This is sad.

It really is. But I think I'm losing my blogging mojo. I no longer have the itch to blog. No longer feel guilty for not blogging (which was what always brought me back to blogging). But I really no longer feel like blogging.

I'm afraid... this could really be the end of blogging for me. Oh ma gad. You're sad? EVEN I AM SAD. I think it's becoming one of those msn fads. Once so popular, then it goes away. I usually am the last few clinging on. In fact, when msn was dying, I clung on to it. And of course, to be able to cling on to it, I must still have had friends on msn. Well, there was one. And that was Jia qi hahahahaha. After I got Facebook, Msn died. It died for me.

Now, blogging seems to be going with it. Which is sad lah. I mean, it's like a diary that has run out of pages, closed, and dumped to a side in a cardboard box. Safely kept forever. With thoughts, memories, in this case of zapyou, years and years of memories. Since I was 14. That is almost 8 years worth of memories.

Interesting how these technological fads come and go...

Unlike the case of msn, whereby Facebook became a more popular means of communication, no other medium stole me away from blogging. Yet I've grown lazy from blogging.

Then, actually, I think.. there WAS a medium that stole me away.

I think Instagram took its place. It took blogging's place. I must admit, I've been Instagramming a lot lately.

Why?

Because it's so much more user-friendly than blogging in terms of picture uploading. You send it right there and then when you snap the picture, you have a little caption to go with it. There you go, a wrap up of the things interesting in my life. Then there really isn't no point in blogging anymore. Uploading pictures takes agesssss on blogs. And with so many pictures, it takes even longerrrr. For Instagram, you just pick one perfect picture and done, it's shared with all my friends.

Best of all, your picture gets validated. You get likes. You know who's following you. You know that people know about your life. And that's simply that. We love sharing about our lives. And a small mouthful of that is enough. One picture. That's all it takes.

I think one thing about Instagram is that, my circle of friends are on it. They no longer blog. So, Instagram is the new place to be. To update and update on your life. It's the new means of updating your friends about your life.

But I still love how blogs dig deeper. You know and understand a blogger- his traits and whims- by the way she or he types. The way he comprehensively writes down his thoughts, it's easier to dissect and understand what a person is like through their writing.

Whereas Instagram? NEH. Everyone shares about the good stuff. Nobody takes a picture of a dead cat and says "That's me. My life is dead. Like this pussy." Then you're just gonna be awkward and nobody's gonna give a shit about your dead picture of a cat hahaha. There's an image to upkeep on social media man. Blogging isn't really social media. More like old media now. Even Xiaxue is failing to blog coz of her motherly duties. Only Tammytay, who recently announced her pregnancy to the whole world. But for her, I think it's kinda like her bread and butter. Xiaxue has made a name for herself already, everyone knows her and so the money comes to her. She's not obliged to blog regularly.

And me? Hahahahha, I'm just an NTU kid on Internship right now. I probably have lost all my lovely readers. One of them is me. I have stopped contributing. Sigh.

Before I decided to blog about this post, I even hesitated coz I was lazy. Lazy to type. Lazy to do anything. Nobody's gonna read. Even my friends aren't gonna read. Coz they no longer blog. And I think they've recently seen a lack of updates on my blog. So they're not gonna read.

NO ONE'S READING. So there's almost no obligation to continue blogging.

It's really sad lah. I mean, I can continue typing this to myself. Yes, like a diary. But diligence and commitment must come with it.

Actually. Even Facebook is getting boring to me. I dunno what I should do. Actually I do. I have the itch to travel again. Need to get my bum off and do something. I have the itch to get my ears pierced (finally) but maybe in May haha. I have the itch to simply try something new lah. Change my look or something.

Working has been keeping me really occupied recently. It's slowly getting into the daily grind of things. Like I know what comes next etc etc. And things go smoothly. I just can't wait to start filming my own episode of On the Red Dot. I want to challenge myself to do something. I feel BORED. I dunno why suddenly. Maybe coz I'm just tired now.

Or maybe I'm just sad that I'm at the brink of putting an end to this blog. Sigh!!!!

In any case, the blog will always be here. I won't ever shut it down as long as the great World Wide Web is still around. I won't~ It'll always be here. I will always be here. I wish to blog about something amazing soon. Share more thoughts about things I think about. Have so much inner thoughts that need to be typed out eh.

See ya lata, soon I hope : )
