I Created A Blog! Can't Believe It!

By MA FOONG MEI

Like what I've mentioned above, I'm having difficulty accepting the fact that I've finally written a post. Well, it shouldn't come as a surprise considering the fact that I've got the habit of disclosing my feeling, thoughts and whereabouts. My reason of writing this though is as simple as.....dislodging? Perhaps. Just in case you are wondering, what the hell am I doing here being in the midst of people who are overwhelmingly powerful when it comes to writing. (You know I know who I am talking about. Don’t look at others, you are the one I am talking about) LOL. That’s why I really should care about what I can do to contribute a little but not much to the blog.

First of all, talking of my needs. Not the sexual or physical one, mind you. Contrary, it is about my role as a journalism student. We seemed like the special flock who have been labelled as having good writing skills, and we ought to be writing frequently to practice our skills and whatnot. Honestly, never would I thought of having my own byline as I don't think I'm a good enough writer. Therefore, creating a blog post is so not me. Good thing is, I'll change my mindset and start to write for the sake of joining this special flock. Besides, I want to contribute and actively expand Almost Journalist as well as to let more people know our spirit and intention in changing the traditional journalism platform.

Secondly, I was required to have a blog as the establishment of Almost Journalist only become effective for me once I get a personal blog, urhhh. Plus, I need to receive an invitation from our respective and beloved admin to write in Almost Journalist. I can’t believe he really meant it when he proposed the idea of having a shared blog among the undergrad journalists, yea, pointed at us. Ultimately, He made it, I support, and same thing goes to the other outstanding contributors.

But, I am grateful to those who have encouraged me to create a blog. Especially, the admin of Almost Journalist who set up a platform like this whice has motivated me to have a blog. Undeniably, he always have the “positive force” on others especially people who claimed to be a masochist like me. For this statement, those who close with me you will understand where this masochist wording did came from. At last, please allow me to laugh out loud. (LOL)
