Re: Blogging
i cant stand people who cant blog in proper english. sure, use shortform but where's the grammar and tenses? sheesh.. it's a huge pain to read through gramatically incorect blogs. there are those who do so on purpose for a punchline or two. then there are those who probably cant speak properly in real life.
granted, there is something called freedom of expression. which is what i'm exercising right now.
personally, i dont even speak in proper english or mandarin most of the time, with my first proclaimed language being singlish. but i try to remember the basics of eng/chi my primary school teachers used to teach. it is with people who dont speak/blog/think (most of the time not mutually exclusive) properly that miscommunications occur. in my books, blogging properly doesnt equate to blogging cheem or even perfectly. blogging properly simply means i dont go "omg! did you even graduate from primary school?!" when i read your blog.
fel, xue and shan would say i exaggerate.

in what used to be the ideal world, i'd have resented all these. now with all the imperfections, dysfunctionalities and ever so often confusion and pain, i'm glad for the (more than) friendship. and that it is not anyone else who is sharing this with me.
