The Blogger's Pride

  I don't wanna flaunt nor boast anything about myself, but I just felt like posting this. Blogging has turned from a simple hobby to my personal passion. Sometimes, I just feel unique among my peers that I am the only one around us who types something long to share my views, feelings, conspiracies etc. I just feel special.

  I mean, you try asking your friends whether they blog, and their answers always seem to be, "I don't", or "My blog is dead". Also, try asking them whether they visit any blogs. I bet you wouldn't be surprised by their responses.

  I mean, think of it this way: Who actually sets aside an hour or so in their schedules, just to type some meaningful things about their life, and share it or treat it as a time capsule to remind themselves of their past achievements, their past endeavors over any and every trouble they faced, and so on...?

  This is indeed the Blogger's Pride: Not feeling afraid to share a thing or two about themselves, perhaps even without consequence of humiliation. Well, which foolish person would ever object to a person's feelings over something? Would anyone be such a mean idiot as to tell someone, "You are wrong because you feel sad over your relative's funeral"?

  Of course, such things would never happen if not for Internet trolls, who are obviously looking for BIG trouble...

  Also, ever since I started blogging, I have developed this annoying, yet effective habit of writing in perfect Singaporean English, clean of inappropriate words in the language that are alphabetical spellings of the Hokkien dialect words such as "lah", "leh" and "wa lao". All those crap...

  Sometimes, I just feel that we Singaporeans can do a lot in developing a sense of belonging and originality, and try developing more original cultural masterpiece in the name of Singapore. The Merlion and Esplanade are a few examples.

  Anyways, I truly feel proud as a Blogger. I feel proud for being able to share my concerns without big consequences. Perhaps this blog is a part of me already. In fact, I feel 1,000 times more original than simply owning a Facebook account, which I barely do anything in it.
