The Pressure of Blogging
Blogging to me was supposed to be a way of expressing my flair of writing. I've never wanted to be a journalist nor a copywriter. But a best selling author someday might sound inviting... However until the day a publisher calls me up, the next best thing was to blog. As I said in the beginning I don't know why I started blogging but I do know that I love to write and compose silly poems. Aside from that, I'm known as being extremely "Kap Siau" (Talkative) to my friends. So that's why I decided to write and perhaps being able to put some happy faces out there.
But during my short break from blogging, it appears that from a cool pastime, it has turn to be as pressurized as my day job. You see, I have a couple of close friends who happens to be my colleagues. They are my best critics. They would have everything to say about anything. From my hair, to my clothes, to the way I walk and even to my blog. And yes, they are all women. (Lucky me?)
This is what one of them (Let's call her Or-Nya...literally means black lady) had to say about my short disapperance:
Or-Nya: Hoi, Gavin lu update lu eh blog ar boay (Hey, Gav have you updated your blog?)
Me: Aiyoh, boh eng lar. Tan chit eh wa kah update (Shucks, I'm busy. Wait, I'll update later)
Or-Nya: Aiseh, eh neh koo. Wa tan ai thak lu eh blog on Friends part 2. (Man, so long, I'm waiting for your blog on Friends part 2)
Me: Ok lar, wa baru update (Ok, I'll update it)
Or-Nya: Kak Kwai lar. Wa refresh tapi boh pua hang (Hurry Up! I've kept on refreshing but there's nothing)
(...After a while...)
Me: Ok. Hoh liau tapi wa sia pak hang (Alright, it's done. But I've written on something else)
(Or-Nya started reading)
Or-Nya: Hamik? Eh neh nia? Wa tan eh neh koo lu sia eh neh chiu? (What? Just that? I've waited for so long but you wrote so little?)
Me: ??? (A picture of puzzlement)
Of course aside from Or-Nya, I'll have Ah Peng, Heong Pin and Yan Yan breathing now my neck. They make my daily working life a living hell. But without them work would be so boring.
Sigh, women you cannot live with them, you cannot live without them...What more can I say?
