i agree with something that someone said. well obviously i don't rem'ber who that someone is.. maebe its shereen? but i'm sure it someone from ngee ann.. well anywayz, she said sth like "mass com ppl keep trying to be different and that's what makes them all the same". how true! i've heard so many things abt 'em.. bitchy.. fakey.. etc.

but one thing that i've found to be SO PREDICTABLE abt these ppl is that they're ATTENTION-SEEKERS = they don't just work in the media field, they make use of the media to gain fame for themselves.. even though they ACT (fakey) like they're not.

one such example? xiaxue.

well i have nothing much against her really, as in seriously.. i even think she has got pretty nice clothes (like that smocked & ruffled GREEN tube dress with tie straps from forever 21 - which is abt the only thing she wore that i am mad about >_<). BUT. one thing she did made me feel like.. "Bah.. just another TYPICAL mass com product".

i tried to put myself into her shoes.. esp when lianhe zao/wan bao posted her pretty pic up there and the words "Sarong party girl" were pointed at her. with all the words like "NUDE" and stuff out there, i fully agree its not sth xiaxue would like to be proud of - she has a physically clean image (plus the even tan) :P except for the mouth bit - which is aired on her blog.

but hey. isn't this kinda obvious and predictable?:
she sells her sad, frustrated, pathetic story to ALL of her fans who read her blog. they sympathize with her. she has that "i can't take it anymore" tone to show that "i am going to suffer from a nervous breakdown". everyone reads, believes and.. for once, she seems to be affected by the people who hate her, the things that are going wrong in her not-so-perfect life.. (perhaps to her, this kinda happens like once in a million years only).

so.. what i predicted before she updated her blog with the post-frustration entry was:

1. she's only acting sad/frustrated to gain MORE support from her fans.
2. because she's attention-seeking.
3. SPG has lots of attention now. Publicity, whether good or bad, is Publicity. Of course, many would still prefer GOOD publicity.
4. whatever i just said came true. she received 250 encouraging emails from fans. a few days later, she updated her blog with an entry that went like "BAH! nobody's gonna get me down".
5. voila. her purpose and mission is accomplished. to prove to the world that xiaxue is STILL the blogging queen even though she has won 2 blogger awards and her fan-ship has not sunk and that she is not threatened by the presence of SPG.

the truth is, she is already bothered by it all. if not, she wouldn't have started with the sad/frustrated/i-can't-take-it-anymore post.

well. what's more important is that this issue shows... her fans believed her. gullible and naive, they don't know what the fakey, "i-would-lie-to-get-what-i-want" world is like. so much for reading ppl's blogs because "they are real". in actual fact, we'll NEVER know how accurately true is anyone's blog in relation to REALITY.

hail xiaxue. her fans love it. she loves it.

i must say it is still amazing to have people who are HOOKED onto ur blog and with viewership that goes into the thousands everyday :)

anyway, updates abt today. i bought my 2nd rainbow umbrella!! 8 bright colours to shelter me from the rain! :) PLUS+++ peacock feather earrings! woohoo.

and i can't believe it! esplanade charged me $21 for a one-year membership that allows me to borrow CDs and music scores. T_T
