Ganked from ickleoriental<\/a>:<\/p>\n

1. Why did you start your blog?<\/strong>
\nAll along, I had the habit of penning down any thoughts on my diary. Sometimes, writing really<\/i> does wonders~ No matter how mad or sad I’m feeling, I feel better after writing. Hee.. I kinda forgotton who or what really inspired me to start a blogger account. But I guess I started off long ago typing stuffs on notepad and saving as private entries, coz I got all lazy to write with a pen. hah! On 2nd Sept 2004, I suddenly felt like it, and went ahead to register an account on Blogger<\/a>. I still remember my first entry<\/a> was on myself.. i actually wrote this on my Friendster profile, and later copied over to start off this blog. Keke.. I have also been opening a number of accounts everywhere! (E.g. blogger, LJ, multiply, vox, wretch, wordpress, photoblog..) Thanks to Tricia, I even got myself a domain name for the blog! Haha! I own 2 blogs, a public and a private one! =p <\/font><\/p>\n

2. How did you come up with your blog name?<\/strong>
\nI wanted things to be simple, I wanted to be a simple-minded and honest person.. at least to myself. And I din want my blog to be easily searched, so I used a very rare word.. i dun even know if there is such a word in the english dictionary. “uncomplicatez” was the blogname.. and later changed to “uncomplicatezz” and now “ladysuki uncomplicatezz”<\/font><\/p>\n

3. Do your friends and family know about your blog? What do they think of it?<\/strong>
\nYeah.. first spreaded among my Singtel colleagues… some other close friends of mine… and of course my Bro.. they started off reading everyday.. leaving me comments, and soon it became a very “IN” thing in our office, everyone got their own blogs. but till date, only left a few survivors who are still frequently blogging. <\/font><\/p>\n

4. How do you write posts?<\/strong>
\nThe initial blog was boring, using the default blogger template, without any pictures.. Blog format was mainly “dear-diary” style, and usage of Singlish\/Chinese..<\/p>\n

Then, I came to learn about changing templates and layouts, playing with the HTML\/CSS coding, adding tagboards and all sorta links and widgets, posting more pics on the blog.. which kinda kicked off the habit of meddling photos in photoshop and even creating\/editing my own video clips. Hee..<\/p>\n

Blogging on almost anything<\/i>.. with whatever<\/i> emotions I’m feeling, be it sad, happy, angry, excited or bored. It can be in picture form, video form, in wordy-lengthy form, in chinese, in english, or even one-line phrases.. Embedding Youtube clips, mp3, photologs, online articles, movies reviews, music album reviews, song lyrics, any other interesting topics I read and hear about.<\/font><\/p>\n

5. Have you ever had a troll or had to delete unkind comments?<\/strong>
\nI enjoy the interaction between my readers and I, so feel free to leave comments!! Most of the time, I will only delete SPAM comments lar, there are hardly any unkind comments since my readers are all my friends. ^.^<\/font>
\n
\n6. Do you check your stats? Do you care how many people read your blog? If you do care, how to you increase traffic?<\/strong>
\nNot really leh.. what’s the hit now? oh… 35,697 already!? Haha.. don’t really bother.<\/font><\/p>\n

7. What kind of blogs\/posts interest you?<\/strong>
\nTrue, honest and interesting blogs. Expressing about themselves, but not too lengthy and chim<\/i> pls. =p Blogs with great designs also interest and inspire me! Oh ya, celebrities’ and friends’ blogs too!
\n<\/font>
\n8. What do you like and dislike about blogging?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Likes: You can say blogging has became part of my life, more like a profession to me.. lol, Most of you should be aware that my blog has become the best channel to know about me~ Heehe.. it serves as my Calendar\/Organiser Diary too, at many times, I hv to track back certain dates, I juz hv to refer to my blog! Haha!<\/p>\n

Seems to hv pulled distance closer among people. Doesn’t matter whether you really know each other personally or not, especially friends who could hardly catch up with! we get to know and understand each other! Sometimes, I do recap reading my old posts once in awhile too~ it’s fun, you know? =D<\/p>\n

Also learnt how to express better in words, pics and paragraphs.. no longer the “dear-diary” style, ok.. I even check up the Dictionary.com at times to find the correct and suitable word to express myself. Hee..<\/p>\n

Dislikes: Due to certain reasons, I could not or might not want to share with certain people.. for e.g. Colleagues. Well, in case it get all sensitive sometimes.<\/p>\n

Also hate it when I wana express somethin on my own blog, but sometimes I can’t.. I really can’t. Coz some meddlesome will probe and ask and ask.. which will kinda pisses me. True, it’s my own space, but after all, you can’t really control who’s reading, who’s not reading, and what kinda response you will get after they read. You know.. sometimes, there are certain things, I would prefer to share with selective people..<\/p>\n

I guess that’s the contradictive part about online blogging.<\/font><\/p>\n\n\n
