totally up to you whether to blog about it or not. You can choose to not blog about it, but you cannot stop/block people from nominating you ma! :p
Anyway, I think after reading this post, all your readers will remember already and won't give you xxx award next time xD
yalor, you mentioned that and i also realized.. really don't get those chain mails in the mailbox lately already.. all gone to sharing and likes on facebook already lah.. actually i miss those days when i receive a lot of nice chain mails especially those with photos.. at least with photos nicer to read on, unlike those long-winded pure words emails, i surely no patience to read on one.. haha!!
Deleteyalah, so not making sense right?? and just like you said, if i don't forward then really bad luck will hit me?? or if i forward, and no good luck comes to me then whom shall i complain to?? come to think of it, really just a psychological game lah, i always hate that and do not like to be obligated in those so-called "forward instructions" lah.. straight away will trash them, and immediately empty the recycle bin.. don't pollute my always neat and tidy mailbox, haha!!
haha, no lah, i won't feel irritated if somebody tagged me in those "XXX Award" thing lah.. in fact i will just entertain to say thank you to show my appreciation but then i will always have to find time to do that lah.. errr, i am being very hypocrite lah when it comes to this thing, sorry ah if i ever ignored your requests earlier, haha!! but then i think you also understand lah, you yourself also not really want those things, but just to show appreciation to the sender mah.. anyway, glad that this thing is like not "heng" anymore right?? hmmm, peace of mind~~ :D
Hahahahhahaha XXX award! Gawd that so reminds me of those days when I was a new blogger. Saw so many of those going around! I don't think I did forward it to anyone though...
ReplyDeletehaha, last time when i was new also nobody sent me those "awards" leh, that means you have been and are still very popular and liked by many lah.. it's a good thing mah, hahaha!! :D
DeleteI will never forward those msg!
