My very first attempt...

Hello blogging world! Bye-bye past...
I realise at some juncture in my life, I have to move on with time as it sails on its course, but nevertheless, the bittersweet memories will remain embedded in my body and soul.
Now the big question: Board the ship and have a sense of belonging or be stranded in open waters feeling senseless and lost? Take a pick?
Answer: I choose the former, after much deliberation though... I will cherish the experiences I had all along and dwell into the new world from now.
Gone were the days when we used landlines, books and typewriters to communicate and share our 2 cents worth. Come are the days when technology becomes the master and talks of the Freemasonry exerting control over politics, our daily lives and interesting enough - the rumour of the Order out to sabotage the internet world which is fast becoming a threat to mankind and their intent to form the NEW WORLD ORDER! Scary... What next? What will be the new obsession of mankind then? I dread to even wonder...
But yes, I choose to ride this journey and see where and which hole it will bring me to...
I am Allen J. P. Stanley, an Indian ethnic born at a small town in Penang, Malaysia and now after an eventful 30 over years, work as a sub editor in The Malay Mail - lapping every single seconds left of the next 30 years to come (If I can live that long ;-b)...
I figure we should enjoy life rather than bitch about it. Shit happens but make the best out of it, be yourself, don't have any grudges (but you can have a cooling off period though - Lols!!!) if they don't like you and be happy always! Yes, always THINK POSITIVE!
I like this quote and would like to share it with you:
Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success. - Dale Carnegie -
What did that quote have to do with anything I'm saying? Well, success for me is very general my friends... It could mean monetary or even knowledge or even a greater understanding of life... That is what this blog will be about... The nature of life and to make it a success by our own personal definition...
Why suddenly the blog and not Facebook or others??? Good question...
I suppose I needed somewhere I could communicate with you guys and gals to voice out concerns, share ideas and experiences, and also the pains and joys in one's life without barriers. Why not Facebook? I try to keep Facebook as personal as possible - the sense of privacy is absolutely ridiculous in that website although there is some control (minimal I must say) but as I said, I have already been drawn deep into it... So, I looked for alternatives... :-)
I have no idea where this blog is gonna bring me but one thing is for certain - it will be an eye opener for me at least (If only I knew what that meant - hahaha...).
I hope whoever reads my blog will give your 3 cents worth (It will be worth more than mine if not equal at least :-p ).
Getting feedback from all of you would enlighten me to a certain extent rather than just me perceiving and assuming from a personal point of view.
Honestly, I believe the more sharing there is around in this world equals to a better human race. Sounds corny but there is still apart of me which wants that bit to be true...
I am trying to do my part and hope by God all of us remain sane by the time we are done.
I accept positive and negative feedbacks on my blog with the intention to progress and humbly request opinions of others. So please do not hesitate to do so...
I hereby declare http://allenjpstanley.blogspot.com officially launched... ;-b What drama...???

  4. Thanks for the support all! Hope you can share this with your friends too! Also, please do not forget to click on the 'FOLLOW' icon on the top right hand of the blog site. Thanks again!

    justyoga & Señor Jay: I posted it on Facebook to build awareness of my blog among my close friends. Well, to elaborate further on the Facebook personal bit - I can't practise this effectively on Facebook as I would then have to loosen my security settings for the general public to access, hence, the privacy issue (private photos, postings etc.). I hope for my blog to reach all likes, not necessarily only friends and be able to express independently without being too professional. Hope that clarifies. :-)
