Over the years

This blog passed the six million page views mark yesterday.  That's after almost six and a half years.

Not really a big deal as others have tens of millions and a blog on food, travels or gardening could have done better in term of viewership.

But still, I think it's not so bad either considering this is just an insignificant anonymous sopo blog.

So, I'm doing a recap of what this blog has been over the years to mark the occasion.

2013 
I started this blog after the break up of the Bigcat team. It was about two months before GE13.
I made it clear at start that I'm supporting BN, particularly Johor Umno, which was at that time helmed by TS Abdul Ghani Othman.
BN did not do very well in GE13 and Ghani retires.
I continued to support BN but was unhappy with the ways of its leaders, particularly in Johor.
I wrote this just for fun on Dec 16 2013

• Five years from now, my prediction.

That was long before Dr Mahathir joined forces with DAP and the other Pakatan parties.
But I don't think I was too wrong with that prediction.

2014
I continued to support BN even though I was unhappy over a lot of things being done or not being done by its leadership.
This is especially so in my home state Johor.
This is among my unhappy posts at that time

• Johor's Sepuluh Budak Hitam

And I wrote this on Dec 5 2014

• Datuk Najib's next three months

If you are not lazy enough, do click on that link and you will know why I'm not bothered till today when people called me a Najib's machai, makan dedak etc.

2015
This is the year marked by the start of Dr Mahathir- Najib war.
I wrote this, as I saw it coming on April 2 2015

• A storm is gathering

Then of course all hell broke loose after that.
It was heartbreaking to see my friends bitterly fought each other.
I tried to stay in the middle, pledging to myself not to fight my friends from either sides over politics.
It was a tough year indeed.

2016
The Dr Mahathir-Najib war worsen.
Both sides adopted the "you are either with us or against us" policy.
I lost many friends from both sides because of that.
I tried my best not to quarrel with them, but some of them just kept coming at me.
It reached a point where I enjoyed doing this kind of nonsense posts rather than the political stuff

• Guide to be a likable woman

At one time I even declared that I'm

• Completely neutral and disengaged

Seriously. I actually tried very hard to be that all the way to GE14.

2017
It's the year I blogged the least.
Just 189 posts as compared to 2013 (346), 2014 (308), 2015 (387), 2016 (273), 2018 (252).
It's hard being neutral.
I also completely lost my love...and inspiration that year.

2018
The GE14 year.
I considered myself politically neutral up until the Pakatan's victory.
Well, we all know what happened after the victory.
Right after that I told myself

• Malaysia still needs a good opposition

and I'm willing to be a part of it.
Even my love who left me sent me a kind message agreeing that I should do that.
My love is a DAP supporter.
Well, democracy needs an opposition.
My decision was made easier by the arrogant comments of Pakatan supporters at this blog.
Really.
They whacked me for even the slightest hint of sympathy for especially Umno after GE14.
My reply to them was this,

• Goddess of Death versus PH supporters

Hahahaha

2019
Pakatan is unravelling,
Well, the year is not out yet, so I think I'll wait to comment on it some other times later.

Okay....actually writing this one is tiring.
No real point, isn't it?
Just me being silly, actually.
See la later, maybe I have the mood to write properly tomorrow.

Oh, by the way, thanks guys for visiting this blog.
Here's a bit of good music for you all.

Ciao.
