1,000 visitors! And my Nuffnang Obssession.
WOOT!
Tonight marks the 1,000 milestone for my blog. Yes, that’s right people, the counter states that it’s already the thousandth click now. Awesome stuff. Since 4th August, which means 8 days now and finally. That equals to around 100 clicks per day. That’s not too bad I guess.
Some background information about myself.
Back then, diaries were the in thing but then, I always ended up having to worry about the condition of these diaries. Hence, I stopped doing that and since technology was getting savvier, I wonder why not start blogging? However, blogging wasn’t so much indulged as these days. Back then, people just blogged so that they can vent their frustrations with everything and anything that happened in their lives. There are also the constant blog wars that happens from time to time. I have to say I’m guilty of that.
Amazing. We used to have blog wars with classmates and colleagues but nowadays, we even have wars with fellow bloggers. I’m pretty sure many people out there would agree. Even without meeting each other in real life, people can get offended by what they see online. Meh, right?
Blog has evolved. Now, you can see people blogging for various reasons and with the emergence of Nuffnang and several other online advertising companies, people now see blogging as a career. Even XiaXue said that. So cool right? And if you say this in the past, people would just laugh in your face. However, these days, people will start asking, “How?”.
People might wonder how long I will blog again. Though I’m sure they are not complaining since I’ve been blogging everyday now. Even laoniang is scolding me for not studying and instead checking out Nuffnang every now and then. Tsk tsk. I’m not the only one okay? LOL.
Anyhow, this is not my first time blogging. It traces back from when I was ITE, I guess and that was like fix to six years ago. Initially, I blogged because I felt like I needed some place to pen my thoughts on. I had my own domain the other time and loved it but I guess I feel more comfortable now using blogger. I mean, why waste money right? My purpose is to earn money not lose them. So hopefully, if one day when my blog gets thousands and millions of hits, then maybe I can consider. Who knows? I might even sponsor you as well.
Right.
And I would love to take this opportunity to thank all my readers for supporting me thus far; especially my friends who always never fail to visit my blog and stalk me and also the Nuffnanger friends I’ve made since my induction to Glitterati status.
There have been fond moments so far and I seriously nearly gave up studying because I wanted to blog so much but I realised that I have to be realistic eh? Studies still comes first. Blog after I study.
Exams starts on Friday and I’m still not done with my revision. Tsk tsk.
Anyhow, here are some of the highlights of this blog with Nuffnang.
My first top ten innit post
My second top ten innit post, courtesry of Tiuniasing.
Shiok moment. Two posts in top ten.
So many fond memories and it’s only been a week being a Glitterati member. I’m so happy in short. May this be a start to another milestone. The next 1,000 perhaps? I wouldn’t know.
And yet, I still keep asking.
Why still no ads for yours truly?
A Question I will post to you guys is.

On a side note, thank you guang you for helping me highlight my notes today.

A Maths is <3.
I know I’ve been fretting over A Maths exam since last friday and I’m glad it’s all over and done with! And looking at how the paper is, I think I can pass. I was so scared alright? I thought it was going to kill me right there and then. But then when I looked through the papers, it went out fine. After an hour and a half, I was finally done with the paper.
Somehow, my heart is telling me that it’s not gonna be a D and even be something better. Wootness. I hope I get more than a D. Hopefully.
But I’m pretty tired now. Three hours of sleep only the day before. I was pretty surprised that my brain functioned well. Here’s to the lack of sleep and focusing on the wrong thing. To think that I was up watching Olympics and then had RFA revision tutorial today as well. Do everything last minute. Tsk Tsk.
Of course, I’ve been saying how much I hate A Maths since like forever but now that it’s over, I’m beginning to miss it already.
I know, the past four months have been so horrendous but finally it’s over.
AAH. Whatever. One module down, three more to go. Wish me luck people!

It’s Okay To Be Gay.
I met a friend a few days back but never actually blogged about it. Thing is, I’ve never been fond of this particular friend. He’s a homophobic, he hates everything that everyone does and the thing about him that irks me the most is the fact that he thinks that he’s always right.
I know. You’ve always heard of “the customer is always right.” right? LOL. But his case is an exceptional one.
Thing is, I practically grew up with this friend I would affectionately called Moron. Since my secondary school days, he’s never failed to traumatise the lives of the weak and the unprotected. I’m finallly glad the day we officially graduated from secondary school. There are more reasons for me not to hang out with him.
So, it was a pleasant surprise to see him along the road one day. And he was telling me about his experiences in national service. It was their Passing Out Parade and of course he was excited about passing out. The first lap was finally over.
Hence, he and a couple of buddies went to hang out together. I believe they headed out to a club and then wasted the night away. I’m not sure what they actually indulge in but basically they were then around the vicinity of the red light district.
I was beginning to roll my eyes at this point of time.
Desperate much?
I wanted to know of course if he laid anyone there but instead, this is what I found out. I honestly couldn’t stop laughing after this.
He didn’t. He got cold feet. Apparently, he didn’t even want to go close to that place. No one knew why but no one was prepared to let it go at that.
When he went back camp the following week, he was surprised to see people talking about him. He was puzzled about why everyone was giving him the weird look and he figured it must have been the “backout” thing the other night. So, he asked one of his best mates in camp who didn’t go for the outing.
Moron: Eh, why people looking at me like that huh?
Josh: You should know what?
Moron: Because of the other night huh?
Josh: Yeah.
Moron: OMG. Very paiseh you know.
Josh: Haha. I can tell.
Moron: How? How? How to solve this?
Josh: Actually Moron, it’s alright. I heard about you backing out and all. I think it’s perfectly fine. No matter what it is, I’m still your friend. Stop reproaching yourself. People will accept you no matter what happens.
** At this point of time, Moron was puzzled.
Moron: I don’t get you.
Josh: We know why you backed out…..
“And it’s okay to be gay.”
HAHAHA. Anyways, I’m glad that I was able to share this story with you. I was damn pleased when I heard this. Awesome eh? I got to get ready for school now though. See you guys soon!
