Out of curiosity, I googled my ID and was reminded of my blog. Amazingly my posts and photos are still largely intact, even for my Flickr account. I clicked on old links to friends and classmate's blogs, and indeed a couple of them still blog till this day! I guess blogging never really dies. It was a way for me to express my feelings in the past quite foolishly to the world, not knowing who was reading. What's really amazing was that I could somehow login to my blogspot account which has since been moved to google, to read and even write this post! It has been nearly 6 years since I last wrote.
I must say I really miss my friends and people I knew then. I think we've all changed somewhat. I can't speak this of anyone else, but I realise that I have pretty much kept many of the habits which I had since 2006. Yes, I've changed and gotten better at many aspects, but I'm still who I am.
I'm actually quite pleased that I could refer back to some of these ancient pots I wrote, no matter how embarrassing, yet they were written and captured like a log of my past, pre-Facebook. The net has changed so much, I even recall using madmail and playing runescape and need for speed 2, or was it 3. Nevertheless I am still very much someone who believes in something and preaches it with fervor. I am reminded of past relationships that failed, deep personal questions that I asked myself then and still ask today, hopefully to be a good student of the past and actually move on, change for the better, and never repeat those mistakes. If I was the same 8years ago, how much different will I be in the next 8 or 10 or 20 or till I retire? It's definitely a wake up call. I'm absolutely sure God brought me back for a reason. The divine kick in the butt I call it.
