I had a long hard look at my archives about a week ago, and I was kinda suprised by how much it has changed since I started this weblog some 6 years ago. Sure, I'm may still be using the same ol banner, the same ol template... but reading entries from 2003 felt totally alien from the stuff I post today.

I could still remember the day I started this site. It was a time when my mind was seriously clouded with melancholy, and I needed a place to vent. So when I saw Batu Maung's weblog on TBlog (which was literature gold, I kid u not...), I decided to set up one myself. And that gave birth to Memoirs of a Blur Sotong. During that period of time, most entries were mainly emo-bapuk stuff... nonsensical ramblings which just flowed, from the mind to the keyboard. It was therapeutic.

A year down the road, I caught the lifestyle bug while mixing with the MYPDACAFE guys. And so I tried leaning towards gadget and lifestyle reviews. Unfortunately, I soon realized that this was an expensive way to add site content, so I abandoned the idea. But those were the days, especially the MTB adventures we had together.

I then tried to change my site into a food review blog. It went fairly well and I actually enjoyed writing about gastronomical delights. However, later down the road, I started feeling that it was ridiculous to snap photos of my lunch or dinner everytime I ate out. It kinda killed the culinary enjoyment/moment and eventually I stopped writing about these. I then briefly tried photography, but gave that up as well, coz I realize my photos suck.

2 years back, I started dabbling in the automotive world, both 2 and 4 wheels. I spent quite a bit on both my car and bike, and I documented the modification journey, from conception to the end result. Too bad, this was yet another pricey indulgement which could not be sustained (due to me having other priorities). My future plans required obscene amounts of money, and the planned mods were not exactly JPJ friendly, so my automotive obsession died as well. But I'm glad one of the guys in my circle of friends managed to take the plunge and did what I didn't managed to do; with mighty heavy chest thumping results. You rawk.

The DIY and art section are the ones which I still enjoy very much despite the lack of entries. I try to keep these alive, as these are some of the few things which still help stimulate my mind, and prevent myself from sinking into the boredom which comes from work and daily life.

Currently, the most active section on my blog is the Gunpla and Anime category. I caught the bug last year, and it still seems to be going strong. But I'm pretty sure it will die eventually as well, since this is yet another rather pricey and labour intensive hobby. But I'm enjoying it will it's still fresh.

Looking 2 years down the road, who knows if this site is still going to be active. If it is, I have absolutely no clue what it's going to look like... nor how the contents are going to change. Hopefully it will still be around, as this is the only written record I have of my life... and I'm kinda proud of it...  ;)
