I'm getting out of here, for good.

But before anyone starts crying and all, here's where i'll be relocating to:

Afterwords

My very first diary post here was on 30th Dec 1999. Till now it's been what.. 6 years. Okie so I cheated a little, 30th dec was the 2nd last day of the year, but still it has been going on well into the 6th year.

In those days, the word 'blog' was unheard of. To those smartasses who cringe upon hearing theirs being called an 'online diary', well here's a finger up to you. Back then, an online diary it was called, and a diary it was that I noted down the past quarter of my life.

Here's where I wrote proof of my existence, incidents of my life, some misadventures in love and miscellaneous rants and writings on those whimsical days.

Many friends have joined me here on diaryland but sadly most have fallen out soon after. To those who are still alive here or elsewhere, I do hope it won't stop. Prying into lives of people whom I know makes good readings on many a boring nights.

I've kept faith with this diary for so long, because I do enjoy writing. I find solace in penning or typing my thoughts. And as many can attest, it does help in easing through those difficult periods. There's also of course the undeniable thrill of knowing that someone out there are reading about me, this miserable sod.

I've been thinking about life quite a bit recently, especially after my ex-gf got diagnosed with cancer at the age of 24, though I think she'll be alrite and get through it. A normal life span isn't really that long a period either. Can you imagine a world without you inside?

It scares me. Life is something we should cherish and celebrate about. We arrive and depart from this world with nothing on our back. We leave with us love and memories from the decades over.

The late Douglas Adams, from his posthumous book, The Salmon Of Doubt, said: "Money is an artificial entity. It doesn't exist." It's not from the natural world, just something that man created to enhance or worsen life. It's something that's too deeply entrenched in human culture to ignore, and though money is an important aspect of our life today, it seems to me that we're too often overly engrossed with this artificial idol. Earn it, save some, but live a life too. At the end of the day, the best money can do for you, is to get a nice looking coffin. Which will then be burnt anyway.

Why am i ranting about all these? I'm not quite sure why either. Just something that had found its way into my head. And that's the beauty of this diary.. I can just dump it all here. And to be reflected upon with fond memories in the future.

And so I've decided to move, I've already moved actually, just that I felt I ought to bade a proper farewell, to another machine in blogspot, coz the workings there are pretty decent to be honest, and I can put some photos up as well.

Cheers to my new 'online-diary', and leave me comments plenty. I like comments. It makes me feel important and smug. And i'll reply so you'll feel the same too. But i'll still pop by here from time to time to visit this old friend, and for, oh memories' sake.

So, goodbye diaryland.
