Xiaxue is the pseudonym of Wendy Cheng, a Singaporean blogger and freelance writer. Her website has been added to the National Library Board's list of blogs for archival.
She co-starred in a reality television programme called Girls Out Loud. In 2008 she started hosting a fortnightly series, Xiaxue's Guide To Life, on ClickNetwork.tv
Controversies
On July 20, 2005, Wendy's blog was hacked into and defaced; the hackers also gained access to her gmail account and deleted many of her e-mails. She eventually regained access to her blog and e-mail account, and made a police report.
In October 2005, Xiaxue criticized a disabled man who scolded an able-bodied man for trying to use the handicapped toilet. Two of her three then-sponsors terminated their endorsement deals with her as a result of the post.
Xiaxue was accused of making a racist post in December 2005. A netizen started a petition to have the authorities take enforcement action.
In July 2008, blogger Dawn Yang launched a lawsuit against Cheng for allegedly defamatory remarks made in a blog post on June 30.
Personal life
The blogger is married to American Michael Sayre.
