Humbled

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been visiting my blog. I would also like to take this opportunity to say that I will be taking a break from writing, for a short while.

It happened like this. I was just mucking around on the internet when I found a link to a blog that critiqued the way the Straits Times censored the exchange between MM Lee and NUS undergraduate Jamie Han. From there I followed a link that led to this guy who has a blog dedicated to issues revolving around Singapore, from the way NS is useless and should be made better, to the way we should encourage the young to shake off their political apathy.

The links went on. I had stumbled onto a blog-ring, maintained by some of the brightest minds at NUS.

They discussed how the administration of NUS could be better managed. They argued about national policies across their blogs, challenging each other on so many different levels. They talked about the tsunami, and how different countries have capitalized on the situation. The list goes on.

I am humbled. A blog's such a powerful tool, such a far-reaching platform, and yet I've been abusing it, using my blog to remind people again and again that I am beautiful.

Going to sort things out in my head.

BRB.

Hi~

I just happened to chance upon your blog. Could I ask for the blog websites of those NUS undergraduates you mentioned?

Thanks in advance~
