Looking back...
Not the first time I thought of this as I flip through my old diary -- to backdate and put everything on the blog. As I read the autobiographies or diaries (published books) of others and learnt lessons from their lives, I am reminded that I too will become a fullstop in history one day. Who knows what God has made of my life that another may see and learn something from my mistakes or blessings that I have received from God and the people I have encountered?
It will be a massive project though -- at least while I am still working full-time and managing our home. No hurry anyway...since I am only writing for myself. I know I might sound weird or aloof to some -- "why blog if you didn't mean for others to read?"
Well, I don't mind writing out my thoughts since I am one who speaks my mind anyway (I've improved to only do that when I'm asked -- so ask for my opinion only if you want to hear it and can bear with it, i.e. if I speak the truth that hurts and I definitely wouldn't want it to mean this way ;p)
My only concern is that friends who know me, but not well enough might be distressed by certain views I have; which is a problem I've had since childhood. I don't agree or disagree with most people, but I will only stick to my belief (if I have been convinced) and decision (after enough research and prayer). Thank God for teaching me to be like that, so that I may be blessed with friends' goodwilled advices, yet rely on God's direction for ultimate decisions.

Hi Geraldine,
Glad you open your blog for feedback. :) It can be interesting to hear what others think.
BUT, always, rememeber, we can't control others but we can only control ourselves.
So don't be too overwhelmingly bothered by others.
it's between ONESELF and GOD, ultimately. :)
