Hey, I’m getting hits from all over all because I submitted yesterday’s article to Problooger’s Group Writing Project. So if you too want to have a link in Darren Rowse blog, go and write something and submit it. Now don’t go shouting all over the sphere like " woo.. ah pek very lansi oredi. he got international readers!" . Don’t. because all these are curiosity clicks. I won’t get any one bookmarking or giving me a permanant link from all those hits. It’s a one night stand. if i may use the phrase. They come, have their way with me and then leave. No introduction, not even leaving a name. Felt like i have been raped a hundred times! I have a sore ass now.
Malaysian Blogs like mine don’t have international appeal. We differ too much in thoughts, upbringing and culture, especially with friends from The US of A. They will never ever understand our inner feelings and our sense of humor. What makes us die of laughter will have them thinking us as naive. What makes them reel with guffaws will have us thinking that are we not intelligent enough to understand their jokes. Have you ever seen a stand up comedian in the US, on stage telling his jokes? It’s supposed to be damn funny because his audience is laughing themselves mad right? And you. Do you find anything humorous in his jokes? Not me. I can’t even make out the punch line, which is suppose to bring the house down. Maybe it’s just me. Maybe i lost my sense of humor. But then, I laugh at Mr Bean wor. So I must still have a little bit of humor in me.
Talking about Mr. Bean, I think I can relate to British humor more. Like it or not, people my age got a British style kind of education when small. We use the British System back then. So I have a better understanding of British Culture. Everyone knows what a mantelpiece is in Malaysia. Why, because we have been exposed to all those British literature, but a couple from Ireland was very surprise when I told them to place the picture I took with them on the mantelpiece. That’s the difference. That’s why they still think we live on trees.
