Almost spot-on
My conversation with The Pianist was diverted for a while last night.
The Pianist: Wah ur blog quite ganas, so many people waiting to pounce on u
minishorts: yeah lah it's like that one. For some reason people just like to wait to see me flop. And when I flop, or when I seemingly flop, people will jump for joy and shout in glee
The Pianist: dun understand y u blog leh. so tau-kak-tia
minishorts: dunno. release stress.
The Pianist: Get more stress lah. I read also I feel stress.
minishorts: hehe.
The Pianist: What for put yourself out like that to let people bash. siao ah?
minishorts: aiyah I try to imagine no one is reading my blog. besides it comes in handy when i have something to say to my friend.
The Pianist: your friend Vincent, did you talk to him first?
minishorts: aiyah of course lah.
The Pianist: what did you tell him lah?
minishorts: forgot looo… few days liao.
The Pianist: ?
The Pianist: Then you blog that for what.
minishorts: dunno just felt like it
minsihorts: actually I had something more important to say to him and I hope he understands it.
The Pianist: oooo.
The Pianist: Your readers also damn stupid lah. What they want you to do?
The Pianist: don't friend your friend because he is stupid?
The PIanist: *some of your readers
minishorts: i think they wanted me to shut up and mind my own business.
The Pianist: Then why don't they mind their own business leh?
minishorts: hai
The Pianist: Still don't get the blogosphere. Why so many people like to talk crap?
minishorts: freedom of speech mah. how i know?
The Pianist: Stupid like hell. Especially of your readers, no offense ok.
minishorts: haiya… i think they r doin me a favou you kno?
minishorts: favour
The Pianist: ?
minishorts: 'tell her she's wrong and bash her up maybe she'll hide and cry and learn how to shut up or say things that people will like.'
The Pianist: Ok but if want to tell you that you're wrong they can always write to you properly mah. why so personal?
minishorts: well a lot of people think they are my best friends. i think. that they know me from ten thousand years ago.
minishorts: they think
The Pianist: Mad one …nothing nice to say, don't say anything lah.
The Pianist: Like shut up will die like that.
minishorts: maybe that's the case leh…
minishorts: actually i too cannot understand why izzit that i make so many people angry, and so many people hate me, but they still want to come in and say something.
The Pianist: Attention Deficit Syndrome
minishorts: got such thing?
minishorts: i try hard to think like this ok, at least some people are so nice and kind enough to take the trouble to comment tell me how i should live my life.
The Pianist: It's damn wuliao lor. They don't know you also.
minishorts: aiyah i tired of telling ppl this adi. let's talk about your progress.
The Pianist: Yeah quite boring. talk about my progress.

Why can’t it be something as simple as trying to correct a misconception ? You’re a public person, and your opinion does get read by the public.
You were trying to twist the issue out of context, and you were defending the indefensible mistakes of your friend, at the same time barbing your ‘On Vincent’ article with hidden insults.
You had to go all the way to post a new entry just to massage your injured ego.
I guess the Chinese saying ‘Borrow knife to commit murder’ really applies in this case.
You can write well that I’ll give it to you. But refrain from trying to do the job of a lawyer.
You’re better at writing than reasoning.

“a lot of people think they are my best friends”
Exactly.
The opinion spew is really just a collection of hardons experienced by random strangers from the paradoxical intimacy they get just by reading a comments-enabled website.
Whatever happened to reading something, having a chuckle, a hmmm or a headshake and then moving on?
The comment box. It’s the virtual equivalent of an unsupervised sandpit for blind children.
You appear to be taking it a whole lot better than you used to. Good job.

‘minishorts: yeah lah it’s like that one. For some reason people just like to wait to see me flop. And when I flop, or when I seemingly flop, people will jump for joy and shout in glee’
Yeah, I know how that is … I once spelt Schroedinger wrong in someone’s comments section and … um … doesn’t matter.
[You know I'm just being funny!]
‘The Pianist: What for put yourself out like that to let people bash. siao ah?’
Because it is important for some of us to be honest and real, even if it means being pounced on.
‘The Pianist: Your readers also damn stupid lah. What they want you to do?’
People can’t help being born stupid. I have an IQ in top 1%, and I do stupid things all the time … it’s part of the fun of being human.
‘The Pianist: Still don’t get the blogosphere. Why so many people like to talk crap?’
One persons crap is another persons cash cow. Look how much money you can make selling manure … yet so many of us chose to flush it away … different values for different things - horses for courses as they say.
‘The Pianist: Stupid like hell. Especially of your readers, no offense ok.’
Stop calling me stupid!!!
Anyway, like the studies have shown, 50% of all on-line messages/e-mails/comments etc get misunderstood. A lot of people think someone is having a go at them, when in fac they’re just trying to be supportive.
Often, we talk about things, and we just want to rant, talk or whatever, and people think we are after solutions to our problems, as such they offer solutions.
Other times, some of us like to be funny. [I am too funny, stop calling me stupid!] and other times we just want to offer a different view to help people see things from a different perspective. [After all, we only have perceptions of reality, and even though a reality exists, it may be totally different from what we are understanding from our own view point.]
Of course, some pople just like the sound of their own typing.
That’s my two cents worth …

your problem is you think you’re everyone’s best friend. and seriously you must be the worst self-proclaimed friend ever.
“But Vince is definitely someone I’ll trust as a friend for many, many years to come. Online insanity aside.”
Yes, before vincent finds out what an unfaithful, self-absorbed person you are. You could have done better keeping what you think of vincent to yourself, then making him a complete fool out of the post (disguised as a token of friendship haha) that contains so much things that malign him. you may or may not be aware of this, but whatever vincent has put forward all these while have been deemed invalid by your mere reasonings in “On Vincent”. He’s just a kid, you say….so much for supporting a friend. Here’s a suggestion, keep your nose out of people’s business, especially your “friends”, because you’re not helping. Not even yourself.

I think you are doing a good job with your blog and keeping your sanity!
Kudos to you.

March 9th, 2006 at 6:09 pm
having the ability to comment on anything and everything online brings out the best in us… and also the worst.

March 9th, 2006 at 7:01 pm
Aiya, why bother what people say or even if people want to see you flop.

Are hotpants = panties, so when minishorts doesn’t wear hotpants she also doesn’t wear panties?
March 9th, 2006 at 11:04 pm
Aiyayai! So much ado over some views! I also took the unpopular stand that the petrol price increase was inevitable but of course most of the folks went over to Vincent’s blog to kacau and left me alone! There is some odd humour to be found here, although at the moment I can’t quite put a finger to it. Adios!
