Greetings, (Btw, the pic has nothing to do with what i’m writing about, but i like Mahoro And Tenma, so there)
This will be my first coherent post here. As I’m still learning this blogging thingy, hence much stuff is still unsorted, for which I’m sorry of. But as thing blog rolls on, hopefully I’ll be able to improve the looks and content of this blog (as it were). Well, for now I will muse on why I’m starting this blog.
I was born in Malaysia before my mum went to work in New Zealand and Australia. Hence, I preferred to use English rather than my native tongue (Malay). After my mum finish her tenure there, I came back to Malaysia. Manage to enrol myself in college, and I began to revert back using my mother tongue. I began to neglect the use of English, either by writing or speaking. After awhile, university didn’t turn out to be such a hot idea after all. Let just say everything was not rosy and plain sailing at all. I was feeling real low. And I needed to do something to alleviate this depression that I have. So I decided to do something to occupy my mind and help me practise whatever speck of English language that I still have in my brain.
Then suddenly a troubling thought hits me. What the heck I’m going to write about? At first I have no idea whatsoever. I was stumped. Then I’ve decided to write stuff I know best. I love watching anime. I like looking (and buying) Japanese figurine. I read manga. And I reckon macross is the greatest show ever shown on earth (sounds corny but true). Then one day my friend told me that I’m such an otaku. And then there I was what the heck is an otaku? So I look up at wikipedia to check out what this otaku stuff is all bouts. After reading that entry, maybe some part of me can be considered as otaku (hence the title of my blog). So I decided to write stuff that I find interesting, like the anime I’m currently watching, or maybe about the pursuit of my next buying spree of anime related merchandise. But not all stuff will be otaku related. Maybe I’ll talk bout where I live at, maybe about Malaysia. Or bout that rugby match I watch recently.
So well, yeah, that’s my reason why I’m writing this blog. True, there is vastly better blog on the topic I’ll well be writing about out there. I totally acknowledge that. But hopefully I’ll improve and maybe, just maybe all you out there will like the stuff I’ve put in here. Well, till next time, cheers.
