A sneeky copycat






I used to monitor my blog's traffic diligently. Every single day, I will click on the statistics tracker to check on the latest report.

I used to be curious on who reads my blog.

That was when I had all the time in the world to enjoy surfing the internet. I no longer have that luxury any more.

Now, I will be lucky even to be able to update the blog regularly. Well, at least when I do, I know that what I write is genuine and came straight from the heart!


I was shocked to find out that someone had mentioned this blog in one of her controversial post last week (thanks for the heads up, babe!).

Well, someone had copied one of my blog post (almost word for word, including the stupid spelling error that I've made - yea.. my english sucks, I know) and call it her own.

Seriously!

Apparently that was not her first time plagiarising other people's blog post to be posted as her own. From what I've read, she even copied a blog post about other people's pregnancy experience to describe her own experience during her pregnancy. How crazy is that?

I guess she just sits in front of the PC on a daily basis and think of a topic to write for the day...

... hmmm.. what should I write about today? ... aahh... I went to the spa yesterday.. why don't I write about that... ... let's google the spa... ... aahh... here's a blog post on the very same spa...! ... ctrl+c .......ctrl+v ... update ... ok i'm done!

I strongly suggest for the blogger to just stop blogging if she carries on plagiarising other people's writing. Seriously.... It's just wrong.... She wouldn't want to end up like the actress-turned-writer who has created a massive controversy when she plagiarised a great author's poem last year (I think it was last year). Siap masuk Melodi tuh...!


Get a life!



To Piah Zadora: Thanks for the news... But, how in the world did you manage to track the plagiarism? Wa salute sama lu...

Wah... that's terrible!

I feel for you, babe...some people plagarised my work before.

Rasa nak lempang dia laju-laju, kan?

But we are better than that. ;)

Didn't see u online, I had mesyuarat tingkap with teek abt the case.
Banyak sgt copycats out there! I found the person who copies 3 of my posts by chance, because i found that she links her blog to mine.

anyway, ppl dah tau pasal that blogger, so just watch her out.

I believe as some would say that the best form of flattery is mengopy so your writing must be awesome!

Cheers!!! :D

kesian u also jadi mangsa. i guessed she'd turned out to a be serial plagiarist. sebab her postings, i mean writings semuanya cam very dubiously inconsistent. tetiba 1 post cam tak reti cakap english. tetiba ada posts pandai plak berbunga-bunga english dia?

i was the pregnant lady she copied from. VERBATIM. pathetic, takkan the way she found out she got pregnant was EXACTLY like how i did. takkan her husband is EXACTLY like mine? kan?

mula2 piah kantoikan 2 posts (thank you piah) .. and she went offline. takut kot. pulun stalk i nak mintak maaf. finally she un-private kan her blog, i gi CSI lah. found out there was more.

yang paling tak bleh blah, she went on like as if she was the victim? pppfbt!
