When there are 2 queens involved, there would be bitchness and cattiness. Well, this is about 2 blog queens spat. Claws are unsheathed, teeth bared. Now lawyers' letters are exchanged.
And what does it spelled? Greater site hits and site traffic?
So publicity stunt or real spats? You, the reader judge.

Virtual catfight
Blogger Dawn Yang wants XX to apologise for defaming her; others see the spat as 'entertainment'
By Debbie Yong
The bad blood between the two reigning queens of the local blogosphere has come to a boil.
Last Friday, blogger Wendy Cheng, who goes by the online moniker XX, received a letter from the lawyer of fellow blogger Dawn Yang. It called on Ms Cheng to make a public apology for alleged defamatory remarks she made against Ms Yang, and to propose a settlement for damages.
'We hope to seek an amicable resolution to the matter without going to court,' lawyer K. Anparasan told The Sunday Times yesterday. He is from Khattar Wong, the firm Ms Yang hired for the case.
Ms Cheng has hired a lawyer from Keystone Law Corporation but has declined to say what she will do next. She has until Tuesday to respond to the letter. Ms Yang is currently on holiday in Sydney and could not be reached for comment.
The legal action stems from a blog entry that Ms Cheng, 23, made on June 30. In a lengthy post, she wrote, among other things, about Ms Yang's entertainment contracts and endorsement deals.
She also baulked at being compared to Ms Yang, 23, in a June 25 article in the Chinese-language newspaper Lianhe Zaobao. Ms Cheng has since removed this entry from her blog, but screenshots of it can still be found on the Internet. Her blog gets about 50,000 hits daily while Ms Yang's gets 30,000.
Ms Cheng said yesterday that the day after she wrote the post, both bloggers' managers spoke over the phone on the matter. Ms Cheng is signed up with an entertainment agency and Ms Yang with a modelling agency. She said she was 'surprised and quite shocked' to receive the lawyer's letter.
The simmering discord between them can be traced back to November 2006. The two were compared in an online forum's 'hottest bloggers' ranking, and have been making comments about each other on their blogs since.
Most of the other popular bloggers interviewed dismissed their spat as 'entertainment'. Mr Benjamin Lee, also known as Mr Miyagi, said the dispute 'probably enhanced both parties' site traffic and attention, which is what the blogging business is about'.
Polytechnic student Esther Chia, 18, who blogs as Ice Angel, concurred. She was involved in a 'flameball' - or virtual mudslinging - with Ms Cheng last year over comments the latter made about her looks and dress sense.
The episode boosted Ms Chia's blog readership from 1,000 to 4,000 hits a day. 'As long as she doesn't criticise my character, I won't be seriously offended,' said Ms Chia. Law undergraduate and co-editor of The Online Citizen website, Mr Choo Zheng Xi, said that defamation is an 'occupational hazard' for anyone blogging about society and popular culture.
He said that the tussle would at least remind other bloggers to be careful about any personal accusations they wish to make. He also hoped that more bloggers will be 'more focused on issues and less on people and personality'.

Below are the lost and deleted posts of XX, for archive purposes. So the whole story can be told.
----------------------------------
Ok, here we go! First of all, comments are not disabled, don't worry! It's just that right now Haloscan is down (ok it's up again).
In response to Dawn's kindly acceptance of my insincere (deemed by her) apology, I'd like to say a few things.
This is going to be a long, long entry. And also, since I do not want to be shot with another law threat, I will prefix every other sentence with "I think".
All the following are my personal opinions, and as I am highly untrustworthy, I urge the public to not believe anything I say as they are mostly ficticious. Even those things I should mention later are facts are not facts. They are stories spun by myself as I am a little mentally demented. Now I can begin.
First;
Dawn sent me an email today. Since she is so venomously hated right now, I think it's only fair I show you all her, erm, vulnerable side.
To be honest, I felt a bit guilty when I saw this.
But fact is, Dawn, I do not like you - to put as plainly as possible.
I think you trample on every value that I base my whole life on, such as Honesty, Candidness, Bravery, Individuality, and Sincerity, among others. Till this day, I think, you still insist you never went under the knife. I think I've seen you lie about this on tape. I simply cannot respect that.
I think your blog persona amplifies suppositious fronts, hypocrisy, as well as what I detest the most: The lust for money rather than for the passion of blogging and making your voice heard.
It irks me, and I can't pretend I am not irked.
Nonetheless, whatever I think of you, I've always treated you with politeness, as you were always civil to me.
Numerous times in the past, I have also defended you and told your detractors that you are mild and harmless in real life. Plastic surgery is one's personal choice, and people who have something to say against it ought to fuck off.
However, dislike is not something I can control, although I can and have told you why I feel so.
You don't have to feel offended. I dislike a whole truckload of other people... In fact, it's tough to find me someone I like.
In my opinion, rather than bad-mouthing you behind your back and gossiping about you, I felt that telling the truth is always the better option.
I am sorry if you felt hurt from the blog entry you forced me to delete, but don't take it personally. Or do, if you wish to. The blog entry is not written by me, your acquaintance, but me, A BLOGGER - just like how reporters of papers are not being personal when they write bad press about stars.
You can hate me if you want. Just stop being nice, coz I don't want to be fakely nice to someone I don't like, and you being nice totally throws me off. o_O
OK, You weren't nice on your blog. That's cool then.
As for seeing each other in future, I have no intentions of salvaging a friendship, or going through the painful pretense of small-talk. Just ignore me completely, as you would ignore someone you don't like. I'd do the same.
You can see I highlighted the last statement in that email.
Dawn claims she never saw her manager's nasty emails to me.
Noel!!! You are doomed lor! Now, I think, even your artiste paiseh to be associated with you!
Or is she? You judge for yourself the series of emails that were sent from Noel to me (and vice versa), that Dawn was cc-ed in.
Not 1... not 2... But 7.
At least 7, since I omitted some.
When? Since yesterday at 8pm.
And just to clarify, MY agency is prefectly polite, patient, reasonable, and professional. So no Dawn, I do not KNOW HOW AGENCIES CAN GET.
Maybe Dawn didn't read those emails before she opened her email wrote her email to me. Huh? Possible?
Now that we've got the niceties out of the way, we can start tackling the things she wrote on her latest blog entry.
OH GOD! No... not rabid fans again?! So... Everyone who hates Dawn is automatically my "fan"? (I don't have stupid fans! I am a writer. I have READERS. I'd never call people "fans"... A bit bu yao lian...)
XLX posted up photos of me with photoshopped cum-shots on my face, repeatedly said I am a cheap whore, etc... I realllllllly don't see a parallel there.
You are right Dawn... I cannot prove certain things. I certainly can't rope Jacky Wu in to testify in court, although he might bring some hilarity to my life if he does.
The statements I made were of my personal opinions. Maybe the rumours were wrong. But Dawn, I have to make this clear. I NEVER STATED THOSE 6 POINTS AS FACTS.
