Suddenly....................

Have you for once in your life,suddenly somehow there was a crave in you so strong that you wanted to search for some friends whom you have lost touch over the years, friends that once were so close to you?I have.

Suddenly i felt like Facebook was kind of like a godsend or an omnipotent device that could literally help you to locate long lost friends, it might not be a 100 % of success rate but it was just good enough.

Suddenly, there was some immense joy in me when i saw those pictures of those grown up teens of whom i once taught in "children church" seeing them doing well in their respective fields, knowing that some of them are in oversees settling well there..... it was just such a nice feeling for me.

Suddenly, there was some not so nice feeling as well, will talk about it next week..........

What was the nicest surprise you have got from Facebook ?

Have a great weekend and God Bless.

  2. Getting connected with long lost friend isn't a new thing. If a social networking site like this can't be able to let me do that, I might as well don't join.

    My nicest surprise?

    Seen people with an impossible amount of friends. From hundreds to thousands. It was more like a battalion of Internet armies.

  6. FB allows us to keep in touch with friends, relatives and strangers easily. It also has many applications and games to kill the time :p That's why Malaysian spend the most time in FB - 9 hours weekly and have most FB friends, according to a survey.

    Nicest surprise? Hmm, re-connect with my primary school friends, perhaps :D

  9. I FB daily for my personal and work use (2 accounts).

    The good side: It connects me with all friends and family scattered around the world, and bloggers too! some of my fb friends didn't aware or read my blog but they still will find out what I posted as I linked my blog to FB and some photos in my blog was posted in my FB album as well. As for business, I interact with customers daily thru the wall post, discussion thread and photos. FB is like all in one =p

    The down side: FB games is addictive!!!!
