psycho phil says that girls blogging about shit is plain weird... or at least that's what i think the *beep* is... so i shall blog about something else... the shit issue is over and done with... though i'm pretty sure the constipation will be back... till then... was just thinking... if there was one person in deep shit now... i meant that metaphorically... it has got to be Xiaxue... there... i did her a nice favour and contributed to her technorati rankings... but the thing is... she is probably the one person i wouldnt want to be right now... i wanted to be YXY coz he's smart... i wanted to be Oka coz he's probably the bestest and coolest windsurfer i've met... i wanted to be like... you know what i mean... xiaxue is probably like waist-deep in trouble... i reckoned i'd probably have to get the word "shit" out of my vocabulary else it stays in... for good! while she is famous, yes... i don't think that all publicity is good publicity... seriously... fame is okay... infamy is not... i vaguely remembered something that Quan Yifeng mentioned before... something that went along the lines of... "The smart celebreties get onto the covers of beauty/lifestyle magazines... (in a good way, of course)... The dumb ones get into gossip pages... and the bad ones, on the news... (you know, like wrecking their car or being charged in court...)" not the exact thing... but you get the idea... and Xiaxue is.... everywhere... which isn't a good thing... because where she is, really... is forums... in hate-sites... in her comment boxes... in other peoples' blogs.... like this... spaces on the internet... and like how my professor refuses to acknowledge web sources... coz they are just too many... too influential... and many are simply, crap... things get so distorted... that a once average girl... shot to fame, or infamy if you insist, just by having controversial postings about life and people... i'm not sounding entirely coherent... coz i'm stuffing tissue into my nose at the same time... but i seriously do not think Xiaxue is a bad person... she might have "Weird Facts" about her that probably add up to more than 5... like everyone else... really... everyone has ideals they keep to... principles that they are deep set on following... they might not be very correct... but hell.. it's all up to the individual... about her recent post on the toilets for the wheelchair-bound... i'm not saying that she was right... but i think that she is getting more flak than she deserves... she's only 1 year older than me la... i seriously wonder how she pulls through all these... i'll just end up crying every night... for this issue... i think she got started on the wrong foot... and it isn't that easy for her to salvage this bad bad situation... let's start with the parking lots for the wheelchair-bound... this is definitely a no-fight situation... coz they really do need the extra space to alight from their cars... and not having those lots would mean that they cant park and do whatever they want to... many times when i saw cars without the sticker parking in those lots... i really had an urge to nail their tires... but then i realised that if i did... they probably cant come out of their lot... and the real people who need that lot cant use them... so i tahan... i also hate it when people squeeze into the lifts at MRT stations... pretending nothing is freaking wrong when there is a wheelchair-bound individual waiting... or when there are people with children prams or things like that... i see it alot in the Sengkang Interchange... coz the lift is the fastest route from the LRT to the MRT... else it's 3 escalators away... i think it totally sucks when i see people do that... just goes to show how civic minded they actually ah... what were you doing during your Hao Gong Ming lessons?!?! actually i wanted to argue that the point about toilets for the wheelchair-bound is contestable... especially when the amount of time one takes to use a toilet is probably less than 2 mins... unless, of course, you are constipating... and the law of toilets states than constipating individuals shall not use the toilets that has a long snaking queue and only 2 cubicles, or toilets for the wheelchair-bound... but then i read this blog... who probably caused the loss of Xiaxue's two endorsements... then i was convinced about how the exclusivity of such toilets are so important to these people... once again reinforcing the point about how important multiple points of view are... such toilets need to be clean and dry... because the wheels come into contact with the floor... and wheelchair users have to use their hands on the wheels... so frequent usage of such toilets will cause them to become dirty and wet... we secretly know how we all love flicking water on the floor... and need repeated cleaning... thus making it even more inacessible to these people... then whats the point of having them in the first place... so there you have it.... Xiaxue is not right... but she's so young... so frank... so impulsive... give her a break... i would be very sad if i heard people laugh about me while reading my blog... i once saw guys who were really vocal about it in the NUS engin computer cluster... i'm sure she's having trouble dealing with all the anti-Xiaxue sentiment... and therefore screwing up even more of her ideas... so cut her some slack... afterall... who is providing the fodder for your daily entertainment? she is... just hopefully she'll see the err of her ways soon... her greatest punishment is not being able to go back to her life as normal anymore... having posted so many photos of herself... her online persona has probably taken over her real personality... so much so that it'll stick... especially in the minds of many... for some time to come... ----Stef stopped rambling at 14:31 --Link to Post |
