You ever read those kind of of blogs that goes:
I love my life!! Today, A and B came over and asked me whether I want to mamak with them or not. Then I said yes and we bumped Z along the way. So she said...
Or:
Last night, we went clubbing but for some reason I didn't enjoy it because some inconsiderate...so I was sarcastic to everyone...C, my best friend tried to cheer me up...told him the party sucks, my gf could not come down...
The previous 2 examples aren't really blogging. It's just narrating your life story. Personally, I cannot stand reading these kind of blogs. So what if you didn't like the party, or you are upset that your other half couldn't turn up, I couldn't care less. When I read blogs, I look for 'quality' posts, preferably with a touch of humour. Sure, I am interested in reading about your personal opinions and what you did the past few days, but not all the time, especially if 'I's are overused.
So, there are three golden rules when it come to good blogging. There are:
1. Don't write too much about yourself; Relate to everyone else
2. Be creative in expressing yourself; Be unorthodox
3. A touch of humour never hurts; Be humourous
Okay, so its my turn to make this post interesting. Rule #1: I am not going talk about myself, I am going to talk about a random person named Ah Meng.
'Today, Ah Meng woke up at 10am. He wanted to start his Intro to Micro assignment but instead played Starcraft II for an hour. By the time he open his book, Ah Meng's friend Ah Choong asked him out for lunch together. So Ah Meng procrastinated and decided to do his work later. By the time he got back from lunch, he realize it's late but instead of starting his work, he opened his blog and started updating. '
Epic Failure
Okay, let me try this again. Rule #2: Maybe now I do it dialog style (Be different).
Officious bystander: So Jeric how was your day?
Jeric: Okay, okay, I completed my assignments, subject to changes.
Officious bystander: Excellent. Anything else interesting happen today?
Jeric: Yeah, Jeremy told me he is flying back to Malaysia for the Sime Darby scholarship interview.
Officious bystander: Didn't you apply for the scholarship too?
Jeric: Yeah I did. But I didn't get any email saying I got shortlisted for the interview.
Officious bystander: Are you implying ad hoc that you are disappointed not to get shortlisted?
Epic failure, again
Note: The blogger would like to disclaim any liability related to his efforts in making his post more interesting. The blogger explicitly states that he is inexperienced in making things interesting, and he is not liable for any injury or mental harm caused to the reader by reading this post.
Okay, seriously, Jeremy is going back to Malaysia for his interview, and I didn't receive any mail telling me whether I got shortlisted or not. *Sigh* I quote, 'when one door closes, a bigger and better door opens.' So, it's not the end.
For the first time as long as I can remember, I will support Liverpool tonight!! Yes, I am not joking, I want Liverpool to beat Chelsea so that Manchester United can claim top spot and be champions to at least end a bad season on a high. Hehe.
Anyway, right now I am looking for a cheaper accommodation in Melbourne as my lease ends on 2 August. I got a few options, and I am still weighing them. It really depends on the circumstances. Worse come to worse, I will just make university's library my 'room'.
Rule #3: Okay, to make this post more humourous, I will attached the photo below. Don't get the photo? Here's a tip, look at the 'stairs' closely.
