Going back to 2004, I was a Form 7 student. As an AL candidate, there should be no leisure time. Only one thing I can do was studying. When assignments, past papers and mocks came close together, escape was the only way to me. Hea was the next step. Turning on the PC was the second step. Once Windows started up, forum, ICQ and Dos games were the entertainment to kill my time. Perhaps I was filled with guilt so I started to find something to redeem my fault. Maybe primary school teachers always encourage students to write diaries. I opened a Xanga account and then started to type my first entry. That was the beginning of my web log.
Recently, yes recently, i just found the archive page of my Xanga. Reviewing those entries year by year, I found the changes of my writing style as well as myself. Passion is always in plenty at the earliest. I wrote the entries with lots of expression and described my life in great detail. I also decorated the site with animated banner, media player, flash counter and so on. Ha, I just tried to put everything in look and feel. Not only a diary, Xanga is also a place for me to promote my super stars Bergkamp and BoA.
When somebody entered my Xanga and somebody left my Xanga, things changed very much. I started to realize that the world is huge and full of people. Xanga became a place for me to express my emotion and share my thoughts. Besides, there became my language training center. My colloquial writing has been becoming written language even in English. It’s unbelievable that I’ve been using English for two years since Special English Day. However, Chinese is always the easiest way to express myself. That’s why there was a Chinese entry monthly.
Xanga is definitely a part of my life. I’ve been using it for six years. Because of Xanga, I know how silly I was. Because of Xanga, I also know how blessed I was. Thx god. I can read and write. I truly wish I can write more positive entries and share my witness of god in the furture, yet I will most likely move to WordPress. Nevertheless, it’s not the time to say good bye to Xanga, I just wanna write an entry for the 6th Ann. of B Style.
