OMG! I totally forgot for 10 years that I had a blog!

I was just searching for some information online, which led me to a blogger.com page, which led me to notice that I was logged in, which led me to check out the menu and profile out of curiosity, and which led to the discovery or should I say rediscovery of MY BLOG.

W.O.W.

I HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT.

Last posting was in 2007. This is 2016. That's a whole 10 years that went by without recalling this site. Bits and pieces of memory only came back after reading through the posts.

This was a blog set up for my own ramblings, the saner versions that my friends might read. I had another blog in chinese, a Taiwan site I recall, where I'd put more effort in editing pictures of colourful rain boots and wrote anonymously. I think I stopped blogging in both sites at about the same time.

I can't recall why I stopped but it wasn't deliberate. From the date of the last posting, it certainly coincided with my onset of Grave's Disease (there was half a year where I was really ill with an autoimmune disease but was wrongly diagnosed as anxiety and given sleeping pills, no thanks to NHS...) and I probably had enough of writing for a lifetime while working on my Thesis.

It felt really creepy reading what was written back then, and revisiting the thoughts that had once occupied my head which I have no recollections of.

I have decided not to delete it as it reminded me of the life I used to have. A great life in another part of the world. And I hope it'll not take another 10 years for me to come back to this site again.

Friends, if you happen to see this, please leave me a message. I really wonder who else is still active on blogger.com. Happy 10th year anniversary too.
