Gravity, me and you...

Hey you ALL, if you are reading this now, means you are one of the most important people in my life... in here... I will do my best to share my thoughts, my life, my everything...

This is my first blog ever, is it common to feel nervours while writing your first blog? I wonder... The feeling is like the first time I drove a car, the first time I played a solo in front of a hall-full of audience with my silver-coated Yamaha trumpet, the first time I looked into a girl's eyes, and tell her how much I love her...

The name of my blog is shown up there, 'Gravity, me and you', I have been thinking for a long period, what should I name it, it started of by looking for names that are cool and jazzy, but then I thought, why not give it a name that is simple, but true, one of the main reason i dubbed this blog 'Gravity, me and you', is because I hope this blog would act like gravity, which pulls me and you together... cool huh?

Where did I get the idea of writing blogs online, you might ask, I was inspired by one of my elder brother's friend, Pauline, Paul in short, she is currently a user of www.blogger.com as well, and she invited me to read her blogs a few months ago, and that is when my interest on writing blogs started to grow... there is actually a few advantages... well, at least to me... First, as a chinese, a race that does not know how to really express themselves (deep-down-under) in public, or to another person face-to-face (have you ever had the experience where you want to say thank you to a person, just a sincere thank you, but you couldn't spell it out?), I think that having a place to share your own thoughts, and can be read conveniently by your friends and relatives is a good thing, Second, by writing more, I can improve my ability to handle english language, Third, I can write my thoughts rather than wondering in this virtual world doing unproductive things...

Its like a custom, the conversation will usually starts like this:
'hey...what are you doing?'
'doing nothing, just chatting... how about you?'
'I am not doing anything as well... so bored lar...'

and somehow, the conversation ends like this:
'so am I...'

If we all know that we don't really have a topic to chat about, then what's the point of chatting? Well, because human being is afraid of being alone, it is a basic instinct, that's why our ancestors started to live in crowds in the first place, that's why people wants to get married, that's why, Nokia is able to pop-up in the middle of no where and be a worldwide leader in communication products, that's is also why, I am sitting here, this very moment, writing this blog...

I hope that this blog can really help me to express my thoughts to all... even if it is merely a sincere 'thank you'...

Finally, 'thank you' all for stopping by, please do drop me a Comment, I'd appreciate it...

Hey~ Got to know about your blog from your friendster. Drop by to have a look. Though this post has been a while, intend to leave a message too. ^_^ Welcome to the BLOGGING world!! I have my own blog too which is http://blueyi.blogspot.com

Seems that you are still a new user. While me~ Hehe~ I've been blogging for 1 year! Lol~ But my posts are mostly rubbish, articles & pics that I wanted to share with my friends, give them the latest news on what I'm doing recently. I don't need to send mail one by one then ;p

Haha~ Agreed with what you said. To improve my English is another main reason I started to blog. Unfortunately, sometimes I'll use "Manglish" unconsciously. -_-

Reading others' blog helps to improve my English too beside knowing what are my friends on doing recently. Sharing ideas & thoughts with friends here is really fun! There's still many exciting things you can find in here. Explore yourself~

Take care~ ^_^
