It all started with "Odi Yusoff is in an open relationship". Well, actually it all started because I was out of my mind with Peter Ladefoged, the phonetician. To get all the concepts in my brain was hard. The words in his book were getting blurrier and blurrier. So I decided to fiddle with the stuff provided by the FB. One of them was changing my relationship status. And Nita started the ball rolling...until I saw this: "Apalah anakda ini semua katakan!!!!"
Now, in other computer-mediated communication, I can go anonymous and shoot whatever I want and feel without other individuals knowing who is behind the username. But with this particular FB account, it appears that I'd better watch what I write, and what I do. Something which is harmless to some might actually create uncomfortableness, or rather discomfort, onto others. I totally forget about this. So when I read Ayahda Prof's comment... it kind of bring me back down to earth, although I am not sure for how long as I tend to go back up to my cosmos pretty fast. I must go back to Grice, Leech, Levinson, Halliday, and Gu to decipher what the whole asynchronous interaction was really about. And perhaps I should also create another account so that I can continue shooting my mouth off for the sake of anonymousity. Nahhh... too much time will be spent on log in, log out... And if you realize, I did not tag this note to Ayahda Prof's FB... how should I put this - nak mampossssss.....
