Ok I find myself like to update blog when finals or important exam is around the corner.
Was scrolling my Facebook profile and looking at all the photos which I was tagged by others. Have removed many photos that I posted myself HAHA. Just feel like wan to have some privacy.
Internet has changed our life, and also our relationship. We start to magnify many trivial issues at internet, post our opinions or feeling, trying to seek attention from a wide range of people because sometimes we don't know how to initiate or engage in a conversation. Many of my friends prefer to reply via insta story rather than just talk at whatsapp. Probably we just hope to not disturb other's life which we have no longer involved in but we still wish to know what's happening to others? (Geh po)
I was very reluctant to update my personal feelings or life at social media, and insist that only people who I'm really close with will know what's happening in my life. Until I became the president of Accounting Society, I noticed social media could be used as a platform for marketing, kept myself updated of some important info, networking with people whom I barely remember their names, gaining fame (?) and most importantly, to prove that you're really doing your job and having a good relationship with your team.
I find this extremely ridiculous tbh as I still think what is shown at social media could be entirely different from the real life! I witness too many friends who posted how fun their moment spent with their friends, but in real life complaining... also couple who posted their sweet moments and just broke up few days after! Even some who barely talk or spend time with their family, posting how lovely they're with their family! I still find this confusing sometimes. Is it me who too obsessed with being genuine and the truth?
I guess I just don't belong to the virtual social media world. I become more active at social media at the beginning of this year because I was very curious with the human behaviour that is reflected through social media. I was influenced by some of my friends who are social media influencers.
And I find social media very addictive. I began to lose myself, very worried on other's reaction when they saw my insta story, and concerned on how many people viewed my insta story. And I think I am really lazy at taking good photos from nice angle, using the correct filter, coming out with nice caption. Ok I'm really lazy.
I have spoken to Michael who always update his insta story, and he told me to stop over think and be myself at social media. He isn't wrong, but probably is me who worries too much.
But of course there's good side of social media! I get to talk to some of my friends without awkwardness, keep in touch with some friends who I really care. And sharing some stupid moments in my life! There are really some people who find it easier to get closer with me through insta story LOL. They just find interaction through insta story or message is fun. I also love looking at pretty photos or mouth watering food!
Besides, insta story is a good source of information hahaha! There are many interesting features or stuffs that one could find from social media too. Shouldn't neglect the usefulness of social media. Hardly find someone like Soon Weng who stay far away from social media.
Glad that I have get rid of addiction to social media and putting more emphasis and care in my real life. Feeling and appreciating every moment makes me feel alive and cherished.
I suddenly recall when Snapchat and Twitter were introduced, I was very reluctant to embrace these new platforms (like Soon Weng). Seems like I didn't change much.
Every coin has two sides. Probably it depends on how we use social media. I think I prefer to post funny moments to make others happier (life is hard) and post moments with some of my friends who really care about social media presence? Oh ya it's a good marketing platform for my events too!
