Interviewed by Times Magazine for being the Singapore most popular WTH Blogger.

 I was very fortunate to be interviewed by Times magazine over Email last week. It will be published on Times magazine issue 87658751293781023.

And below is the fake interview that I sent myself and I thought I should share my answers here since it will never be published
.
Why did you started blogging? 

I started blogging to note down events that happened in my life so I could easily refer to in future as well as to write. I enjoy writing but I am not the best writer around so I wished to improve it by purely practicing. I also enjoy the attention I get for sharing interesting/random concept and ideas I have. I am not afraid to tell people that I am crazy and I live my 1 life the only way it should be lived.

Awesome written all over my face.

How did you started blogging?

I registered a blog URL like everyone else and started writing rubbish of my daily happenings until one day I got an invite to an event as a blogger few years ago by Ben and Jerry's and from that event, I met a lot of new friends and I suppose I got some attention with my writing and my loud voice. I soon got more attention on my blog as well as my Twitter account. My blog had an average readership of 5 per day for the first 4 years of it's existent.

And you talk about sex...

This is SEX.

Yes, many have asked me this question like why and how over the years and over 686982131 cups of beer and coffee. Frankly, the sex blog is not inspired by Edison and neither is it by Gary Ng, it was inspired by HPB.( I bet the story got half as exciting now.) They had this ZOO Card and site back then which is LetsTalkAboutSex and I thought I can do it too! So I started that and I just update it once in awhile but god knows what happened people prefer to know me and introduce me with that title of "Sex Blogger".

What The Hell?

Yes, that is what I was nominated for at OMY Blog Awards for both 2012 and 2013. I don't like to blog about things as it is or just keep talking about events and stuff. I don't see a point of blogging if I do not have an opinion of my own. Just copy and pasting press release makes my blog an event listing site and not a personal blog.

So you are a lifestyle blogger? 

Frankly, I hate it when I am introduced as a lifestyle blogger because lifestyle means nothing. It simply means that my blog is not focused and talks about everything. Which is true but I hate it. I hate it because as a marketing person I know the importance of positioning myself like the tech bloggers, beauty bloggers but I just do not wish to write a topic for each blog and have 7 URLS talking about sex, NBA, ink, Social Media, News and what not. So normally when asked I would just say that I blog about me. Things that are me.

Where do you get your inspiration? 

My very 1st blog inspiration was actually KennySia. I spent a lot of time reading his blog and how he blogs. He is funny and quirky so I believe my blog very 1st inspiration was him. Being crazy and wacky.

From Kennysia.com

As for now, I get a lot of my crazy inspiration from talking to people. They always say that you learn the most when you teach and that is true. Every time I talk to a new blogger or some client, it gives me inspiration for my Social Media posts. Other than that if it's news, girls, sex, scandal, NBA, they are mostly interesting topics off my Twitter Feed.

One thing you really hate blogging about..

Food, I hate talking about food and everybody knows this fact. I have no idea how to talk about a plate of good food in 308698123 ways other than just saying it is good, but interesting enough it was one of the 1st thing I blogged about back then and I was even a blogger of a group blog - SGFoodieClub.

And your favorite blog post is..

Alvin from Alvinology.com

There are a lot of posts that I've written over the years that I will still laugh at while reading it. So I guess it's really hard to say which is my favorite. If I have to pick one it will be the event blogging 101 where I "suan" people. I enjoy doing that. 

Suan people? Are you not afraid that you will offend the wrong person and get your blog into trouble? 

Frankly blogging is just a hobby to me. I don't see how I can offend the wrong person and get myself into trouble like getting "boycott". I've seen monkeys doing worst but still in the industry. Moreover I've already scolded the media guy from OMY openly online and that didn't even got me onto the newspaper. What else does 1 need to do to get famous here?



Get famous? But you are already famous right?

From http://reginachow.blogspot.sg/

NO. I guess you can say I am awesome, you can also say I am actively blogger or even popular within my clique but I am not famous. Famous is when mass audience knows about you. People like Xiaxue, Mr.Brown, QiuQiu or even Alvinology but mass audience don't read my blog. My blog is like how my friend put it, the HDB Blog. Like how your mum is popular at the market near your place where she is the most popular auntie around but frankly not famous yet cause nobody knows her at another market. Get the drift? 

If you ain't gonna blog, what else will you be doing?

Seriously? Blogging is a hobby. Without blogging I can do a lot more. Like try to take over the world or something. Please. 

Can you give some tips to bloggers who wished to be like you?

You can try, you can make an effort, read more, write more, be friendly, be funny BUT... You will never be me. So don't waste your time.
