Talhah's Blog

What am I doing here blogging? Isn't blogging dead?

When I check those blogs I linked on my own, nearly all of them are gone or not maintained. I don't blame anyone. Firstly, we've now got Facebook and Twitter. Why bother posting a long article when you can just put a status update, which is read by a larger audience (potentially the entire human population), and get comments and feedbacks? You also get to quench the voyeour in you by checking out other people's profiles. You can make new friends.

Eventually your online time is taken up by Facebook. Where got time to blog lor.. Summore must think-think..

Twitter... hmmz.. Must say I'm not too familiar.. I've not tried it out at all but from what I know it's like a mini-Facebook. You just update your status and your "followers" will be notified. Can be about anything and everything.. Kinda like you report in.. to lots of people.

I don't need that.

So.. back to the question, why am I here?

I think I've answered that question before. I may not be consistent but this blog here is my presence on the Internet. My recorded thoughts. My recorded experiences. My feelings. My ideas. My memories.

At the same time, this blog is like a platform for me to practice/try out my designing skills, amateurish as they may be.

Oh.. and erm, she also *asked* me to... So ya..

By the way, besides "I Love You", "Sorry" is the other phrase I tenderly utter often to her. Goes to show 1) How much of a dweeb I am to be constantly making mistakes, big and small, 2) How much she means to me that I just brush aside any kind of ego I may have as a Man. What's the point of being in the right if I make her angry and touch wood, lose her?

But I have to admit, I'm getting sick of apologising. Not the apologising act itself, but cos of the need to apologise. Because for me to have to apologise, means I've made some sort of mistake. Sure, I'll always make mistakes.. but if the same mistakes over and over.. I'll understand if she'll get pissed off. Damn, even I get annoyed and upset when I commit the same stuff. Can't imagine how she feels.

I just want to be by her side. Just wanna share life's experiences, good and bad, with her, together. Just want to make her as happy as possible. It's a tall order, but sincerely, I feel she's worth it. It's still early, but so far, so good. Is she perfect? Nope. But neither am I.

I pray it'll be proven we're perfect for one another.

Chapter 2:

In other news.. found out that during CDA open house on Saturday, a DART personnel fell 7 storeys while rappelling during a show. Major injuries but he's still alive. For those who do read my blog, please, spare a prayer for him. Not sure his name though....

Oh, SP-NUS-SPU friendly earlier today. SP guys look good today. Looked a lot more seasoned. Alhamdulillah the guys and gals can now fight reasonably. Question now is whether they're good enough to win anything. Of course they do. They just gotta bring their form into IVP and everything will be okay, Insya Allah.
