If you blog everyday, people say you have no life.
If you don’t blog everyday, people say you’re running out of ideas.
Anyone got anymore contributions to the list?

Happy 6-month anniversary to kennysia.com
Having blogged for so long, here are some of the things I’ve learnt thus far.
Bloglitics = Blog politics. It is inevitable. Anything you do or write will be used against you. Whatever you put on your blog, there’s ALWAYS people out there who will be offended.
What can you write on your blog?
If you write about your daily life, people will say that your daily life is very boring.
If you don’t write about your daily life, people will say that you have no life.
If you post photos of yourself in your blog, people will say you are an attention-seeking bitch.
If you don’t post photos of yourself in your blog, people will say you’re an ugly-looking anonymous coward hiding behind the computer screen.
If you post Photoshopped photos of yourself in your blog, people will say you are fake.
If you post un-Photoshopped photos of yourself in your blog, people will say you cause infertility.
If you link and write good things about other bloggers, people are gonna say you’re an ass-kisser.
If you link and write bad things about other bloggers, people are gonna say you’re just jealous.
If you praise Singaporean girls, people are gonna think you’re putting down Malaysian girls.
If you defend Malaysian girls, people are gonna think you have something against Singaporean girls.
If you write about your conservative lifestyle, people will say you’re a right-wing evangelising religious nut trying to force other people to lead your lifestyle.
If you write about your liberal lifestyle, people will say you’re a sex-crazed attention-seeking exhibitionist slut who enjoys baring your titties on the Internet.
If you post photos of pretty girls on your blog, no matter how pretty you think they are, there will ALWAYS be people out there who say they’re ugly.
If you write jokes on your blog, people will say you’re not funny.
If you write satirical jokes on your blog, there will ALWAYS be someone who don’t get it and turn all angry and upset over it.
If you create a personality quiz on your blog in the name of fun, people will say your readers have no personality.
If you have ads on your blog, people will say you’re selling out.
If you don’t have ads on your blog, people will say you’re stupid for not trying to make easy money.
If you leave your comments and site address on other blogs, people will say you’re site-whoring.
If you get featured in the newspaper because of your blog, people will say you’re a fame whore.
If you reject the newspaper’s request for an interview, people will say you’re a stuck-up bitch.
If you write socio-political blogs, people will say you are boring.
If you don’t write socio-political blogs, people will say you are infantile.
If you write in perfect English, people will say you’re a hao-lian elitist.
If you write in casual colloquial English, people will say you cannot write at all.
If you write about Malaysian issues, people will say you’re trying to imitate Jeff Ooi.
If you rant and diss using words like ‘dipshit’ and ‘dumbfucks’, people will say you’re trying to imitate Maddox.
And if you write an entry like this, people will say you’re trying to imitate mr brown.
As a matter of fact, here’s a screenshot of what I believe is the most bloglitically-correct blog you can find on the Internet.
If you follow these simple rules, then I can assure you that you’re well on your way to bloglitically-correct superstar-dom.
Congratulation!
That is just so funny because its true.
But because its true, its no longer funny.
Just sad.
aww.. so sad.
Someone step on your toes?
Don’t let the bastards get you down. They’re just jealous. 🙂
*nod nod*
that’s very true. but even if you posted up a blank page people would say that:
(a) you’re a moron for bothering
(b) you’re pulling off some kinda publicity stunt
(c) you’re an idiot without any to write about
can’t win, can you?
Everyone is critical about everything. Some does it for a living, let them be. Everyone’s good enough to blog.
Was just having a similar discussion with another blogger along these lines. Sometimes all you can do is ignore it and move on. Constructive crtiticism is one thing, but people that say things just to tear you down, I have no time for them. It’s good to be considerate of other’s feelings in your writing, but not to the point of compromising your views. Like I said to my friend, to those who are genuine, the positive comments will outweigh the negative anyway. It’s only when the negative comments seriously outbalance the positive that perhaps people need to examine why.
Soldier on! You have a great site. Love your writing style!
Haha..thanks for making me laugh bright and early in the morning. I go into hysterics everytime i read the word “Nabeh!”, such underutilization of a wonderful word =D
A blank post?
Come on, have you got no creativity?
Woops.
Just do wateva u wanna do, BABY!!
