Found this blog by accident.

"""It was my misfortune of browsing through some blogs. The American blogs were fine. The Indian blogs were fine. The Kuwaiti blogs were fine. The Malaysian blogs were fine too.What made my blood boil was the SINGAPOREAN blogs. OH MY GOD. Here's a cruel sampling:

ahax...happi a bit 2dae cause MT exam over le :p...e paper okie lahx...sum difficult...HE stressin me lehx...fin so fast...both e compo n paper...hahax...jus now after sch saw those BITCHES @ e bus-stop...cant stand them...sum okie lahx sum really irritatin lorx...TW ish 1 of them...c boyz onli scream lyke end of e world lyke tat...a bus came but den alot of ppl so we skip unfortunately, THEY aso skip e bus...!@#$%^&*....haiz...den they lyke tokin bout us lorx...its damn obvious...also those malay ppl frm NT came n keep beatin e metal thin...we leanin on it lorx...pa jiao lahx...wan 2 scream @ them n throw them into e rubbish bin since they so close 2 it...heheh...den HE n his buddies came...den got 293 so BITCHES went over n HE too...sigh...den ganma n bla bla bla came...mummy ish supposed 2 cum with them 1...but got tuition...haiz...poor thin...aniwaes back 2 e topic...after they left i was damn irritated liao...den blablabla came which make me wan 2 kill ppl liao...hahax...

What the hell was THAT?!?!? I read through it half-way and fell into a coma. Is this what our country is producing? If a world-class education system yields this, i'm moving to Cambodia. How long does it take to spell "to"? Do you have to use 2?!??! OH my god..And another thing: the blogs are so...empty. Here's what they have in common:

1) Singapore Idol
2) How hard the science paper was
3) What somebody did to somebody

That's all they talk about. Other blogs are different. I've seen blogs from other countries with subject matter ranging from the election, to the Mount St Helens eruption. But the Singaporean bloggers probably don't even know their Yusof Islams from their Osama bin Ladens.

I couldnt agree more with him. There is something seriously wrong with the way singaporeans write and express themselves in writing. Is singapore the only country that uses MsN alot to the extent that the quality of writing decreases? No. Other countries don't have such problems, why singapore?

y is dis wae of riting onli cuming frm sgreans??? y we so diff??? i omos abit ashamed of dis wae of riting.

Sure, there is always freedom of expression. But what you want to say must be legible in order for people to actually understand it! To end it off, here is a really good blog that has good content and good writing.
