making a return

Seeing as so many of my friends and acquaintances are now blogging (it wasn’t like this 3 years ago when this blog was started), I decided it was about time to dust off the old horn and make some belated contributions to the blogosphere.

First, there was the lil matter of housekeeping and re-learning the interface in order to make the customisations that I wanted. Rusty with HTML, it took a few bleary eyed hours messing with the codes in the templates before I finally got all my tinkering done and was satisfied (well, all I that could manage for now anyway).

Next up was updating the link list. In my hiatus some of the blogs on the list have undergone some name changes, no doubt as a result of some 'paradigm shift' -- pink, paisley & bubbly lifeisfabulous.com is now looking for answers while being so Zen and transcendentallishly blue (cool!), and the unremitting Apocalypse is now 1fracturedpsyche (shocking!). TV Smith is, thank God, still at his satirical best. New on the list is Jenn, a "single, jaded and nocturnal" chick person who's got a right bowling arm that is incidentally worth a million dollars. Is she any good at bowling then? I don't know.
The latest addition to the list brings us back to the topic. Hammerstone, one of my "longkang friends", has got a blog! It's called "Life that's what is it about...". Er let's just call it "Hammerstone's blog". In fact it's not just only a blog but one of those newfangled community sites a la MySpace that lets you host blogs, photos and stuff. (Too bad MySpace wasn't around when I was growing up, there was a teacher I'd love to have had on it, heh)

"longkang friends" -- a term introduced to me by another friend of mine whom I'll just refer to as 'Sorhai' -- def: friend from childhood, known since we were kids, and since we were kids, there's the very likelihood of us having played together in and around the huge and dangerous storm drains in the neighbourhood that our mothers worried we would drown in

Now I'm on a quest to find out if any more of my childhood friends are blogging. Yeah it's so popular and widespread now that even our country's recently retired former prime minister has started one. It's called, what else, The Tun Blogs.So wot's coming next? Well, first, I'm gonna start updating myself. I'm gonna have to buy a webcam, yeah. So's I can start posting those fuzzy poorly lit webcam angled kinda pics of myself that I see everywhere on the net. Yeah, maybe we'll even do a WnW Numa Numa vid.
