remember to check ur emails...carefully...

I used to check mail daily during my secondary days.

But nowadays, due to the overflooding of my inbox as a result of the constant spamming of junk and nonsensical chain mails* (which have continuously predicted my death(s)) for at least a few years, the tiresome process of scanning through my junk-filled inbox just to search for one or two decent messages has slowly dwindled from a weekly affair to something done on a monthly basis...

* The emails were usually like... for those below 18 you can equate 'sohai' to 'funny'...

• I am XXX (some sohai name) and i died due to (some sohai reason) ...Please forward this email to (some sohai number of people) or you will die (the same sohai way) ... seriously wtf...

• The (some sohai fella) has granted you a wish... (so make some sohai wish) ...Please forward this email to (some sohai number of people) or you will be cursed for eternity... zezeze... that certainly wasn't what i wished for... =.="

More recently, I've gotten myself yet another heavy spammer which literally abuses my inbox... Yea it's you Mr Facebook... xxx added u as a friend on fb... xxx commented on ur post... xxx tagged a photo of u... xxx sent u a message... xxx posted a message on ur wall... In fact, I could actually receive as many as 50-60 emails of this sort per day... =.='

But thats not the point... The point is... erm... did anyone of u remember a lame entry a few weeks ago bout aliens? Well that was really a entry which I posted in order to win tickets to the premiere screening... which i did... and did not...