WHATEVER U DO IS CORRECT LA KENNY!! ;*
i don’t give a damn anymore.
haha
God-given truths about blogging
Screw me silly if this aint true! I used to care what people thought my blog and what i wrote, but now i hardly do anymore. The only ethics that govern my blog is that i’ll only write what i…
True, true, true, Kenny, you did it again! ^_^
If you write a blog like this… People will say…
“Tell us something we don’t know.. 😛
ooohhh hey… never thought about it this way. this reinforces my resolve to just blog whatever i want and not bother about criticism. thumbs up man!
way to go! been reading ur blog tho I’ve never left my footnote. That’s one inspirational entry! 🙂
True, true, true, Kenny, you did it again! ^_^
Ever heaRd the phrase, “Masuk telinga, keluar asap”?? Its a d0g eat d0g w0rld out there- E’thg’s political nowadays.u can’t please Everybody- ur only human =)) Bt on the bl0gsphere, ur unt0uchable~
People seem to forget wat blogging is for in the first place… a place to express urself and write wat you want.
don’t worry, keep it going man… i need ur daily dose of wise cracks n silly parodies 🙂
u know lah, u can please some people all of the time, u can please all people some of the time but you can never please all people, all of the time right?
ah well.. there’s always a yin and a yang to everything.. ;p
Oops, your first taste of blog politics eh? Well, it’ll affect you initially, then soon after, you won’t give a fug.
Just ignore it ler, Blogging’s supposed to be for your own pleasure. If you keep paying attention to what everyone complains, you won’t enjoy anything. 😛
Kenny,
Pl don’t be bloglitically-correct!..
Duh. Don’t you just hate people sometimes? I nearly gave up on them, if not for the nice people around me. Heh heh.
Hear hear good one to sock it to them. Guess it’s true “You can please some of the people some of the time but you can’t please all the people all the time”. In the end just write what you write and be hell with opinions, if they like it they like it, if they don’t just move along. In the end just be yourself, of which ever alter ego Kennysia is 😀
You cannot possibly please everyone simply because there are too many of them. It is far more easier to please yourself.
very funny.:) but it’s also such an accurate reflection of what’s happening around.. thanks for the joke.
Nah, Kenny, you’ve got the right mix. Humour and carefully placed barbs at political parties usually indicate an intellect too wily to get bogged down in a flaming gutter-fight, and hey, you impress me. My opinion on M’sians was boosted considerably by your blog.
Just keep on bloggin’, Big MaMa.
that was a highly logical post. -claps madly.
hear ye, hear!
Wah-lau! Why white screen? Because you think white people are so good is it? Why not yellow or brown screen?
(PS In case you didn’t realise, this was not a serious comment)
I totally agree man.
I give you a dildo (so you don’t have to dirty yourself), then you can go hatefuck everybody that pissed you off.
Actually, why don’t you pass ME a dildo, I’ll do it for you instead.
*hugs*
Dude, the slow postings lately feels as if you’re starting to run out of ideas. But hey, all respect to you. They’re GOOD posting nonetheless. You really prepares for all your posting days before. I wouldn’t get caught carrying cameras around town looking for stories. Feels too much like a tourist. Keep it up.
I’m guilty of some of the above =P
Just be yourself. I like reading your blog as it is. 🙂
From what I see, I’d say you are one damn lucky guy. You’ve got lots of friends and fans from all over who like you and what you write. So why let the turkeys get you down? Just be yourself…
i am enlightened! mwahaha! now i will use this to create the most impossibly bloglitically correct blog ever! oh wait. i already have. no one ever criticized my work because no one ever reads it! mwahahaha! i am immune.
excellent post, like always, mr sia.
blank post oso got ppl kacau one la…
Congrates!
blank post oso got ppl kacau one la…
Congrates!
The last few points and the pic got me laughing. I’m sorry that such shits are getting you. But you impress me with having humour in this entry even when it clearly shows that you’re disappointed abt some things.
Hope things will get better for you soon, yah? Hugs.
P/s. That was a friendly hug with no intention to grope Kenny’s ass.
I thought you write funny blogs because ppl likes it. Indirectly, aren’t you whoring for readers?
But nevermind that. Keep it up. Hahaha
Bloglitically-correct blog Suffocates!
I thought blogs were about the freedom to express ourselves. Heheh, but I spent most of my earlier blogging, doing blog whoring and comment whoring to get ppl to read. After sometime, I just got bored, and started to just write. Which sometimes is repetitive, but very theraputic. Though time is always the deciding factor nowadays. And the availability of internet connection
and congratulations on your 6 month anniversary 🙂
Kenny! You’re Singaporean!
