If there is one thing I learnt in the past year, it is how to move on. I remember telling myself that if I figured about life or came to terms with something that once bothered me a lot, I would share with people on how to handle those issues. Afterall, why make another fellow earthling suffer the agony and go through those times when they can get out of it faster with the help of others? I was glad when I learnt that one of my friends felt the same way too. He grew a lot.
What is more heartwarming than having friends that share their ideals with you and for you to realise that some of the thinkings actually overlap.
I have been asked quite a number of times on why I blog. I think most people ask that because they have no idea what I am talking about.
To me, if a blog had a fixed function, I probably wouldn't use it anymore. Who doesn't know that talking to a human is healthier than bearing your soul to a computer (Technically, yes)?
But the thing about communication is, most people
do not bother to listen. If you think that communication is only about shooting your mouth off, you need to think twice. How many times have you been brushed off when you were talking about something that no one else really bothered to listen. Not hear, listen. And the fault doesn't lie with others. If you think about it, who would spend hours just to, not listen, but hear you rattle about
your aspirations,
your hopes for the future,
your outings... in short, only about
you? This kind of thing can be related when you have nothing more to talk about. And when it comes to women, what can be more juicy than gossips of
others? So, where do you channel the 'excess' thoughts and words that no one really bother to know unless they have nothing else better to do? Blog (n).
Nevertheless, whenever asked why I blog, I give answers that don't really give blogging a lot of credit. Why? I did that on purpose. Feel like slapping me? The thing is, some people ask why I blog just so to demean the whole notion of blogging. I am sure people blog for different reasons. These people that don't know about blogging assume that all bloggers blog like XX because they only read one kind of blog. As if to make their point, they went on talking about how cowardly Singaporean youths are, hiding behind a monitor and not standing up talking about this at eh.. what was that again? Oh, Speakers corner. DOH. Don't they know what is technology? I turn strangely beetroot whenever I mention "Speakers Corner". We all agree that it was a failure. So you think the fault lies with 'shy' or 'cowardly' Singaporeans? Well, I leave theat up tp you.
I knew no one would be interested if I start a conversation with things that I find worthed talking about (not that fashion and gossips are not worth talking). Therefore, I am explaining why I blog(v) in my Blog(n). And if you are reading it with distaste, go gossip. It suits you more.
