It's Goodbye for now
Well, well, well, the day has finally arrived to officially bid farewell to my blog. My English teacher announced that this week's blog entry would be the last she's asking for since the commencement of this weekly journal the beginning of this year. Yes, I celebrated like any other lazy people who most of the time found it a chore to sit down and squeeze in our entry at the very last moment before the clock strikes at 12 am on Monday. It's confession time. I complain a lot having to write in this blog every week, I struggle to produce a write-up on intriguing topics or so I thought, it gives me shivers if it's already late on Sunday and I haven't fulfilled this homework, this bombards me and I wished that my teacher hadn't come up with this out-of-the-box yet demanding idea. But I'm happy to say that I've tried my hardest to get this work done weekly with the exception of past two weeks'. I can honestly say that I never once thought it was a silly idea, asking students to write a thing or two in their private space and the sky as the limit. For the first time I forced myself to think and write about interesting and exciting things in my life as well as to challenge myself to give my input on various everyday issues. Believe it or not, I was actually excited in the beginning at the thought of writing in my blog but it kind of faded towards the end when laziness surmounted. At times during the night before I close my eyes to sleep, I would "brainstorm" about my topic for that week and sometimes even at random places, which I won't specify, I got my source of inspiration. Though I might have a certain topic to write about, I would deliberate whether I've got the vocabulary strength and such to translate into words and if it's thought provoking or appealing to my readers. That was the beginning. Midway, I allowed myself to be more informal and just writing about stuff that happened that day. When approaching the season of exams, you can certainly notice a trend on my short and jejune entry. Well, enough said, I've experienced the ups and downs of it. With all sincerity, I wish to thank my english teacher, Puan Monica for bestowing this task to me for I've got only benefits. Through this weekly journal, I realised that my standard of english is down under the rocks and hence, I believe this has given me the grounds to improve. Thank you.
