One of the office staff found my blog!!! :-0!!!! She saw me and quoted a post I had written. I could just smile at her and although her command of the English language is moderate, I hope it would help her to improve her language. :-) Since she is reading about somebody she knows, it would be quite interesting. At least there is some use of my blog. Anyway, a blog is actually quite public since I have no control over who views it. It is listed in the blog list although I could limit the search engines to Google only. Why am I blogging?
Hmmm... why? Firstly, it was due to En. Jusni, my ICT lecturer at IPDA. Secondly, I need an outlet for my thoughts and experiences that I have gone through in my life since I do not write a diary anymore. I used to be a faithful diary writer. Every year without fail. But, since diaries are becoming scarce and redundant in this new age of technology, I decided that blogging sort of make up for it. Except that it is not too personal. I told my sons about it hoping that one day, when nostalgia hits them or I am no longer around, they might be interested to get to know their mother better. Perhaps, they will understand her better. Finally, I hope, whoever reads my blog (at this moment of time - 2183 page reviews) will learn something from it, motivated by it, inspired by it (ha..ha.. :-D) and become wiser because of it.
I started blogging way back in 2008. Somehow, I did something to my gmail account that I had blocked everything and it could not be accessed any more. My ICT friends tried but it could not be rectified. Hence, the new blog. I also read an article how this mother wrote letters for her children to be given to them on their 21st birthday if anything should happen to her as her link to them so that they will learn and be wiser from her collection of memoirs and experiences of them. Another fear of mine is being struck by stroke (as in my father and paternal grandmother) or the symptoms of Alzheimer (as in my mother) and whereby, nothing in the mind works anymore. It will be a sad case of where the body is willing but the mind is not. I hope, in my own small way, I will remain a part of their lives. Less important and significant as the years go by but a meaningful part of them. InsyaAllah.
Thus, the lyrics from Michael Jackson's song - "One Day in Your Life" - means a lot to me and to those very dear and near.
One day in your life
You'll remember a place
Someone's touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around you......
One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me, somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day.......
A dear friend suggested to turn the posts in the blog into a book. Ha..Ha.. who would want to read about me! Maybe one day, I would have to make a hard copy of this in case I lose everything in cyber space again. Just like my scrap book. It's part of me. Only someone would know and understand the significant of it. I used to put in a lot of photos to make it more personal but when I noticed that there are others whom I do not know read my blog, I decided to take out most significant ones. Thus, I add in beautiful quotes that somehow expressed just what I want to say. Hence, I still make it personal. Dear readers or page reviewers, do feel free to leave positive comments that might benefit not only me but others. InsyaAllah. Thank you for taking time to read and enjoy my ramblings. Hope it was worth the time spent. :=)))
