HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR BLOG!!!!!
Dear Blog,
You have no idea how much you've changed my life more than anything.. Looking back at the past year, I don't know how I would've gone through all my ups and downs if it weren't for you.. I mean, no offence to all my friends, but having you has given me a place to really convey my deepest feelings without fear of judgement..
Here's a collection of the interesting developments of my blog :
== 2003 ==
Dec 9 - My first post.. Duh.. What could be more memorable than this?

Apr 26 - This doesn't have much to do with my blog but it's just so funny! :D
Jun 26 - My response to some of my controversial blog posts :P
Jul 18 - Blog power
Jul 20 - Counselling session with Mr. Z
Over the last week, I've been reading through all 200+ posts I've made throughout the year.. And after doing that, my conclusions are :
1) I'm such a stupid dork for taking an eternity to get over a guy
2) Why the heck did I take 6 months just to move on?
3) 6 months!?!? You gotta be kidding me!
OK.. OK.. Here are the real conclusions :P
1) I think I'm pretty naive :P I always talk as if I know everything so well, but when I read back my posts a year later, I cringed non-stop.. Sometimes I don't know why I did the things I did.. And sometimes I don't even know why I wrote all the crap that I wrote.. At the time I wrote all that, I'm sure I'm highly passionate about what I'm writing or else I wouldn't have written anything in the first place.. But looking back, I can't help but slap myself on the forehead - with occasional screams - every now and then while reading post after post showcasing my absolute immaturity over certain things :P
2) So much things have happened this year and I realized that by writing my blog, I organize my thoughts better.. In fact, I'm beginning to feel a bit more philosophical over life just because I keep imagining myself typing my daily events into blog posts :P
3) I used to be pretty apprehensive over who's reading my blog, but nowadays I just couldn't care less.. No matter how hurtful my blog posts may seem to the targetted persons reading them, nothing can change the fact that it's my opinion at that time.. Keeping myself quiet just to please other people won't make my thoughts go away.. I keep remembering what Mr. Z told me about writing with wit.. So I've decided that witty writing doesn't necessarily mean subdued writing.. I can still write whatever I want, provided that I realize that the very people I'm talking about might be reading this.. If I were them, how would I feel? How can I prove a point without risking somebody else's feelings? It's a very delicate balance, but it's something I must consider if I wish to continue blogging and still keep my readers :P
It's been a very eventful year, and for this momentous occasion, I'd like to thank the following people, in no particular order, for reading my blog, often or otherwise..
Zul, Rin, Fin, Terry, Mirin, Zaa, Ren, Haz, Tasha, Fez, Renuka, Sabri, Tun, Azmir, Jingo, Khairul Nazmi, Ijah, Izza, Tn Syed, Mr. Cranwell, Mr. Zaidi
(If you want your name deleted from this list, please tell me ASAP.. Or if you want your name IN this list, please tell me ASAP too :P)
For the rest of you, either I've simply forgotten to include your name or I haven't found out that you're reading my blog :P
Thank you to everyone for reading this.. I really appreciate all the support you've given me all this time.. And I think the person who deserves the biggest accolade is my ex, whom I believe would like to remain anonymous but everyone knows who he is anyway.. I'd like to thank him for making me grow and learn so much from my past relationship with him and I'm forever indebted to him for giving me the impetus I needed to start blogging..
Thank you everyone.. Here's to (hopefully) another year of blogging :)