Check out the zaobao article at mrbrown’s.
http://www.mrbrown.com/blog/2005/07/_zbnow_on_singa.html
so true. so very true. there are thousands of people out there. whatever you write, sure got someone not happy/please with it. even you yourself i’m sure will be guilty of some of these points. we are all. it’s only natural.
yep many of us will say i don’t care anymore what others say of me (my post) but then you must also put it the other way round – that is don’t care about what others blog on and not put them down. should works both way ideally that is but the truth is it doesn’t. humans are humans. they will comment/complain on what others have to say.
btw what you posted here, kenny, reminds me of the poem ‘the boss and i’. something to do with whatever i do, people look to it as no good but whatever the boss do (even same thing), people look to it as good.
I feel like as though the blogging community’s currently riding on the “big wave” just like any political or non-political issues that happens in Malaysia…
Whenever something crops up and sensationalises…it’ll just be the talk of the town. But like every single piece of news in our country…it’ll die down sooner or later.
Ride high!!! Ride the wave!!!
Cheers
Rubbish, we don’t want to be happy; we want to be famous
The other, more volatile, side effect of the recent thrown-into-the-spotlight treatment of a few fateful bloggers is the one of being thrown to the lions. Emulation now looks pretty benign next to retaliation.
Happy six-month anniversary to kennysia.com…. Kenny kip up ur gud work!
Who gives a fuck what people, they, the rest of the world, sore losers, jealous lame bloggers say, right?
Happy 1/2 year anni, anyway.
WELCOME TO THE BLOGOSPHERE!

Happy 6-month anniversary and keep it up the good work.Just write wat u want and needless to bother so much.If u do,ur blog wont b so interesting n wont b the favourites of ur fans.

Happy 6-months anniversary!
aiyoh kenny,dun care so much lar.this is ur blog.u can do anything wif it.moz importantly it pleases u coz its juz impossible 2 please every1.
There will always be idiots on the internetand everywhere else, and it sucks that they target you, XX, Minishorts and other bloggers because they can. BUt either ways, idiots are the only things they’re going to remain.
Great post, and if those idiots have enough brains or common sense, they should be able to process that.
And happy 6th month anniversary!!!
hahaaaaa hahaaaaa hahaaaaa hahaaaaahahaaaaa hahaaaaahahaaaaa hahaaaaahahaaaaa hahaaaaa lol
*looks left looks right*
*scrambles around madly*
*bumps into Kenny*
*gawks*
*hysterical bimbotic giggles*
Erm, ok lah I was trying to be funny.
Eh, I left my blog address leh.
Will you accuse me of whoring my site??
Yes, that’s right. That blank screen says it all. It’s kind of like the Quality Slogan they advocated some years back. “Zero-Defect”. My retort: that means don’t produce anything so you won’t make any mistakes. Also “nobody ever kicks a dead dog”. And my old man has one too: “If you criticize people when you are sitting down, be ready to be criticized when you stand up”. That’s human. But it makes a nice topic, though.
-applause-
I totally agree! Very well-written (:

Blogging is a terrible thing to do. Gives you headaches ‘cos you’re always thinking of trying to improve it (grammar or blogitical matters), and you’re never going to put down an “evil” at the same time without causing the other to surface.
Maybe you should include a page for angry readers to meditate. Should resemble the picture you put on Blogitics 🙂
wahaha….
teach u lar… since ur background is white…
write in white ink la. those who wana read, gets to read it, those who don’t wana read can just stare at blank pages 😛
have fun!!
Kuan! Kuan! Kuan! Happy half a year anniversarry kenny, or whatever it is!
Oh my god, I’m site whoring now…
I find that Malaysian blogs …those who ping PPS in particular, have a lot of bloglitics… usually blogs like urs which get high hit rates and lots of comments are the victim of these ‘bloglitical’ debates. Trolls, what to do.
Happy Anniversary mate 😉
how bloody true.
but dont care what other people say, write what you want to write, not write what other people want to read.
cheers
oO 6 months.. still in the diapers… heh LURVE YA KENNY *noisy kiss kiss hug hug* *runs*
Too much to think of the blog politics. That is what sometimes makes we blogger to not blog of some topic.
The best is to blog anything as we like and don’t bother about all the critics. So long we do not violate any law or online etiquettes. :p
Congratulations anyway.
Hehe. So true! There is just no way to win. love this entry!
aiyo whatever it is, i still love your blog very much! everyday check more than once leh!!
think of it this way lah. everytime you get a praise, add 1 star. when u get a criticism, add 2 stars. either way it shows ur writing invoked something in people, so it’s GOOD writing!
SCREW the rest of the world!!
yo… like your blog. Keep it up.
Nasty comments always surface, so don’t worry about it. U are not here to please everyone, so just be yourself. I’m the boring one haha…
Good job *pat Kenny’s back*
Left my link. Am I site-whoring?
