Woopz Productionz.

haven't been blogging for a really long long time. i could take the easy way out and put the blame on being too damn busy with coursework and other miscellaneous activities (such as spending time with ct) but the truth is that i have totally forgot the meaning of blogging.

for a long time, my blog posts have not been reaching to the most important audience. that is, me. i have been constantly trying to write entries that are entertaining to readers of my blogs (albeit only a handful, but still counts!).

the reason i started this blog was because i wanted to document my adult life. i started the blog just a few days before i turned 21. i had this crazy intuition that my life would change dramatically from my 21st birthday, that it would be more interesting than all my 20 years combined. i wanted to document the changes that i would be going through, the fun i would have, the people i would encounter and everything else that matters.

my intuition was right. my life did change dramatically. i met great friends, became philosophical, less self-conscius and of course meeting the person that i had been waiting for a very long time.

in the midst of these wonderful things, i forgot my main point of blogging. if ever i wanted to blog about something, i would insist to include pictures, funny remarks, good write-ups and the whole 'quality-blog' thing. these requirements are hard to fulfil, as they require immense creativity and of course, time. thus, i chose not to blog.

reading some plain blogs, blogs which do not have fancy photoshopped pictures, funny remarks or creative videos, have made me realise the fundamental reason of blogging.

to document things that are significant to me. entries that will make me smile and nod in reminiscence of old times.

and thats what i shall do. no more fancy photos, no wannabe videos, not even properly capitalized words. just plain thoughts. good ol' thoughts.

except, of course, when i feel like i want to entertain.

and to my own readers dissing me in my chatbox: Nah, blog lah blog lah :p.... thanks for continuing to drop by although i havent been updating.

WHOA!

Haven't been posting for a looooong time...

Sorry people. Sorry to myself. For not updating. As Frequently. As I would like.

Had a chat with someone (^^^) the other day...

I might be a perfectionist.

OKAY DON'T LAUGH!





As wikipedia (amen) defined, perfectionism can be thought of as: The persistence of will in obtaining the optimal present and future quality of spiritual, mental, physical, and material being.

Those who have been into my room or study(ied) the same classes with me WILL say that i do not show any characteristic of being a perfectionist.

Because, i'm messy-dirty-lazy-procrastinate-ing person.

A perfectionist cannot all that, right?

Well, wrong.

In my case, my perfectionistic needs are so intense, that i rather not do anything, than do something imperfect.
(Applicable up to when the flood reaches the eyebrows, e.g. assignments almost due, exam is tomorrow, DBKL threatens to seal my room because of its filthyness, and so on and so forth)


It's just like in this case of blogging.

I have nothing/no mood to write therefore I don't write for fear of writing something sucky.

But now, when everyone threatens not to visit my blog anymore [okie la not threaten, already don't visit already :( ], i HAVE to blog something out by hook or crook...

It's like I set a minimum standard that i need to achieve, and if i don't think i can achieve it, i won't want to start doing it.

Case #1: Tropical Aquatic Biology report

Sets high standard (wanna get high marks)
> glances at the data/work involved
> don't wanna do coz hard to achive the standard/perfectness
> don't wanna do
> don't wanna do
> don't wanna do
> don't wanna do
> don't wanna do
> HAVE TO DO IMMEDIATELY DY COS TMR MUST PASSUP :(

And while doing the assignment, i insist on writing out what i think i should write out, even though it's impossible to actually find enough information to write. And when i can't do that part, I'll just stop. And not continue until I accidently find out that another half an hour have passed.

Only then i'd force myself to skip that part (boohoohoo lost marks *kiasukiasu*)


SEE? I'm a perfectionist!


And when blogging, I set this 'standard' of having to write funny/interesting stuff or uploading photos, and if i don't feel funny and have no photos to upload, i just don't blog...


Perfectionism, right?


Or maybe, i'm just plain L-A-Z-Y.




On ANOTHER note:

Two persons who share the same BIRTHDATE (both are 23), blogged about how to play/cure mosquito bites recently.

He blogged about it first:
Ceetee



Then she did (albeit a MUCH better and more in depth version):
Cheesie
