Through my eyes.I've been pretty much oblivious to the on-goings in the blogosphere. After all, i understand that i cannot control what people want to say about me, but there comes a time when enough means enough. Even if i can't stop people from being blatant bullies, the least i can do is blog about it.
I think most of you would know about a so-called feud between me-wendy-celly and bm. Not asking anyone to say who's right who's wrong, but pls, see the picture from my eyes first.
A friend msned me one night and told me that bm mentioned me in her blog. Out of curiosity, i asked my friend for her URL (i've never even heard of her before, let alone read her blog) and i saw some stuff about her saying that she doesn't want to be associated with us cos "if you've read them one, you've read them all". That comment , i felt, was highly insulting to a blogger. We may not all be good writers; i wld be the last one to proclaim that i write well, but i have my own style - no big words for me, i keep my language simple. We do share a common trait, yes, we post pictures of ourselves, but does that make us less worthy as individual bloggers? She then proceeded to call me and wendy "stupid" cos we weren't paid for the Maxim shoot, and that we "bared our breasts" for nothing.
(I really can't be bothered to link all her posts up, so believe me if you trust me.)
Yes, we were in bikinis for Maxim, what's the fuss?
Ever seen girls in bikinis at Sentosa?
And so what if we weren't paid? I'm not a professional model, neither is wendy. All i was looking for was a fun experience, and though the pictures didn't turn out that great, it was definitely good fun. I'm 20, been interviewed by just about every local newspaper/magazine, how many 20 year olds can claim that? Or perhaps i can even scare my future husband with my scary maxim pic a few years down the road. ;P
I was upset about the comments she made (who wldn't?) but i kept quiet. Kept telling myself that i have to be used to this, afterall, the blogosphere's full of flamers, is it not?
Then came another msn msg from a fellow blogger the next day. BM wrote about how the makeup artist and hairstylist for Her World couldn't differentiate celly and me, and thus proves that the pics we post are different from what we look like in real life. My blogger friends who've seen me, is this true? I do not think my real self differs much from my pics, but then again, thats just my personal opinion. And fyi, BM probably hasn't even seen me, not that i know of anyways.
At this point of time, i feel silly writing about this. Does any of this matter at all? But i just have to get this off my chest.
I took the childish way out, i have no qualms about admitting it. Impulsively, i made sarcastic remarks about her age, and apparently it hit a sore spot.
Celly was with her friends at Wala on monday, and coincidentally i arranged to meet a close friend there as well. I had just left house at about 9.30pm when i received a call from Celly. She sounded extremely upset over the phone. What follows is our conversation over the phone, to the best of my memory.
Me: Hello?
Celly: Babe are u coming wala tonight?
Me: Yea i'm supposed to meet Pam there. Why?
Celly: I'm there already, and guess what happened? I was at a table with my friends when this guy came up to me and asked me if i blog. i said yes, then he asked me if i'm sillycelly, and if i knew the woman standing beside him. And It's that BM gal!
Me: Whahahahha!
Celly: Don't laugh, i'm so angry i tell you! The first question she asked me was "So, you have a problem with my age? I tell you, if u look like me when u're my age, then you're a F***King MAIDEN.
Me: (shocked) huh? then what did u say?
Celly: I was too stunned to say anything, of cos! then it turned out that her friend knew my friend, so the few of us started talking. Then she turned to my friend and said "Get your f***king friend away from me."
Me: .............
Celly: So rude right? I wasn't even trying to get near her! For Christ's sake, she's so plain looking, i didn't even notice her in wala, till she started saying all these shite to me.
Me: Tell you what babe, i'm already on my way now, i'll talk to you when i get there alright? Where are you now?
Celly: I'm in Tango.
Me: Alright. bye.
Previously i had been chatting with Wendy online, and had asked her to join me and Pam at Wala (we were both bored to death at home) and she declined saying that she was too tired (that lazy pig.) Gave her another call in the cab and told her what happened between Celly and BM, and she was outraged, as i was, and both of us agreed that it was undeserved, and definitely uncalled for. With strange newfound energy, she agreed to meet us at Wala.
Stopped by Tango before heading off to meet Pam and Wendy, where i heard a detailed account of the story. Shook my head countless times. Is this how a 30 year old behaves?
*slaps self* fine its none of my business. Back to the story.
Hung out with Pam for a while. Wendy called and i went downstairs to meet a very angry her. Apparently she was just walking down the slope when BM and her guy friends saw her. One of her guy friends stomped his umbrella on the ground and started making woohooing noises (pls, not another immature 30 year old pls.) Wendy ignored and looked in the other direction. BM walked past her and screamed "WAH.... XIAXUE... CH**BYE AH!!!"
I believe she blogged about this, and she seems proud. Since when has screaming vulgarities in public become something to be proud of?
*slaps self again* (none of my business!)
Yes, there was a small conflict with her over the Her World shoot. But the way i looked at it, she blogged about how she doesn't want to be associated with us, that was how she felt. I, in turn childishly blogged about how i do not wish to be associated with such a person too, and left it at that. But to scream vulgarities at my friend in public is downright atrocious behaviour.
Wendy's blog personality is not to everyone's liking, i understand that. But she is a personal friend of mine, and a outgoing girl whose silly jokes makes me laugh. And that's all it takes for me to be her friend. Everyone who met her at cowboy's wedding liked her, and they're a tough bunch to please ;)
And as far as to my knowledge, we did not set up any hate site or whatsoever. It's ridiculous, I don't even have time to blog here, let alone manage another blog.
I'm tired, and i've written my piece. You guys say whatever you want, really.
Something to say? =)
