I’m Baaaack!
Wow.
The last time I used the mindspeak moniker, I was still a swinging single. Now, I’m happily married and I have a bouncing baby girl. Back then I was a teacher. Now, I’m an IT Trainer. Back then, we all wore bell-bottoms…
Wait…I wasn’t gone THAT long heheh! But anyway, It’s great to be back 
Now…what made me disappear and what made me return?
When I decided to leave the blogging world, I left with a heavy heart. I love blogging. I loved writing about things that happen around the world. About the things that happen around me. About the places I went to…the people I met. And also about mundane stuff like what I had for lunch and other fabulously interesting stuff like my newest handphone (a Nokia 6110…ok it was new back then).
But then…I ended up becoming very, very busy. I hardly had enough time for my (back then) girlfriend (who is now my wife). I hardly had enough time for anyone else either as I was a full-time (24 hours. Yeah…I even think about my pupils when I sleep) teacher. Something had to give. And that something was blogging.
After my 3 year bond ended, I decided to call it quits with the teaching thing. No more lesson plans. No more committees. No more meetings. No more marking. No more setting of test papers. No more competitions. No more planning for concerts. PHEW!
I love teaching, but I don’t like being a teacher.
So I decided to become an IT Trainer. I still get to teach but I get to teach only IT related subjects and I now teach in air-conditioned comfort. Its also easier to control pupils. They will shut the hell up the moment you threaten to stop them from using the PCs heheh…
A few weeks back, I had to conduct blogging courses for the pupils in my school. I had to prepare for the teaching materials and as I surfed the Internet for some worthy blogs to direct my pupils to, I couldn’t help but feel nostalgic about my halcyon days as a blogger…After much deliberation, I decided that I’ll come back again.
Maybe this time, I can make money out of it too!
