Turning Back To Blogging
It has been probably two years since I blogged publicly. I do blog occasionally but its more of a hidden blog where only those really close to me know of its existence. Honestly, I am blogging again because I miss the fun of creative writing. Posting absolute gibberish with style and total nonsensical flair is something I really miss. Apart from the tedious academic writing and quick boring posts that relates my life... I don't do much writing.
The true confession is; I am afraid that my artsy fartsy side of writing would soon wear out as formal writing is slicing it bit by bit. I am also shocked at how bad my spelling became from all these lack of writing while the speed of it plunging downwards could cost me a hefty speeding ticket on the road. The cause of it? I blame my lazy self. The short forms I indulged on instant messaging and SMS is really eating my language. Not that I had really good language command before this... and thats the big problem. I can't let it go lower than before.
I remembered how I started routine blogging in my sixth form with a fellow classmate/friend Cheng Sim. We wanted to get at least a Band 5 for our MUET exam and thought that we need to practise writing 'cause our writing were not really flattering. Thus we started blogging a lot. Made lots of friends and had lots of fun hiding our blogs from nosy classmates and schoolmates. Now I am going to blog like before to improvise the English. I abhor the sight of my deteriorating language commands. English gone bad has a company, that is Malay gone rusty... due to lack of practise. I can't write proper Malay anymore. I was used to acing Malay in school and my teachers were proud of me 'cause I am one of the very few non-malay that can score on Bahasa Malaysia. Now... its like I can't even write a sentence of formal malay without it sounding really broken.
What am I to do? I might occasionally blog in Malay to sustain it from being too rusty. Welcome gibberish! :) I feel a sense of excitement!!!
