From 2007-2016

I had grown up with this blog. 

I had grown up writing stuffs on this blog. 

The years from 2007 to 2016 had witnessed my various transitions

2007- I was just 17 when I created this blog. It was in December 2007, a few weeks after I had finished my last paper for SPM. Blogging seems cool (It still is). Back then, I didn't care much about what people think of me when they are reading what I had written. I was free to just express my feelings without restriction. Blogging was much so fun back then, when you had other friends who blogged as well. Those were the days when there were no Twitter or Instagram. Only a number of us have a facebook account, while most used Friendster or MySpace. Those were the days of spamming the cboxes in other people's blogs, the days of blogwalking. Those were the days of doing online quizzes and posting the results on your blog. Hahaha. 

2008- 2010 I received my SPM result. Contemplating which path to take next. And I ended up pursuing my foundation studies in CFS IIUM, PJ, which also means the beginning of a totally new life for me, where I had to learn to survive on my own and be independent. It was my first time staying far from my family. I cried a lot at first, and I survived, thanks to many friends I've made, and experiences I've garnered. There were bitter moments, yet there were more sweet memories made. Those were the golden years of this blog, whereby I would write a post at least once a week. Those were the days where there were no WiFi, and when I had the sudden, intense desire to write a blog post, I would head out to the Cyber Cafe, paying 50 cent for 15 minutes just to write a blog post using the super slow internet available there (Internet Dial-Up). 

2010-2014 A new life in IIUM Kuantan. A new life as a B.Pharm student. I love those 4 years spent in UIA, as those years were very fruitful indeed. I managed to maintain my academic performance up to a certain acceptable level (LOL) and I was also quite active in various co-curricular activities. I was the Quiz Moderators, the emcees for various events, the Editor for my society's magazine, the official correspondent aka journalist for IIUM-New Straits Times' 'The Torch', the committee of the YearBook, I had participated in various games and volunteer activities. Simply said, I had done many things. I didn't regret any of it. And oh, I made many friends as well. 

2015 till 2016. Graduated. I am no longer a student, but now, a working adult with a lot of responsibilities. I braved through the hardship of the PRP year of which, I can now said, had made me grown resilient and stronger. Again, I had made real, true friends who are always there with you during your moments of hardship, the ones who had seen you cried, the ones whom you always had fun with. 

I had created a new blog. But somehow, writing there doesn't feel the same. The new blog seems like a stranger, to which you had doubts and uncertainties over pouring out your feelings towards it. While this blog, this blog had seen me in my times of weaknesses and strength, of sadness and happiness. It had seen my imperfections but while it knows that it is not a good thing to show your imperfections for others to read, it knows that those that happened in the past, stayed in the past. Those mistakes and imperfections make up who I am today, as I had tried my best to learn from those mistakes to become a better person every day. 

Maybe I'd continue blogging until I'm old and wrinkled, perhaps until the day I die. Who knows, if I managed to become a famous person someday, this blog would serve as my legacy. HAHAHA. Dream on.
