The reason I blog-answering criticism
I was on msn last night. Someone introduced himself?herself? to me. I was asked the reasons why I blog. ” Talk about the truth. Talk about what we the citizens of Malaysia do not like. Talk about what the newspapers do not dare to publish. ”
My answer is simple or maybe not so simple. Maybe I do crap some in my posts, but basically my blog is middle-of-the-road. I do see what I don’t like. But I do see things which I like too. The world isn’t totally bleak.
If everybody craps about negative stuff, then the world will become more negative. I am also responsible for what I blog on my website which incidentally is a family-values based type of blog.
On the political front, I do not mind posting what I know to be true and posted on a reliable site but I cannot post accusations, innuendos on individuals which ‘everybody’ thinks is true or wants to believe is true.
Maybe the reason I am ‘luke warm’ is because I have been through some episodes. As a very young boy, I attended a rally where the opposition slammed the state government for wanting to build Komtar and the Penang bridge. A waste of government funds we were told. What bridge can withstand the salt of the sea?
Now the second bridge is deemed a necessity because the first one cannot cope with the traffic. We were told Komtar would be like a vulgar phallic symbol which would destroy the skyline of the island. It didn’t.
Notice I didn’t bring in any controversial stuff. The point I want to make is that there are always two sides of a coin. Both the government and the people have to see that. And after all has been said and done: it is up to ourselves to judge and evaluate a situation based on its own merits and demerits.
I am not pro or anti government or opposition. I am saying that I possess an open mind.
I took this pic early this morning.
As part of my diet, I stopped having rice for lunch but replace with pastries like these. The eclair was an absolute delight.
We received these from some neighbours. ( free )
I met a beautiful lady today. Look at her handbag. You can guess then she is a very syt sweet young thing. 18 years old, 1.73 and a knock-out. I greeted her and she smiled, “How’s Mrs Bengbeng?”Guess it is the price to pay for being married …..sigh sigh
For me, the reason I start blogging is to improve my english.
for me blogging is to have a say and having someone hear what i have to say
Bengbeng, please lah. Let grandma teach you!
1. Married man cannot call young girls, SYT cos can be misinterpreted for Sexy Young Tart!
2. Pastry is more fattening than rice. Go check up on calories in pastry (the amount of fat in it).
3. You blog the way you please as you are you and North, South, East, West, Bengbeng is the BEST!!
Have a great day!
Judy u r absolutely the best grandma in the world..can u adopt benghui as yr kekia?
My reason is same as Keeyit. And also it’s a joy when you write something and people will comment on it…sharing their experience and differences.
Have a goody good day, Bengbeng.
U r doing a good job. i am a regular visitor on yr blog
I concur. This is your blog after all. Not your readers blog.
yeah..sometimes i forget that
< /em> Thanks
I believe pastries have higher content of carbohydrate than rice.
iiks..so my diet will not work. judy said the same thing
You’re right about everything having two sides. From what I observe, sometimes the media and even bloggers don’t put up both sides of the story. Sometimes I’m also guilty of doing this.
It’s very hard to have an open mind. I guess it takes a maturity and willingness to accept that someone else could be right too.
Adino: on certain issues i prefer to let the water stop rippling and the dust settle before jumping in.
