So fast, holiday will b ending in 2 days time. How i wish i can tetain time but i cant. Been reflecting upon myself whether i've spent my holidays ideally, and i guess i will giv a partial no. No because i've not really enjoyed myself to e fullest. Yes bcoz i did alot of mugging. Well, its such a boring saturday night. Lets me discuss on some of e blogs i've visited, either recently or previously.

As blogging becomes a prevalent phenomenon, bloggers blog not for e sake of blogging and staying in the trend but for various purposes. While i m not fortunate enough to know of pple or friends who blog to tell their meaningful stories on how they conquer difficulties and obstacles in their lives, i discovered many interesting styles of blogging among the pple i know. For privacy sake, i will not mention whose blog it belongs to but ya, if u happens to read it and u think it matches ur blog, so be it:

--> Lets name this person A. A's blog is all about personal reflection. Almost every entries are reflection of what he has done and what he has observed. Reading A's entry is like understanding what he feels inside him and ya, the thing that impress me most is he uses proper english most of the time. This really impressed me because it betrays the fact that blogging ruins and corrodes our language. A hardly dictates wad he has done for the day or stuff but describes what he has gone through inside him. From a simple event like a change in someone's behaviour can result in a long entry of analysis, self reflection n discussion.

--> Next, we hav person B. Person B likes to dipict every single thing he has gone through. He notes down every single minute detail of e day and i think that it is not very necessary. But who am i to pick on his style of blogging. For example, a simple outing wif a few friends can end up to be 2000 words long when he adds things like "on e way, i go 7-11 and buy myself a packet of XXXX brand YYY favoured potato chips" or "so after M say good bye to me and i say goodbye to N, i took bus no. XXX home together wif Z and on e way , we do this, we do that. When i reached the busstop, i press e bell and e uncle open edoor for me to alight. Den i go to Mac and get myself a double fillet o fish burger wif extra tartar sauce n cheese........(and on n on n on n on)". Personally, i feel that blogging acts as a memory bank to help us remember significant days of our lives, just like a diary. However, personally, i feel that its e event that i want to remember and not the minute details like wad kinda chips i bought that i wanna remember. Yah. So B's blogs is usually long and its hard to locate where the focus of e entry is (though i admit that most of my entries r without focus)

---> Ok, now we hav person C. C's blog, similar to B, likes to depict every minute detail, not of things he do but things his friend say. Yup. And correct me if i m wrong, its normally e same few person saying things. Or mebbie, C oso notes down things that they as a grp suggest as a joke or stuff. For example, simple things like eating mint sweet can hav things that "ooo...den Z comment that eating mint sweet affect male productivity, and i say i shd believe coz i m a male afterall...blah blah blah". Dunno. It makes e whole entry seems that alot of things hav taken place and e enjoyment they had for e whole event is not 100% but 200%. Actually, its juz a simple outing, for example. It also make e blogger seems to b actively engaged, full of friends, fun loving, humourous n stuff. But ya, actually, he is juz a normal guy like u n me.

---> Finally, we hav person D. Person's D entries r short n sweet. Not much elaboration. For example, class chalet, "Ooo...had XXX class chalet today. Very fun...how i miss these guys. Friendships rulz. Ok, i'm tired. Cya". And yes, thats not a sentence in e entry but e whole entry itself. Well, short n sweet, i hav nothing to comment on it but i find it interesting as it cheng tuo the other 2 types of bloggers- B n C.

I wanna clarify that i am not against anyone's style of blogging. I am juz showing how different pple adopt different styles of blogging, which is quite interesting if u spend a few minutes observing n pondering. On the other hand, i am oso looking into my own style of blogging. I can consider myself e rojak style where i adopt any style i wish to adopt. Perhaps my style of blogging may be too direct that it attracts criticism. Dunno. Anyway, dats juz a little meaningless entry. If either of e above mentioned styles happens to be urs, its by pure coincedential. Wait, wad m i toking. If its u think its ur style and i am actually refering to u, den ya, haha. If u think its ur style and i am not refering to u (how would u noe whether i am refering to u or not), den its pure coincedental. Wif dat. Cya !!!