Don’t think so =) Very interesting post, heh. You can’t please everybody I guess, and someone’s always out to bring you down, like xiaxue’s related post(latest entry from this time).
Keep it up.
I never left a footnote here on ur entry. This catch my attention hehe…nice entry. I keep laughing all the way down to hell LOL. man Keep it up…do not stop blogging or u wont have a nice logging 😛 seeya
i think this is so true. heys no matter what , i’ll still love your blog. happy anniversary anyway (:
Dude, there’s ALWAYS someone out there there’s against you and me and the rest of the world. That’s why this earth ain’t exactly perfect =)
Aside from that, it’s a really thoughtful entry there…

whatt!!! Kenny Sia hao-lianist?? noooooo…..except for that part about his coconut, maybe……Keep it up, bro. Happy SIX-MONTH ANNIVERSARY…..errrr..you want to throw a party at Charlie’s??
And i do agree.
Sighting recent blog sagas & negetive publicities,
The mass public is infinately hard to please.
But you don’t owe anyone explanations to what pleases yourself, no?
Love it here, though.
I agree! That’s how a blog should be. *applauds Kenny for discovering the most bloglitically-correct blog*
Ummm…kidding! =D
Screw them la Kenny. In 6 months your blog has risen to the top of the PPS charts coz the general populace of us agree with your brand of humour. Some of us even like your hairy legs. Keep the blog up! Shave your legs if you like…cheers!
happy 6-month-anniversary dood…i’ve been a faithful follower fo da past couple of months and i really hafta admit, u are one funny cunt!!!
and to actually find a hokkien speaking blogger at it, cracks me up even more (tho kuching hokkien and klang valley hokkien is a wee bit different in accent)…
aiyaaaaa blog as freely as u wan…it is ur space wat…’mai chap ee lang’…serious wan…’cho ka ki bo song nia’…for wat?!?!…if da readers cant accept wat u write, it’s not ur fault wat…’ngam bo?!?!’…jez continue being ur crazy self man…u owe it to urself!!! ‘nabeh!!!’
wah tat long already ka u blog? =)
ehh y need to think so hard when u blog. blog wat u wan lah. dont need to please peoplee
A blogger’s dilemma.
Do you feel pressured to blog to please your audience particularly now that you have such a following?
sit at home, relax, drink beer, read other ppl’s blog… comment on them… that’s how life should be, no? Even so, ppl who know what you do at home will criticise you… in whatever way they want. Just let it be 🙂 I guess anyone who leaves a comment on a person’s blog (regardless crude, rude, coconut-polishing, praising, etc…) shows that they do care to spend that few seconds on commenting something to the writer. In the end it just shows the readers do care in a certain way (maybe whether they think the writer’s coconuts are really big or actually just really small) and it’s good for the ping yea? 🙂
HAPPY 6th month! terror…6 minth already 90++ comment..if 6 yrs ..walaus…next maddoxx even…
Don’t let comments by mindless sogs get you down… There are far far more readers like us supporting your style than the jealous individual that tries to make the world a more unhappy place for everyone. Cheer up!!!
Wootness Kenny, happy half birthday to the blog!
(when’s YOUR birthday?)
How many posts so far?
Kill-joys lurk in every which (witch) corner, enjoying ending joy other than their own. Their action makes the weak weaker, the meek meeker….
but not the strong who grow even stronger, the bo-chap, lagi bo-chap kuan…
Yes, it’ll take more than words to bring down just anyone worth his salt & they should know it.
You are no kuching-kurap writer, as evidenced by the award you’ve garnered in a short span of 6 mths
and your large base of fans & readers..
Congratulations dude! Keep on writing. Your entries are always easy to digest & always entertaining, no matter what topics you’re addressing. .
There’s always an opposing force to everything. I think you can’t satisfy everyone. As for those who write in to express their ‘boh song-ness’..I think they’re quite ‘mou liu’. Afterall, you weren’t writing for them wut…why so perasan..
Keep on writing dude! You’re famous now..:) Just don’t let time constraints stop you from writing yah…..
Yo, congrats on 6 successful months of bloglitics survival. i remember some years back, when someone wrote that i sounded too sweet and nice to be true. i wanted to respond, “yeah right, bitch.”
i’m site whoring here. so bite me. ;p
neurotica, I couldn’t put it better myself.
Curtis G (aka Su Ku Kia), since when you got yourself a Hokkien name?!
Irene, you’re making life difficult for me.
mel, nabeh you’re truly beautiful.
minishorts, you expert already riteeee?!
sue, I won’t call this entry inspirational you know.
