why would i want to blog?

hm.. with the recent 'who-hahs' about blogs these days, why would i want to blog? one big main reason is that i'm bored. i'm so NOT used to staying in tucson in the summer. for the past 2 years at this time, i would be back home searching for the best eats (typical of a singaporean), running around town, spending time with my grandma (she's amazing, one that i can talk crap to and plus we have a big-time favourite--WINE). whenever we have any family gathering type of occassions, there will definitely be wine in the fridge and one of uncles used to joke.."hey, better don't drink too much, i don't want a brother or sister at this age"

oh yah, not to forget, singapore sale is starting soon, that means 1 more agenda on my to-do list if i'm back-- big time: SHOPPING.

So anyhow back to the main topic on the blog (get used to it! we women, have a gifted talent: divertion of topic). i'm gonna just blog till i get tired of it: no committments. also, to avoid any lawsuits, i'm gonna do what a particular blog writer has suggested:

1. Use acronyms

2. Try to sandwich your myopic, discriminatory, bigoted, simplistic, shallow world view between two jokes. The first one will loosen people up before you unleash your comments. They might be stupid enough to think it is a continuation of the first joke. The second joke is to make sure they laugh it off and forget what you wrote.

3. For every offensive comment, balance with a positive one so that the net effect of your writing is zero .ie. you have not made the world a worst place to live in.

4. Even better, if you write something negative about a person, follow it up with something positive. It is like slapping an irritating baby, and just as it is about to wail, stuff a sweet into the mouth. Then you can be amused by the combined action of the suckling mouth and watery eyes.
5. Don’t make defamatory remarks. Yes, you didn’t think of that huh? You can actually avoid being sued for defamation by not making those comments! Keep them to your conversations with your imaginary girlfriend to be safe. Trust no one!

6. Don’t gossip, don’t spread lies! I usually spread exaggerated truths instead. For example if a friend is fat, I won’t lie and say that she/he is thin instead I would be truthful and say that she/he weighs a ton after rounding up. Since truth is subjective, you might not be sued.

7. Don’t speculate about the establishment. Always have solid facts to back yourself when you are writing. So if I were you, I would not write about the possibility of the 6th casino in Singapore in the future and focus on the 5th one instead.

okay, since i got the above from someone else's website, it is citation time -- Ziyang, Tan. (2005, May 10). Nightwish. Retrieved May 31, 2005, from http://xialan.blogspot.com/)

p/s: schools in United States are big on citation, esp business schools. after 3 yrs in college, this is when i put one of my skills to work.
also, most of the time, i would blog in lower case, if you see any upper case words, it means im either excited, annoyed, desperate or piss off big time!
