Perhaps I should really say reborn, resurrected or something closer to that sense. Cause I really did kind of killed off the blog last time when I deleted the Simply Rojak I used to have, hosted on Typepad.
But in the digital world there is nothing stopping me from re-creating a new one - this time hosting it for free on Blogger. I wish I could retrieve the old entries, which I deleted from Typepad, cause I do remember writing some really good stuff - at least to me it was kind of good ;) and also it has some sort of memorable value...for myself of course.
Anyway, if one does a search on Google, one would find that Simply Rojak has already been created by another blogger - though it seems that it's not maintained anymore. And so I could only use the blog address simply-rojak.blogspot.com, instead of the much preferred simplyrojak.blogspot.com. Oh well, we can't have everything, right?
I have been away from the blogging scene for...what? 3 years? Maybe longer. But while being away means not blogging, it certainly doesn't mean that I stopped reading blogs at all. I still keep in touch with the local blogging scene and I can see that some of the more popular ones are still around.
Good thing is, there are a bunch of new ones too. And not forgetting to mention that there are a whole host of new socio-political blogs - which compared to a few years ago, readers were really limited to a few blogs like Jeffooi.com and perhaps SuaraMalaysia.com. Anyone still remember the latter one? I used to comment a lot in there...haha I wrote quite a lot of current affairs stuff on Simply Rojak last time too.
Keeping with the title, this blog will maintain it's "theme" of being "rojak", i.e. its entries will be on whatever and about whoever - like the description says, life is about a mixture of many and different things. I hope whoever is reading this, have a pleasant read and do leave a comment.
