my very buddy fellow colleague was reading my blog and he says i've got a problem because i like taking pictures of myself and putting it up. come to think of it, that was really narcistic of me. but that is also a common personality trait of people whom blog.

it may not be a strong and obvious characteristic in some. however, i believe this streak of personality is in a blogger, just to what extent - xiax*e vs xiaoluo. the first talks about herself all day long. the latter talks about the world, the news, the books and a tiny tiny tiny bit of himself.

i've tried to justify to say i haven't been doing that for the longest time. but actually, the real reason why you haven't seen any of my pics is because i've haven't been taking lots of pictures of myself and even if i had, i'm too lazy to upload it. *bleahz*

and maybe, i'm growing older everyday and less narcistic? i really don't know.

what i do know is, i keep this blog alive to keep in touch with friends whom i hardly meet, albeit its pretty one-way as i'm sharing about my life nitty gritties, up-and-downs, frustrations, complains etc etc. two-ways occasionally when i've got comments. and three-way when i read the blogs of friends and know whats going on in their lives.

it also serves as my personal space to share my thoughts, vent my anger and give my 2 cents worth of whatever issue was fashionable.

re-reading the past also brings back lots of warm memories. like i just spent the last hour reading my archives, reminiscing some of the good old days. this is what keeps my memory of myself alive...

'yes, bryan tan hong kwee, this post is dedicated to your comment to me this morning, i love blogging and i think you should start one too!'
