Why I hardly blog anymore

1) I'm growing incredibly busy at work. Praise God for driving my career forward, and keeping me sane through it all.

2) Because of above, I have approx. 4-5 hours of "living" time, and this is spent mostly with friends and family

3) It takes an hour to write a blog entry

4) I'm not as deep & philosophical as I used to be

5) Don't write about your life, use the time to live it

6) I fell in love with board games, which incidentally usually takes 2-3 hours more than to blog - just more fun.

7) I'm lazy

8) less rebellious, no need to be so vocal a.k.a. matured

9) xanga used to be so slow, and never would i leave my "legacy"

10) because the whole world also blogging di. not special.


So why am I blogging here?

Cause my blog is 6 going on 7 years, and I want it to be "legitimately" active when it does. Lol. Believe it.

Gotta run for dinner with a friend. This post took 15 minutes - can you believe that!

Happy New Year everyone! My resolution for this year is balance, and weight loss! XD

It's still alive

Hello everyone,

Just an FYI note that this blog is still alive and kicking! 

I went for a social media workshop the other day, and as the presenters were talking about how their lifestyles revolved around Facebook, Twitter etc. I began to wonder why my online presence has died. It's simple really, I just found more wholesome and fruitful things to do offline.

It's not a case of right or wrong, just preference. I fill my time more with hanging out with a smaller group of people. As I grow up, perhaps less need for attention as well. In other words, I've grown content.

If contentment esclates along with age, then I can't wait to hit my twilight.

Thanks Simon, for kickstarting us back into action.

P/s: Happy birthday Liesl and Gor Ee! Here's to a stupendous year ahead. God bless.

taking stock

every now and then, there comes a point where we wonder: "wat's the point?"

sometimes it's life. sometimes it's work. basically, we're lost. everything's meaningless - ever get that? kat and I have this conversation aplenty.

I think Yeng hit it on the nail with her latest post - tt we forget the essence of Matt 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you."

SEEK FIRST. The greatest joy this life can ever give is a close walk with God. But no, I'd rather indulge in other things - but security of money, a "good" life a.k.a. nice house, good enough car, money to give kids good education. I mean, at my age, who doesn't think about these things?

But then, my good friend SW has been sharing on how work's eating his life away. And then you stop again, why do we bother piling in the hours. Sigh. I believe this is a lifelong wrestle. Necessary?

ADDED UNTO YOU. I guess when you seek God, you'd obtain a happiness that all the other 'goodies' no matter how pathetic or lavish, will merely come as supplements or bonuses. We wouldn't thrive on them nor suffer in their absence, knowing full well that we are whole in God.

This, is what we've come to know. But as we drone on day after day, it's obvious we never learn.

we're not very different from those 'stupid' Israelties back then.

From Kee Ken's blog.
Blogger Jon said...

as you may guess, i've been having the same dilemma as you past month or so. I haven't updated since..... i can't rmb. but the thing is, i just don't feel like writing anymore.

then there's the whole "but you've been doing it for 5 years bla bla" in my head. and while the recollection is good, and i'm just so brilliant at rambling on and on (like now), it just saps too much time and energy for other more wonderful things i could be doing.

blogging has always been to share part of my life. but maybe as i grow up, i find myself more inclusive... and that sphere is drastically narrowing. it doesn't just reflect in the blogosphere but in reality as well. I keep a close sphere of close friends, and that's enough for me.

enough with the trumpeting. and doing more living.

but i'm sure that canvas will have its use when i actually feel like writing something again.

man, did i just announce my blog's obituary on yours? :P

12:37 PM

If I prevail over laziness, I would've had liked to talk about the U.S. trip and the sending off of one of my closest and dearest friends. Believe me, I would have so easily cried - but everyone was in denial! Positive peer pressure. Will miss ya bro. Sigh.

Japanese 101

Got this from MYC! campus magazine. Informative and hilarious at the same time. You'd be surprised how well your articulate the intonation perfectly. Shows we watch way too much anime. Heh!

Yih Shan, this is for you! Go bamboozle your darling with new-found vocabulary. ;)
