^Can you guess what I am going to blog today?
-----------------------------------------------
Yet another month has passed, and again, it took me this long to get my lazy arse moving and log in a brand new entry for my blog.
A few... rather eventful stuff, happened during this dry period of blogging. Quite a handful of stuff to talk about actually, so I decided to spread them out. To make things a little interesting, I will have each incident input in reverse-chronological order over the next few days. Strictly on July's events though, but my title today still comes into relevance (recollecting memories ma~).
So a quick rundown on what to expect, my dear readers:
Day1= The 9-years old diary
Day2= Cosfest 2007
Day3= Game Exoro @ NUS
Day4= Transformers! & Aruru?
Day5= East Coast's (Slave) Job
Well, just look at the list; 5 days worth of wonderful blogging. Ain't you excited already? =D
Okay, putting crap aside, today's topic will be about my 9yrs old diary.
I wanted to talk about Cosfest2007 which happened today, but I haven't gotten my pics from JW & Shawn so I will just get that entry done tomorrow...I think.

kiddish-diary...I think someone gave it to me =D
So what-the-heck is this 9yrs diary crap?? Simply put, it is a really laughable mini-notebook I had been keeping for nine years. Yep, ever since I was in primary6. The things I wrote inside spanned for roughly 2 years; 1998~2000, before my laziness finally got the better of me. Still, the diary contained numerous lame articles I wrote, which really proved how immatured I was back then.
However, what is interesting was how it contained an abstract of my old love-life (or the lack thereof).
Here's a snippet, directly quoted from my diary:
7 August 2000
" ...xxx came to school today, I was so happy. Not only that, I also got to take the same M.R.T Train with her. I didn't look directly at her when on the train. I was talking to ChongKai but in my heart I am thinking of her. When ChongKai got off the train, I just stare outside, as long I don't look at xxx.
I don't have the guts to look at her..."
"...I wanted to look at xxx after the train ride . (We lived in Tampines) So when the train reached Tampines, I walked slower so I could be at the back of her. But it didn't work. She walked even slower!
Just outside the station, I pretended to top up my fare card just to look at her. But I didn't know she would also go and top up her fare card! xxx was so near to me, (around 10cm apart!) that I quickly walked back home, trying not to look at her.
...I hope xxx will turn up tommorrow!"
100% extracted from my diary, which kinda explains the weird grammar, typos, and sentence structure. Obviously my old flame's name was censored as xxx in this case, for privacy sake.
My point? It is FUN to read your old diary/logbook and see how much you have changed in contrast to yesteryear. And of course, the fun is doubled when you have lame stuff written - most definitely amusing for future readings.
So go blog your stuff and keep them safe, for in a few years down the road you can enjoy reminiscing those stuff~ Cheers
