Pitter-Patter

Pitter-Patter.

It is being defined as the sound of a rapid succession of light beats or taps, as of rain or footsteps.

Why choose this particular word as the name of my blog? I guess there are a few explanations. Pitter-patter, to me, represents a few things that are meaningful to me. Initially, I wanted to name this blog as "Pink Butterflies" (to honor my previous blog Of Rainbows and Butterflies and also because I like pink) and then I realized that there's not going to be any pink (yet) nor any butterflies (yet) on my blog template. Then I figured, why not come up with something really random yet means something to me? And there you go! Pitter-Patter.

Pitter-patter can be the sound of footsteps of toddlers/babies running, with their pudgy little feet smacking the floor in the pursuit of whichever things that caught their attention. I don't know about you, but when I think of this, I immediately relate it to happiness and joy. Isn't it a joy to watch cute little babies running around laughing and chasing after their own objects of interest? Thus, pitter-patter represents my happiness.

Pitter-patter, can also represent my sadness. It can be the sound of raindrops splattering onto the windows, a sign of a gloomy day. You see, I wouldn't think that a weather is gloomy or dark or depressing (regardless of whether it rains or shines) unless I am feeling sad and down. The raindrops on the window is just a symbol of sadness, of when I'm feeling down and depressed.

Hence, the name "Pitter-Patter" is chosen as the name of my blog.

Since this is a blog I've created to just jot down the little things that I feel like jotting down, and since this is a place for me to vent, I shall do a brief introduction of myself.

I'm an Asian girl turning 21 this year. I have big dreams and a huge heart with enough to spare for everyone. I have loads of hobbies, my favourite being reading. I love to read, play the piano, sing, dance, play, swim, run, jump, hop, and basically, I love to do everything that there is to do under the sun. I am expressive; I like to express my feelings through spoken and written words. I like making handmade gifts too. I feel like handmade stuff are more sincere and more meaningful than buying expensive gifts. I love art. I love music. I listen to all sorts of music, from classical pieces to headbanging metal songs to techno and trance.

As such, my posts will generally be about my life, and also about the randomest things that I feel like talking about that day.

Why create a new blog, why not use back my old one? Well, I suppose I wanted a clean start. New year, new beginnings and that load of crap. But yeah, it's already a month into the year and the year is not exactly new anymore but it's okay, works for me anyhow.

So yep, let's hope this blog lasts for years and years and be the journey of my life (from the year I turn 21).
