KLK 1101E - KLK BGR

As the representative of all Mangammas and Sornakkas, I take very seriously the welfare of our female KLKs. Indeed, I think its time I share some priceless information with my sisters around the continent.

1.Thou Shalt Knowest Not Thine Status

The best way to go about it to never completely disclose the status of your relationship. I mean why stop at one when you can have aplenty? There was a reason the “Its complicated” button was created in Friendster. I mean it doesn’t really matter if your musang of a boyfriend and you have been together for three and a half years. As long as there are still people who are interested in you, you’re still single. Until at least you get spotted making out on the dance floor at Explosion Nite.

2.Thou Shalt Be The Biggest Two Faced Swine

See it doesn’t matter if you never had an issue with his smoking habits. But once his friends are all around at the chalet, that’s when you kick up a huge fuss and start whining about how he NEVER and you mean NEVER listens to you. It doesn’t matter if you knew he’s been smoking for the last 232353 years. It just matters that right NOW, you think he shouldn’t be smoking. Call it marking your territory. Call it showing the rest whose boss. I call it KLKialism.

3.Holden ye property as tightly as ye may.

The most important criteria to make a true blue KLK girlfriend lies in your ability to grip. Yes, the longer your blood red nails, the better. Its only fair that everytime some other unsuspecting girl walks around you dig your nails under your boyfriend’s forearm. I mean he is yours and what on earth possessed that $#^$#$#@$#@%#%#%# (insert as many profanities) of a woman to walk past him. See, freedom of passage works only until you decide to strut past anyone vaguely Indian.


4.Thou Shalt Wear the Pants over your Panties for eternity

Is it just me or do we all suffer from an obsessive compulsive disorder? An article from Essortment.com states the following as signs of control-craving disorders. Tell me if I am the only one who finds this eerily familiar. "Common ideas include persistent fears that harm may come to self or a loved one, an unreasonable concern with becoming contaminated, or an excessive need to do things correctly or perfectly. These thoughts tend to be intrusive, unpleasant, and produce a high degree of anxiety. Sometimes the obsessions are of a violent or a sexual nature, or concern illness." Nuff said. There is a Chandramukhi in every one of us. Lakalakalaka to that.

5.Learnest not Closure. Seekest always patchbacks

Now if you’re a true blue KLK gf, you would have learnt one thing in all your years of blue contact lens wearing, cheap hair rebonding days. That relationships are never meant to be closed! If you so much so as decide to date a guy, you are pretty much stuck with falling back to his trap no matter how many girlfriends he has cheated on you with. It doesn’t matter if he’s kicked you or even missed murdering you by a split second because its LOVE. And no really, we KLKwomen love feeling like victims of abuse and like second class citizens. Why? A case of kallanaalum kanavan pullanaalum purushan maybe?

[Editor: *Applause* Now you know why I call you Tekka Thayamma]

Miss Vasantham - Question 10

Are we done? I suppose we are. By the time we got thru it all, we became lexiconists, thesaurians, and now we gotta go re-sit our O Level English. Thanks ladies. You've been a great help. Not!

Suppose you are crowned Miss Vasantham 2006 and you are offered a movie role in Kollywood, would you accept it and why?

Yuvaneswari

'I would reject the offer as it is definitely not relevant to my ambition. It could in fact be a hindrance to what I really want to be in life'

You know why. I hear your sniggers. What was her life mission again? "To provide a beauty service with a different touch".

Revathi

"Yes, I would. By being an ambassador for Vasantham Central, I find that it will be an excellent opportunity to showcase our local talents abroad, creating new career opportunities and maintaining a bilateral relationship with the cinema industry in India"

We now know you used to temp at Coffee Annan's office. Apart from fixing up his daily lattes, it's good that you picked up a few things on the way.

Kasturi

"I would prefer to be more exposed not just as Miss Vasantham nor an ordinary woman but an Charismatic Actress from Singapore "

This girl and her random capitalisations...*shakes head*.
[Editor: Oi! Don't ah. She chio. I like.]

Sasi Kala

"To gain a higher level of creativeness and personal touch in every kind of activity, a higher level of courage, to have a decrease in anxiety and to have a more original and less imitative approach in personal activities and endeavous and to venture into new areas in the media so I would accept and go for it"

You know in MS Word there is this shortcut key. You press Shift+F7 and voila! You get a helluva lotta synonyms you could just plug into a sentence without really having to think too much about it.

Barathi

'Yes, I would accept the offer if the character showcases my talents and skills'

So which bus did you get on from Cliche-ville to Caldecott?
[Editor: Didn't you hear? Caldecott got sold off by Mediacorp. Legend has it that the pain of no more being the Queen of Caldecott forced Zoe Tay into her "I swallow" advertisements.]

Miss Vasantham - Question 9

Any personal life mission(s)?

