On Xiaxue

Just read Xiaxue's blog; courtesy of the convenient link on Mal's blog. Yes, prior to this, I have never visited it. Not even when my male friends were gaga over her views and life (over mine). Not even when the whole varsity world was gaga over her views and life.

*the singlish colloquiel of "crazy"

I have never visited her blog cos I never saw a point (how different can views on mundane issues get???) and now that I have, I do. I see how pointless it is. Plus how right I was.

Even if I am unbiased (which I am!), her opinions are at best, ordinary. Though her entries are quite hilarious, it is only because she chose to be singlish and crude, anything like that interests the average Singaporean. And for army boys (who form the bulk of readers'), anything "lian" interests.

Perhaps it also helps to know about 60% of varsity students are Engineers and Scientists. And most Engineers and Scientists are male. BTW, we indulge higher learning precisely to try to diplomatize the profane and crude.

Her fans obviously don't get to speak to an NUS Arts girl much. Cos if they do, they will soon find that almost every FASS girl can rattle off the same opinions (in speech mind you) the same way Xiaxue can shoot her "fingers" off; and still have excess time for more constructive endeavors. And with theatre studies, some of them can act boisterous.

It makes me wonder if these people who follow her blog religiously have their own minds. If they do, how empty is it really that they can find something, in views so ordinary, to admire?

Then again, most Singaoreans are contented living life vicariously. And they probably just wanna experience glam through hers. But through a bummer's life??? How deprived are they, really?

The only reason I can imgagine she won an International award for her blog is the way she writes; she certainly makes her points quite easy to comprehend. But then, only the itellectually deficient can fail to understand what she is trying to say after reading through the AMOUNT she writes!

Especially since most of her points are repetitions of repetitions.

And how can any guy stay attracted to someone this boisterous? Don't they need rest? My guess is that she doesn't talk in her sleep and while having sex; then she obviously acts better than she blogs.

Or perhaps the reason Mike (her Ang-moh bf) takes off back home this often may be secretly due to the fact that she really talks this incessantly!?! He probably needs a break every now and then to escape her never-ending views and constant need to air them (if she still does outside blogging), unless of cos, she really acts better than she blogs.

And yes, someone will knock her plastic nose into an irreparable state eventually if she carries her views aloud with her (I heard she won't even shut up at surgery to give her surgeon some peace).

No, I am not saying these cos I am even the least bit jealous/envious of her fame.

For the sake of humanity, I hope her shot at international recognition is short lived. Can you imagine a world more interested in the trivials of a little girl than their own fucking lives?

Oh perhaps they visit her site cos she is quite a doll to look at.

But any girl can be pretty on her blog (it's HER Blog!) by investing half the amount of time she does on Photoshop or taking personal photographs. And any girl can half as pretty if she invests half as much as Xiaxue does on hair dye, nail polish, MASCARA and girlie dresses. Erm...and whatever else her tiny physique can have space for.

Then again, if her body doesn't have space, there is always still her huge blog.
