I wonder. Why is blogging so dead? Because people want to write briefly nowadays. Hence twittering. Or is people cannot stand to read much online?
Oh woe is me, and dread the world and all this sorrow. What the fuck?
This is fun. Writing rubbish, this is.


wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Tis the night and the stars are covered by clouds.

Dear Che Mat Ulih.

You should write more. Seriously. I mean, Twitter is ok.. if you want fast news. (Unless of course, you're interested in finding out what other people had for lunch for where they are right now..)

But nothing beats blogging. You can ramble all you want. You can post pictures and look at them again another time. Heck, I could read my posts from wayyyy back in 2003 (yes, that blog is still available in cyberspace!)

So please don't stop blogging. I know I am lousy too.. at blogging.. but once in awhile, I get reminders that I shouldn't stop blogging.

It's not so much about people reading your rants. It's more about capturing what you feel and jotting it down.

At the end of the day, it's not about whether people read you or not.. (errr.. unless ko giler glamer and nak jadi one of those social bloggers lah..)

But for me, it's about you. And penning down your thoughts. Who cares if no one reads them.. or if they see you as narcissistic. What matters is that when you re-read your blog 10 years down the road, you will smile knowing how you've grown. Your feelings and issues now might be sooo petty when you read them again in the next decade. Kan?

So please don't stop writing ok? Nothing beats having your own page and writing to please no one but yourself.

Thank you.

Respectfully,
Your ardent reader

I randomly came across your blog, I like it. I am new to the blogging world, so I didn't realize it was "dead" nowadays. That's too bad. Everyone's attention spans are that of a fish...... I think technology has done that to us. Anyhow, I'm a new "follower" of your blog.....can't wait to read more :)