S. Anita

My personal life mission would be to succeed in whatever I take up to do in my life. For now, I wish to do well in my teaching course which I have enrolled in MMI. This is my long time dream to work with children and to pass my knowledge of what I have learnt throughout my life as a kid and a teenager. This would be one of my success that I have achieved in life

So your personal life mission is to do....um....wait hang on...what?!? LIFE mission hon, not a "Dear Diary" entry.

Fazila

My personal mission would be to have no regrets in life and to live it to ones fullest potential.Furthermore not to sound cliché but I would really hope that all the miseries in the world will lessen and that people can just be happy and live their life’s

Ah yes. This beauty pageant would be incomplete without the 'world peace' answer.

Sasi Kala

My mission is a reflection of the true me

Do you need a dictionary to look up the meaning of 'mission' ?

Yuvaneshwari

"I have always wanted to be a beautician and my mission would be to provide a beauty service with a different touch"

I read this and truth be told the first thing that popped into my head was "She gonna be opening a massage parlour in Joo Chiat la"

Sonia

To make a mark in every field of life

That is one heck of a personal mission. Good luck.

Miss Vasantham - Question 6

It goes without saying that to be in this competition these girls have to have a certain level of narcissism and street know-how in them.

How do you cope with wolf-whistles on the street?

The Reasonable Ones

Barathi

‘At least I have grabbed some attention’

Nishalani

‘I simply let in one ear and let it out the other and mentally compliment myself for looking good’

The Narcissistic Ones

Kasturi

“For sure, nobody will woo just an ordinary woman and of course, I take it as an appreciation of my stunning beauty”

Natasha

“I would turn a blind eye as I walk by because men are men after all, you can’t stop them from admiring a beauty”

The Confused Ones

Prasana

“Well, I’ll smile and walk away due to the fact beauty has to be admired by someone…courtesy is a way of life in Singaporean, I’m one of them”

We're Singaporean, we actually need a campaign to teach us how to be courteous.

Sonia

‘I would just consider that it was not meant for me and put a deaf ear to it, but if its made to be obvious, then I would just walk away’

The WTH? Ones

Fajariah

‘I wouldn’t exaggerate myself by taking off my slippers n aim it at those wolves because that may rise their anger up to an extent whereby revenge will take place. Instead, I will just take it as a compliment that I attracted their attention, panic and then get out of the scene fast’

Kovilpatti Veeralakshmi and her "seruppu pinjurom!". She is trying to show that she is strong, yet sensible, flattered, yet alarmed by these ‘wolves’.

Sasi Kala

I think if you listen to more of those wolf-whistles, they tend to become howling and so frankly speaking, I'll ignore them. I believe that human beings can verbally communicate rather than wolf-whistles

Either she was watching Van Helsing or Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ video while answering this question.

End of August Thing

Ok, this has been quite a long journey for us. ME and Klengstantine most of all, though he tends to pull his MIA stunt more often than necessary. From humble beginnings, thinking of just dissing how KLKs behave in general in a more embarassing light than not, and also leveraging on the intricate nuances our race possesses in general, we have grown, or rather our minds have grown.


Viewership has certainly spiked in the recent month, mostly due to the Miss Vasantham posts and of course through viral marketing. For this, we have to thank Vasantham Central for a media campaign, full of un-touched up photos, unedited interview questionnaires and an abysmal website for providing us with the fodder for our campaign. Also, to all who have linked us in your personal blogs, or who have passed the link around in emails, you have our gratitude. Please continue to do so, including speaking of us in the various web forums and I shall explain later why.

A community blog cannot run without the community that inhabits it. Apart from those who read us, a greater thank you goes out to the panel members. These guys are the fuel that makes the engine chug along.

The old school supporters: Keling Kween, Klengstantine
The working professionals: Nal, Ugra Chandi, Klengysseuss
The tertiary teamsters: Partheban, SP Apostle, TamilMagani, Praba
The aussie appellate: The Girl, Aresha
The MIA with a valid reason: Madstrummer [Dang, NS]
The one with the coolest nick: Sacredscar

KelingKillahs will be moving. Sadly, our run in blogspot doesn't quite provide us the necessary framework and width to ply our trade. Wordsmiths we attempt to be, but yet, what community web log exists without a proper rationale? Not to worry, all will be solved after the move. Rest assured, previous posts will be left untouched here and the link to the new blog will be put up.

We are still on the lookout for able contributors. People who want to have a voice. People who don't mind setting aside a bit of their time for a cause that tugs at their hearts. We say what you've always wanted to but couldn't, beyond your coffeeshops and milo pengs. KLKillahs is also growing to a more social stance, an interest in the community's less fortunate. More information about this step by step in the next few months. Interested potential panellists, can email/msn me at kelingkillah@gmail.com / ahneh69 (msn).

You're only as Keling as you wanna be.

Who's next to be KLKilled?
