Today in history #2

Sometime today last year, I stopped procrastinating and decided to start a blog; thanks to the encouragement of Silver Bullet and Barcajax.

As it stands, today marks my very 1st anniversary of blogging! For that, I ‘m going to shamelessly give myself a tiny, little pat on my back. 😀

One year on, and I could hardly believe that I have managed to keep this up rather religiously. To be honest, I was worried when I embarked on this. What if I run out of things to say? What if I don’t have any materials for weeks or months on end? What if I just cannot think of anything to write? What am I gonna do with a blog that has nothing? What if my posts sucks? What if what I wrote isn’t intellectual enough?

Then I realised, my worries are unfounded, and true to being me, I usually tend to over analyse things in my head. In terms of materials, I’m glad I haven’t run out of things to say just yet! Sometimes, I just can’t write enough as somehow, along the way, I keep stumbling upon the strange, the weird, the funny, the frustrations and the everyday mundane things that could contribute to a decent post.

I also realise my post doesn’t have to be intellectual or overtly analytical as it takes too much effort from my end, considering that I’m a mostly self-deprecating smart-ass-wannabe rather than a true-born intellect (obviously not a geniuslah!) . Rather, I quite enjoy keeping it honest, writing it like it is from my own perspective and taking the piss out of myself once in a while. The good thing is, it really is my blog and I can write whatever I want, the way I want. Essentially, I realise that I’m mostly writing for me and I don’t really give a rats’ ass about what other people think; which is why I’m occasionally (pleasantly) surprised if suddenly I have a new follower or getting comments from strangers or friends telling me they like the contents of my blog.

That being said, it is nice to know that I do have a handful of readers, with the dearest husband being my biggest fan. I thought it is funny, but at the same time, also feel honoured to know that there are people who actually enjoyed my useless ramblings. (*you people seow ah! but thanks ah!*)

To those who have been following my blog even if it is intermittent, a big thank you to all; for every comments that I receive, know that they always fuel me up in ways you cannot imagine! 😀

Thanks for reading.

Today in history #1

Sometime this date round about 35 years ago, my folks tied the knot…so here goes:

“Happy Belated Anniversary, Mom & Dad! May there be many more good and loving years to come!”

35 years..wow! Ain’t that such a long time! And, truth be told, it’s always nice to hear of marriages lasting that long…somehow, in these days and age, young couple doesn’t seem to stick it out for more than a decade.

I hope we won’t be like those young couples. I would only want our marriage to last as long as we are alive, come what may. I would want to be like one of those retired folks who still hold each other’s hands while strolling in the park or whenever they are walking side by side. Even when they are old, grey and walking slow, they are still affectionate, brushing away dirt with their saliva or whatever left of their straying grey hairs away from the wrinkled faces of their partners. How so very endearing…

Such sights always melt my heart. I want to be one of those silly old, greying couple who still walks hand-in-hand in our twilight days; and still think that despite the flabs and wrinkles, we are still the happiest and most beautiful people in each other’s eyes.

Sigh! I think I’m getting a bit sappy.

Quote of the day

Category: Random

“There are some days I practice positive thinking. And other days I’m not positive, I am thinking”

Today happens to be one of those days where I appear to be thinking. A lot.
