somehow, from our little red dot of 4 million people, we manage to generate about a tenth of the blogs on blogspot. this was deduced from using the "next blog" function at the top of most blogspot pages which, presumably, transport you to a random blog. and the VAST majority of these Singaporean blogs are... ugh.
like, "Scanning... no sigh of intelligent life-forms." Not intending to be mean or anything, just a commentary on our social landscape.
I guess i shouldn't expect to much from them. The typical Singaporean blogger is 13/14 years of age, almost always female, and almost always gushing over a certain guy in their life, with many xxx's and ooo's. most of them also seem incapable of rendering thoughts in standard english, or indeed in the standard 26-character cipher which comprise our english alphabet. it boggles the mind to decipher the mass of exclamations, amphersams, and other symbols cluttering up their sentences... not to mention the seemingly ubiquitous trend of typing each letter in triplicate... o wait, i mean tttrrriiipppllliiicccaaattteee. something like that. makes for rather hard reading.
like i said, i shouldn't expect too much. i probably wasn't thinking highly mature thoughts back then either. but i guess its the endless gushing over guys that leaves me a little scared as to what their idea of luurve as they put it, is. "eii willch luurve eeuu 4evuur" seems to be the refrain, and while i admire the sentiment, relationships are built on a whole lot more than just sentiment. they display emotion, but not too much in the way of EQ, and that's worrying. setting up for a fall so it seems.
plus, it makes the whole world think that singaporean girls are bimbotic airheads. and that's just sad. i guess its just that when i went blog-hopping, i was looking for something else... different perspectives on life, about how people think, about living life in some other country.... things to widen my horizons yeah? have been rethinking my decision to further my studies in sunny singapore....
