ok.. so finally I have a post eh?
I just realised that my blog seems to be getting a bit neglected :( , but it is fine with me. This is just created to post my views and opinions and share some other events.

Today I read about this article about the consequences of careless blogging. Although employers have a point, employees still have the right to speak, or rather speak behind their seniors' backs. Blogs are just personal diaries, where one shares with other people. It is like writing a diary book and later passing it around. Gossiping will never stop, it is one of the enemies of any business. Even if blogging is monitored/banned/restricted, employees will still find a way to express their opinion.
However, one cannot seem to draw a line between what is suitable and what is not. For example, racist remarks. One might get pissed by another race because that fella' somehow cut the queue/purposely knock into the writer/do some other annoying stuff and want to rant about it. But in the process of letting out the anger (we are taught not to bottle up our anger), one might not be able to differenciate racism or just venting their anger. Due to that, many blogs have been shut down. This is also an extremely important case since Singapore relies on the many races to survive.

What has become a hobby turn out to be a platform for flaming/scrutinising/jeering. Also, blogs that are supposed to be accessed by just a group of friends will become a blog that is accessed by thousands of viewers daily, all thanks to media attention and the itchy nose of "moderators" trying to snuff out racism and unwanted materials.

Think about it. Is blogging now an ideal place for us to really voice our opinion?

Other than that, the day ended normally.

Although at 3pm...
I just got a message that I won a PDA in some science competetion that was held on TV. Not sure what issit, just sent my address to them first.. hopefully its quite good.

:D