But if you want facts right?
Here... I've give you FACTS. By "facts" I actually mean lies spun by myself.
a) I think you never did join 98.7FM as a DJ, right? Isn't that the same as saying you failed to join?
b) I expressed incredulity that you earn your proclaimed amount. I never said it is a fact that you do not earn so much. I said, even if you do, it's probably from "hidden sneaky advertorials".
Is this fact? I think yes, it is.
Can I prove it? Yes, I think I can.
How? An advertiser sent me an email asking me for an advertorial. I rejected it. A few days later, it was shown on your blog, urging people to give the service a try.
No hint that this was a paid mention was on your blog.
Is it because you did it out of goodwill? A simple check with the advertiser will suffice.
c) Who you went on the Valentine's Day Bali trip with, is fact.
Let's call him Mr. R. How do I know this?
Because I met Mr. R. at Zouk. Twice.
Mr R is 40+, I think. I've heard from some sources he is married, from some sources he is divorced, and from some sources he is single. Nobody knows! But he is extremely wealthy.
Mr. R was very happy to show everyone present, including 2 other witnesses, his digicam. In the digicam are pictures of Dawn and him. The photos include those of Dawn and him hugging in what I deem to be intimate poses (ie hands wrapped around waist).
I saw this with my own eyes, and so did two other people who were with me.
Whether or not Dawn had any relations with him is of course not something I can say.
Enough of the facts (ie lies I spun)... Let's go back to her entry.
Sorry, you where saying?
WOAH! Sorry girl... Don't remember seeing you on Technorati's top 100 blogs of the world......
Here it is. Go read if you want!
IS IT SPITEFUL? AM I?
The postcard reads that Dawn usurped me as the hottest blogger in Singapore!
As I have proven in that blog entry, there is no quantifiable measurement of "hotness", and therefore I cannot be usurped!
Who gave them this statement to put into the postcard?
I do not think I was being spiteful at all.
Why should I allow this postcard to be spread and have let people have this wrong idea that Dawn is the hottest blogger?
It is not true, and detrimental to my reputation and directly responsible for my potential income.
Furthermore, I was nice and chose to give Dawn the benefit of doubt that:
- She did not supply the Mandarin campaign people with that information;
- She did not check and allow it to be published.
These are very unlikely situations, yet I chose not to blame her.
I THOUGHT I WAS ALL BENEVOLENT AND KINDLY!! WHAT??
Was I being spiteful??????? SPITEFUL TOWARDS WHO??
She's spiteful towards ME lor! She wants such untruths about me to be spread!
NOW YOU BE CAREFUL THERE DAWN! If you are not careful I could sue you for libel!
Fortunately for you, I will fight with my bare hands.
Let me come clean on the blinkmummy/xlx impersonation thing. I should have done so LONG ago, and bravely stepped up to avoid all the shit. But nonetheless, never too late!
Here's what happened. Skip it if you are not interested.
No more lies, and NO DAWN, I AM NOT THE CREATOR OF YOUR HATE SITE - http://xanga.com/dawn_wayang.
This I swear upon the lives of my unborn children.
You've got to be kidding me right? Don't update my own blog and go and update your hate site? Got so boh liao or not?
But in any case, the hate site is quite smashingly written, I must say. Witty! I do like it! It does have a little of my style. :) Which is an awesome style!!
Siao. I never said I was upset over that.
I am just disgusted that, you, I think, pretended not to be pleased to be called the school belle and wanted to be valedictorian. That's all.
No Dawn... We are not similar.
I did though, find someone quite (but not quite) similar to you.
She is Arissa.
A little introduction.
Arissa (Zhen Shan) is a Singaporean girl who is studying in the states. She's extremely pretty, and comes from a very wealthy family.
She is 100% natural, and a friend of mine. Not close, but we do sometimes talk a bit online.
Since Arissa was in secondary school, according to KK, she was already infamous in Singapore. Already gorgeous since a young age, all the boys school and girls school people of their batch know her - and I dunno if KK is exaggerating as usual or not la, but she was saying how Arissa's features were perfect and she has naturally rosy cheeks that glow and be seen from a distance... etc etc.
Arissa's not only gorgeous, her lifestyle is enviable. She has all the gorgeous brands, hangs out with loads of famous people, and was in Vanness's MTV too.
Not only that, she has immense style and character. She's not your traditional shu nu. AND she is nice and smart.
Why is Zhen Shan not a famous celebrity yet? My guess is that she doesn't crave it. She's not a famewhore, unlike somebody...
Well... Does Arissa sounds like someone people would want to copy?
I would say definitely.
I, for one, was inclined to pierce my helix coz she looks so nice with it.
But how far would one go to copy somebody else?
To sacrifice all their individuality to BE someone else?
I won't post up too many of her photos since she is a really private person, but these photos are on her website, so I guess it should be ok.
If you want me to take it off ZS, please don't hesitate to email me: xiaxue@gmail.com. I didn't see you online so I can't ask you!!
And here's Dawn, when she first got "famous":
Coloured contacts? Check.
Eyebrows thick and brushed downwards? Check.
Head tilted down? Check.
Pursed lips? Check.
Similarities do not end here.
And they most certainly don't START from there either!
Arissa's sports car. There is no need to say what it is (you can make a guess from the logo, huh?) - it surely one-ups...
Freaky, huh?
Doesn't stop there.
Which is why Dawn says... Don't compare!
And, my friends... one more for the night:
I THINK, before she got noticed Dawn used to go to Arissa's website and left comments on the noticeboard.
I THINK she then stopped leaving comments one day, and disappeared.
I THINK when she reappeared, she was a mini Arissa... but a fake one. Tries hard to imitate, but fails in every.single.respect.
The above is purely my opinion.
Lastly, about the armpits... I am sorry!! I thought that was a boob job incision scar. It appears you merely have a dirty armpit.
p/s: Wanbao called. They seem to want to focus on me cursing cancer on Dawn (it's a joke yo! Can't take a joke?!?) rather than any rumours on Dawn. I'm telling ya they hate me! Let's see how it turns out tomorrow.
Also... I don't think I'm being mean. I anyhow blogged some stuff, and I got slapped with a law suit. It would have ended there, but threatening to sue me was cowardly. So this time round I only write things I have proof of lor... Rather, my opinions with the proof that I base my opinions on. You don't have to believe me.
And as for how Dawn would feel... How's that my responsibility? She has multiple other sites all saying exactly the same things, in even worse languages. I am merely repeating them. If she doesn't wish for people to say these things about her, she has a blog, two hands, a brain, and she can defend herself - just like how she did by casting doubt on my credibility with the mentions of my hate site incident.
p/p/s: Please do not involve Arissa in this. Any comments that compromises on Arissa's privacy (ie her website, personal info, etc), or negative about her, will be immediately deleted. I'm sure you all understand. Thanks! :)
----------------------------------
As time goes by
I've noticed that as time goes by the comments left seem to be more and more stupid. Seems like a lot of irrelevant people are now talking when they don't even know what the hell was going on.
