Priss on Jul 3rd, 2008e-Aunties Gossiping About XiaXue vs. Dawn Yang

Why do I feel that the local blogosphere is becoming more and more aunty-fied?
Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with behaving like an aunty - if you’re over 40years old, with kids, possibly retired or a housewife, likes hanging out with other women like yourself in your neighbourhood market place or hang-outs like kopitiams, […]

Priss on Jun 4th, 2008Don’t blog about your work! [Reaction to SIA blogger]

Shouldn’t it be obvious that people shouldn’t use blogs as private diaries? Once you post something in your blog, it’s for the world to see.
