Interview

Q: When did you start blogging?

A: Not very long ago actually, it's not even half a year yet, in December last year.


Q: So, why did you start blogging?

A: At first, it was purely for my own readings and reminiscence, just like a diary. A few close friends started to read it. Somehow, overtime, more and more people found my blog and started reading. A few of them found them hilarious and they became regular readers.
However, it wasnt until this post , that my blog shot up in its readership.
It was shocking! I got quite stressed for awhile, but my friends encouraged me to just be 'myself' and blog on.


Q: I see your contents are of a wide range, sometimes controversial, sometimes tabboo-ish, like how you write about genitals and sexual issues. Aren't you afraid that your readers will perceive you as ' easy'?

A: Most people, Singaporeans included, missed the fine line between being 'easy' and 'open minded', I am absolutely the latter. But I do forgive people for getting the wrong first impression. However, most would on find out that I am not like what they think, either through observations or a tight slap in the face.


Q: So do you think you're pretty? *I tot she auditionin me for Miss Singapore sial*

A: Pretty? Hmm...As much as I'd like to think so, I'm just average looking.
I see pretty girls everywhere!!! Yes! I look and drool at them too. Chiselled faces, flawless complexion, nevereverending legs. I am nowhere near. But I hope to compensate my ordinary looks with my confidence, exuberance of energy and occasional charisma and wits.
Pretty is a very shallow description anyway.


Q: I heard there has been discussion among bigf**k, mr brown and other bloggers, that female bloggers post pretty pictures of themselves to attract readers. What's your opinion?


A:Females make the universal symbol for marketing. Girls and Boys, both love to see Girls.
Putting nice pictures up may help with the 'catching' factor. However, whether or not the reader makes a comeback, it'll solely depend on the writings.
If I primarily wished to flaunt my pictures, I would start only an online photo album and not a blog.

If there was a handsome male blogger who puts pictures of himself and his washboard, I'd check his blog out too! But if he's lame, then that's it. A one-off affair.


Q: So, with respect to this brouhaha, what's your standpoint on the 'Bimbo' entitlement to many female bloggers?


A: Doesn't apply to me.
Am I in anyway, a Bimbo?
Well, you're half right, coz I don't think I'm ugly. But you're half wrong, Coz I dont think I'm stupid!
Are other female bloggers bimbos? Maannnggg..... How I know?


Q: Would you put up sexy pictures, like in skimpy outfits, up on your blog to attract readers?


A: Majority of the pictures do not go below the neck.
I never see the point, the need, or the wish to pose under-dressed.
Most importantly, I don't have a bod like Fiona Xie's to flaunt.


Q: So, why do you think people read you blog?


A: I'd like to think that they read my blog because they find me interesting, different and sometimes hilarious. Although I must admit it is impossible to be THAT funny everyday. I am human after all. Also, people have a certain expectations on you after reading your funnier entries, this is inevitable.
As much as I try to keep up to their expectations, and of course my own, I know I can't make everyone happy all the time. It's gotta be natural, when I am the roll, I am on the roll, when I'm in the dipshit, I am in the dipshit.


Q: What's your main aim in blogging?


A: I'd like to make people laugh whenever I can. Or at least grin or chuckle.
It'd be great if I end up making them spurt out coke all over their screens.

I'd like to share some views or tips that I deem insightful to them too.


Q: Is blogging for your satisfaction or the readers'?


A:I guess I'd have to say that it's a reversible, two way lane. I am aware there are readers out there. I know I can write whatever I want, I do that, but I try to consider them as well with each sentence I write.


Q: Are there some stuffs you won't reveal in your blog?

A: Very personal issues, very controversial or provocative issues. I try to cover my ass as much as I can. Some materials can be a tad controversial but I try to bring them across with a much less serious and hopefully wittier manner. I haven't gotten myself into trouble, hmm.. yet.
I am also not under any scholarship .. so ya.. he hez...
