Blogging Life

This month is one of the most hella busy month for me; not getting enough sleep is already one thing but not blogging for so long is a beyond the pale sin. Sorry people, kind of stuck in between work and sleep, work and sleep; no room for blog. Nevertheless today I’ll blog, ‘die die’ also must write something in my blog. And by the way, thank you seniors! Never know that you guys read my blog too. Will surely keep you guys update about my internship life.

First thing first, my biggest mistake this month is that I missed my best buddy birthday. I think he waited the whole night and most probably the whole following day for me. But, I did nothing, in fact I didn’t even realize that’s the day when I went check on him that day; not that I don’t want to but I’m just too busy with my stuff. You can always check my to-do-list, everyday full. Hereby I sincerely apologize to you, friend. Sorry dude that I missed your birthday, I feel like a jerk for not remembering your birthday. But you know I’m no good with date right? Anyway, sorry big time dude!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY,
Melly Life Monkeys Blog!

That’s right! That’s my blog first birthday. My first post was on sixth of January last year and it had been a more-or-less-up-and-down year with you, MLMB. Looking back at what I did with you for the past one year is superb, somehow I feel that it worth every sweat and tears for jotting down everything to you; whether it’s my everyday life experience, good or bad memory, hilarious moment, brainless times or perhaps some reminders for me to not repeat the same mistake again. It’s worth.

Blogging has always been my alternative channel (at some point my core channel) for me to express myself. In life, there is always up and down; sometimes down flat all the time but that doesn’t matter, what matter is how you deal with it. The best way so far is to share with your family, your best friend and if possible everyone; Face it! We need each other to survive. Yet sometimes there are things that you can’t tell everyone, that’s when blog come in handy. But publishing it in blog means telling everyone, not? Well, undeniably yes but through a different media, at least not face to face; and pray hard that the person won’t come to my blog.

When I start blogging last year, it’s all about what happen around us that we don’t be bothered to know. Simple minor stuff that we choose to ignore, that we choose not to care because the fact is it’s too minor for us even just to waste our time and energy to think about. But when you choose to think hard and try to understand it, you will see the beauty of every simple minor thing. Eventually you’ll laugh on your own for missing out the joy laying just in front of you for so many years. Even a simple cup of coffee can brighten your life, well it had brighten mine already.

I wish every of my every readers to laugh if not smile reading my blog. That’s why I blogged every of my silly act. I know it’s embarrass, well it is. Nevertheless the joy of hearing positive feedback from you guys worth all the embarrassment. My everyday life seems overflowing with first class entertainment, first class joker (not you, JL), first class comedian (not you again JL) but that only happen in my blog. Reality, life’s always a joke, just like a blind-folded roller-coaster; you never know when you’re up or down. But since I can make it to sound like a merry-happy life in my blog then why not, at least you’re entertained. It’s a pleasure to see my readers ‘amusingly amused’ with my blog. "Thank you, readers!!"

Like I said, we never know when we are up and down in our life. At one point you may looking down at the people below, and the next thing you know, you’re down joining them. When you’re all on your own, you tend to give up; you feel useless to struggle, that’s when you stop running and remain at that point in your life marathon. Days after days, months after months; sooner or later everyone is ahead of you. That’s when you feel useless to carry on, even just to try standing up. That’s when you let go. But fortunately someone is there for me whenever I’m tired of running; she is there to push me to grasp back the marathon pace and keep up with the others. I may not the top runners, I may not get any fame and glory, but I’m glad I still can carry on in the marathon; at least with you by my side. At least now I know what to do when you’re tired to carry on, I’ll be there to push you back.

Looking back at my post is like watching an infant grows. He might still a kiddo now, but he’s surely growing. There had been quite some time you being with me, buddy. We had walked quite a distance, not to say a long one but it’s just significant to make a comparison. There’s still a long way though but I’ll keep on blogging. That’s the only way he’ll grow.

So long now, thank you MLMB. Happy Belated Birthday! Have a great one!

Have you ever wondered how our grandparent or perhaps our parent exchanges a few words with their friends? I mean there must be some kind of networks for them to keep in touch with each other but what is it? Bear in mind, at that time, there’s no Facebook, Friendster, Twitter, MySpace or even computer. Yes, I know there’s letter. Yes, I know there’s phone but letter and phone can only reach certain people with one condition: by knowing their real address and phone number. Nonetheless, if they were to publish a shout out to everyone they know (or don’t know); they need to search the phone book one by one. Just visualize telling a good news to hundred friends of yours one by one; that’s doesn’t sound like a good news to me. Eventually they’ll end up calling only their BFF. Won’t that be a bit unfair? Good news is meant to be shared to everyone.

My mum told me that they used to write letter to the newspaper to post their shout out. “Those good old days, the joy of waiting for reply” my mum said as she recalled. “Wait how long?” I asked suddenly. “Depend, might be a week or a month, you know the letter have to go through the editor, the censor board, the column writer and etcetera” she added. Whoa! Just imagine reading your 18th birthday wishes when you’re already 22; that’s too long but undeniably that’s the only joy in the old days.

Then some brilliant radio deejay came out with a brain-cracking-balls-breaking idea which is to put up a radio show especially for their faithful listener to leave a message or a dedication. That radio show was an all the rage hit! Every teenager is calling up; everyone wants to tell what they're doing, what’s on their mind; even teeny weeny stuff like: “KC shits in his pant; never grow up” or “Theamy love Soo Lim but he don’t love back” or so on. That brilliant deejay totally set a new trend, no more old school method: writing to magazine or newspaper. Radio is even better, they are faster and it comes with songs. That time, everyone is longing for radio; same like now, peoples are craving for i-pod or i-phone.

Then, here comes the IT era where more and more friend-networking applications popping up; for instance the Facebook, Friendster, MySpace, Twitter and many more that keep your friends updated about what’s on your mind, what’s going on with your life and maybe some irrelevant kepoh news. Now even better, people are subscribing mobile internet; they can follows your Twitter and Facebook anywhere, anytimes, anyhow. That’s so awesome!!

That’s still so awesome till I met their challenger: the toiletbooth.

No kidding, people are leaving comments, grudges, life update or what’s on their mind in my company toilet wall (not Facebook wall); in grafitti lagi tu. For instance "Boss naik gaji sikit la" (Boss raise my salary a bit). And surprisingly, there are feedbacks or update every time I went toilet: "Bro you kena kerja keras sikit la" (Brother, you have to work harder). No kidding, I love going toilet nowadays; guess I’m addicted to toiletbooth already.

Gotta go to the toilet, check for updates. *chuckle*
