Excuse me LINE, where's my LINE DOLL?!

Since I am the "Singapore's Complain Queen", I shall do myself some justice and blog about this.

I believe there is an increasing amount of LINE users in Singapore now (I started out really early when most people were still using Whatsapp #proud).

If you haven't heard about LINE, then it's time for you to come out of your cave.

Not sure about you guys, but I've been receiving messages from LINE EVENT account almost on a daily basis, prompting users to enter some lucky draws by typing in the correct answers blah blah.

Feeling like a retard who has NEVER won once (not even a single time despite my loyalty in answering their questions everyday, damn it), I decided everything is nothing but a SCAM. 

I even participated in their Christmas event, whereby I foolishly typed "ChristmasMe" daily, thinking that I might strike the jackpot one day.

Yes, dream on, Catherine. Dream on. As if LINE gives a damn how loyal you are.

Striking the 4D is so much easier than winning the #()$*()#$ LINE doll.

I have been facing the same old message for the entire month, so much that I could literally memorize the paragraph.

Here's a screenshot of my stupidity:

"Awww...Don't be sad, it's just not your day."

DAMN, WHEN HAS IT EVER BEEN MY DAY?!?! WHEN??!!

Then there were times I received Congratulatory messages, which made my heart jumped a little.

BUT NO, I AM NOT THE WINNER LEH???!!! OH SHIT YOU.

Just when I lost total faith in LINE, my BFF texted and told me that she is a winner in one of the daily contests - SHE WON HERSELF A LINE DOLL!!!! Woohoo?!?

I couldn't believe the news. HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE?! 

She has entered a correct entry and received a "WINNER" link to fill up her details, indicating that she would receive a LINE doll.

This was the screenshot she sent me:

EDIT** SHE HAS SENT ME THE FULL SCREENSHOTS** EVIDENCE, EVIDENCE!!

It was a pity that she could not access the Winner Form anymore after she has filled it up, else I could have gotten her to screenshot it.

BUT YES, SHE DID FILL UP THE FORM.

AND the reason I'm blogging about this is because......

 It has been months since the date she was notified as a winner.

She waited and waited... There is no sound, no smell, no sight and no NOTHING about the doll.

So much that she is on the verge of giving up.

"Forget it", she said.

OH, MY DEAR BFF, YOU ARE TOO KIND. HOW COULD YOU SIMPLY DISMISS THIS WHEN YOU ARE CLEARLY THE WINNER?!?!

HOW COULD YOU BE FEELING HAPPY FOR NOTHING?!

For all you know, someone else is having the same experience but yet dismiss it just like that.

BUT NO, I am not going to let this slip. Never mind that I am not the winner, but someone whom I know actually is AND she deserves the doll.

Christmas is over and she has yet to receive it! Come on, how difficult is it to deliver the doll when there were not many winners to begin with?!?!

#*(&$(#&$*(#$)(

Now shut up and give my BFF the doll else I will haunt you, LINE.

Social Media

I came across this image while doing some random surfing on Facebook:

How true, how true.

In our modern society today, this is how Facebook works. You know that moment when you saw a post on that friend's wall - and you thought it was referring to you... (but sometimes, it was indeed referring to you. LOL)

Facebook can be a great tool in pulling people closer together - but it can destroy any relationship, too.

I have been there, done that.

I still remembered how I underestimated the power of social media and posted something negative about an (ex) good friend...

Well... That friendship was never healed, despite my repent.

Of course, if you use Facebook the good way - It can really be a great tool to connect with your friends virtually. (In my case, I use it as a tool to stalk people. Well, err.. Just kidding.)

I still remembered those good old times when everyone was still using IRC/MIRC to communicate.

We used to create channels within our own group of friends and chatted the night away.

And then we have the MSN messenger and Friendster.

Remember those times when you kept pestering your friends to write "testis" or "testimonials" for you?

Hahaha. Those memories are still vivid in my head.

*sighs*

And now? We have Whatsapp, LINE, etc.

But I do agree it is more convenient. We can chat anywhere on-the-go, with just a mobile device.

I do wonder what would be next, though. I won't be surprised if Facebook is losing its popularity anytime soon. This world is ever-changing!

Can you predict which would be the next uprising social platform?
