For those who only visited my blog now, you have missed an exciting show. If you realised, the chat box had been replaced. I had deleted some comments left by an uninvited guest. This is afterall my blog and I only want to keep things that I want to remember in my blog.
I had told Daddy Lim that I will blog about the event and will try to stay neutral. Uber hard lor. I can already feel sacasism in my blood. Hohoho.
So, it all started with the post on "Genting". My SIL got upset of the post. I noe she reads my blog. I gave her the URL when I started this blog so that she can read about my perspectives and how I feel. I have to agree that the Genting post was laced with sarcasms but maintained that it isnt offending. I qualified what I said and make it known that it was an assumption if I didnt know the fact. This is not the 1st time that I had such an issue with my SIL. She suggested for a talk and I agreed. So we both made time and chatted for an hour on the phone, trying to make things work. The topic drifted from that particular post to family issues. There are too many issues swept under the carpet in our family. I bet it is bcos there are too many ladies in the family. We women are such delicate and sensitive creatures that need to be handled with utmost care. And of course that hour doesnt solve most issues, but at least I het to hear her and she got an understanding of why certain things turn out as they are.
Time was precious and we had to make do with what we have. We even agreed that we should have dinner one day and I made a mental note to invite her when Daddy Lim comes back from night shift. I was glad for her openness and that she seems to feel better. I was sorry that she got upset at my post but maintained that what I blog is how I feel and here is nothing very wrong in what I wrote.
However, little do I know that while I was trying to make things work with my SIL, somebody left a whole string of comments in my blog, flaming me. To think that I actually got a good night sleep, happy that I had a good talk with my SIL and was informed by a friend the next morning of the ugly comments that she left.
Hohoho, given my character, you think I will remain silent? This is my blog leh. Of course I responded and am sarcastic as usual. I dun see the point of being polite. I think it is so brave for that somebody to do such a thing. I could have easily disintegrated each and every one of her comments and rebuked her. Her argument was seriously flawed. I could even dedicate a post to rebuke what she has wrote and I noe I would win bcos this is my blog and her argument wasnt strong. But no point, I dun want to start a war here and dirty my blog.
But for awhile, my blog became so interesting with all the flaming. I think I gained fame and if my counter works, maybe the no. of visitors to my blog to read the Genting post actually increased? Hohoho. I tot only popular bloggers get "hate" mails/ comments. Maybe I am that popular? ;p
Joke aside (but the whole thing had been a big joke!), it has been made known that the somebody's comments are not appreciated or welcome. I will continue to blog about my opinions, perspectives and how I feel in my blog. Otherwise, why keep this blog? I dun mean to upset people but what is it in my post that upsets them? That what I blog about is factually wrong? Or what I said is true but it pains one to see it all in black and white here? If is makes things better to be blind, then I rest my case.
