What is a Blog?

What is a Blog? Why did I start this account? Why am I writing this when I really should be utilising my office resources for something more constructive; such as coming up with an excellent PhD research for the good of mankind, win a Nobel prize and charge a million quid per guest lecture for any organisation with a lazy CEO who is keen enough to show that he is making best use of stakeholder reserves.

I’ll come out with it. I’m trying to impress a girl. My talent is with the written word, which with a bit of luck, may offset all other shortcomings of attributes to impress someone. In order to place quirky comments and smart remarks in response for her daily postings, I have to start an account myself. Thus here I am, sitting in my office which is getting increasingly warm due to the afternoon sun, and blabbering away without a thought as to what I should be writing here.

Perhaps, this is a window to my express my political view, of how my country is really a monarchy disguised under the label of a democratic society. Or perhaps to vent my frustration over B-grade movies that pains me over the opportunity cost of $11. Current affairs perhaps, such as Straits Times today which boasts our new SAF unit from 3SIR that specialises in Urban Warfare. I was in stitches to see the picture of a fully-geared soldier in Green camouflage uniform. Unless urban warfare means skirmish in Bishan Park, infantry intelligence should take a tip from Counter-Strike that Grey goes better with urban landscape.

Well, herez to the new beginning of blogs, so till later....... later.
