Okay, I need a long and draggy goodbye post. What he said.

I think I need to start maintaining relationships on a more personal level, because obviously blogposts can’t quite convey anything. Thanks if you ever enjoyed reading, no thanks if you hated me because of my blog. I realise that I don’t want to associate myself with this blog anymore, because it’s the part of me that reeks of everyone else. When there’s an audience there is self-consciousness, and I don’t think I need any more of that.

Also, it gets pretty irritating when people start quoting my blog, and when it does I know that I’m losing pride in this thing, and that’s always bad.

Sorry if I’ve offended anyone. I feel wretched. If you’ve never met me I hope someday you will, because then you will know me for who I am.

Sorry if I wrote like I was the only one who mattered.

So, what’s after this? Plenty. There’s still Matthew, for one!

And I may be back when I finally learn to take responsibility for my words. Under a different persona, maybe, or even anonymous, but I really don’t want to carry on anymore. Amateur journalism is really tough. Take it from me.

    ya know, i believe that the real you and the blog you can’t be too far off, if wad u’re putting in writing is a real part, a real part of your heart and soul, and not just the Public Relations part of your brain though obviously it’ll hav a say too

    and the problem with the written word is really, sometimes, you can’t just take it at face value, literally. So much is missing, no eye contact, no tone, no voice, i know not how to discern the true meaning behind words, though i may be the one who creates meaning for myself.
    (i wrote this becuz i entertained this weird brainwave that said: This could be a bloody July’s fools joke or sth, but wadeva, i shall treat it as the truth)

    so good luck as you bid us adieu on one level, and cya later, when we next meet. may it be deeper and more meaningful, as friendships should be.

    What? You gotta kidding. And I’ve noticed the trend that people kill off their blogs with an emo-ish post. NOT OAR SERM.

  3. 3 richyu July 3, 2008 at 10:32 pm

    i dun think many ppl kill with a maniacal glean in thier eye, coupled with a malicious shriek and bloodlust salivating down thier cheeks.

    death is sad. for life was before it.

    Well you can’t expect me to say “Oh the capital of America is Washington DC and btw farewell.”

    luminodrake: I intend to work intensively on The Ubers, but I’m not going to post it up even if I make progress. Bah, will send it to you via MSN someday. Too many assignments now. See you sometime November =/

    (oh wait, since when did I start getting caught up in homework concern!)

  8. 9 Beverly July 3, 2008 at 11:32 pm

    Aw, that’s sad… Your posts were really an enjoyable read if that’s a comfort.

    But maybe now you can start a little black book! Take care!

  9. 10 luminodrake July 3, 2008 at 11:34 pm

    then at least post some other stuff, like NOT-The Ubers

    tsk, you and pizzat, no updates this year at all.

  10. 11 stacy July 3, 2008 at 11:44 pm

    …but it was alive just a few hours ago! Mooty, no one ever gets over sudden deaths. I hope you send flowers to the gaping wound in my heart.

    Your absence will be missed. Just don’t decide to make a comeback two days later and make all your well-wishers feel foolish.

    In the meantime, 祝你身体健康,学业进步!

    (you still owe me eleven songs)

    Why am I furiously replying to comments?

    Beverly: Aw thanks. And uh how do you know about the black book? Surely you stalk me! (though it isn’t little) Good luck with the blog awards thingum! I’ll vote when I remember, though going by how the people are voting the winners will probably be undeserving as expected.

    luminodrake: Aw, out of inspiration, I be!

    stacy: You’ve seen through my publicity stunt! But, nah. Okay in all honesty I feel like posting about the S’pore Blog Awards SO BAD. MY BITCHYMETER IS BURSTING.

  12. 13 Zhi Ming July 4, 2008 at 3:16 pm

    OMG, how could you!

    I’ll miss the humour lah. =(

  13. 14 shanzhi July 5, 2008 at 12:24 am

    Get a friends-only LJ!

  16. 17 byap July 6, 2008 at 10:02 pm

    o.O another one bites the dust!

  17. 18 mooty July 6, 2008 at 10:07 pm

    byap: o_o That was my intended title, except it was too long.

  18. 19 Kieran July 7, 2008 at 3:10 pm

    dammit, this was one of the few blog i would visit every day because i knew it would be updated, and with INTERESTING posts, for lack of a better word. that word sums it up really. it had wit, sarcasm and content to make you smile and laugh. damn another one gone.

  19. 20 issy July 7, 2008 at 8:23 pm

    WHAT!!!!!!!!!! :(

  20. 21 Jarrell July 7, 2008 at 10:23 pm

    i guess a blog titled “slowbeatofdoom” was always edging closer to its eventual downfall wasn’t it? =D

    you’re probably already a teenage celebrity blogger in your own right but I guess in a way, you shld be glad you stopped yourself from becoming one of those lifeless celebrity bloggers we always laugh at eh. haha.

    *inserts random melodramatic eulogy*

    R.I.P slowbeat.

  21. 22 sooty July 9, 2008 at 3:44 pm

    your going slightly crazy, and i will reek all the benefits…. for blogs with ‘ooty’ in the name. sucker!

  22. 23 luminodrake July 9, 2008 at 11:12 pm

    Can somebody translate the above comment? I can’t read through such mess.

    Among those I think “your” was used when “you’re” is meant, and “reek” in place of “reap”, but I’m not too sure.

  23. 24 passerby July 10, 2008 at 10:16 pm

    hi! yeah i’m just a random person but i enjoyed reading your blog (so much better than S’pore blog award winners). no matter what, don’t stop writing-you’re great!

  24. 25 sooty July 25, 2008 at 6:24 pm

    luminodrake, you reap of loserness’s
