Fem-Blog Reading, my favourite vice

LAU NUA v.,n. tasty, or in Kuching-speak, saliva falling down

Lately, I have been spending more time reading people's blogs than writing on my own. My favourite blogs tend to be the ones that offer alternative, semi-rebellious, semi-suicidal views on life. These (disturbed) bloggers are normally people who are too intelligent for their own good.


Hence, their blogs are so much more fun to read. They have unorthodox leisure pursuits that border illegitimacy. You'll find them experimenting with unfiltered tobacco, mentally draining themselves silly with rants about other people's petty faults, or starting an obsession on an obscure subject. I love them. To me, they pack in more humour and intellect than the average joe bloggers.

Blogs on quest for the meaning of life, how to mend broken souls, and other heart wrenching stories take (a far distant) second place on my blog-reading time. I usually read them after I am done reading all the comments on kennysia entries. Coughs.

But now, I have discovered a new blog-love... fem-blog. Call it what you like. Fem-blogs generally focus on seemingly major female issues like nose-jobs, handbags, lousy ex-bfs; issues which men usually (mis)identify as idle chit-chat.

I use the word "focus" loosely here, because focus is usually the last word you'd associate with fem-blogs. They write on anything that take their fancy, from what they had for breakfast to... erm... just about anything. A bit like Sisuahlai you might say.

The fem-blog reigning champion has to be the Queen aka si-bei-kao-tzeng.... wait.... (applause)... wait (dim light) and wait... tah-dah (now spotlight ON!)... Miss XIAXUE. But for me, the new fem-blog of January 2007 would most definitely chik-pak persen have to be....

... Miss anna NICOLE TAN smith.

She describes herself as a simple person and someone who loves to make friends. I swear I heard that before.

I won't call her YOUTUBE pillow talks series insightful. Ok, it's really quite pointless, but they are fun(ny) to watch. She can ramble like her life depends on it. A definite candidate for the Queen of boh su cho-land.

She's such a cute lass, you simply can't find the stomach to crinch at her videos. Her uncontrolled honesty is charming.

I have now added another blogger on my list of people I'd love to meet one day over a fine bowl of Sarawak laksa.

Sisuahlai.
