Couldn't Keep Up
I was looking back at my archived entries and was amazed by how much I could blog in the past. The blogging urge that I once had, those seemingly endless inspirations are now something which the current me is envious about.
Yue Kai tagged and inquired about the lack of an updated blog. And it just dawned upon me that I just couldn't keep up.
It's not as if I have nothing to write about; in fact I have lined up so many different stories to share with readers of my blog over the past few months, or even the past year, but only a handful of them was actualised.
Procrastination? Perhaps. I have a lot to say, but there's something missing. Like a missing ingredient. An essential ingredient that will again ignite the passion I once had for blogging.
The documentations on my blog is certainly not an accurate illustration of my life. It's not that mundane. Probably too much is happening, and I just couldn't keep up.
It's the same feeling for the various progess my friends are making in their respective lives. Which universities are they going? What courses are they pursuing? Double degree? Which country are they heading to for their tertiary education? Are the guysproudly serving their country or currently in the Medicine faculty? Which units are the guys posted to? What's their ranks? Are they now PES A or PES C? Are they still attached? Have they separated? Is there a class outing?
And it doesn't help when your social circle has a circumference as that of the Equator. I am not complaining about knowing too many people, or boasting about how many people I know (in fact, I say how many people I know, and not how many friends I have) It's just that somehow you feel obliged to keep yourselves updated on their current status.
Which is why I love Facebook and MSN Messenger. I can roughly know how each and everyone is doing by scanning through their nicknames and status bars.
And then you feel obliged to meet up with them and attend outings and gatherings. I don't detest most of them; in fact I do miss them sometimes. But sometiems you just can't bear to bring yourself to go meet them.
Because you know that there would be awkwardness when you guys meet. This awkward conversation of inquiring everoyne about their current status. This awkaward conversation of revolving around superficial topics like, "How's life?", "How's uni?", and "How's NS?". A convenient question to fill the gaps of awakward silence, an open-ended question that has potential to prolong the survival of conversations, which usually fail anyways because the respondants usually feel the same awkwardness as well and will summurise their current lives within seven words.
You ask an awkaward question, and you will get an awakward response.
We know that, yet we still ask the same questions.
We have failed to keep up with each other's lives.
And not that we can even keep up with our own lives.
Just to let all of you to keep up with my life, I will be away for an Exercise from 11/10/08 to 17/10/08. And 13/10/08 will be my blog's 4th anniversary.
Do SMS me while I am away from civilisation. Keep me updated.
