btw.. forgot one thing.. ter-press the submit button just now *sowwwwieee*

i know you din ask me.. but if you did ask me, i'll be blogging the same way I started until the day it ends.. maybe with a lil improvising throughout the bloggings.. ^^

there might be stuffs I cant blog about, but surely there's a way of putting it up without hurting anyone in particular.. like changing the senario wise.. *Once upon a time, in a far far away land....*

Today had nothing to do, so I kinda took time to read this post..
Indeed it is long.. But somehow it felt short..

Problems and stuffs are one of the usual things we face in life..
However, it varies from the complexity of it..

Yea it's agreeable that now you're a CELEBRITY, you have to be careful with the word selection.. However, don't let that affect what you truly want to blog about.. Put it in this way, You can still BLOG out your true feelings, but there's always space for you to rephrase words in such, that it's not so much offensive to people and your faithful readers.. Hey this technique is not too bad, cause at the same time, you get to "see" things from a different perspective and analyze things as well as calm yourself down before rushing into harsh decisions which may cause you to regret later on..

It doesn't matter how long your rant is, how emo you sound, how terrible people may think you are (of course not until that bad la XD), the thing is no one is perfect.. and why your readers got stuck with ya so long? Coz You're PinkPau! A pau that's pink! (okay, that's lame, but skip it) No matter what you write, it is you who is writing.. and you shouldn't really change your style of writing for the sake of your fans..

I believe that if you're unhappy, you just have to "say" it out, and tons of people will come to your comfort.. *winks* Don't mind what people say about you, but put in mind it is how you react to the matter that will change the rumors around.. ^^

Anyway, I think I've crapped ALOT.. so better stop here..
I'll be back~! LOL xD

PS:We'll all be right behind ya, backing ya up..

Hey Su Ann... as i've always said, you're years younger than me but i've always been a fan. =) i started reading you when you were getting only a handful of comments a day but now i go through hundreds. nothing surprising though, as you are such a joy to read. looking foward to reading your blog for many more years.

and yes, i still hope i can meet THE pinkpau in the flesh someday. *huggles* =)

As much as a blog can be as personal as it can be, the restraints one needs to understand on how it will affect and impact others, is still something I found the local blogosphere has yet to capture that principle...

.... or maybe they underestimate how blogs are interlink, one way or another.

i've only come to know your blog because you linked me once before and i never knew what an honor that was until i started to read your entries.

a mutual friend of ours tells me we are quite alike. and there are times while i am reading your posts and i'd go "oh gosh she took she words right out of my mouth"
im flattering myself ahem dont mind me.

all in all, i love reading your blog and while you have a lot of readers, the blog is yours and you should say what you want you say. please. don't hold back. don't be selfish, share :P

(i waited a couple of days after this post has been up hoping no one would see this but you haha *shy*)

Hi SuAnn! I only just recently started reading your blog - and I normally don't comment on the blogs I lurk on. I can only understand your predicament on privacy and what you feel you need to share and what you feel you need to keep as your own.

But what I really felt like I needed to tell you is that despite as much as I've read so far, I've never had so much respect for a blogger before. I mean you. Keep writing. It's such a breath of fresh air. I'm so glad I've stumbled upon your blog. (Despite the pinkness lol)

I'm very sorry to hear that circumstances have forced you to put a cloak on things you really want to say.. Yeah, it is quite a quandary eh. On one hand you have this prerogative to say whatever you want (because it is after all your blog) and on the other you're also under obligation to protect people's feelings and whatnot. But somehow you've managed to strike a balance between the two here; I actually really respect that about you. Not many people can or will bother to do that.

Good luck with the reversion! When the very annoying and uninformed flames start to pour in, you can rest assured that your readers will be here to douse them : P

i've changed my blog's url so many times i can hardly remember. now i'm happy keeping myself anonymous, even if no one reads it. it's nice when you have a readership, when you have people who will listen to you rant about anything and nothing. but it's even better when you can write what you want, without worrying who will read it, how it'll hurt others, or when it'll get back to you.

i've had several occasions where i have to apologise to others for what i've written, or delete my posts to avoid hurting others. but the worst thing is, i always feel like i'm deleting a vital part of myself when i delete a draft post, or even when i changed my mind not to write about something. holding yourself back is painful, and you should never do that. now that you're in the public eye, it may seem hard not to censor yourself, but make a few posts private, or accessible only via password.

it's probably tempting to quit altogether, but there is one good thing about your blog being public to all. and that is the fact that your blog inspires people. "the pen is mightier than the sword". and it is your words that keeps me going on and feel grateful for the life i've been given. you make me feel proud to be a malaysian, and you show the world that teenagers aren't just rebellious delinquents. they can be responsible, caring, courageous and awe-inspiring.

keep on blogging girl. I just love the way you rant. You have your style, and it's unique.