The most hilarious has to be that Dawn and I were making this up for news.
Ha. I don't think so. And no, didn't earn a single cent from it.
(Actually someone DID donate to me $20 on paypal saying she's totally willing to pay for a good show, but that's it...)
Anyway, since Dawn did not reply, I will cease to comment on this issue from now on.
I'd like to blog about something else, but nothing much interesting is happening, so maybe later, eh?
I'd like to also add that I am not moderating comments and have not been checking them (they are moving WAY too fast!!) so I don't know what you people are saying in them... Any comment that's not left by me by no means represents my opinion, and are not to be believed unless it is accompanied by solid proof.
For example, do not leave irresponsible comments such as so-and-so is fucking for money. That's not nice for ANY female, and certainly baseless. I honestly don't think Dawn would resort to that. Mr. R is a pretty outgoing and funny person, and I do not think it is impossible that a girl will date him for things other than his wealth.
I try my best to delete baseless and irresponsible comments, but that is dependent on me seeing them.
I'm going to watch an ep of Gossip Girl on sidereel.com, than gonna sleepytime!!
Good night ya all!!
xoxo
UPDATE: Stupid people are really annoying!!! Comments moderated. For ALL posts. And yes, comments daring me to delete them WILL be deleted. How easy is that? *Poof* gone.
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
A revelation of feelings
APPARENTLY, THE POINTS
1) That Tinsel Management dropped Dawn,
2) That Dawn had failed to join 98.7FM as a DJ,
3) That Dawn lied about an offer by Jacky Wu,
4) That Dawn has breast implants and armpit scars,
5) That she lied about how much she was earning, and
6) That she had lied about her heritage.
ARE ALL NOT BASED ON FACT.
I APOLOGISE FOR THE DISTRESS THAT THIS DELETED ENTRY MIGHT HAVE CAUSED DAWN YANG, AND HOPE SHE GETS CANCER. JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100% KIDDING!! I MEAN I WISH HER NOTHING BUT WELL.
----------------------------------
Sorry for the lack in blogging recently. Very busy with writing my movie script!
You know, I've been wanting to blog about this for some time now, and this issue has been bugging me.
Yup, everyone's favourite plastic queen: Dawn Yang.
Dawn has been nothing but nice and sweet to me everytime we met, and she never did do anything to me personally, which is why I've always refrained from saying anything bad about her.
But as time goes by and more and more of her lies are exposed (See here, here and here. I wrote none of these I assure you!), my distaste for her has been increasing - so much so that I am ashamed to admit that I felt glee when I saw her sore eyes. I KNOW! I said I am ashamed!
I can't say I've ever been close to her, but I've certainly shown on my blog that I am neutral (towards liking, perhaps) about her - but I am actually not, and I am sick of pretending! Gotta stop being a hypocrite.
It's just so tough to be mean to someone who is nice to you, you know?
So yup, once and for all, I DO NOT like Dawn.
I've settled into a lum nua position where I don't go to parties anymore, so I guess I won't be seeing her around. If I do, I guess I will run the other direction. OMG I so don't wanna make small talk about my feelings...!
The last straw that broke the camel's (yes la I am that camel) was the Zaobao article that's recently published.
While I am writing scripts, filming, and working 10 hours straight for a decent advertorial (Indulgz!!!), some other talentless schmuck is being compared to me.
SHE IS ALSO A BLOGGER.
A BLOGGER LIKE ME.
I AM A BLOGGER BECAUSE I ACTUALLY WRITE. I may not be Charles Dickens, but at least, I have some semblance of the courage to voice out my opinions - something which bloggers are respected for.
I feel completely disillusioned about being a blogger recently. In fact, I feel EMBARRASSED to tell people I am a blogger.
AND WHAT ARE BLOGGERS NOWADAYS?
Any old fart of a cheap whore who posts up their party photos are now all considered bloggers too! What's this? Why do these girls persist in infiltrating every occupation? They are "models", and now, they are "bloggers" too!
I despise being compared to Dawn.
Why should she be a famous blogger?
She's not funny... She's not talented... She's not opinionated.
She's just a consistent and persistent liar. She should be in her right place - at the background where all the other girly cam-whoring bloggers are.
She embarrasses what a blog advertorial ought to look like.
She embarrasses other bloggers who are serious about taking blogging as a full-time job. Think her mentions of brands on her site are coming from her heart? Think again. They are paid unscrupulous businesses who have also approached me, but I turned them down because I INSIST ON SHOWING IT IS A PAID AD. That's blog integrity that every blogger should have.
I've insisted upon it for YEARS, and it has cost me monetary losses. But someone else, someone dishonest, is benefiting from it, yet nobody is faulting her. It greatly saddens me.
Is Angela baby a blogger? She certainly has a blog with a high readership... Nope, she is a model/actress who blogs.
Did she go anywhere with her entertainment career? From 2005 when Jean Marie Tan of The Newpaper prophesized how super shining her stardom's gonna be, Dawn failed to join the Taiwan entertainment industry with a big bang.
She took part in one measly variety show as a random hot chick, after being there for months.
Tinsel management dropped her. (Rumour, but either way, she's not with Tinsel anymore)
She failed to join 9.87 FM as a DJ.
She failed to even get Rozz's part in Girls Out Loud with me.
Can't sing, can't act, certainly can't host. Only can camwhore. My... That's a talent! Maybe she ought to become a blogger!
She's reduced to blogging for Stomp ($2k a month), and churning out crappy ads on her blog for $4-6k a month. Surely that amount (if true at all - more about that later) is shitty for a superstar?
So here's the conclusion:
Dawn's a desperate wannabe who blogs. NOT A BLOGGER.
So for the last time, since I've said so in early 2005 - STOP COMPARING ME TO HER, BECAUSE SHE IS NOT A BLOGGER.
What has all these got to do with ME?
PLENTY.
Why? Because, as I said, I am CONSTANTLY being compared to her.
And on what basis am I being compared to her on? HER LIES.
Lies about how she was signed by Jacky Wu, lies about her mega-dollar deals, lies about her salary, lies about her heritage...
Hello? IS THIS FAIR TO ME?
People say, Oh Xiaxue! Look at Dawn! People got given an LG phone/whatever product leh! You leh?
I never took up that offer because I personally don't like LG phones (although I'm using the Shine now and it's not bad), and I don't want to get a free gift and not write anything for them.
It's the same for every other product. I am not going to make use of my blog to become a bloody sell-out!
Oh Xiaxue! Look at Dawn! She's earning so much from her blog! Confirm more than you.
She dares to claim $4k to $6k as a stable income for herself, when I know exactly how much those advertorials cost - because the same people also came to me, and couldn't afford my fees.
