Annoying Friendster Trends

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

This is a great blogpost I taken from KennySia, one of the most famous blogger in Malaysia.
Read it here(http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2005/02/annoying_friend.php).

All the points stated are HELL DAMN TRUE!!!

But luckily for me, I did not encounter such problem, though I do get annoyed by certain n00bs that uses eye-sore template, or WrItInG lIkE tHiS, wHiCh SuCkS bIg TiMe!!

I quote these from the link above:

Can you understand? For tech-guys, it is IRRITATING!!

Because of these reasons, I shall not accept any testimonials that is ‘computer-generated’(not being typed by a human being) from now on.
I know I dont have much testimonials, but every testimonials mean alot for me, for getting to know how others’ opinion on myself.

Friendster is a good web service, but was abused by bunch of N00BS, sigh…..

Late night thread - Blogging style

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

This time, I’ll talk about my blogging style, as an introduction before I really kicks in to start blogging on the topic.

As you can see, I like to talk alot of rubbish in blog which ordinary peoples dislike. Why? Because it’s too long and it’s kinda meaningless. But it does mean something for me.

Excuse me, but I’m proud to say that I might be one of the most Internet-literated guy in my school, along few of my friends(sadly, there’s only 4 or 5 of us).
We all excel in different sectors of the cyberworld. I think myself is good in surfing the net check for news, infos, facts, etc. I’m not good in coding(simple HTML is ok) & graphic design(I’m bad in Arts).

Compare to other blogs in Friendster, I took seriously in blogging. Inspires by other bloggers, I’ve tried to blog open-minded, ready to accept any kind of comments or critics. I’ve learnt A LOT through blogging.

Not only blogging all by myself, I read alot of blogs too. Thanks to the RSS feed, I’m able to read lots of blogs in a short period of time. Within Malaysian bloggers, they’ve many blogging styles and technique for them to attract readers, and earn money through advertistment services.

I like Malaysian bloggers because what they says, usually applies or occurs in my life too. There’s joking blogs, and there is food review blogs, and many more!! It’ll took me some time if I want to introduce those blogs one by one.
 
Anyway, due to the influence of other bloggers, I’ve changed my blogging from self-oriented diary blog, to ideas and thoughts blogging(like this post). Since I want to preserve different styles of blogging, I decided to split up my blogs with different services(Blogger, WordPress, Friendster’s TypePad).
I can actually blog all in one, but I prefer split different images of my blog.

To be honest, after certain issues happen within myself, my first diary-blog become not so active as before. I used to post daily lifes, but then I prefer blog a summary for few days, or even weeks.
I couldnt mantain my blog well, but once I’ve switch to different blogging platform, I gain new experience and tried to improve my previous blogs better, by the content or the template(design).

The way I blog now, is quite formal, compare to other blogs in Friendster. I believe there’s good blogs in Friendster too, just I didnt take notice of it. Like I said, I took blogging seriously, so I talk about facts more than joking or fooling around. Maybe some dislike this way of blogging because of long paragraphs, but certainly there IS still people who’re interested.

Perhaps…. writting this blog profiles my alter ego, for getting attention from friends(wink at girls)? I dunno, but maybe that’s true. In real life, I’m not so talkative, but I’m friendly towards those I knew quite well.

My blogs,

Rhapsody of CLF (Blogger)
Concerto of CLF (WordPress)

Figure out yourself what’s the differences of these blogs, different blogs gave different feeling I guess.

Blog’s title

Monday, November 28th, 2005

Err, right now I’m feeling something isnt right about this blog’s title. Bond of CLF? I’m doubtful with my own thoughts, I dont really think that the word "Bond" is quite suitable to make as the title.

When I think about this, I previously named my blogs Rhapsody and Concerto, which are somehow related to musical forms. Bond is totally unrelated to the previous names.

So, I decided to change the title, but I’ve no idea what should I change.
Although I’ve got useful infos from Wikipedia’s article, but I want the title somehow related to friends, but I think it’s kidna awkward.

Forgive me for my pathetic musical knowledge, I’m just trying to get a name that suits my blog, and my interest. Upon choosing the titles, I decided the title.

Symphonia of CLF

Think it’s funny? Sucks? Well I guess so…. blogging at this time(2.50am) are making my mind react below my normal reputation. Anyway, Symphonia this word was actually originated from ‘Symphony’.
Well, at least by now it’s somehow related to the previous blogs, all are connected by the terms of music.

Talk about symphony, my favourite will be……. err…. I dont think I’ve any favourite symphonies, but I do like few symphonies, like Beethoven’s 5th Symphony and Dvorak’s New World Symphony(played by Maksim).

I think I’ve get all these out of the topic, this blog is meant to blog about my friends, but without a proper settings of the blog, it’ll be difficult for me to continue writting and editing once everything is done….
I guess after the next blog about my point of view about weblogs, I shall start blogging on the main topic.

Friendster Blog

Saturday, November 26th, 2005

Some time ago, I started this Friendster blog. It is just a simple blogging tool by that time, and I’ve not much interest to try it.
But now, I think I can make good use of this Friendster blog.

Previously I’ve introduced my blogs(Rhapsody & Concerto), these 2 blogs serves different purpose.
Rhapsody is about my daily life, while Concerto is about my ideas and thoughts.
So, what will it be with this blog ‘eh?

I decided to dedicate this blog for my friends. I will blog anything regarding friends, or so. This post is just a warm-up post for more blogpost to come!!

By the way, I shall name this blog, Bond of CLF, which means the bond of my friendship with my friends. "Friendship Forever" is pretty lame, and it’s too common in Friendster already. I’m fed up when I see this phrase.

P/S: Bond is actually a classical-crossover band I like. They play string instruments(violin etc) and their music rocks!!
