My Weblog First Birthday ...

How time flies... without realising, my blog is one-year-old already - Celebrating the 1st Birthday on 25 April 2006. This is my 386th posts.. I didn't realise I have written so many posts in the past one year. I started blogging end of April last year after some chit chat sessions with friends on yahoo messenger. (Just for fun initially) but somehow it now becomes a past time favourite.

My first blog was another blog - chen99.blogspot.com, started on 24 April 2005.. I told my friend about that after I posted the 1st post on that blog while we were chatting on yahoo messenger. He asked me "How come u put "chen99"? 99 years old ah? So old liao..". Hahha, I ponder about that for a while and then changed my blog to another domain name the next day, and finally chen22.blogspot.com was born on 25 April 2005.. Nope, I'm not 22 years old. This figure 22 has a special meaning to me. U don't have to guess cos u won't be able to guess the real meaning behind it. So far, I only told one blogger how that figure 22 come about, and what is the meaning behind it. You know who you are, right? Keep that to yourself, thanks ;)

At first, I wrote some craps and light topics in my weblog. I didn't include in any pictures or photos in the first two months. But, since a picture means a thousand word, and as time goes, I included in more and more photos in each post.

I started reading weblogs ways back in 2003 but never thought (plus lazy as well) of starting one.. Most of the time, I was just a "silent" reader. Some of the blogs that I read initially are CooknEngr and Fish Fish's blogs. I still remember going to CooknEngr's new house in Kuching during Chinese New Year in 2004. He invited me over for tiramisu cake (yeah!). The tiramisu cake was superb. Met Fish Fish for the first time over there. I still remember Fish Fish asking me whether I have a blog or not. My answer at that time was.. Nope. Things changed with time......

Throughout these period of time, I get to know quite a number of friends from weblogs. You know who you are as well.. Too many names for me to mention here :)

Any birthday cake for this special occasion? Of course...
(Btw, my old blog chen99.blogspot.com is still around..coated with dust and cobwebs... there's only one post inside there. And that was my initial template)