I can safely tell you that my advertorials cost twice as much as hers, and even I don't dare to claim to earn $2k - $4k (if you minus Stomp) each and every month.
I charge more, because I actually do put in effort into doing up a good advert, and not just flip my hair (extensions) and cut and paste some bullshit from the product's website.
Even if she does earn so much, so what? It only shows that her blog is laden with sneaky hidden advertorials. Kenny limits his advertorials to 2 a month. I think I shall adhere to that from now on too.
Oh Xiaxue! Look at Dawn! Maxim/FHM magazine cover! You?
Riiight... It's totally my fault that my body's not as hot. And honestly, after my disaster of a Maxim shoot from eons ago, I don't give a flying fuck about these men's magazines. It's totally something to be proud of that a girl can only grace magazines when she takes off almost of all of her clothes.
Oh Xiaxue! Dawn is class belle leh. You ugly prefect!
Ooooh. She says she would MUCH rather be the valedictorian!
Oh really? As if she isn't totally pleased with the insinuation that she is pretty.
Just a question, Dawn: If you want to be viewed as smart instead of pretty, then why put so much time, money and effort on your looks, instead of improving your intellect?
C'mon. Perhaps you ought to stop posting so many frivolous party pictures of your lacy upskirts, and instead tell us your opinion on the effects of Bill Gate's resignation from Microsoft?
And don't you start saying my blog is completely vapid too. I never said I wanted to be the class valedictorian!
Oh Xiaxue! Dawn got Tiffany gift on V day leh... And First Class tickets to Bali! Finest luxury resorts! What did Mike give you?
I love Mike, and he is actually attractive and younger than say, 40.
But of course, Dawn is single. Because single girls always get woo-ed, and they agree to going on Valentine's Day holidays with weird, rich old men, and of course... they don't fuck.
Nooo.... Girls stay in hotel rooms with guys all the time and they don't fuck.
LIES, LIES, LIES.
All these lies, idiotic readers just foolishly believe.
So yup. I've decided I'm bitchy enough for today. No wait. I'm not done.
All I wanna make clear is, I disapprove of lying. And I disapprove of lying even more, when all these lies are being used to compare me and the liar.
There is no comparison. I am awesome and not a talentless schmuck.
I am not so insecure that I have to constantly give off an illusion that I am gorgeous and fabulous all the time. Here's a picture of my ingrown armpit hair just to prove this point:
I seriously took 3 days to DIG this one out man. Dug it with a safety pin! Fucking sick. I feel hatred just looking at how goddamn curly it is!
Yes. I do get ingrown hairs and my contacts, hair, eyelashes, nose, and nails are completely fake! Whatever la! Fake then fake lor, why have to lie and pretend otherwise?
p/s: In the same article where Dawn expressly stated her pay, Nuffnang's competitor also talked about how many bloggers they have under them. While Nuffnang told the truth, the competitor, I heard, highly jacked up their numbers.
This makes Nuffnang look shitty. Can you imagine how Nuffnang feels? That's right baby, EXACTLY how I feel towards Dawn.
p/p/s: I'm glad that most people on Alvinology think I'm chioer. Ahem!
I'm totally going to do the fake speech of... Honestly, I'd much rather be the class valedictorian! I mean, like I wish I was smarter instead of chioer than Dawn!! Seriously!
As for my boobs...? Thanks! They are au naturale but squeezed to within an inch of their lives with the chicken fillet bra!
Ahem. I'm not trying to hint anything, but I wish that I had Dawn's boobs! Maybe I oughta make an incision where her brown armpit line is, and insert some implants.
No, really! I've seen some girl's boob job incision scar, and that's where is it! But Dawn's can't be fake because she is of Dutch/Thai/Jap parentage and people of that heritage tend to have humongous tits.
But is it random?
It could be, or it could be that I'm getting to fish compliments of how chio (photoshopped, of course) I look compared to that specially chosen horrid photo of Dawn. You'll never know!! Hahaha!!
And what does it spelled? Greater site hits and site traffic?
So publicity stunt or real spats? You, the reader judge.

Blogger Dawn Yang wants XX to apologise for defaming her; others see the spat as 'entertainment'
By Debbie Yong
The bad blood between the two reigning queens of the local blogosphere has come to a boil.
Last Friday, blogger Wendy Cheng, who goes by the online moniker XX, received a letter from the lawyer of fellow blogger Dawn Yang. It called on Ms Cheng to make a public apology for alleged defamatory remarks she made against Ms Yang, and to propose a settlement for damages.

Ms Cheng has hired a lawyer from Keystone Law Corporation but has declined to say what she will do next. She has until Tuesday to respond to the letter. Ms Yang is currently on holiday in Sydney and could not be reached for comment.

Ok, here we go! First of all, comments are not disabled, don't worry! It's just that right now Haloscan is down (ok it's up again).
In response to Dawn's kindly acceptance of my insincere (deemed by her) apology, I'd like to say a few things.
This is going to be a long, long entry. And also, since I do not want to be shot with another law threat, I will prefix every other sentence with "I think".
All the following are my personal opinions, and as I am highly untrustworthy, I urge the public to not believe anything I say as they are mostly ficticious. Even those things I should mention later are facts are not facts. They are stories spun by myself as I am a little mentally demented. Now I can begin.
First;
Dawn sent me an email today. Since she is so venomously hated right now, I think it's only fair I show you all her, erm, vulnerable side.
To be honest, I felt a bit guilty when I saw this.
But fact is, Dawn, I do not like you - to put as plainly as possible.
I think you trample on every value that I base my whole life on, such as Honesty, Candidness, Bravery, Individuality, and Sincerity, among others. Till this day, I think, you still insist you never went under the knife. I think I've seen you lie about this on tape. I simply cannot respect that.
I think your blog persona amplifies suppositious fronts, hypocrisy, as well as what I detest the most: The lust for money rather than for the passion of blogging and making your voice heard.
It irks me, and I can't pretend I am not irked.
Nonetheless, whatever I think of you, I've always treated you with politeness, as you were always civil to me.
Numerous times in the past, I have also defended you and told your detractors that you are mild and harmless in real life. Plastic surgery is one's personal choice, and people who have something to say against it ought to fuck off.
However, dislike is not something I can control, although I can and have told you why I feel so.
You don't have to feel offended. I dislike a whole truckload of other people... In fact, it's tough to find me someone I like.
In my opinion, rather than bad-mouthing you behind your back and gossiping about you, I felt that telling the truth is always the better option.
I am sorry if you felt hurt from the blog entry you forced me to delete, but don't take it personally. Or do, if you wish to. The blog entry is not written by me, your acquaintance, but me, A BLOGGER - just like how reporters of papers are not being personal when they write bad press about stars.
You can hate me if you want. Just stop being nice, coz I don't want to be fakely nice to someone I don't like, and you being nice totally throws me off. o_O
OK, You weren't nice on your blog. That's cool then.
