I find quite a bit of this material on blogs from young people in Singapore and Malaysia. There may be more. Lots more. A recent post by the extremely popular Xiaxue, a Singapore hottie, led me to many more English-language blogs by Southeast Asian young people. It also gave me a colourful tour of Disney’s Hong Kong establishment. I’ll tell you right now that I don’t give a rat’s ass about things Disney. But Xiaxue’s report and pictures of fellow bloggers getting the five-star treatment was a hoot. (Image above, from xiaxue.blogspot.com, of Princess Aud, Redmummy, Xiaxue (Wendy) and Cheesie)
Need I tell you the report is full of pictures of pretty blogging girls? Asian hotties? I do like ethnic Chinese girls’ looks and there’s much to like in this report as well as the reports by the other blogging hotties. And there’s food. Do Asian girls like food? Do humans breathe? If the posts aren’t full of young Asian women having fun, they’re full of amazing, mouth-watering, beautifully prepared and presented food. I’d recommend these blogs if your only interest is Asian cuisine.
Then again, how does a girl survive if she doesn't know how to make a hair bun. You'll get that too in these blogs. Visit cheeserland.com and you'll see Cheesie (you won't mind her screen name too much after you get a look at the hottie herself) shows how to do it [Update: dropped 1-min version for longer one. More is better, isn't it? ]. Watch a new, longer YouTube video:
Xiaxue, a.k.a. Wendy, is a multi-award winning Asian blogger. It's interesting that her rants and antics are rather atypically Asian. Which is maybe why she's so popular. She doesn’t hold back when something bothers her such as a whinging reader or poor restaurant service or something done in bad taste. I like that. And so do her readers, it appears. Her site registers some 20,000 pageviews a day! I’ve seen as many as 200 comments on a post.
Note that Xiaxue’s blog takes quite a while to load, because of the heavy image load. It took maybe 2 minutes on my 10 megabit service to fully acquire the page. I will also warn you that her language is colourful. This is not for office computers not because of the pictures, although your buddies might not leave your work station if they get a eyeful of the Asian pretties, but of the oversized displays of the f-word. Many of these Asian girl bloggers use the f-word. Liberally. Speaking of language . . . the blogs are a mix of English and Singlish, as well as being peppered with (what I think is) Malaysian and Chinese expressions, but transliterated into English. One blog in particular, Redmummy.com, is full of multi-language expressions. Couldn’t fathom too much of it, I have to admit. But then, it’s not aimed at a Canadian dude the other side of the planet.