I might not be a usual commenter in ur blog, but I do read it quietly with some of my other friends. No matter what happens, whether you're here in Msia or going to the US, I am still here reading quaintly.net always.

however i do agree that when a blog gets too public, it will be time for some censorship to avoid any stalkers or people to know too much of your personal stuffs. =)

Love ya.

Great post girl! Just want to let you know that I've been a faithful reader of quaintly.net since 2006 and I want to tell you this - your blog was one of my main sources of inspiration that moved me to start blogging last December, and I've never looked back since. (: Thanks, Su Ann.

And now we're in the public eye, I have no choice but to cut out all the emo posts and look happy all the time, because I just found out that my ex still reads my blog. Damn, I can't look less happy than her. Hahahaha.

I still love your blog pinkpau, and I've like converted some of my close friends in sg into readers of your blog too! :D

Keep on blogging Su Ann, and keep in touch!

Hamlet's Hero.

Don't sweat it out. X)

You're right ... theres been a dramatic change in your blog for the past 3 years. I can't imagine what it was like 5 or 6 years ago. It was probably more intriguing back then. This is probably a real dilemma that’s bothering you. You can’t write anonymously, no point in that. But for what it’s worth, there is still that innate feeling from most of your readers, wanting you to write as you were. So, you’re not alone… as we also look forward when you’re in US. X)

By the way, in regards to the comment thread on Suet Li's blog - CIMB DO pay their interns, according to a friend who works there. Sigh CIMB was my first choice to do my internship at! So I suppose Martian's an investment banker with the bank!

I was a pinkskyes reader too! But of course have always remained more of a silent reader than anything else; still love your blog muchos nevertheless. :) Heyyy I just recalled something! Wanna know how I found pinkskyes? Through one of Samantha's (aka Reverie) blogposts back then! Heh.

hey there!
yeah man i get what you mean. it's just the same with everything. you get torn between the REAL purpose and commercialism. sigh, it's a sad thing but a very true fact of the world.

it is indeed damn scary how so many people read your blog. what i hate is when they don't leave a footprint and you have NO IDEA that they were at your blog. comes across as slightly sneaky and stalkerish actually. sorry but that's how i personally feel.

you are right. it's so hard to just let go and at the same time maintain some amount of privacy. i guess when you come onto the internet, you have already agreed that you willing to lose that bit of privacy. but still, it all boils down to who do you blog for. just like you said.

i had the very bad experience of actually ranting about my relatives on my blog and experiencing the consequences after. had to move my poor blog after that. learned censorship from that day onwards but sometimes not as enjoyable to not be able to rant so honestly yea?
hahaha.

anyways, more power to you pinkpau and this was a fantastic entry that cheered me up at 5.35am in the morning. =)

i guess i have to echo with many ppl here, that you're one of my fav bloggers. =) i have a blog as well, filled with many many emo posts that're SO vaguely written.The vaguesnees makes me wonder if i'll remember what is the exact thing that evoked such a post when i read back next time. vaguely written, because surprise surprise you got it right!, the persons whom i'm talking about are reading the posts.

but then again, emo posts are just that. emotions. when you read the emo posts few weeks later, you cant feel that same amount/intensity of emotions anymore

i cant say i understand your situation perfectly because i don have such a huge traffic. although sometimes i wish i had, because your comments always show that many of your readers care for you. the comments always show that many of your readers are there to offer words of comfort or encouragement even though you might not have met many of them in real life.

anyway, there's a reason why so many ppl agree with the saying 'when you gain sth, you lose sth' =) and there's also a reason why so many ppl like your blog =)

oh yes, bittersweet. i get that sensation a lot. all i know is i've been reading your blog for a long time, and i don't even remember when i started. probably pinkskyes, because i remember the day many years ago that i clicked on your link and it directed me to a new address, quaintly.net =)

have you watched what happened in vegas? kinda predictable, and totally corny ending, but then again it has some cute scenes and it can get quite funny at times. worth a watch if you just want to have good time hanging out =) i know, because that's what i just did today, hehe.

i've read you since pinkskyes! and i've known you since you were in glasses and err dunno stumbling around wtf.

there's an issue at the back of my head that i've been wanting to blog about but i can't because i am afraid. but since when am i a slave of my own blog? fuck this shit it's MY blog and i can write whatever i want whenever i want. especially when i don't get money from traffic cuz i'm cool like that WTF