As for seeing each other in future, I have no intentions of salvaging a friendship, or going through the painful pretense of small-talk. Just ignore me completely, as you would ignore someone you don't like. I'd do the same.
*
You can see I highlighted the last statement in that email.
Dawn claims she never saw her manager's nasty emails to me.
Noel!!! You are doomed lor! Now, I think, even your artiste paiseh to be associated with you!
Or is she? You judge for yourself the series of emails that were sent from Noel to me (and vice versa), that Dawn was cc-ed in.
Not 1... not 2... But 7.
At least 7, since I omitted some.
When? Since yesterday at 8pm.
Count with me!

(Also highlighted what a boot-licking asswipe I think Noel is.
Stay for his artiste in a heartbeat! When boss is cc-ed in the email!
And some more try to preach to me!)

And just to clarify, MY agency is prefectly polite, patient, reasonable, and professional. So no Dawn, I do not KNOW HOW AGENCIES CAN GET.
Maybe Dawn didn't read those emails before she opened her email wrote her email to me. Huh? Possible?
Now that we've got the niceties out of the way, we can start tackling the things she wrote on her latest blog entry.
1) I've got rabid fans.
OH GOD! No... not rabid fans again?! So... Everyone who hates Dawn is automatically my "fan"? (I don't have stupid fans! I am a writer. I have READERS. I'd never call people "fans"... A bit bu yao lian...)
2) I can sue XLX but she cannot sue me.
XLX posted up photos of me with photoshopped cum-shots on my face, repeatedly said I am a cheap whore, etc... I realllllllly don't see a parallel there.
3) If I had the guns to write about it, why not stick to it?
You are right Dawn... I cannot prove certain things. I certainly can't rope Jacky Wu in to testify in court, although he might bring some hilarity to my life if he does.
The statements I made were of my personal opinions. Maybe the rumours were wrong. But Dawn, I have to make this clear. I NEVER STATED THOSE 6 POINTS AS FACTS.
But if you want facts right?
Here... I've give you FACTS. By "facts" I actually mean lies spun by myself.
a) I think you never did join 98.7FM as a DJ, right? Isn't that the same as saying you failed to join?
b) I expressed incredulity that you earn your proclaimed amount. I never said it is a fact that you do not earn so much. I said, even if you do, it's probably from "hidden sneaky advertorials".
Is this fact? I think yes, it is.
Can I prove it? Yes, I think I can.
How? An advertiser sent me an email asking me for an advertorial. I rejected it. A few days later, it was shown on your blog, urging people to give the service a try.
No hint that this was a paid mention was on your blog.
Is it because you did it out of goodwill? A simple check with the advertiser will suffice.
c) Who you went on the Valentine's Day Bali trip with, is fact.
Let's call him Mr. R. How do I know this?
Because I met Mr. R. at Zouk. Twice.
Mr R is 40+, I think. I've heard from some sources he is married, from some sources he is divorced, and from some sources he is single. Nobody knows! But he is extremely wealthy.
Mr. R was very happy to show everyone present, including 2 other witnesses, his digicam. In the digicam are pictures of Dawn and him. The photos include those of Dawn and him hugging in what I deem to be intimate poses (ie hands wrapped around waist).
I saw this with my own eyes, and so did two other people who were with me.
Whether or not Dawn had any relations with him is of course not something I can say.
Enough of the facts (ie lies I spun)... Let's go back to her entry.
4) I'd rather spend the money on Juicy Couture
AHHHHHH!! Super chioness! I just bought this from neimanmarcus.com!!Sorry, you where saying?
5) 2 big bloggers going out together,
what fun that could have been.............
what fun that could have been.............
WOAH! Sorry girl... Don't remember seeing you on Technorati's top 100 blogs of the world......
7)... spiteful incident where she posted pictures of herself
gleefully throwing away the
"Mandarin Cool" campaign postcards
with me on them.
gleefully throwing away the
"Mandarin Cool" campaign postcards
with me on them.
Here it is. Go read if you want!
IS IT SPITEFUL? AM I?
The postcard reads that Dawn usurped me as the hottest blogger in Singapore!
As I have proven in that blog entry, there is no quantifiable measurement of "hotness", and therefore I cannot be usurped!
Who gave them this statement to put into the postcard?
Perhaps it was somebody who keeps harping on this "hottest blogger" title?
I do not think I was being spiteful at all.
Why should I allow this postcard to be spread and have let people have this wrong idea that Dawn is the hottest blogger?
It is not true, and detrimental to my reputation and directly responsible for my potential income.
Furthermore, I was nice and chose to give Dawn the benefit of doubt that:
- She did not supply the Mandarin campaign people with that information;
- She did not check and allow it to be published.
These are very unlikely situations, yet I chose not to blame her.
I THOUGHT I WAS ALL BENEVOLENT AND KINDLY!! WHAT??
Was I being spiteful??????? SPITEFUL TOWARDS WHO??
She's spiteful towards ME lor! She wants such untruths about me to be spread!
7) I penned hate sites before,
and therefore I am responsible for Dawn Wayang.
and therefore I am responsible for Dawn Wayang.
NOW YOU BE CAREFUL THERE DAWN! If you are not careful I could sue you for libel!
Fortunately for you, I will fight with my bare hands.
Let me come clean on the blinkmummy/xlx impersonation thing. I should have done so LONG ago, and bravely stepped up to avoid all the shit. But nonetheless, never too late!
Here's what happened. Skip it if you are not interested.
One day, 2 other girl bloggers and I were having a drink at Wala Wala. During which, we gossiped about this other blogger called Blinkymummy. We all don't like her, although I never heard about her for ages... Dunno she die already not.Anyway, that's cleared up now.
Anyway... So, in a little of a drunken stupor, we said, let's set up a "hate site" for her!!
One of the bloggers is a good friend of mine.
So back at home, we giggled on MSN, and did up the "hate site".
I used my own blogger account to do so.
As a joke, my friend and I thought we would use our own hate site owners' names, namely Xialanxue and her nemesis', to do write the site.
I loosely term it a "hate" site, but it is not. Unlike other hate sites where lies or bad facts of people are exposed, the site was just a joke. A spoof. It was not meant to harm Blinkymummy's reputation.
Included are childish drawings of BM's "byebye"... a 30 year old vulva so long it looks like an octopus and is used as a broom. I know!My friend's so mature, haha!
Of course, I contributed as well. But I don't remember what I wrote la...
I cannot remember the exact sequel of things, but this spoof site we created was not meant to be sneaky. I was prepared 100% to tell people I was involved in doing it. What! It's funny what! It was a joke between us girls. It was not meant for everyone to see.
Anyway, XLX got wind of it, and blew it up into a humongous deal.
Say that I dunno what IMPERSONATE him (I spoofed him, he is not important enough to be impersonated), and that I am a hypocrite because I said I hate Hate sites and yet I set up one anonymously!
