I had breakfast with Jeradyne earlier today. Usual lah.
We talk about other people. Usual lah.
We talk about Facebook, sometimes usual lah.
We talk about the profile pictures of people in Facebook. First time.
Half the people in this country has to be wearing thick clothings and a lot of the pictures are taken when it was snowing.
We speculated it this way. Going by Abraham Maslow hierarchy of needs, your friends would be in the social and self esteem level. Physical and security needs would have been satisfied.
What better way to earn some respect from friends than to tell them that you have holidayed abroad. Well, you may argued that standing in front of the Eiffel Tower or the London Bridge and have your photo taken would suffice.
Hey, remember that we are talking about profile pictures! A bit closer up and recognisable. Hence the clothes and the snow. In this country those things are not normal and viola, we can quite easily conclude, people with photos like that have holidayed abroad or at least had been abroad on a business stint.
The gweilo are no different of course. Instead of using clothes, they use tans and skimpy clothing in a outdoor environment. Preferably a beach.
"But Stanley, you are no different! Look at your profile picture!" a voice spoke in my head.
Of course, I ignored that voice. What! you think I listen to voices in my head? Do I look like I need a shrink?
Jeradyne told me about Paramore and the song Decode sang by this girl Hayley Williams.
She is really good.
