Between the Lines

"Bloggers aren't storywritters. Bloggers are partisans, ranters, linkers. They expose their entire plot in their first sentence." -WP

Well, I cannot deny the truth behind the paragraph above. Narrative writing was never the best aspect of my writing. In fact, I do believe that my blog posts had lost their objectiveness that I learnt through writing countless factual essays. But then again, this goes against my initial aim of writing this blog which is to improve my academic writing skills.

With nothing good to do, I resort to video gaming everyday, in hope that I would muster little inspiration to complete my pending art projects.

I am glad that I befriended many chatty friends. Phang, for instance, have lots of story to tell of whenever we meet up. Being an introvert like me, vocabulary and language expression are the main obstacle to satisfying conversations. In other word, I just couldn't find the exact words to express the thoughts that I had been holding on. As a result, I tend to take the role of the listener, regardless of how unpleasant it is.

I hate myself for being timid. But I hated myself even more for being so self-centered.
