"I Have A Blog, I'm Not Shallow"

Declarations like that get people in peak interest, or at least start a humorous discussion. Lah Moh said this twice in separate company to similar reaction - laughter. It is funny because, well, the line seems to be in defence of being shallow. She likes expensive bags, good food and owns a toy poodle.

None of these should imply shallowness. Neither does having a blog defend not being shallow. Is it wrong to be shallow? What is being shallow anyway? Is it being interested in fashion? What about liking Hello Kitty? What if I spent all my time in front of a computer coding out programs and not being aware that GST is up by 2%? This is getting too deep and worst of all, unimportant, to discuss further. Aiyoh.
