"A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it." - Jean de la Fontaine
Before venturing into the arena of blogging, I had searched out for some other blogs that already exists in the internet universe. The purpose was to find out how other people 'do' their blogs (and I never done this blogging thing before), and what information or shenanigans that these people present in their respective blogs. Turns out, that most blogs are done on a personal basis, that is they write about their experiences, what they did in their day to day activity, their thoughts, their emotions, .....and some times their manifestations of both their good and bad manner in which how each and every one of 'em faces this test of time called life.
You can't deny people of all types and characteristics write blogs. Young or old, happy or sad, active or passive, introvert or extrovert, 'Eastsidaz' or 'Westsidaz', smart or stupid.
Some present their blogs in artistic manners (putting plenty of pictures, a background picture that lays 'majestically' behind their blog writings, putting lot of stuff like calenders and a big, big, big list of links that links to so many kinds of stuff, you don't whether or not it's worth it to click on each link to see what is), some keep their blogs in an easy and compressed manner (no doubt following the principle that is KISS - Keep It Small & Simple......or was it Keep It Simple, Stupid...can't remember what was it back in OOD........maybe 'Keep It Simple Sh-thead) and some...well.....just followed with the flow of bloggin..........
Some write in comprehensible English, you can 'understand' what they write about. Some write in uncomprehensible English, that is, they wrote it in English, but the level of their language skill and vocabulary power seemed to be in the ionosphere level (as if they are writing some sort of world thesis and got multiple degree, masters, and PhD in journalism and literature). And there is another kind, those who write uncomprehensible English, which is, in English, but the ones where you can't even understand what the hell they are jabbering about. Also, they are blogs written in other languages instead of English (this is the Internet, remember? It's the gold thread of human connection & communication).
They are other sort of blogs too, not just about someone's life. Some blogs revolves around any kind of matter or knowledge that exists in this world....news, politics, sports, satires, music, killings, pornography, cartoons, goatees, Roswell, guns, ....you name it...you can find it......and what is a wonderment is that what would happen if the concept & usage of a website clashes with the concept & usage of a blog?............
As had already being said, people do blogs because they write about their personal stuff or day to day activities. Which brings it to one simple conclusion:

As had already being said, people do blogs because they write about their personal stuff or day to day activities. Which brings it to one simple conclusion:
"blogging, if you look at it, is a different kind of personal diary".
The only real difference between blogging and a diary is that one is in a book, ....the other one is in a computer.
Oh, there's another difference. One, the whole world can see it. The other one, only you see what you write (unless some other mammal accidentally took a peep at it or some goon went and stole it to make money out of it). And another thing, with a blog, you or others can give out comments, about what you wrote (what sort of concept is this?..& what's the point of it....haha). I wonder what the pioneers of blogging thought about when bringing out blogging.... Hmmm, I wonder too, what would Anne Frank think about blogging.
Ok, enough about reviewing on blogging.
When searching out blogs, found out that there are various blogs done by APIIT & ex-APIIT students (surprise, surprise). Before, found out a blog in which some guy was dissing out Dr. K cause he got kinda pissed with him. Then there was another blog that I found in which they were pictures from the year end gathering from 2004, the one where staff dressed up like drag queens (wtf). Then there're blogs by some of the TA people (aren't these guys busy) . Hell, I even found a blog in which there's this guy recounting his 'first time experience' (wtf). There's also another blog by a guy who's from Kenya, and he wrote that when he stayed in Kl, he lived with the top APIIT students, Pakistani fellas, who were the cream of the crop (holy crap).
Then there's this one blog (well, severals actually), that got my attention. It's done by a Chinese guy, and he had 3 other friends whom he calls them & they call each other 'brothers' (they got their blogs). Apart from him, the others were an Indonesian, a Malay and a Maldivian (and they call this guy the King). These guys already graduated, both the Chinese and Indonesian guys had pics of their graduation in their blogs. They also got pics of themselves posing like men-models-boy band-artists-tourists when they hanged out at Genting after their FYP battle. Anyway, what made me attracted to these guys blogs is 'cause that they were a group of four. The relating thing is, I got my own 'brothers in arms' at APIIT too, and there's four of us. And come next week, we gonna start dominating the place and send everybody down going downtown! Cause now it's the era of the Brotherhood to take over!
Haha....ntah boleh jadi ke tak aku pun tak tahulah......
Aighttt, that's it for now. Panjang meleber, banyak merapu tak tentu arah. I need my sleep.
