I'm invited to join a gathering of ex-Indiana State University students, via Facebook. I went through the list of invitees. Those names are not familiar to me, except one, Ezzah Aziz Fauzy. If you are as old ad I am or within 10 years younger, you might have seen her on TV, broadcasting news on TV3.
What would I do? What would talk about? Who to talk to? What to wear?….. oh forget it. Im not going. I decided.
I sent a private FB message to the ones who invited me (Al-Lil). The message sounded something like….
“sorry, I dont know anyone. I wouldn't feel comfortable being among you. I will come to the next gathering”
He replied, saying that he could not accept my reason. Re-think…re-think…and re-think…
“Why not? I should go. Be who I am. Meet new friends. Test PR skills. Check on the food at that cafe where we are meeting”. I had a 2nd thought. Next I logged into FB and clicked on the ‘Maybe’ button.
Now my profile is transferred to ‘May be attending’ list.
Ok 2 more days for me to decide whether or not to click on the ‘Im attending’ button.
If my grandma is still alive and read this post, I wonder if she understands what Im talking about.
See what technology does to us………..
