well, this entry can either be a rather a pointless piece of useless ranting

or an entry tt makes absolute perfect sense to everyone.

either way, i am typing wad's in my head.

whether u like it or not. so dere. pffft.


it seems that writing abt ur daily routine online suddenly became appealing.

and those diaries with heart-shaped locks on them

that we girls used to have back then are juz memories.

call it airing ur dirty linen, baskin in self-appointed, self-induced limelight,

glorification of random beings like u and i..

wadever it is, u are doing it, and i am clearly doing it,

everyone's doing it.

even those ppl who "don give a damn abt havin a blog" and refuse to succumb to the

ways of the norm

well, they read blogs too.

and why do they do tt? i'm sure that they would classify it under

'random things ppl do that doesnt have to make sense'.

a kind of social reflex.


and, there are actually some ppl who attain fame,

and even endorsement deals... and believe it or not, a contract,

becos they... well, blog.

plus they're pretty. but well, they blog.

if it's as simple as tt, i'd blog my way to being in de same company

as Utt and Denise too.

it's not as simple as tt, unfortunately (dang!).

10 things you gotta do/have to be a hot blogger.

1. you gotta have a life tt involves more than starin into de comp 24/7.

2. nightlife? tt's better.

3. u gotta be hot. plastic surgery or not.

4. speakin abt plastic surgeries, u gotta have scandalous stories too. things like, going on n on abt ur love for handicapped toilets, and the controversial before-and-after nose jobs pics.

5. gotta have a high-end digicam. to take loads of fotos of urself and ur pals at parties. and u at home dressing up to go to those parties. afterall, a pic says a thousand words.

6. you gotta have a way with words. gift of the gab. impt.

7. gotta have a huge 'fanbase' of frens, frens-of-frens, foes, ex-boyfrens, and girlfrens/ex-girlfrens of ex-boyfrens. or even current boyfren.

8. gotta blog religiously. so tt ppl will alwaes have sth to look forward to.

9. gotta be in a blogosphere. to those who dunno wad tt is, well, it's a sphere of ppl who blog. so tt u can comment on each other's posts and well, make it 'lively'.

10. if u are a fan of reality shows, u'd noe tt de best part of de shows is when there's plenty of bitching, backstabbing, emotional breakdowns. you noe de werks.


speaking of which, dere's really so much in common between reality shows n blogs.

both counting on de strength and weakness of human nature - curiosity.

but as de saying goes, curiosity kills de cat.

or in this case, will spark off...

Blogwars.

when u type ur feelings out and press "publish post"

usually you'll be alone.

even newspapers and magazines need editors.

get my drift?

sometimes, we do get way off the tangent.

sparking off unintended feelings of angst by others.

other times, it's other ppl who misread, misunderstand, misconceptualise

wad we are tryin to put across.

sometimes, we read de writings of ppl we barely noe.

and with tt, comes misjudgment.

other times, wad we type, we leave out stuff.

leaving other parties to fill-in-the-blanks.

and we all noe we suck at cloze passage.

wadever it is, one thing's for sure.

with blogging, the line between wad's private and wad's public is clearly blurred.

and with different principles, with the lack of personal touch,

frictions tend to ensue.

to be in a blogwars is such a sticky, messy thing.

a LOT of ppl will get involved.

and a LOT of misunderstandings will arise from the original problem.

and hiding behind de screen, the lil devil in us will come out.

we'd say things that we'd never say if we are to do it in person instead.

and sadly, a lot of ties are sacrificed.

is the culpirt the blog, or us?


Blogging - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

The good - with everyone so busy, it's so hard to meet up. isn't it great,

that while doing ur work, u can actually 'visit' others to see how they are doing?
and unlike a fone call, u get to noe how he/she really feels, and even look

at de latest pics. it's a great way to socialise in this era. and when u do finally
meet up, you'll have so much to talk abt cos u noe so much abt each other.
nothing's lost, and you'll even make new frens, random readers

who 'blog-hopped' into ur blog via links from other blogs.


The bad - miscommunication, misjudgment, misconception, misdemeanour, misunderstandings,mistake.

scenario 1 - blogwars

among ur blogosphere, some parties will side will one side

and others with another. and durign blogwars, it's really like an election rally.

everyone says such good things abt themselves and ugly things abt de opponent.

propaganda, or issit the truth? how would u noe?

scenario 2 - rumours.
you dunno her, yet u read abt her life.

u expect her to have a certain kinda characteristic, exude a particular kinda personality.
yet an entry she wrote, maybe things she did, pics she took

things she say, totally dismiss ur conception abt her.

wad do u do? u get shocked. u talk abt it to ur close pals, hu talk abt it in their blogs

and to their other pals. unfortunately, singapore is small.

everyone noes everyone else. words gets ard.

worse - it gets twisted along de way.

and dere u go - tt's how u spread rumours. n de best thing is,

arent u all guilty of it? chances are, we all have done it before.


The Ugly

racism, court cases. petty things blown out of proportion.

slander, malicious remarks. an opportunity for hundreds other bloggers

to become testament of ur stupidity.

and in true singaporean style, someone wil go "i wanna lodge a complaint!"

and de authorities step in.

just when u think everythin is goin 'sibei cool'

ur got a court case. ur pic appear in de papers, news.

u became known as the damn racist blogger hu thinks lowly of de minorities.

plus, everyone noes u have bad command of english.

u have to pay a hefty fine, maybe tt will go into the funds of the ppl u hate

and if u didnt haf a tragic childhood and be named a psycho, u get a jail term.

if u do haf a tragic childhood plus a fren of a minority race hu says

tt u are actually a good fren to him/her, u get to do community work.

where? hehe. obviously de govt had a sense of humour. (unlike popular contrary beliefs)

cos de govt made u do community service to de very ppl u condemn.


well, everything does sound extremely familiar doesnt it?

be sure that there's more to come.

blogging is de way of life now.

it's like our abode, our emotional sanctuary.

except tt now, it's become a social sanctuary too.

speaking of which, de number of hits i get a day,

ppl hu read my blog, dun u haf de courtesy to say hello?

afterall, u don barge into someone's house without knocking on de door

and saying hello do u?

so drop a line if u can. i don bite.
