I woke up at 6am today (i know, how weird is that!) and did my laundry. Yes, i’m submitted to doing my laundry at either 2am or 6am on weekdays cos my mum or bro usually takes over the machines on weekends or i’m not in -_-

Quick links!

HanisTheManis has a blog :xwinky: So cute la the way she writes. Someone commented why am i sucking up to her. I’m thinking, “What do i get out of sucking up to a 17-year-old?!” Weird la some people.

Good God. It finally happened. I simply guessed someone would do this one day and he finally did! Some dude proposed to his girlfriend on a blog. Of course, not any old blog, but Kenny Sia’s. He looks kinda stiff though, from nervousness i guess.

I was watching a few of the BMW Shorties finalist films and some are pretty damn good! I can’t even decide which i want to vote for yet! The ‘7 Squared’ one made me think the girl was crazy at first. The ‘Sing in Rain’ made me laugh. But also, i can never get a good feel from hearing the song “Singing in the Rain” ever again after watching Clockwork Orange. There are 2 more days to vote. *click*

SuperstarAdlin has been generating brownie (damn, there’s a pun!) points by bringing yummy snacks like apple crumble to the office and giving everyone portions. He doesn’t make them of course. His fiancee Ayu does and she’s got a blog at Rude With Food.

You can order things like mud cake, carrot cake with cheese frosting, choc chip banana bread and loads more from her too. I think SuperstarAdlin should bring more to the opis so i can rave about it properly. :xlaughing:

Irman and Shermen have started this very cool party blog called Shoot Bang Bang. I know people out there aspire and have party photo blogs… but put their design + photography talent and wala! Fly looking site with pictures worthy of using on party flyers. Like Adrian Yap’s picture on the WILD flyer. Don’t think anyone could beat that though. :xshy:

 

Links Up Soon

Damn, my mind is all over the place but i’ll be posting some cool links up soon.

Dr. Mahathir has started a blog 0_o and it has 93,000 hits already.

Hanis replied my sms - “Joyce! Thank you so much! And no, I did not shed a single tear. I won third place with pride, i believe. Most precious thing i’ve gained, the love and support from u guys. Thanks for believing in me. Rudy is wicked cool! I listen to him and jj every morning. But i sedih i tak jumpa you at the final.”

How sweet is that.

I got directed (somehow) to ByteMuncher who bitched so hard on Malaysian Dreamgirls, the blog got flagged.

 

I Have Become A Facebook Slut.

Published on April 28, 2008 in Blogs. 5 Comments

After having Facebook infiltrate meetings when it comes to marketing all sorts of things, i decided that, what the hell, i might as well just approve all the pending requests i have on my account to optimize the number of people we’re trying to reach via web.

The reason i don’t confirm requests is usually because:
1. They put some stupid picture and i cannot recognise them from their full name
2. If it’s someone i cannot remember then yes, i do feel bad about it, but it would really take too long to msg everyone asking how/where/through whom i met them
3. And if it’s someone i met for two seconds and they add me… then lagi i cannot remember cos my memory is so bad..!!!
4. It’s someone i don’t remember cos i really don’t know them.

I thought of staring another FB account up for Kinkybluefairy, but it’s seriously too much effort.
Taking care of mine and Mr Elephant’s is enough 0_o

I’m adding them all under limited profile view… cos i don’t fancy (almost) strangers looking at my shameless party pictures that my not-so-shameless friends keep on tagging.

-_-

If you’re under my limited profile view and are feeling slightly dissed cos we actually know each other, pls drop me a msg…

I’ve clicked away at 50 already.
Wish i could hire someone to click a mouse for me >.<

Still have this much to go.

...

I think i’ll spread them out over the course of the next few days… or week la yeah.

What Rubbish.

In The Star today  -

“Bloggers, including those paid to write product reviews, should set their own standards of ethics.”

Wow. So three bloggers’ opinions count as every blogger’s?
Time and time again, i’ve repeated that bloggers who get paid for their posts/reviews/advertorials (whatever you want to refer them as) should possess some media credibility.

You say you’re not media, yet want to be treated a certain way? What?! Make up your mind! 

Reading the contradictions in the article made me scowl.
I already knew about the forum held yesterday when one of the PR managers who attended called me to share what atrocity he thought was being said.

Believe you me there will be retaliation on this subject from me and other individuals who do not feel the same way.

 

Ho Hum

That’s my reaction nowadays to hate comments: “Ho hum…” as i click to trash it away.

Away away away  hateful things!

I have a happy blog.
It doesn’t have need or space for spiteful sayings and green monsters.

Admittedly, my reactions differ at times.

Sometimes it’s, “What on earth are they talking about?!”
Cos it doesn’t make sense.
Then i delete it.

At times, i think, “Man. Some people are damn free.”
*click click*
Delete.

It’s like, so malas to retaliate, when what meaning to me does it serve?
Make me feel better? By justifying whatever?

I don’t understand why people would want to blow up negativities and pinpoint on them.
Oh wait. I do understand.
So you can bring someone down, make someone feel a tad worse than they do at the moment, and hopefully nearer to your spectrum of lowliness.
It’s as if by doing that, you can dust your hands off and go, “Ah! I feel good for the day! Showed someone else that life’s not so peachy after all.”

But why?
Whyyyyy

Spread the love and it’ll come back to you.
Like i always quip to my friends, “It’s all about the love, yo.”

Here, have a break, have a kit kat have a drink.
Cheers!

Cheers!

I’ve Been A Bad Blogger.

Published on February 25, 2008 in Blogs. 15 Comments

I recently thought of starting another blog, one where i can write the real rubbish that goes on in my head and won’t collide with advertorial clients.

What would the clients think? Me writing about my imaginary conversations and rescue missions of drowning ants in my bathroom? I should really be concentrating on proper posts, non?

Then another thought would crop up - that, wait, isn’t this what a blog is supposed to be in the first place? To write whatever i want to spurt and chuck online, to italize and to bold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, till disconnection do us part?

Then the thoughts would return -
ah-lah i cannot write all the random crazy shit i used to like last time because only three people read it then.

There was noone to judge,
no worries on whether people would read it only to get bored and wonder why the fuck is this girl always being featured for,
no care for whether my content would match my ads,
no censorship of the man in my life,
no deletion of comments because prying eyes and spiteful mouths were absent.

Now, it’s
wondering whether i should cut down my cursing,
censoring drunkard escapades because people point fingers and go, “What a wasteful life of partying you and your friends lead,”
talking to friends who are used to limelight to being told that rumour-mongering and backstabbing is normal and just to remember to stick to old friends (which in turn makes me think: shouldn’t everyone be given a chance at being a friend? not everyone is sneaky or bitchy),
trying to make sure i don’t make spelling or grammar mistakes so that people don’t go telling my eds, “Hey, that kinkybluefairy doesn’t know how to speak england” -_-,
cutting out my daily going-abouts because i don’t want it to clutter my blog,
and moderating these bitchy comments people leave which baffle me - so interested and so much time on their hands to dissect my posts and translate them into their own meaning of my life, have they.
******

Hmm halfway writing the post above, i ended up staring a new one with KinkyPugKevin helping me with the simple design.

Laughing

He said i’m making things complicated by starting a second blog.

I replied that it’s just to write my what-i-ate-today and inanimate-objects-i-spoke-to-today rubbish.
And that if it doesn’t work out, so be it.

Let me get into the groove of it first Blush then i’ll link it.
