What are blogs for anyway?
I wonder.. what are blogs for? An avenue to update your friends and family about your life or is it just an lot in cyberspace for you to rant about your life and other's lives in a bid to elicit attention and sympathy from your readers?
ET showed me her ex-boyfriend's rather disturbing blog-- aside from being filled with obscenities which tend to distract the reader due to his limited vocabulary of obscenities(not that I like reading posts filled with them anyway), the author was also quick to slap bad labels onto his ex, and the groups that he was affiliated to, like his school's prefectorial board. In short, throughout his meagre 6 posts on his blog, I found it disgusting that his tone was one where it was as if the world owes him a good life and that all the undesirable things that happened to him was that of other people's doing - he would first blame his enemies, and if that were not possible, he would proceed on to blame his friends, and eventually fate and the supernatural - Not once did he put the blame on himself. Everybody is wrong except o' noble he.
Have I ever told you about how much I hate people who claim that life sucks, especially those who are not ripe enough to have strands of white in their hair? No? In that case, look me up on msn if you really have the time to burn xD
Anyway, sometimes I wonder if the purpose of my blogs resemble more of the latter than former as mentioned at the start of this post. Somehow, I find that I seem to feel less inclined to post here whenever I am feeling very happy and contented with my life. Take the last two weeks for instance, the sudden surge of optimism which I obtained through studying various religious doctrines and philosophy has left my poor blog deprived of updates..
OK larh! I admit that leaving for work at 6.30am and reaching home at 7.00pm and the intensified dragonboat trainings that I have to attend has often left me too tired and lazy to post updates, since I know myself to not be able to resist making long posts once I started typing. =P
Hah! Enough of that. Some updates:
ET is coming to NUS! Crop-circles and abductions aside, I'm really excited that she's coming over! I hope we have lots of fun together^^
I have my own workstation despite being just an intern^^
My colleagues at the department that I'm attached too maybe mostly ah peks, but they are demn cute, funny and friendly^^ you gotta love 'em.
Half the machines in the lab are at least twice my age >< style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" size="4">I just sat thru staff orientation today. Met alot of other young colleages there.
I've been told that it might be arranged for me such that I'm to get interviewed by some scholarship publication. Sounds fun huh^^
MSN is demn sucky. It's been like that for days ady. I can't even have a proper chat with ET. =/
