'Kepo'ism

Nowadays, 'Kepo'ism has became a culture, especially in the chinese community. Not sure whether this is an evolutionary trend or not, cuz 'kepo'ing other's business had became an interaction pattern among any peers group, from the youngsters to 70 years old ah ma. In order to gain acceptance in the group, a person simply have to adapt and pick up the kepo attitude. The one who kepo the most will outbeat all others and survive in these kepo age and hence this proved Darwin 'the fittest will survive' theory.

Ok, thats all crap. But seriously, this blog isn't meant to critisize anyone, in fact the subject of this blog is me myself, and the person i'm kepo about is the famous blogger Kenny Sia. I was first introduced to www.kennysia.com by Peter. He emphasized greatly on the fact that he is a SARWAKIEN. and i was thinking, hmmm.... not bad, someone from Sarawak finally make his way to the blogger stardom, Sarawak Boleh!! However, i was a bit disspointed when i first visited his site, the layout was quite ok, nothing special, the blogger quite ok, cute and chubby (no offence, i like chubby guy, my bf used to be chubby boy too), the content quite ok, funny and talks a lot about Sarawak. Well, at least, no vulgarity, thumbs up! Vulgarity is such a corrupted and shallow way used by the youngsters nowadays to express themself in the blogs, its a shame really.

Days passed by, to my own surprise, i was hooked. (*HOOKED* means that i become a constant visitor of his site, not with the person himself). I enjoyed the great depth of humor and creative in his words, and as a blogger my self, i recognize the heart and sweat a person pours into words when i read one.

So come back to the kepo thing, One day, (God know why) the kepo bug had tempted me to look back at Kenny Sia's old entries in his blog. Surprise, surprise, surprise, i was deeply touched by the sentimental side of him under the camouflage skin of his humorous blogs. Those reflection and memories from Perth really make me nearly shed a tear. Hence, without hesitation, i wrote an email and asking him for password to read some of his password restricted entries.

So here i am now, a victim of the keposim culture, not sure why, The personal stories of other people is always intriguing and mysterious. i guess curiosity indeed kills the cat.
