Would want to rant this on 17th July (sunday) aft reading abt da above article in THE NEW PAPER but i forgot ehehe..
In THE NEW PAPER on Sunday, there was an article wif da headlines: "Bloggers, beware! U can be sued for wat u blog!"
WAT?! Tat serious?!! Besides a blog is a personal journal and hence, it gives da author every carte blanche, perrogative and liberty to write on any subject matter he/she wishes and with no mandatory need to adhere to grammatical conventions or political- correctness.
Granted, blogging is a communal activity and it does exist on a continuum. A spectrum of bloggers with an infinite style of writing, choice of subject matter and cultural context. But do Singaporean bloggers have to be juxtaposed as belonging to the 'basilect' and 'acrolect' category? Is there a blog police who intends to impose mental colonization? No one deserves to be judged by the appearance of one's blog, one's language or one's way of thinking. Tats wat I think abt a blog.
Anyway, due to blogging, strangers could actually understand us more for our feelings are all let out in the blog. Sometimes I tried to blog something personal but I thought twice about it. What if it could caused misunderstanding? Just like my SENSASI Story?
I knw wat so great about blogging is tat people could acknowledge wat we think of something coz we don't knw how to say it verbally in the public. But blogging's suppose to be a public spot too right? Just like what happened to SPG and Xiaxue's blogspots. Because of something "special", their blogs were hits of thousands maybe millions of people around the world. Everybody knows you because of your blog.
//For SPG, she posted nude pics of herself in her blog. Den she became famous. For xiaxue, she won Asian Top Blogger Year 2004, hence she became famous. //
So i'm wondering..aft i rant abt tis, will I get sued? Ehehe.. Or will i get popular becoz of wat i blogged? Hmm..
P/S: MANJA AUGUST ISSUE IS OUT!! TAUFIK'S IN DA COVER AND NOT FORGETTING MY COMPANY'S ADVERTISEMENT, which i cant rem da page. Aiyah if u c da top says: FLAT RATE! Tats my company's advert.
