Ah Fry Singapore Association Of Low Traffic Bloggers

Here's the thing, ever since I returned to Singapore 2 years ago, I kinda lost my blogging mojo.

I thought coming back to QQLand, I would be able to get back some of that momentum but somehow the workload does seem to allow me to do so.

I am a professional blogger in the sense that I blog only during office hours. wakakakaakak

Come home liao, I ish a nuah slug with 1,001 distractions to do anything but blog.

As a result, it is no surprise to see my visitor hits taking a beating and sliding down steadily.

Well, not that I really cared anyway.

So, I have decided.

I am going to join Ah Fry Singapore Association Of Low Traffic Bloggers! *Throw confetti and steal badge to paste on my right widget column*

Speaking of Blogger Association, I am suddenly reminded of something else. Show of hands who still remember the Association of Bloggers (Singapore)?

Here's a few links to jog your memory. Enjoy.

Association Of Bloggers (Singapore) - FAIL

I wondered if anyone still remember the Association of Bloggers (Singapore)?

Well, today marks the first anniversary of the association's formation. I wonder if it is not already dead.
Let's see what they have achieved over the year.

• 6 entries on their official blog.
  
• 2 committee members left..... is it just 1?
  
• Nothing.

Happy Anniversary AOBS!! *yay* *throw confetti*

p.s. Hmm... is it me of does Association of Bull Shit also share the same acronym. Coincidence? You decide!


p.p.s. For a good laugh from the past, go to http://blog.dk.sg/2009/01/19/association-of-bloggers-singapore/ .

More Shit From The Hole

Let's face it. It is a FARKING STOOPID idea that is doomed to failure. Not say I wet blanket but this type of thing no need intermolecular agribiologist to tell you that confirm sure buang one.

So many groups like Tomorrow.sg, Ping.sg, SimiSaiAlso.sg tried it and see where they are now? Theirs is free one also at best is a pimple on the kar chng. This one need to collect money some more. You slowly wait ok?

I won't be surprised they can't get more than 9 paying members.

Wait, the committee got 10 people right?

OI!! WHICH BUGGER ACT BLUR NEBER PAY HAR?
 
But then, my TuaNehNeh friend is in the committee and I no want to tell her what she should do, what she should not do lah. Big girl liao (not referring to the nehnehs this time), ownself can think lah. Even if you outsider can see clearly go this path confirm chop stamp will long piak one. You lan lan have to let her go long piak. This is call respecting other people decision. Understand?

At most I can do is be there when she long piak then I orh-lan-orh-lah-sayang her then teh her nehnehs while she not looking.

It is ironic when she ownself said "Who died and make these people the Overlords of the Blogospere I wonder?"

A bit self-pwnzed, if you asked me.

p.s. I dunno who is handling the PR of the AoB. Please resign to avoid further embarrassment. You have done a job so champion, it is BEYOND imagination. This has got to be some kind of a record. I wonder if Guinesss accept world record of worstest PR job ever?

FAIL.

Spotted this entry on my Bloglines and it's written by Naiveguy. There is a bit of dark history of the CowBoyBar about:

• A feud with the Outlaws. I heard other people talked about this incident also but I can't really say anything cause I was not there myself.
  
• A feud with CowBoyCaleb. Ah this one I was around when it happened. Fortunately, there is no need to take sides on this one as the incident resolved itself with the departure of the feuding ex-barfly. Also the fact, that I can't be arsed to really chup this matter.
  
• Delicate tension between CowBoyCaleb and his BFF. There's the explanation while CowBoyCaleb diam diam over the whole Association Of Bloggers (Singapore) nonsense and yet linked every blog about it. I believe the reason behind it in Naiveguy's entry is accurate.
  
  Anyway, I think as far as the BFF thing is heading, it's next better player liao loh. Who want to apply? Please send your CV to my email. Thanks.

From Naiveguy's entry, I followed the link to James Seng's entry bitching about the credibility of certain people on the Association Of Bloggers (Singapore) committee.

I read with amusement how ECL allegedly kpkb about the ping.sg awards.

Alamak, this is a kachiam puteh kuching kurak IN-HOUSE "competition". Need to be so serious meh?

Want to have trophy issit? Come. Limpeh tomorrow go Queensway buy 2 for you ok? I engrave "TOP CHAMPION BLOGGER" ai mai?

Accredited by DXPPDPY Association one leh. Mai gah limpeh siao siao ku ku jiao hor! 

But then.

There is one thing I read already a bit buay song.

James disagree to some people leading some stupid blogger association coz the fella's character CMI.

I say, pot calling kettle bandung black lah.

Your own house sweep and mop clean first then complain other people house dirty can?

Well, like I said, there is no intention to 'control' the blogosphere or to tell people what to do, so how so was I attempting to be an 'Overlord'?
Anyway, I already said on my blog that I will make an announcement after CNY which was supposed to be on Wed. Before I could do that, you jumped the gun with this.

Rachel: Let me just say everything including my responses to your MSN (sorry, I sleep liao, last night).

