As I said earlier, I started blogging since August 2003� That was the first version of TWM, and that lasted till Oct. 7 2004. Then, due to some technical difficulties and other problems, including personal reasons I�m afraid, I decided to put TWM on hiatus.
At that particular moment I wasn�t sure if I wanted to shut down TWM for good or not. Part of me wanted to just delete it for good while the other part of me still wanted to blog.

So at last I decided that I put TWM on temporary hiatus while I open up another temporary blog Dalam Kelam to keep some important people updated on my activities in Perth. Not many people know about that I supposed, because it�s not really meant for public.
And now you have the third version of TWM (if you take Dalam Kelam as second version of TWM).

I tend to give 'names' to my journal series, especially when something pivoting happened in my life and my style of writing changed.
Hence, 'A New Chapter' was born when I was 15/16, and later on 'Journal Wani' (which exists till now) came about when I was 17/18. All of that is personal stuff.

Then, in my first year as med student, when I already have TWM, I was inspired by two good friends of mine to change the direction of the way of writing in my blog. When I first started, I wrote mostly on my daily life and when I read that back, I could feel myself blushing to the way of writing I had.

These two friends of mine showed that a lot could be told through blogging, so I write of what I think people could benefit from my experience. I try to exclude over-emotional entry because that would be me exaggerating and those kinds of thoughts are usually my personal biased thoughts.
Now, I�ve decided that my blog would portray myself. Because before this I was confused myself on what direction should my blog be; now I have the answer. I don�t have to hide who I am and what I think myself is.

Who else inspired you to blog?
Oh, there are a lot of people! Basically most of those who are in my list of links are the ones who inspired me.
Life itself is a great driving force. Just the thought of sharing my experience is a driving force.

Will you ever stop blogging for good?
Truthfully? I don�t know. Haha, I might even continue blogging once I work and have my own family� but let�s not go there. Seriously, I don�t know� we�ll see if I live long enough to answer that question.

Wallahualam.
