Time to move on?

February 3rd, 2005 by lynnylchan under Uncategorized

I’m contemplating taking this blog in a more daring direction. I think I’m playing it too safe, by refusing to get too personal and detailed in my descriptions. That’s why there’s a real lack of good stuff to read on this blog. The really interesting things that happen to me are kept under wraps.

I think I should post about details of my life… complain about the system at my uni (and I shan’t hesitate to name it, either) and be more of an online citizen by linking to other good blogs (there’s a link on the right, to xiaxue’s blog). My blog feels so isolated from the world, and yet I’m not really saying anything incriminating in it.

Why would I want to say anything incriminating? Because it’s fun! I like watching people, and catching their private moments made public. Singapore is a strange city. People fight openly in the streets. No, I don’t mean in a street-brawl sense… I mean lovers’ tiffs. Why would you put all your emotions on display like that? I know they probably couldn’t help it, but perhaps they should wait till they get to somewhere private?

In charting a new course for my blog, I shall try to keep it from sinking into the morass of absolutely self-related and thus boring blogs. I’ve read some really bad ones, which talk all day long about what they did, where they went, and whining about all the bad things that happened to them. The main problem with blogs like these is the lack of introspection. It is possible to chronicle your life and yet not sound self-absorbed.

mr brown’s blog is a good example. He’s not shy to talk about his life, but no way in hell could you call him self-absorbed. Oh yes, I shall also swear more. I never vent in real life, and I won’t swear too much here, but at least I can be less guarded.

I think I shall try a Bridget Jones-style statistical blog. Numbers are a good way of making things interesting. I shall count the number of fights I see each day! That should be good! Along with the number of loud people in lecture, and the amount of time a lecturer takes to switch on the computer.

I can’t add pictures to this blog, apparently. I could move to blogger.com, but I don’t know enough HTML to make it look good, and also I have nowhere to host my pictures. Sob. It’s okay. I shall rely on my fantastic powers of description!
