I get pretty uncomfortable whenever I don't write for too long, because this blog was never intended to be one of those shortlived ones that will eventually fall into oblivion when the author loses his momentarily aroused interest in blogging, or that he hasn't the time to keep it alive anymore. I don't like to use the lack of time as an excuse for not blogging because blogging isn't that time-consuming at all but sometimes, I'm guilty as charged too. And then there are times when I have many things to say, feel emphatically like saying, but have to grudgingly not say because they are sensitive and possibly offensive and I don't want to risk the unintended consequences of these things getting spilled over into the public domain. It's somewhat silly I know, but it's always been one of those rules that I've followed as a blogger that I do not put up my whole life on display here, but only things which I can live with people knowing - be they friends, random google users or potential stalkers. So that about sums up why I haven't been blogging these two weeks.

It's back to school again in three days and suddenly, the end of holidays doesn't seem to be such a depressing prospect anymore. Although I'm not as excited as when I was a freshman, I am positively looking forward to going back to my own turf. But before I get there, there are so many books that I ought to have been chewing on this summer. Time to speed up the reading.
