Happy Birthday, Blog
My blog is three! Actually, I've blogged for three years. My blog has previously existed as an EasyJournal and a LiveJournal.
Naturally, I wanted to continue the User ID on blogspot, but someone took it. That someone hasn't blogged since... August 2003!! Well, that's why:
a) This site is 'acroamatical'; and
b) I am squatting on WordPress. Just in case.
I know, I know, I can hear people like Sam saying, "Get your own domain!" Well, it's hard to beat free.
Anyway, I meant to say that it's been quite a journey. I never kept a journal prior to blogging. I never thought I would. So it's always interesting to read my past entries. Sometimes, it's almost like reading someone else's blog: Did I really say/write/do that?
Besides documenting the good times and the bad, as well as being a repository of interesting resources, some of my posts remind me of what I failed to mention, either on purpose or otherwise. There's context around each post that only I am privy to.
That's ironic, yet comforting. Blogs are supposedly where some people bare their soul. Yet it's a refuge all the same. I think my previous sub-title says it best: A place to hide | A place to reveal.

I'll say it nonetheless -
"Get your own domain!"
Well the difference between you and me is that I've always kept paper journals - I've got quite a few dog-eared ones over a decade or so. And these contain my innermost thoughts which I deem inappropriate to share with the world.
My blog's just another medium of writing for me. More like a personal website that doesn't take itself too seriously, know what I mean? Remember the days of our xoom websites?

Hey Kenneth
Thanks for linking my blog to yours. Out of curiosity, how did you come across my blog?
Like reading your musings. Very insightful. :)
You write well. Hope to see more of you in my blog too.
Have a great weekend!

Elvina dear, I'll answer that for you on Ken's behalf - correct me if I'm wrong Ken, but he probably came across your blog via mine because of your entry on Cheryll.
You see, Ken, Cheryll and I were all in the Students Council in college. :D
Singapore very small hor?

Actually... I have to correct you. =P
I came across Elvina's blog through the FMSlist, where she posted about her kelong trip. Asked her about it - Elvina doesn't seem to remember - and subscribed to her blog since then. I found out about Cheryll Valentine's Day... err... hunt(?) direct from Elvina's blog.
But yes, Singapore very small. =)
