Xiaxue (real name Wendy Cheng) is one of the most prominent bloggers in Singapore. She started her blog in 2003. A self-proclaimed "internet bitch who is edited by Photoshop", her blog attracts hundreds of readers everyday with her take on current events and her life. She blogs about various topics; from methods of measuring penises to dumb starfish and MRT irritants. She has been criticised, however, for the use of expletives in her entries.
She is frequently featured in the Singaporean media. On 20 July 2005, her blog was hacked into, and deleted; the act attracted a lot of attention in the local internet community, with people weighing in on the morality of the hacking. Cheng has worked as a columnist for The New Paper (a Singapore tabloid), MAXIM magazine and Snag magazine.
Her pseudonym, Xiaxue, means "snowing" in Chinese.
Xiaxue's blog has won several online awards: Best Singapore Blog 2003, Best Asian Blog 2004, and 2005 Weblog Best Asian Weblog.
