The First Post

Location: Wildwood, New Jersey

I’m sitting on my oversized bunk bed, shoes, bags and used tees strewn all over the already limited floorspace, and forever feeling short of breath in my room of claustrophobical proportions.

Not the best conditions to blog I’m sure. Heck, I’m not even sure why I started blogging again. I left the old one abeyant for more than half a year, and the longer I neglected it, the harder it was for me to log in and update it. Guilt maybe, the sense of denial of this lingering fear that readers had abandoned the blog, or that I didn’t really have much to write about my life. Probably all are true, but I don’t think I’ll spend too much time philosophizing about it.

Then I started skinnygiraffe. Out of the blue, unprepared, uninformed. Bam. It just happened. And in New Jersey no less, where I’ve been freezing my butt off for the past 3 weeks, a far cry from the sunny shores of Singapore. Drastic climate change does strange things to a person, but I would like to make a more intelligent postulation how the Big Bam happened. I believe it is the witnessing (for the the first time) the change in seasons. You feel the biting winds breezing through your 3 layers of clothing, 2 layers, 1 layer as days progressed, and now I sit with a thin Timberland linen shirt (purchased at USD 9.99, long live America and your ruthless price cuts!) and a pair of brown shorts. You start to see the cyclical nature of, well, Nature, and perhaps life itself.

Not that I’m complaining Singapore’s so blazin’ hot all the time, I love warm weather btw, it’s just that I’ve never experienced something like this before. And normally when you experience something you’ve not experienced before, you get an epiphany, or somewhat an enlightening moment, like the time when I found out that the addition of all the numerals in a number that is a multiplier of 3 is divisible by 3. Like wow.

Anyway, the gist of what I’m trying to say is that when a blog dies, another one pops up. So here it is. Ok, maybe that wasn’t a very good explanation. Aiya, just know that I have a new bloody blog la. I’ll be writing kinda like a travelogue since I’m gonna be staying in Pizza Land for another 2 months.

Bookmark me. I spent 1 hour doing up the header image. Jolly well show some appreciation, dammit. I mean, if you love/adore me, that is.
