I LOVE PW~! Ethel too. But she loves it for a different reason from me. Hah.
Right. I so disagree that blogging is wrong, amidst all the rubbishy arguments against youngsters keeping an online diary.

Keeping a blog does not neccessarily means keeping an online diary. So you have no reason to go around complaining that teenagers nowadays would rather show their diary(something considered very private) to the rest of the Internet world than their parents. In any case, to most people, a blog is something like an online diary but the point is the stuff they write is not something like a diary. At least, it's not as private as a diary. So it's not that they would rather share they private thoughts with someone they know than their parents or something. Besides, we didn't lock our parents out from our blog right? It's not our fault if they are computer-illiterate ok. I'm not stopping my parents if they want (and know how) to read this rubbish I'm writing.

And the government is complaining that we teens are not speaking up right? Hello harebrains, a blog is DA purrrfect place to voice our dissatisfactions and complaints. So shut up about 'blogging is evil'.

And blogging can help in language ok. Although my english is still as rubbishy as ever. And although I admit that a lot of people do blog in teensy language. (I admit I was like that but obviously I've gotten over it)

Blogging has nothing, NOTHING(I think) to do with meeting new people, unlike IRC and stuff. I don't go on IRC now anyways. And it's not like keeping a blog will help you meet new people. What, you sign up with blogger, and poof! A stranger comes out and say hi? Rubbish. People can only read your blog if they KNOW the url ok. Unless they blog-hop,skip,jump to other places. And provided you are stupid enough to announce your contact details to the whole world so that they can come and harass you.

And I find it ironic that parents are warning us about the dangers of using the Internet too much. Especially those who are computer-illiterate. How can you warn someone about something's dangers when you know nuts about it? It means you're hearing from other people. I thought they taught us in primary school that to dao4 ting1 tu2 shuo1 is wrong.

Blogging has nothing wrong. Really.

And I was sitting at a neighbouring table to Michelle Chia and Shaun Chen!!! (and some of their non-celebrity friends, don't be scandalous.) he had her hair tied into a bun and she was very pretty in person. Shaun looked buffer but he wasn't clean-shaven(on purpose?) and I thought he looked quite awful.
