It has been a good decade or so lying in internet obscurity, freeloading off the vast amount of information online and silently reeling/rejoicing at the content of certain weblogs. Much time has also been spent fervently trying to evade the long arms of the Recording Industry Association, as some would know that my forages in music piracy will make Capt. Jack Sparrow a really small…..sparrow. It was great times; hiding behind the anonymity of the monitor, browsing through the internet with more of what other people can offer me, never vice-versa. Until now.
Alright, so I am finally blogging. Why now? Why me? “Now”, because this module I am taking - ES2007s - dictates that I do so. “Me”, because I made the choice to take this module to be more comprehensible to those whom I communicate with.
Communication is a skill which I believe isn’t born within anyone. A newborn baby cries when he’s hungry, cries when he’s in pain, cries when he wakes up, cries anything except tears of joy I suppose. I have never seen a newborn making a spoon-to-mouth gesture when hungry in my life. Therefore I concur, that communication, verbal or not, is only a skill we pick up along life’s journey. A new journey awaits me in life as I leave the boring pasty facades of the Engineering faculty to the even more depressing concrete jungle. I need to make myself heard, or more importantly, understood. In these bad times, we face stiff competition for jobs. Acing an interview is also another motivation for me to listen attentively during ES2007s tutorials. Haha.
Thus, this concludes my first ever worthy contribution to the Internet. I have always thought most blogs were like cringe-worthy advertisements of one’s personal life. However, lying outside my tunnel vision are blogs which do make a difference to the world and the way others live their lives. These blogs communicate and speak to us. Can hanrongisreallyblogging.blogspot.com be one of them? Is the world ready for my views or will I be receptive to the comments I receive? I wait in eager anticipation. Till the next big one…
