Cakap cakap...my blog

Friends I am trying to get some perspective as to what is happening to my blog. In the first place I must tell you all that I only became familiar with this ‘blog’ thing late last year. To my amazement and wonder I realized that with youtube and the blog sites I was able to keep track of what is happening in Malaysia in ‘real time’. That ‘real time’ is another new term for me. The last time I heard it mention was during a Harrison Ford film where the Americans were tracking their Special Forces in the desert who were out hunting Arab terrorists. 

So let us recap. You tube, blogs and ‘real time’ – and I was on top of everything happening in Malaysia – KL mostly. So much so that at times I could tell my cousins in KL what was happening before they even knew about it. The more I knew the more disillusioned I became with the way UMNO was doing things.

 

The first turning point was probably the Lingam ‘correct correct correct’ case. I can describe the whole thing in one sentence. Looks like a cover-up, it is a cover-up – then cover it all up! Another was the appointment of the CJ. – this guy married without asking his first wife’s permission to do so and did it in an illegal ceremony across the border – and now he is the CJ? Come on man – do they take us for idiots?

 

And so it went on and on and on until I told myself - write! So we now come to the present. My statistics tells me that an average of 1000 people read some of what I write everyday. I know this is nothing compared to the other more established blog – but it is something that I have to come to terms with. As I told Jack I am totally disconnected with those that read what I write because I am so far away from everything. I do not discuss what I write with anybody here neither do I get any indications of the right or wrong of what I write.

 

But I have started to get feedbacks from some of you from the comment left on the blogs – your footprints after you have visited steadyaku47. Most of it good but some did hit me where it hurts most – right in my stomach!

 

What I trying to say is this. A blog has got to be alive to be interesting and more important I need those feedbacks to keep this blog alive. I read what I can get on the net about Malaysia and what I read keeps me motivated – but I feel that I have yet to connect with those that read what I write. To those that have taken the trouble to comment –thank you. To those that have not – please do continue to read – but do write to give me some sense of direction as to where I should be heading or where you want me to head.
