More Bloglitics.
If you write about people gloating over their first cheques from Google AdSense, people are gonna get upset thinking you have something against people who put up Adsense on their blogs.
If you write about the Singaporean blog culture being mature, people are gonna say you think Malaysian bloggers are immature.
If you write about Singaporean bloggers being treated more seriously in their country, people are gonna say you think Malaysian bloggers are inferior.
If you befriend Xiaxue, people will think you are Xiaxue.
If you attempt to find out what good points the Singaporean blogosphere have over the Malaysian blogosphere, people will think you’re trying to complain, or compare, or change. And change = very bad.
In short, don’t write anything good about Singapore, or Australia, or about any other countries. Or else people will think you have something against your own country.
Because I was misunderstood when I wrote in long proper English sentences, I hereby write my reaction to that in short simple English.
Head -> Wall
Gun -> Temple
Knife -> Heart
*sigh* At least I still have friends.
I looked back at my archives when people said to me they prefer my older entries and realised – shit – they’re right. I thought I was writing about my personal life, but for so long I’ve been writing about blogs and meeting other bloggers.
I think its difficult since the precise reason why I went to KL and Singapore was to attend the PPS gathering and to meet up with friends I made over the Internet.
The trip was memorable to say the least and I was fascinated in so many ways about difference in culture when it comes to blogging. When I returned to Kuching, I decided to document all these down as soon as possible before I forget them. What I didn’t realise was that the topic can be quite dry to some.
It then comes down to blogging for myself vs blogging for an audience. I used to be able to balance them pretty well but lately I’ve been leaning towards the former. As a result I see (constructive & destructive) criticisms rolling in. Sorry I subjected some of you older readers to the torture. I shall seek my balance again.
