____Bitchin', Scratchin' and Beauty Queens

I do not know if it is the living in Singapore. It gets too hot in the afternoons and it is easy to flare. Flaring up seems to be a common feeling within me nowadays. Sometimes I wonder if the problem lies with the people around me - the influence to flare up and explode. Or probably the army has brought the vicious nature out of me. Nevertheless, Singapore is a bloody hot place to live in.

I learnt from somewhere, some article, some place in time, probably a few days or a week back, that even beauty queens patronise the idea of using a blog to pen down their life stories. I tend to believe that beauty queens are just some people who strut around the catwalk stage for judges to eye at them. Of course, the recent Miss Singapore contests have somewhat changed this mindset - some of the girls are really intelligent. But that didn't make me think that their blogs would be interesting. At least, not until i read that particular article.

Apparently, in some beauty competition (I don't think it is the Miss Singapore Universe), these two girls own blogs of their own. Nothing surprising, since they are also humans who, probably like me, have things to tell the world. However, this particular girl X starting bitching about another contestant, Y, in her blog. I forgot what was it about but a good guess would be about the actions of Y. Of course, Y would not take it lying down, or say "thank you for the criticism". Her RETALIATION came in due time, bitching about who else but X.

I thought that such high profile bitching only occur to people with celebrity status. Then I also realised that it is right to say that these two girls are celebrities in their own right. But what I did not understand is the use of their blogs to bitch about others. Afterall, would not an elaborated interview on the television be a better medium to tell the world? How many people would come across her blog? (Of course, now with the article blowing up the incident, more people would love to be witnesses of the royal catfight.)

I read on and realised that her FIGHTBACK was more of a personal attack. Less related to the main incident, more of RIDICULOUS CONTRADICTION. It got kind of ugly and it irks. It defeats the purpose of a blog. It ABUSES this form of "media". It is almost unholy...

YOU, I believe, will begin to see and sense the uncanny similarities of this all at some point in YOUR lives. It is sad. It probably made YOU angry as much as it made me disappointed. It happened to me as much as it happened to everyone else before. And it was exceptionally disappointing when my intention was to be objective to the situation.

I would learn to take such things into my stride like I have taken other setbacks. As tempting as a REBUTT would be, I realise that it is pointless to go on and on with INCORRIGIBLE people. Just shut up and keep quiet and let the other party carry on with his pointless, ONE-MAN, catfight...
