Why Write A BLog?

The Calling

The idea of blogging has been toying in my mind for some days now. Thru extensive discussions (aka " i think i wanna start a blog" , " yes u should! " ) with friends and more friends AND coupled with the various reasons listed below, I , have decided to answer the calling.

10 great reasons to blog:

(i) Curbing memory loss: I swear my memory is failing. Though some of my friends may beg to differ, I must remind the general public that absent-mindedness IS different from memory loss. I am more than just absent minded now.. Hair loss, together with incidents which probably shouldn't be elaborated now are my proof. Yes. hair loss is directly related to memory loss. SO.. by blogging, I seek to keep fond memories of my golden twenties and maybe thirties documented so i can get reminded of when i forget them. I'm not kidding.

(ii) Most convenient way to crap: See reason (i)

(iii) Retain my command of english. This is in light of the loss of my command of chinese after many years of non-practice. I can't write !@#! in chinese now. So if i dun start writing in the ONLY language i'm at least comfortable with, i may well become useless soon. Plus my occupation highly requires me to write impressively. Yes, i'm evaluated and promoted by "papers" I have to publish every year. Did i mention i'm in the military?

(x) What else do you need when u already have 9 such convincing reasons?

The calling has awakened me.
