Poems

There are three lessons I would write,
Three words, as with a burning pen,
In tracings of eternal light,
Upon the hearts of men.

Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put off the shadow from thy brow:
No night but hath its morn.

Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven-
The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth-
Know this: God rules the host of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.

Have Love. Not love alone for one,
But man, as man thy brother call;
And scatter, like a circling sun,
Thy charities on all

-Friedrich von Schilller

Summarizes values that are too fast fading in our modern societies (and indeed, even within ourselves).

Tujuan Ber-blog

I once wrote an essay on web-logging aka blogs. Not for any class/ assignment, just cause I needed to objectively analyze blogs; especially concerning their purpose and influence. What with bloggers being hauled to ISA and dragged into courts it seem only pertinent that I educate myself.

Recently, as is evident, I decided to create a blog. Here I am stating my reasons for doing so. Not so much for the reading public, but more as a reminder for myself. They are:
1) To enable me to voice out productive criticism in the comment box of other bloggers
2) To put forth a worthwhile issue in which I would value feedback from others

p/s- I once read somewhere that a blog is not a diary but a medium for discussion. I am a staunch supporter of this.

Bebas

Aku suka baca blog orang.
Benci bila orang tak benarkan 'anonymous' comments.
Ha.
Aku dah buat blog sendiri.
Sekarang aku boleh komen dengan lebih bebas.

Intro

Have been writing for awhile.
Privately.
Finally succumb to writing a blog.
Why?