I admit I was afraid. I was afraid to come clean because people were all already insulting me. But as time has now proven, the truth is always the best defence.
So anyway, I had to consider that if this thing blows up, it is not only ME getting the heat, but also my two other friends, correct?
Therefore we decided the best course of action is to deny we did it.
Right move? Terribly wrong. So anyhow, they managed to prove I wrote it, and blah blah blah etc. Even more afraid and of course I don't dare to say I co-created the site right?
No more lies, and NO DAWN, I AM NOT THE CREATOR OF YOUR HATE SITE - http://xanga.com/dawn_wayang.
This I swear upon the lives of my unborn children.
You've got to be kidding me right? Don't update my own blog and go and update your hate site? Got so boh liao or not?
But in any case, the hate site is quite smashingly written, I must say. Witty! I do like it! It does have a little of my style. :) Which is an awesome style!!
8) I am upset over being called a prefect
and she, the school belle.
and she, the school belle.
Siao. I never said I was upset over that.
I am just disgusted that, you, I think, pretended not to be pleased to be called the school belle and wanted to be valedictorian. That's all.
9) We have a few similarities.
No Dawn... We are not similar.
I did though, find someone quite (but not quite) similar to you.
She is Arissa.
A little introduction.
Arissa (Zhen Shan) is a Singaporean girl who is studying in the states. She's extremely pretty, and comes from a very wealthy family.
She is 100% natural, and a friend of mine. Not close, but we do sometimes talk a bit online.
Since Arissa was in secondary school, according to KK, she was already infamous in Singapore. Already gorgeous since a young age, all the boys school and girls school people of their batch know her - and I dunno if KK is exaggerating as usual or not la, but she was saying how Arissa's features were perfect and she has naturally rosy cheeks that glow and be seen from a distance... etc etc.
Arissa's not only gorgeous, her lifestyle is enviable. She has all the gorgeous brands, hangs out with loads of famous people, and was in Vanness's MTV too.
Not only that, she has immense style and character. She's not your traditional shu nu. AND she is nice and smart.
Why is Zhen Shan not a famous celebrity yet? My guess is that she doesn't crave it. She's not a famewhore, unlike somebody...
Well... Does Arissa sounds like someone people would want to copy?
I would say definitely.
I, for one, was inclined to pierce my helix coz she looks so nice with it.
But how far would one go to copy somebody else?
To sacrifice all their individuality to BE someone else?
This is Arissa.
100% natural - no Plastic
100% natural - no Plastic
I won't post up too many of her photos since she is a really private person, but these photos are on her website, so I guess it should be ok.
If you want me to take it off ZS, please don't hesitate to email me: xiaxue@gmail.com. I didn't see you online so I can't ask you!!
And here's Dawn, when she first got "famous":
Coloured contacts? Check.
Eyebrows thick and brushed downwards? Check.
Head tilted down? Check.
Pursed lips? Check.
Similarities do not end here.
And they most certainly don't START from there either!
Even as a toddler......... they look alike.
If that's Dawn real, unphotoshopped baby photo, that is.
How would I know? I'm just a bystander.
Is this Dawn?
She never specified on her blog. How Eurasian-looking!
Feel like stroking one and beating the other one up...
Dawn's purple Balenciaga
Arissa's purple Balenciaga...
Oops! I mean Balenciagas. With an S.
But of course, it's just a bag.
Dawn's allowed to have the same bag as Arissa!
Arissa's stuff, posted eons ago.
And below, Dawn's stuff.
Do note the bluish colour tone of the picture(s).

Which is why Dawn says... Don't compare!
And, my friends... one more for the night:
I THINK, before she got noticed Dawn used to go to Arissa's website and left comments on the noticeboard.
I THINK she then stopped leaving comments one day, and disappeared.
I THINK when she reappeared, she was a mini Arissa... but a fake one. Tries hard to imitate, but fails in every.single.respect.
The above is purely my opinion.
Lastly, about the armpits... I am sorry!! I thought that was a boob job incision scar. It appears you merely have a dirty armpit.
p/s: Wanbao called. They seem to want to focus on me cursing cancer on Dawn (it's a joke yo! Can't take a joke?!?) rather than any rumours on Dawn. I'm telling ya they hate me! Let's see how it turns out tomorrow.
UPDATE:
TWO MORE PHOTOS A BLOG READER SENT
Arissa's website
Dawn's website
Right.
Arissa's website
Dawn's website
Right.
Also... I don't think I'm being mean. I anyhow blogged some stuff, and I got slapped with a law suit. It would have ended there, but threatening to sue me was cowardly. So this time round I only write things I have proof of lor... Rather, my opinions with the proof that I base my opinions on. You don't have to believe me.
And as for how Dawn would feel... How's that my responsibility? She has multiple other sites all saying exactly the same things, in even worse languages. I am merely repeating them. If she doesn't wish for people to say these things about her, she has a blog, two hands, a brain, and she can defend herself - just like how she did by casting doubt on my credibility with the mentions of my hate site incident.
p/p/s: Please do not involve Arissa in this. Any comments that compromises on Arissa's privacy (ie her website, personal info, etc), or negative about her, will be immediately deleted. I'm sure you all understand. Thanks! :)
----------------------------------
As time goes by
Date: Sunday, 06 Jul 2008 19:29
I've noticed that as time goes by the comments left seem to be more and more stupid. Seems like a lot of irrelevant people are now talking when they don't even know what the hell was going on.
The most hilarious has to be that Dawn and I were making this up for news.
Ha. I don't think so. And no, didn't earn a single cent from it.
(Actually someone DID donate to me $20 on paypal saying she's totally willing to pay for a good show, but that's it...)
Anyway, since Dawn did not reply, I will cease to comment on this issue from now on.
I'd like to blog about something else, but nothing much interesting is happening, so maybe later, eh?
I'd like to also add that I am not moderating comments and have not been checking them (they are moving WAY too fast!!) so I don't know what you people are saying in them... Any comment that's not left by me by no means represents my opinion, and are not to be believed unless it is accompanied by solid proof.
For example, do not leave irresponsible comments such as so-and-so is fucking for money. That's not nice for ANY female, and certainly baseless. I honestly don't think Dawn would resort to that. Mr. R is a pretty outgoing and funny person, and I do not think it is impossible that a girl will date him for things other than his wealth.
I try my best to delete baseless and irresponsible comments, but that is dependent on me seeing them.
I'm going to watch an ep of Gossip Girl on sidereel.com, than gonna sleepytime!!
Good night ya all!!
xoxo
UPDATE: Stupid people are really annoying!!! Comments moderated. For ALL posts. And yes, comments daring me to delete them WILL be deleted. How easy is that? *Poof* gone.

I'm sure everyone is curious what's happening now.
At around 9.30pm last night, I retracted my entry and put up an "apology" for Dawn, as you all have seen.
