Curious little mind

Hehe..

I have finally decided to do something about blog writing.. Well, this is a little confusing but here I am, a simple one for a simple me.

This is so interesting!!

Don't laugh at me - I am an easily satisfied person.

But why write in blog? I ever asked my students this question. They replied saying that this is a way for them to write down their thoughts and record down what they had done everyday. Gee, and I had read blogs of my students who REALLY jot down everything, ie. what they did from the moment they woke up, to where they had breakfast, lunch and dinner and what they eat, where they go and what they had talked to their friends.. wow! But that is boring cos I skipped many paragraphs of what they wrote, haha.

Why choose to write down your thoughts in a public domain? I mean, blog writing is diary writing isn't it? Isn't diary supposed to be something so sacred and private that you will scream and go hysterical when you find your diary missing or if you found that someone had ransacked your table and read your diary?

But I here I am.. I had chosen the public way of displaying my thoughts and my ideas. I think everyone is doing this because they want people to read what is going on in their lives? Don't shake your head so fast.. Just go to Google! and type in your name and search. I bet you can find your blog being featured. So, don't be angry when you found out that your mother, father, teacher, husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend is reading your blog!!

The world is so sad now.. we are all hiding behind the computer screen and happily typing away, hoping that there is someone out there who empathise us and who can offer us kind words of consolation..

Which comes to my next question? Is the internet a bad thing or a good thing? We are so connected up by the cable lines, it no longer matters now if you are in Italy, USA or Singapore. I use msn to chat with my cousins in Malaysia. But are relationships really improving because of this connectivity between us and the rest of the world?

Think about it... food for thought..
