THIS IS THE 100TH BLOG!
It's been 2 weeks since I arrived from the UK. After 1 and a half years there, I'm finally back. First impression, damn it's hot here. Irony, since the first thing that came to my mind the first time I stepped out of the cab I took from Heathrow to Cambridge 18 months ago was England is freaking cold. Heh. I manage to see a few friends, especially those who were kind enough to fetch me from the airport(alan kazaam n ldw) plus skaters, during my 5 days stay in KL. And during that 5 days, we did quite a few things, talked about a few things and a few things happen which reminds me of the good old days back in KK. And pardon me for saying my good old days only started a few months before we sat for SPM. That is when I discovered that among all your friends, those that stay with you when you're in a deep shit are the ones that you should be most loyal too. E.g., when your car run over a sharp object thrown by a moron onto the road which blow the shit out of your tyre, how many friends would actually drive all the way from PJ to Zoo Negara, risking traffic jam and waiving lunch, just to pass you an allen(is that how you spell it??) key? Close to nil. Just one of my many definitions of friends whom I would appreciate. Among others, sending his friend to his friend's sister's house only to find themselves making u-turns from time to time since the fella lost his direction,spending one hour watching his friend making a fool out of himself trying to impress his niece, etc. Things good friends would do for you, and which you should appreciate a lot! Kudos to them. Too bad I didn't have enough time spend time with these people and see others since some of us these days are committed to classes, exams, presidency.... =P I'm going to OBW this coming weekend, so hopefully I can see more of these lots in koleq (so that I can show them my long hair before I trim it hehehehehhe..).
As been told by the bolded captions up there, this is our hundredth blog since it was first launch. And for a website which is viewed by many, and whose blog can be written by many too, 100 blogs in more than a year time is not very much. Up until today, we've got about 80 registered user (if we omit those who registered twice, or even thrice if there's any!), yet participation is very low. I was hoping to receive more demands for access to write in the weblog, and to see more people saying something AT LEAST in the chatterbox. I don't think I should even start on guestbook and personal message. I've some plans for the website, enhancing it with a few more features. However, and this sucks, I can't access the hosting's webpage(not sure why, but maybe because the hosting is UK-based), my desktop is a bit screwed up and it runs on ME, and the suckiest of all, I'm on dial-up! It'll take me ages to upload updated files to the server. Screw TMNET for not allowing me to register Streamyx for only 3 months! Not that it was faster when me and Alan first got our hands into internet and websites, but having used broadband for more than a year made me a spoilt brat when it comes to internet speed. I'm gonna miss all those anime's I've been keeping up with, and songs, and movies, and music videos, and..... Sorry guys, but without new blogs or posts in the chatterbox, this is how this page will remain till Sept.
OK, it's almost time for Holland-Sweeden game. And this has been an exceptionally long blog of mine. 2 and a half months to go. Hope than I can catch up with some old friends before the plane takes off again.
