I have always enjoyed reading blogs... Not that I am KPO! Haha. It's just that when I read what the bloggers have entered, especially topics related to their kids, I will recall pleasant memories when my own children were going through those phase. Oh, I truly miss those days! Their innocent smile, their babblings, the way they toddled... Practically everything from infancy till the time they turned into the terrible twos... Now that they are older (my boy has just turned 5 and my girl will be turning 4 next January), I am always busy scolding them when they quarrel or when they take a long time to finish their meal. Haiz...
Well, back to the blog topic, I have never thought that I will, one day, have my own blog. The very main reason was because I am not a linguistic person. I don't enjoy writing or in fact, reading. I don't read newspapers or books but I do read magazines! And when it comes to cooking books, I will not even browse through if there are no photos in it. I need photos to visualise! Haha.
The other reason was the fear of not knowing what to write... What if i run out of topics? What if readers find my entry boring? And lots more of what ifs... Hehe.
One night, while I was chatting with Dawn, I was telling her how cheeky her son's smile was. She suggested that I read her blog entry for that day. And so I did. It was hilarious! Her son, Sam, an 18 month old kid escaped from his playzone while his parents were busy cleaning up in the kitchen. The place was enclosed but he still managed to get out, not by lifting or opening up the panels... But, by squeezing himself in between the panel and the wall. Haha. After reading it, I had flashback of my kids doing something similar...
She then asked if I blog. Well, I told her the truth, about me not knowing what to write. Dawn, being a sweet friend, said "Just write about what happened that day. Write about your children. Write about what you did." And after that, she forward me the link to set up a blog... How can I not create an account if she has already provided me with some guidance???
So, here I am, keying in my very 1st entry... All thanks to Dawn!
