Veteran and Noob Bloggers
Published by simon on February 16, 2006OK, I’m bored and restless. And too un-motivated to do anything productive.
These days, there are literally dozens of new Malaysian blogs appearing everyday. I think the turning point was during the PPS 2nd anniversary, and all the publicity in the papers, and then the floodgates open. Browsing through our local blog portals, i can see lots of new faces (well, not their faces, literally), its a little difficult to sift through so many. But more on the noob pingers later.
Right. My blog turned one just a few days before the Chinese New Year, but there was no specific post on it. I’m kinda reminded of some of the old school bloggers that were around when i started this thing about a year ago. Let me rack my memory a little bit to list down some that i can remember:
J’ded by Venus – slowed down a bit since going to uni. Reading her in recent months always give me this feeling that she’s not really saying what’s on her mind, you know the feeling? But anyway. She’s one blogger that likes to post without titles.
the Mudpond – stopped since November last year. No idea why.
jasonmumbles – food, food, food… mmm… still around.
TV Smith – His post is the one that finally convinced me to start my own (Blogging For Dungus) but he’s not posting as often as he used to. But i really love his dark humour. Remember the Hari Raya kongsi gelap post? or the driving test one…?
5xmom – oh, still there. Heck, even bigger and more often than before! Now with kick ass template some more!!
the good doctor – of course he’s still blogging. there’ll be a small demonstration outside the GH if he’s stopping…
frozenlily – munkit‘s prolly on a beach somewhere sipping diet coke and watching bikini babes. Even his old archives isn’t available.
viewtru – the mystery man shows no signs of slowing down, some more guest-starring in Mini blog. A lot of burning questions surround this guy – is he really a millionaire recluse? What does he look like? When is the 3-in-1 Nescafe tarik Kungfu Girl going to have a sequel?
buangmasa – also stopped. Explanation at the site.
rojaks – hah, bigger and better now. Some more got big PR5 button on his site…! So, if you’re looking for some serious theological discussion and socio-economic commentary, this is the place… 
belacans – another victim of busy work. Or so it seems… hmmm… Oi, post lah something, brader!
speaking of mini – yep, after a few template changes, she’s still blogging. I like her minimalist template, the current one.
mrkiasu – tutup kedai long time oredi.
A few more vets still in service that i can recall – reta, fashionasia, nsds3, sashi, eyeris, and all those good folks on the blogroll, umm, sorry if I forget to mention anyone’s name. Memory a bit rusty. And of course the famous people like kenny, suanie, lainie and the rest.
Right, enough about the veterans.
I need new, funny blogs to read. If you have one, or know one, let me know. Yep, just bring it on. More the merrier.
Hoho. My link is in your blog, traffic traffic. LOL.
Anyway, FrozenLily of MunKit.net is back.
Not 1, but 2 blogs somemore. Just that you need to seach around.
Oh, munkit.net is password protected one while the other is public accessible.
Wow, it’s been an incredible first year for ya, ain’t it? Here’s wishing you many many more blogging years, dude!
Hey! I also vetran okay! haha
Pouts that simon didn’t mention him….
i seen buaya b4 !!!
Aik you baru one year ka?
Glad to know about the influx of bloggers after PPS anni.
But I found it hard to find the time to read more other than the ones that have been listed in my favourite…*sigh*
bruder, been busy lar. but i read lotsa blogs coz i RSS (i.e. Really Simple Shit) on Firefox.
I am not a veteran and wants to be a noob forever. Noobs have more fun.
hie,simon
it was ‘miracle’ that i somehow wanted to drop by to see you 
and found my name here:)
(thank you for the honor)
it’s also been about a year since i’ve started blogging (:
i would have to agree with what u said about jaded. (can i sigh? *Sighs*)
anyhow, i hope i’d get in touch with ‘things’ again
Yes! Yes! I am a millionaire recluse! I am! I am!
well, there’s this newly updated blog called Bumi-Tengah at bumi-tengah.blogspot.com…
lalala…
i still remember simon from a year ago. still funny shit!
jason – eh? where is the public one?
sashi – thanks man…
nicktay – i say, dun pout la, i always visit the blogs on my blogroll one. i know, i know, got to update your url, haven’t got round to it yet…
wingz – really? ade pikcher ka?
mama23beas – your one also coming to 1 year also kan?
buaya69 – yeah lor, some more your last few post also getting shorter and shorter…
lilian – if you dun count your old website, then you’re a newbie… can count liddat or not?
jaded – ah, hope you feel better. always look forward to your posts.
eyeris – ya, ya, i heard of dat one, by some femes journalist summore…
viewtru – I KNEW IT!! I WAS RIGHT!
din – thanks man, more shit coming from here!
buangmasa… didn’t stop
Yeah what about me 0_o
Btw check out http://www.spymy.com for less noobs and more quality, it needs more members though I think to function better and be more accurate in promoting the good stories.
Ceh…eyeris pimping his own blog =P
So fast one year? Mine also a year adi. Blargh..and I’m begining to update less now. Hah
shaolintiger – yep, it needs more members. but that’s a problem most other local aggregators are facing.
decypher – ???
s-kay – yeah lor. even at hantubola also you seldom post oredi hor?
Heheh, wait til Arsenal start winning again, S-Kay will probably start flooding hantu bola with his posts…
wait a minute, simon, you’re a gunner too, right?
woo hoo! 1-0 baby!
eh, sorry, sorry, don’t remove me from blogroll, ok…
eh, s-kay is a girl la…!
anyways, that was a really short hiatus form blogging, eh dude?

Hi Simon,
Do drop by at my blog. ;o)
Dude..I only posted once (genuinely my post) and the rest (not that many too) is Naz…stupidlah Arsenal. I wish I can brainwash them!
Oi Sashi..I’m a girl lah weh!! For that, Simon should remove you from his blogroll =P
mun – i’ve mailed you.
s-kay – i’m still puzzled how sashi thinks you’re a guy. s-kay, i think you need to scream more in hantubola.
Still alive and kicking but don’t have the energy to blog.
aisay, so young, how can no energy…
Aiksss… Ken puts my blog here. Thank you
