Write about it before it is too late....

Again, I fail again and again to update the blog. Last entry was back in 2013, but my blog counter indicates that it has been viewed more than 1800 times. It feels like you have never be able to achieve your promise just  like your new year's resolution. Similar as a new year resolution, your objective will become generic, with expectation that it will never be achieved.

I will always have this fear that if I put up something for reading, it will never caught anybody's attention (obviously because I have only 1 subscriber), people will not relate to it and I could always imagined that people will laugh cynically to themselves due to various reason...i.e grammar, revealing your foolishness. But 1800 views (over a period of 6 years) does tell you something. Whatever crap that you read in the blog, the effect will be just be contained at least to my Facebook friends population (100+). So i need some strategy to spruce up my blog. 

To make my blogging life easier, I could do what Tun M is doing in his blog by writting it in point or bullet form. Straight to the point, no fancy wording or sentence. Now, is there any other reason for me not to start blogging. If my instinct said  yes, my thoughts can list more reasons for me  to start blogging. So I say yes, but below are the reasons why I really need to blog and topics which I may write about

1. I have more time now. My contract will be expiring soon. So in anticipation to becoming full time work-at-home brother/son, I better get prepare  to kill my time. I could also write about my preparation should my contract not be renewed.

2. If item 1 really happened, I would share my working experience in the industry, just as I did when I left Nestle. Probably someone who was very fresh or wanted to know how is working life in this company,it would probably give them some idea how to survive and many interesting thing on life to do in Miri when they bump into my blog.

3. How to control diabetes, keep healthy, my frequent trip for medical checkup.

4. I could also put up an entry on how to work with aging car. I had really bad experience with my Mazda Lantis and now with my Proton Waja. Compare between those 2, Waja experience are definitely worth it to share.

5. Euro 2016, predictions. My first entry was about Football, 2010 World Cup. As I was writing in this entry, Portugal has reached Semi Final. The other spot will be decided between Germany (my favourite team) and France. It would not be as enthusiastic as last time, since no more sensational story like Paul the Octopus generated in media last time, but probably I could put up a few entry of Newcastle, which has been relegated to Championship. Probably I can look into my first entry in Myspace, where my comment on Newcastle was written up.
Whoaa this one require specific entry as I was looking into my Myspace account, trying very hard to look for it, I just noticed that I could not find it. Probably Myspace has change the concept, but hopefully I can find it.
6. New family house in Nilai. I am planning to work on the house compound where I can grow vegies. Yes I will. I will show that I could grow plants or vegies if i have "Tangan Sejuk" - ability to grow plants by just sticking the seeds into the ground
7. AOB..
Probably to make my blog more interesting, need to put many pictures. Sometimes it just need a photo to bring again the memories as they say a picture says a thousand words.  I can download photos from my old album and put some comments and tell a little bit of story behind the pictures. Just to give you a sample that starts story in the Whatsapp Group



Now, comes the hardest part for me on how to end this entry like any other entries. See, when I write something, I put up the Title first and let the idea coming out afterwards. As you read the title, it says
'Write about it before it is too late". I was thinking to write about my cousin, Abang Yoes who came to visit us with his family. He has just lost her second child due to kidney complication. When caring for her daughter, he and his wife sacrifice a lot of thing, one of it was travelling away from his home and visiting relatives during school break and Raya especially. We were a little bit shocked yesterday when he came to our house on the first day of Hari Raya. He came almost Maghrib prayer time, had Jemaah Solat in our house. What interesting was the conversation that took place after Maghrib prayer. Like a long-lost family member who has been reunited, Abang Yoes shared what has been happening to his family for the past years and at times the conversation bring back memories living with Wak San in Kampung Bintang. I joined the conversation and just try to hear and think back about the memories that have been shared. That was the time it struck me that those stories need to be pen down so that moments and stories of such will always be remembered.