Why? Because defamation laws are very biased towards the plaintiffs in Singapore. A lot of the things I said in the deleted entry might be true, but I am not be able to prove them, despite many of you sending me valuable information and offering witnesses. :)
Dawn's modelling agency, Looque, requested I retract and apologize to avoid a lawsuit, and so I did.
Well, this morning I woke up to 2 more emails from Dawn's manager (among many, many phone calls and emails since yesterday) saying that my apology is insincere (on the contrary, it is very, very sincere), and nitpicking on the word "apparently".
Is it not apparent? I thought it is!
He also left 2 more comments on the previous entry under the name Noel - calling me riff-raff. Riff-raff... Common people. Lower class people.
I guess, Dawn and him are the upper class then? Hmmm... Go search and read if you wish. How very professional.
With the threat of a lawsuit, he informed me that Dawn is still very upset (very concerned), unsatisfied with my apology and retraction, and wants me to:
1) Remove all comments.
2) Include this following line:
"I, Xia Xue, realise that I do not have the right to post up my opinion, and hearsay from other bloggers as facts."
Wow. Is this guy FOR REAL? I do not have the rights to post up my opinion? Why don't you make me go on bended knee and eat a pile of shit in front of you while at this? Here's my blog userid and password. Go ahead! Take it! It's your blog now!
Here's my opinion of YOU, Noel. I think... You are a first-class ass-rimmer. I can't prove that of course, but that's what I conclude from your emails.
BLOGGERS HAVE A RIGHT TO POST UP THEIR OPINIONS. THAT'S WHAT BLOGS ARE FOR. Not like that of your client's, I'm sure.
In the blog comment he left he contradicts himself:
Here's my response to him regarding his request for me to remove my comments, including those anti-me and pro-dawn (not that many):
I quote from his email:
NATO. No action, talk only. What a bunch of bullies.
Any lawyers reading this are welcome to email me if you wish to help.
Feel free to leave comments, but beware! I'll give away your IP addresses!! Hahaha

In the blog comment he left he contradicts himself:
"I have no qualms about Wendy stating her opinions as I for one feel very strongly about people being able to do so."Riight... So it's ok if I say... Example: "Dawn's deluded and living in her lies"? That's a question!! It's not that I mean. I just asked if it's ok to state my opinions like that. Is it ok?
Here's my response to him regarding his request for me to remove my comments, including those anti-me and pro-dawn (not that many):
YOU ASK DAWN TO DELETE ALL NEGATIVE COMMENTS OF ME FROM HER BLOG TOO.Correct what. Why can Dawn allow bad comments of me on her blog but I can't do the same?
That's only fair, isn't it?
After that, you ask her to apologize SINCERELY to me, and state the following in this exact template:
I moderated and allowed libelous comments of Xiaxue including:
1) Xiaxue is jealous
2) Xiaxue is slutty
3) Xiaxue is a bimbo
4) Xiaxue is cheap
5) Xiaxue is a geylang whore
6) Xiaxue is positively disgusting
7) Xiaxue is a tranny
8) Xiaxue is insecure
9) Xiaxue is a hobbit.
when I have nothing to substantiate these allegations.
I would like to apologise to Xiaxue for any harm or distress I may have caused her.
I can prove in court, well, some... of those are not true, particularly that one of a hobbit. They are mystical creatures created by Tolkien and not real.
Fortunately, I am not a petty little bitch and I am magnanimous enough to allow Dawn to allow such dauntingly hurtful comments about me.
I am sorry I cannot control what people wish to say about Dawn.
But if you wish, I can fulfil for you the part where I delete pro-Dawn comments though, because that's not much work. Do you wish it?
If you want to see the comments deleted, here's what you can do. I've complied a list of the IP addresses some people who wrote bad stuff about Dawn, and you can go ahead and threaten to sue them all:

I quote from his email:
Now Wendy, since everyone will know it's (the apology) forced, this would make things a lot easier, and to hopefully end this soon I have decided to spoonfeed you on what exactly you can do and write to end this now.Unfortunately, Noel, I am not your puppet and I will not be "spoonfed" by anyone, least of all you, a mere manager to a nobody.

A revelation of feelings
Date: Tuesday, 01 Jul 2008 23:19
THIS BLOG ENTRY HAS BEEN DELETED DUE TO AN IMPENDING LAWSUIT.APPARENTLY, THE POINTS
1) That Tinsel Management dropped Dawn,
2) That Dawn had failed to join 98.7FM as a DJ,
3) That Dawn lied about an offer by Jacky Wu,
4) That Dawn has breast implants and armpit scars,
5) That she lied about how much she was earning, and
6) That she had lied about her heritage.
ARE ALL NOT BASED ON FACT.
I APOLOGISE FOR THE DISTRESS THAT THIS DELETED ENTRY MIGHT HAVE CAUSED DAWN YANG, AND HOPE SHE GETS CANCER. JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100% KIDDING!! I MEAN I WISH HER NOTHING BUT WELL.
----------------------------------
A revelation of feeling
Monday, 30 June 2008Sorry for the lack in blogging recently. Very busy with writing my movie script!
You know, I've been wanting to blog about this for some time now, and this issue has been bugging me.
Yup, everyone's favourite plastic queen: Dawn Yang.
Dawn has been nothing but nice and sweet to me everytime we met, and she never did do anything to me personally, which is why I've always refrained from saying anything bad about her.
But as time goes by and more and more of her lies are exposed (See here, here and here. I wrote none of these I assure you!), my distaste for her has been increasing - so much so that I am ashamed to admit that I felt glee when I saw her sore eyes. I KNOW! I said I am ashamed!
I can't say I've ever been close to her, but I've certainly shown on my blog that I am neutral (towards liking, perhaps) about her - but I am actually not, and I am sick of pretending! Gotta stop being a hypocrite.
It's just so tough to be mean to someone who is nice to you, you know?
So yup, once and for all, I DO NOT like Dawn.
I've settled into a lum nua position where I don't go to parties anymore, so I guess I won't be seeing her around. If I do, I guess I will run the other direction. OMG I so don't wanna make small talk about my feelings...!
The last straw that broke the camel's (yes la I am that camel) was the Zaobao article that's recently published.
While I am writing scripts, filming, and working 10 hours straight for a decent advertorial (Indulgz!!!), some other talentless schmuck is being compared to me.
SHE IS ALSO A BLOGGER.
A BLOGGER LIKE ME.
I AM A BLOGGER BECAUSE I ACTUALLY WRITE. I may not be Charles Dickens, but at least, I have some semblance of the courage to voice out my opinions - something which bloggers are respected for.
I feel completely disillusioned about being a blogger recently. In fact, I feel EMBARRASSED to tell people I am a blogger.
AND WHAT ARE BLOGGERS NOWADAYS?
