For Xiaxue
September 27, 2007 
Umm… how to start this…
Okay, I must admit that I feel pretty bad after reading Xiaxue latest entry ( was directed there… ).
I can somehow understand how she feels now.
I’m not trying to sound like a nice guy, nor to stir up anything again,creating hits…
And definitely not trying to win votes from her camp ( ha, check out the comment column in my previous post…)
Just wanna share my thoughts. So read it objectively.
Here we go.
I’m NOT good in my English… C5 for my O’s… ha…
I think I speak better (mandarin, of course), not writing (in English).
I guess I wasn’t able to fully relate what I mean by writing that particular post.
Or have I might have misread her post.
As for her case, it’s the other way round?
Better in writing than speaking?
I started to realize this when comment started pouring in after I publish the post. There are some that actually pointed out this point. True enough, I’m right in front of the camera almost everyday so kinda got used to it. As for her, it’s a totally different story.
Xiaxue mentioned that I did not approve her comment… I try very hard to recall (really, tried very hard…)
I normally approve all comments, even negative ones… unless it’s REALLY bad…
Then I suddenly recall something. *Spam mail*
I got in there and I found it sitting comfortably there. So drama huh?
This is what she wrote:
Hey Zhen Rong,
It’s XX here – just got directed to your site via a reader. Didn’t know you were a fellow blogger!
Anyway, I just wanted to clarify any sorts of animosity that might have been arisen by my blog entry.
You seem to take the comments I wrote as me taking offense regarding the questions I was asked, but I wasn’t offended, or even the least bit angry.
I was merely stating the facts as to what was asked that day, and I understand perfectly that you and Yifeng’s job is to probe for answers. I knew that when I went on the show it wasn’t going to be easy, and I was the one who chose to go on it anyway.
I like you and Yifeng very much and part of the reason why I went on the show is because I knew you two were reasonable hosts and made everything seem more fun. I’m not sucking up to you, this is what I really feel.
As for people being rude to me, I didn’t wish to say names, but obviously that would have to be Mr Cai accusing me of writing fake content for publicity. It IS rude of him, and anyone will be offended. I wasn’t talking about you or Yifeng.
Lastly, I apologize for spelling your name wrongly!! I’ve always known you as Xu Zhen Rong, and although you never knew this, you have always been my favourite DJ back in 1996 when I was 12 and you brightened my nights with Xian (xuan?) Ge Ji Yi.
*blush* YOU EVEN READ MY LETTER BEFORE!
There! You reduced me to a little girl again! I can’t believe my favourite ex-dj blogged about me.
All the best!
My apology for the misunderstanding… 
I’m not angry at all about the E and not A in my name, maybe it’s the way I phrase it? 7 out of 10 person would have got it wrong… I merely wanted to point it out to everybody.
We recorded the show, then you blog, then I blog…
I thought being who you are, label as ‘frank’ and ‘straight-forward’, you should be able to take it with a breeze and not ‘rolled eyes, raised eyebrow’ like what you mentioned in your post. But guess I failed to see a point…
Only until the episode was aired, then I realized you’re being ‘attacked’ in a certain way. Under such situation, maybe it’s unfair to expect ya to live up to my expectation. We could have been more sensitive towards how you would feel then…
Just be who you are and blog the way you want. I know your supporters like you simply because of who you are.
Comments
i think everyone is being retarded. they clear up not good meh. they post things about each other also not happy or happy. i mean like, it’s their blog and they can choose what they want to blog about right! And furhermore, who are you to silence their opinions? who cares about you ah! hahahaha. it’s all for fun and the things they write about are actually entertaining and intrigueing! if not happy than don’t read lah!(: easy. oh and i’m not particularly referring to anyone.
4 yearss agoI hope Mata comes and invite all crappy bloggers (who are hiding behind their PC picking at their noses) to a free Curry Rice Meal in Changi Village.
Peace will then be returned.. =)
Typical kiddie fight, mindless squabble situation.
4 yearss agoHmm… Whoever shout the loudest wins lor.
lol
i don’t know why lah har but i find this part when you said “Only until the episode was aired, then I realized you’re being ‘attacked’ in a certain way.” very touching. LOL!
4 yearss agohmm.. why didnt u approve that comment? it wasn’t attacking u ain’t it?
hmm so us as readers attacking other readers is alright but attacking maia would be “ugh that’s so wrong, that’s so inappropriate” eh? since u let comments about u or xiaxue go posted why not comments about maia? is she really that big? ugh
( if there’s anything u wld like to comment abt her, mayb u can try going to her site. Thx.. – from 22 )
4 yearss agogod knows if this comment will be read / posted, but here goes…=)
isn’t it amazing how celebrities are simply not allowed their own living (breathing) space? it seems as if celebrities are obligated to be PERFECT…speak the languages flawlessly, dress spectacularly, and behave appropriately…simply because they are “in the public’s eye”…
it appears from this whole hoo-ha that being a celebrity, the person no longer belongs to the normal stream of human beings. the alleviated status “naturally” equates losing of speech freedom and right. it also “naturally” equates that he / she has to be subjected to and endure public criticism, be polite / courteous 24/7, have a pleasent attitude / temper all year round, and basically BE a perfect, almost “Godly” human being (if that is ever possible), as mentioned before.
BUT, just because this person is a celebrity, really doesn’t naturally mean that he’s not allowed to speak his mind on his own blog, does it? wasn’t blogging supposed to be an outlet for freedom of speech (without violating the law of course)…so shouldn’t it be that no matter who the blogger is…he / she should be able to blog the contents he / she so desires without having to worry about the backlash of nasty comments from readers who disagree with the TONE of a particular post…read at your own risk, agree and continue reading, disagree and just leave. readers are of course entitled to their own opinions…BUT, please…keep your hurtful comments to yourself…if you do so wish to post nasty remarks with regards to posts you really stomach down, do so in your own space. blogs are easily attainable. stop cramping the style of bloggers who wish to be able to blog freely…you can be as candid as u wish over in your space. isn’t this the best for both readers and bloggers?
come to think of it, i wonder how the TONE of a post can actually be HEARD through reading texts online…isn’t tone about the way a message is conveyed through speech? the high and low pitches used when a person speaks? so it’s really just about how the reader intepretes what the blogger has written isn’t it? so readers, do some justice to bloggers…clarify before commenting. it really might not be what you think it means or for the matter of tone, what it SOUNDS like…
bottom line…let’s just cut celebrity bloggers some slack. it is their blog for god’s sake…give them back their right and freedom to speak their minds. i’m sure they know what is expected of them and what they should or should not do / say…
anyway, this was supposed to be a short comment, but i’m afraid it turned out to be a rather lengthy one…SORRY! =)
thanks for reading!!~
