About

The author/writer/publisher of this blog is 20 years old (a proud Aquarian whose birthday falls a day after Valentine’s day, 15th February, hinthintdoublehint) and goes by his usual nick, Clem. Short and concise. Clem - not that edible mollusk clam, which unfortunately shares the same pronunciation. I am neither edible nor tasty nor will I make you salivate, nor am I ever likely to end up in any gourmet by some bloodthirsty cannibals due to my lightweight size and girth.

By living for almost two decades now, I have grown to acquire several nifty acquisitions in terms of materialistic possessions or otherwise. My love for writing, photography, The Corrs, and travelling grit me to the bones, in which you will see traces of such evidences appearing throughout the site, unless you’re visually-impaired or possess rare selective vision.

Writing about myself can be rather difficult since I don’t know where to begin exactly. Would you like to hear about my weird hobby of mine where I collect movie tickets/stubs and keep them safely in a metallic box? Or how blogging and/or writing actually keeps me sane most of the time?

I believe in both optimism and pessimism - I believe that both exist to keep the very meaning of living alive. Have you questioned yourself that eternal, unanswerable question even by the greatest of men, “What’s the meaning of life?” Simply put, it’s silly. Why do we live? To make others happy, or to make others suffer.

Why do we always question silly things like that? It makes my head hurt.

Even in the deepest of troubles or the vilest of situations, I find solace in this most beautiful and poignant quote I’ve ever heard or known:

The world is not beautiful; therefore it is.

No, it is not meant to make your head hurt. If you indulge in it for a moment, take a Kit-Kat and munch into the quote for a while, you will soon realise it. That the very fact why we’re in a world of constant change, a world where you find hope in the gravest of places, a world where you seem to be misunderstood - an ugly, brutal world - that makes the world all the more beautiful, challenging, and unique.

I am a proud co-owner of the largest fansite of a particular MMORPG, http://www.hidden-street.net. What started off as a side project in the long December school holidays with Jon, turned out to be a popular hit since we were the first English database to ever exist. Suffice to say, I’ve learnt a lot since then, and it was all thanks to that now-defunct silly ol’ Celcom project u8generation.com that revived my web developing abilities.

I can be an extremely volatile happy creature, and I can be a sad, emo, ohwhythouarthateme beast the next. I enjoy hanging out with a group of friends, chit-chatting away over nothing on utterly silly random stuffs, and that would be enough to make me happily contented.

I hate braggarts - the rich ones, especially - who love nothing but providing unnecessary information on their latest acquisition which will, one day, wither and die. I hate insensitive, selfish bastards who bothers about nobody else other than themselves.

I.. what am I on now, page 146 of my autobiography? Am I really an interesting persona enough to go on and on about myself?

I’ll be your saviour from boredom and gently coax you to read my blog entries to get a gist of who/what I really am, because sometimes, I mayn’t know myself well after all.