Any old fart of a cheap whore who posts up their party photos are now all considered bloggers too! What's this? Why do these girls persist in infiltrating every occupation? They are "models", and now, they are "bloggers" too!
I despise being compared to Dawn.
Why should she be a famous blogger?
She's not funny... She's not talented... She's not opinionated.
She's just a consistent and persistent liar. She should be in her right place - at the background where all the other girly cam-whoring bloggers are.
She embarrasses what a blog advertorial ought to look like.
She embarrasses other bloggers who are serious about taking blogging as a full-time job. Think her mentions of brands on her site are coming from her heart? Think again. They are paid unscrupulous businesses who have also approached me, but I turned them down because I INSIST ON SHOWING IT IS A PAID AD. That's blog integrity that every blogger should have.
I've insisted upon it for YEARS, and it has cost me monetary losses. But someone else, someone dishonest, is benefiting from it, yet nobody is faulting her. It greatly saddens me.
Is Angela baby a blogger? She certainly has a blog with a high readership... Nope, she is a model/actress who blogs.
What's Dawn then?
Did she go anywhere with her entertainment career? From 2005 when Jean Marie Tan of The Newpaper prophesized how super shining her stardom's gonna be, Dawn failed to join the Taiwan entertainment industry with a big bang.
She took part in one measly variety show as a random hot chick, after being there for months.
Tinsel management dropped her. (Rumour, but either way, she's not with Tinsel anymore)
She failed to join 9.87 FM as a DJ.
She failed to even get Rozz's part in Girls Out Loud with me.
Can't sing, can't act, certainly can't host. Only can camwhore. My... That's a talent! Maybe she ought to become a blogger!
She's reduced to blogging for Stomp ($2k a month), and churning out crappy ads on her blog for $4-6k a month. Surely that amount (if true at all - more about that later) is shitty for a superstar?
So here's the conclusion:
Dawn's a desperate wannabe who blogs. NOT A BLOGGER.
So for the last time, since I've said so in early 2005 - STOP COMPARING ME TO HER, BECAUSE SHE IS NOT A BLOGGER.
What has all these got to do with ME?
PLENTY.
Why? Because, as I said, I am CONSTANTLY being compared to her.
And on what basis am I being compared to her on? HER LIES.
Lies about how she was signed by Jacky Wu, lies about her mega-dollar deals, lies about her salary, lies about her heritage...
Hello? IS THIS FAIR TO ME?
People say, Oh Xiaxue! Look at Dawn! People got given an LG phone/whatever product leh! You leh?
I never took up that offer because I personally don't like LG phones (although I'm using the Shine now and it's not bad), and I don't want to get a free gift and not write anything for them.
It's the same for every other product. I am not going to make use of my blog to become a bloody sell-out!
Oh Xiaxue! Look at Dawn! She's earning so much from her blog! Confirm more than you.
She dares to claim $4k to $6k as a stable income for herself, when I know exactly how much those advertorials cost - because the same people also came to me, and couldn't afford my fees.
I can safely tell you that my advertorials cost twice as much as hers, and even I don't dare to claim to earn $2k - $4k (if you minus Stomp) each and every month.
I charge more, because I actually do put in effort into doing up a good advert, and not just flip my hair (extensions) and cut and paste some bullshit from the product's website.
Even if she does earn so much, so what? It only shows that her blog is laden with sneaky hidden advertorials. Kenny limits his advertorials to 2 a month. I think I shall adhere to that from now on too.
Oh Xiaxue! Look at Dawn! Maxim/FHM magazine cover! You?
Riiight... It's totally my fault that my body's not as hot. And honestly, after my disaster of a Maxim shoot from eons ago, I don't give a flying fuck about these men's magazines. It's totally something to be proud of that a girl can only grace magazines when she takes off almost of all of her clothes.
Oh Xiaxue! Dawn is class belle leh. You ugly prefect!
Ooooh. She says she would MUCH rather be the valedictorian!
Oh really? As if she isn't totally pleased with the insinuation that she is pretty.
Just a question, Dawn: If you want to be viewed as smart instead of pretty, then why put so much time, money and effort on your looks, instead of improving your intellect?
C'mon. Perhaps you ought to stop posting so many frivolous party pictures of your lacy upskirts, and instead tell us your opinion on the effects of Bill Gate's resignation from Microsoft?
And don't you start saying my blog is completely vapid too. I never said I wanted to be the class valedictorian!
Oh Xiaxue! Dawn got Tiffany gift on V day leh... And First Class tickets to Bali! Finest luxury resorts! What did Mike give you?
I love Mike, and he is actually attractive and younger than say, 40.
But of course, Dawn is single. Because single girls always get woo-ed, and they agree to going on Valentine's Day holidays with weird, rich old men, and of course... they don't fuck.
Nooo.... Girls stay in hotel rooms with guys all the time and they don't fuck.
LIES, LIES, LIES.
All these lies, idiotic readers just foolishly believe.
So yup. I've decided I'm bitchy enough for today. No wait. I'm not done.
All I wanna make clear is, I disapprove of lying. And I disapprove of lying even more, when all these lies are being used to compare me and the liar.
There is no comparison. I am awesome and not a talentless schmuck.
I am not so insecure that I have to constantly give off an illusion that I am gorgeous and fabulous all the time. Here's a picture of my ingrown armpit hair just to prove this point:
[image of armpit hair]
I seriously took 3 days to DIG this one out man. Dug it with a safety pin! Fucking sick. I feel hatred just looking at how goddamn curly it is!
Yes. I do get ingrown hairs and my contacts, hair, eyelashes, nose, and nails are completely fake! Whatever la! Fake then fake lor, why have to lie and pretend otherwise?
p/s: In the same article where Dawn expressly stated her pay, Nuffnang's competitor also talked about how many bloggers they have under them. While Nuffnang told the truth, the competitor, I heard, highly jacked up their numbers.
This makes Nuffnang look shitty. Can you imagine how Nuffnang feels? That's right baby, EXACTLY how I feel towards Dawn.
p/p/s: I'm glad that most people on Alvinology think I'm chioer. Ahem!
I'm totally going to do the fake speech of... Honestly, I'd much rather be the class valedictorian! I mean, like I wish I was smarter instead of chioer than Dawn!! Seriously!
As for my boobs...? Thanks! They are au naturale but squeezed to within an inch of their lives with the chicken fillet bra!
[image of armpit]
Ahem. I'm not trying to hint anything, but I wish that I had Dawn's boobs! Maybe I oughta make an incision where her brown armpit line is, and insert some implants.
No, really! I've seen some girl's boob job incision scar, and that's where is it! But Dawn's can't be fake because she is of Dutch/Thai/Jap parentage and people of that heritage tend to have humongous tits.

But is it random?
It could be, or it could be that I'm getting to fish compliments of how chio (photoshopped, of course) I look compared to that specially chosen horrid photo of Dawn. You'll never know!! Hahaha!!
