I believe most of you tried instant messaging before. Popular instant messengers include (in order of most popular to less): AIM (American Online Instant Messenger), MSNM (Microsoft Network Messenger), Yahoo! Messenger and last but currently quite the least, ICQ.
Personally, I use MSNM. I recall using it since a long time ago and my friend and I were the only ones in each other’s contact list, lol. I was one of those who are pestering people to switch from ICQ toMSNM although I clearly know that at that point of time, ICQ was superior in all aspects. The only problem – my computer is very slow and ICQ crawls.
Now I have slightly more than 50 useful contacts. [I cleared my contacts sometimes, the connection is faster with MSNM's servers that way.] I don’t chat with most regularly.
I do notice their notice their nicknames. Some are rather strange.
**Their nicknames are written in such a format usually:**
<nick> P.U.S.H (Pray Until Sometimes Happen)
I am quite sure that sentence is problematic. Does he mean “Pray Until Something Happens”? But that sound quite negative.<nick> ok guys.. dun ask! It’s D D E n a C5 for GP!!
I tell you, despite for poor A level results, she is very smart to know that people will ask her for A level results.<nick> Broke le… :’( Hoping for Steady Pom Pi Pi~!
When I see it, my reaction is – what the hell is “Steady Pom Pi Pi”. Because it sounded like what a fireman would have said to his fire truck!I Am A Dictator

Okay, I figured 80 minus 73 returns a value of 7. Er.. Jia you [Work hard in Mandarin].<nick> sHe bAnGs….sHe bAnGs…!!
I can see his love for William Hung in American Idol.**Sleeping Dragon**
He has the most appropriate nickname in my contact list. He is never online.
<<…sh0rT + swEet…>>
You gotta admit that isn’t exactly the shortest and sweetest nicknames you’ve seen before.
That’s the advantage of keeping my contacts: the nicks are rather entertaining.
