hello people again :)

been thinking about the concept of blogs and their purposes...why exactly do people blog about their lives to the entire world? what is the point of exhibiting your thoughts? but not all people who blog are exhibitionists. or are we all too caught up in the novelty of an online diary? hm..maybe its liberating to tell all to people you don't really know. i really should go get a personal blog one day to find out....

have realised tt it takes effort to keep up a 'good' blog. i mean, you cant just write about anything you fancy or anything that happens to you like you would do in a normal diary. that's cos people are actually reading your blog and if they happen to know you personally, well, then you would prob like to select what stuff to blog to sustain their interest and to avoid embarrassing yourself or anyone else. in that case, i dont suppose any blog can be totally truthful. there will always be subjects which are not suitable to bring up on a blog, no matter how forthright you are as a person. so maybe its more accurate to call blogs 'fictionalised truth'. makes one wonder, ya?

yii wen
p.s. how many people actually read this thing, anyway?
