Back here to shake away the nothingness.

 Good 4 years of blogging, nonetheless the existence of no readers as audience. Hahaha. Buttt! When I came back to read what i had been babbling for the past 10-15 years, I could not believe I got myself indulged in memories. presumably the situations framing me? No, it is the current myself reminiscing over annoying behaviours I caught before. 

Why am I back here? Not sure if I should write this, but I cant believe I feel great writing here. Feels like I am writing a journal about myself, letting myself open in the public web but with no readers except for myself in the future. It feels great. If someday I got to lose all the memories, broken nerves in the brain, I can come back here and get to know myself. 

Analysing the trends of writing since my first entry in this very own blog:

  1. 2013 - 2016
    • I wrote like a real drop dead rebellious teens hahaha. 
    • I was obsessed with korean series, and surpringly, a series with Lee Jong Suk and Lee byung -something (Ji Sung's wife) called I HEAR YOUR VOICE. 
    • I rewatched the series because I am obsessed with the laws (real law enforcement) encapsulated in the series. 
    • Because of that, I learnt Korean words religiously and I could speak it when I went to South Korea in 2014. 
  2. In the same years
    • Entailing the above traits, the way I wrote my own journal entry is very cheeky. Mixed with a few teen-wise phrases in Korean alongside. 
    • I kept taking pictures  of cute stickers and random stuffs which has no relation to the main points I highlighted in the entries. 
    • I also watched Sonny with a Chance with other Disney and Nickelodeon series as well. 
    • That makes me a copycat to be like them, hahahaha. 
  3. Few adulting years before today. 2019 - 2022
    • I rarely write in the blog but I was obsessed with thriller novels. 
    • I used this platform to summarize or review or retell to MYSELF about the novels I have read
    • Coming back to this platform put me in realisation that my craze over English fictions had contributed in my achievent of Band 5 in MUET. 
  4. 2023. Writing this on 30th december 2023. 2 days before 2024.
    • To be honest, dear self. You are now doing PhD and you are on the verge of giving up. 
    • Here you are because you told your supervisor about your preceeding hobbies before all these degrees emerged in my life. 
    • She told me to revisit and find all the fictions I myself wrote (one of them is called WILD TREE) to publish them. 
    • And here I am feeling great to write journal like this again. 

And there you are, from 2030. Coming back to see what have you been doing since the past 20 years. Glad you are still alive. Don't give up yet. Remember! What you have dreamed, like what you have mentioned in your prayers from 2013-2018, you are living it now. :) Be patient.