First of all. I have nothing against you. I just think the AoB is a stupid idea and that you are joining it. Still, while I am labeling it as stupid and "bashing" it, you don't see me stopping you right?

Also, this entry was meant to be a commentary on what has being published out there. It is not an investigative piece and as such I don't see a need to do a fact finding. In short, I read, I feel, I write.

I did not write this to bait traffic. I don't need the "extra" traffic, not like I have a revenue stream I need to take care of. And I've checked my stats. Nope. No spike in traffic so far. So you can't say I am using it to bait traffic. Besides, I would have used something better if I wanna bait traffic. This is lousy bait if you ask me.

To quote a chinese proverb. 良药苦口，忠言逆耳. You may hate me now but I hope it will be different as time goes by.

And my final parting note. I am not sorry I "jumped the gun" to your Wednesday announcement. Unfortunate coincidence but I control the timing of my OWN entry. You ownself say you not Overlord right?

Peace.

There is nothing to hate. To me, I am addressing the issue of ABS and there is nothing personal there to hate about. However it's the using of my own words to denote aother meaning - that I have an issue with.
I think it is an open secret that I respect all my friends' opinions and feedback on abs. Numerous have blogged about it - I am cool.
As for the timing of your entry, I mentioned it so that things will be clear later upon my post.
Peace too.

Association Of Bloggers (Singapore)

So some bloggers out there set up an association of Singapore bloggers and proclaim it (or at least they want) to be the authority "to accredit bloggers", "to educate bloggers and improve the quality of blogs" and even to the extent of "dispute resolution".

ZHUN BOR?

AOBS want to accredit limpeh's blog?

AOBS want to educate limpeh and improve the quality of limpeh's blog?

 ZHUN BOR?

Just because they are registered with the Registrar of Societies, suddenly they are lord over the Singapore Bloggers?

ZHUN BOR?

Early early didn't we have Tomorrow.sg and it flopped?

So what makes AOBS any better? SGD 50 entrance fee + SGD 60 annual subscription leh! That's a lot of money for dunno what the member will get in return wor!

Let Limpeh tell you what I can do with SGD 110.00

With SGD 110.00, I can

• buy 30 System-7 TOTO tickets. Chinese New Year Jackpot coming liao!
• buy 3kg of Lexandria's father's bak kwa.
• buy 7 Kilkenny's to drink with Ahtiong73 at Wala Wala. 
• buy 1 bottle of Bruno Paillard Blanc de Blanc (Non-vintage).
• buy 3 bottles of wine from sexy chiobus selling them out of their Mercedes' car boot.
• buy 1 month membership at FitnessFirst gym.
• buy-in to the office BanLuck session.

Seriously what for I spend that kind of money not knowing what I am paying for?

Siao one!

p.s. Originally, I didn't want to write this coz the Tua Neh Neh chiobu in the committee is my friend lah. But hor, I ish cannot take it. If I don't get this off my chest, let the pent up rants build up inside, wait I end up also Tua Neh Neh like her then how?

Why you never say can buy 5 dresses from xtraliciousshop.com?! *bitchslap*
The best thing about blogging and social media is its freedom - you can't stop people from saying what they feel and it's the honest to god best thing when you want to hear the truth. ;)
I respect you for writing about your thoughts in an honest and steady manner and not go the ball-less route of 'lend knife kill people'. Friends don't expect each other to support blindly or sacrifice their freedom of thinking.
So, some folks are asking if I am mad - my answer is ya: only because you never say can buy dresses from my shop :P
And, when I see you the next time, I am going to piak you for that. *piak*

Wednesday, 21 January 2009 7:14 am :: 

Ahtiong73: Arh bor call Happy Hour? Of course we happy (7 times) during Happy Hour lor!

Tua Neh Neh: I don't wear dress so never cross my mind that $110 can buy 5 xtralicioushop dresses mah.

Anyway the same freedom applies to you too where nobody can stop you guys for forming this association.

I have my doubts if this will take off after seeing so many flops but you are most welcome to enjoy the honeymoon with all things new.

Perhaps I shall revisit this issue a year later to see how you guys are doing.

I first read about it few days ago and I was surprised with this lousy idea, thought I was alone but guess I am not now.
Only make money online bloggers will join while casual blogger like me won't. But even if I blog for money and I wouldn't give a damn about the accredition as long as I make money not as if I am getting a Nobel Prize for joining.
The accredition thing lacks authority.
They want blogs to be a reliable source of information, maybe we should turn our blogs into CNN or CNBC for better credibility.

Friday, 23 January 2009 9:10 pm :: 

ruok: Bikini club? Nah.... they wear too much clothing liao.

mootq: Welcome to the blog. My take is that my blog is my blog and I don't need somebody who claims to be some kind of authority (NOT!) to "accreditate" my blog. Goddamn it! It's my blog and I run it anyway I like.

Hamie: The monthly subscription depends on how you negotiate your membership.

onc: This one tua neh neh one... -> www.xtralicious.com

Linny: 211 would be nice. Then again, it would be fun to see you skate with just one skate.
