Who? Me?!!!

I know I can write a bit. Some people say I'm funny. Others say that I'm pretty inspiring. I know I do have some fans of my blog (All 5 of you, please raise your hands!)

But, me, talented? Me?!!

Well, maybe I'm one of those who actually know words that have more than 2 syllables, and who actually knows how to use them. Ok, maybe I do read quite a bit, ok, quite a lot. And maybe I do belong to the category of people who actually like reading Jane Austen.

But, me, talented? Isn't that a bit, well, much?!

I've never thoughted of myself as "talented". After all, anybody can write. So I always thought I was one of those "anybodies". But in the space of one week, I've actually 2 people come up to me to tell me I'm talented. (Wow.. That's quite a record, for me. I'm more used to people telling me to "shut up lah"!)

Ok, it's true that the 2 people who said I was talented aren't, well, exactly the greatest authorities on 'talent'. One doesn't even read much, and the other, I affectionately called Sotong. And well, we all know what sotongs are like.... It's kind of hard to take very seriously the words of a squid. (You know I still lup you Sotong!)

But still, it's nice to be thought talented, even by people who may not recognise talent even when it bites them. I know you people really mean it from the bottom of your heart, and all that. And thanks very much, but until somebody actually puts money, real money and not Monopoly money on the table, and commisions me to write an epic novel that's already slated to win the Pulitzer Book Price, even before the book has ever to be written, I think I'll still stick to my humble blog scribblings.

Or.....

Until I get at least 1,000 comments on this blog entry, asking me, no, begging me to start writing my book novel.....
