just a year shy of a decade

Didn't realize this blog is still up and running. I thought it died when I moved it over to Multiply, but oh.. that service died instead.. >,< . So did Netvibes (my previous collator of various blogs). Haven't written for ages and so much has happened to me from the last post to this revived one. The good and the bad. Am not expecting visitors. I'm just calling out to the wind and leaving some thoughts here since I always suck at writing in journals. Facebook is pretty much the 'journal' of my life for now but I've pulled back a whole lot of my personal experiences of late. It's starting to feel too doctored for 'safe' public viewing. 

So what happened? Life did. I don't know where to start or even want to try to brain pick memories. Everything's everywhere from pictures lying around in my various SD cards from my now dormant dSLR to my now cluttered IG account. Even my hashtags seem to not work so well anymore :(. Wish IG was clever enough to allow me to view all the hashtags I've used for my account! #icantkeepup - abbreviations and all the new vocab popping up in the urban dictionary every day. Goodness, age is creeping up on me. What's cool these days anyway?

Whatever it is, I've travelled the world - I think that's my perpetual life dream, am glad I'm living that up. I've moved from hobby to hobby (crafting, boardgaming, Lego collecting, painting - oils, acrylic and now watercolour). The last two years have been a musical journey from collecting 600 records, 3 turntables, a simple hifi system and a few DJing gigs here and there. 

Last trip: Egypt and the Pyramids. Yay! One achievement struck off the "1000 things I need to do before I die" list.

What's next? Heck I don't know. I just feel age is slowing me down in many ways. I still want to live a colourful life (or I think I try to), experience as many things as I can.

Do people even read blogs these days?
