Hello.

I've blogged for a while and then I stopped, and the story of why I started again is pretty funny.

I was surfing around today when I suddenly wondered if tarlia.blogspot.com was taken.

You see, I've been using the name "Tarlia" as my online persona for almost as long as I've been online (10 years?). When Blogger came about, I had my original blog hosted on my own domain. Registering tarlia.blogspot.com to preserve my net identity did not occur to me.

I checked, and it wasn't taken.

Now it is.

I live in Kuching. I write feature articles for a local paper. This is my blog.
