to blog or not to blog...

that is the question.

well, apparently i've already answered it, as this is my first blog post. however, i do not know:
(a) how long this blog will last... sustainability?
(b) how often i will update it, if i do indeed begin blogging
(c) who, if anyone, except me that is, would read it
(d) what to write inside it

i suppose in answer to (d), it would be mostly to tell about my work in SU so that readers (if there are any) can pray for me, especially as my so-called prayer newsletter has been dead and unsent since the beginning of 2007. and also to just jot down any interesting happenings or thoughts i might experience, which i think will be few and far between (my life's not that interesting...heheh). as for (a), (b) and (c), only time will tell...

well, if (d) is what i'm going to do, i might as well start off by saying that i've just had two scf camps over the past 2 weekends... the first one, bukit mewah scf camp, was at the methodist centre in port dickson and will forever be remembered as the camp where i lost my wedding ring. my own stupid fault, for wearing it into the sea. anyway, it wasn't a total loss as the campers could watch my wife and i combing the beach for it over the next day and a half. so i ended up making it into a sort of parable, where i told them that they were far more precious to God than my ring was to me; and if i searched like that for my ring, just imagine how God's searching for them, and how would they respond to Him?

the second one, sri permata scf camp, was at seminari teoloji malaysia in seremban. it was a good camp. the difference between the culture of this cf group and the previous one was interesting. they were noisier, prone to making fun of each other's lame jokes by going 'ha ha ha' in unison, and just... different. maybe it's a pj thing? anyway i stayed up too late on the last night and am paying for it now with a chesty cough. so that's my first prayer request right there: please pray for a speedy recovery. it's no fun being sick. =)

right. that's pretty long already. i will now proceed to ignore the existence of this poor, newborn blog until the urge to post re-emerges. hopefully sometime this century.

p.s. if u happen to read this, do leave a comment. this is so that:
1. i know that there are actually people who read this stuff
2. i can interact with you
3. you can ask questions or whatever
4. you can make suggestions
re no. 4, this blogging thing is totally new to me (in spite of the fact that a certain member of my family is somthing of a celebrity in the blogosphere) so feel free to suggest improvements. which i might try if they aren't too difficult to implement. thanks, all my presently-imaginary-because-no-one-has-read-this-yet readers! =)

p.p.s this post was copied wholesale from http://siehjin.blogs.friendster.com/hullo_sup_p/2007/06/to_blog_or_not_.html at suggestions from 3 out of 4 (that's 75%) of the no-longer-imaginary-readers of that blog.

p.p.p.s sooner or later, either this blog, that blog, or both will die. let's see what happens. =)