FF, nolah I’m not just speaking for myself. I’m speaking for ppl I know who have gotten it as well.
jade, you don’t wanna read a blank screen do you? haha.
Pok ku, *cough* whaddya mean PLEASE MYSELF?!
LeFire, gee what were you thinking of Malaysians before then?
FireAngel, admit it. You just want a free dildo.
Javalier, slow postings? I thought posting almost once a day is frequent enough. A man’s got a 9-to-5 job you know.
Reta, go sit in a corner now and reflect on what you just did. 😛
Jing, you called them…. TURKEYS?!
desperate addict, you can grope my ass if you want.
USB, I write funny blogs because ppl like it and i like it when ppl like it so the end result is that I’m happy. So yeah, I’m blogging for myself. Heh.
cenwen, thanks for pointing that out to me. Heh. where’s my singaporean passport?
Wanyi, why would I accuse you for whoring your site? I’ll just accuse you for whoring. 😛
suanie, you took advantage of me!
chris, only if their food order comes in 10 minutes.
Clara, yea. I should please myself. 😀 No wonder minishorts said blogging is mental masturbation.
me, I won’t say that it doesn’t affect me. It always does.
Lainie, my birthday’s on 27th November. Can I expect presents in the form of a glimpse of Nessa’s ass? 😉 Thus far, I have 156 entries. About 10 of those were never published.
woah, what are the chances of that? you posting the same time as me?!
Cindy! You’re more than welcome to site whore here. 🙂
Learn from Xiaxue! Use the “who cares” tatic! Tested & proven!
The impression of nobody is perfect can be used in this instance. not only on this but on all issues. Nobody can please every single person. There is a hatred and jealousy that arouses no matter how much you want to try impress others. Everyone can feel it in real life, is part of life, enduring through it and pushing through it.
Honestly it is afterall your own blog.
You can’t change the way how others want to percieve it to be.
hahaha. so true, so true. funnies, funnies. hard to win huh?! so who’s de winner now? and what’s their price? a toaster? a rice cooker?
Happy Birthday to your blog, and never stop blogging, buddy!!
see there, kenny? this time i remember not to leave yer box anonymous, *grin* and i just filled in my blog’s add as well. hehehehe im a site- whore. woo hoo.
Contributions? Got! But not relevant lah.
Ehem ‘every day’ is spelled ‘every day’, not ‘everyday’.
Man! I’ve got not life…..
FUNNY
Urrmm. No dude, your bloglitically-correct blog is too blue. Blue is like, so gay.
Kenny, you must be just born yesterday
writing those statements.
Half of the people around you are morons.
or even half of the visitors in your site
are morons too.
People are natural born with those sick attitude
towards one another.
welcome to the new world.
blog about yourself, people say you narcissistic
blog about other people, people say you judgemental
by the way, my birthday’s just a day before yours
(wah, jangan jangan terbuka tin cacing – now ppl gonna say, big deal la, my birthday is 184 days before kenny’s)
heh. you know what they say – if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. start bitching about people here lah. i just got a troll on my blog. read the comment i got for my post on the idiot. someone reckons it’s kenny-related. i find it hilarious. LOL.
Couldn’t help but notice your birthdate (same same!). My my.. Ppl born on that date are unique leh. *lol* Which year ah?
OMG. U just blog out my exact thoughts.
By the way, you’re on Global Voices Online.
your very ‘zen’ screenshot is just so appropriate! good that we have at least one witty blog to read 🙂
i am also a curtin grad 🙂
yes, the campus is vast. i get lost in it even when driving! i think that perth is boring, but i do miss the fish & chips there. 🙂
“If you write about your liberal lifestyle, people will say you’re a sex-crazed attention-seeking exhibitionist slut who enjoys baring your titties on the Internet.”
eh i perasan la. Are you talking bout moi here? 🙂
yo… like your blog. Keep it up.
Nasty comments always surface, so don’t worry about it. U are not here
to please everyone, so just be yourself. I’m the boring one haha…
Good job *pat Kenny’s back*

April 26, 2006. The purpose of the meeting was
I couldnÒt sleep last night, but sheÒs been completely fine
lol. stummbled upon this old post. cant be anymore true.
Absolutely true it is!!!
Well. Since these people always complain about what you write. Then i doubt they’re gonna come read your blog again. So just ignore them like they didn’t even existed.
However, if they leave bad comments more than once, that means that they, just like one of us, are one of ya blog-addicts. He/She’s just probably jealous. Muahahah.
teens pussy close pussy
gawd,i applaud u.
true! bravooo. 🙂
Good one, very true!
wow. I mean…wow.
