Five Years of Blogging with WordPress

You registered on WordPress.com 5 years ago!

Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging!

This was what I first wrote after my father gave his permission to start my own blog:

Welcome To My Blog

Hello, my name is Ahmad Ali Karim.

Welcome to my blog.

I love to write and I started to write stories when I was 3 years old.

Now I am 5 years old and I am very happy to start my own blog.

  🙂 🙂 🙂 

I was very excited to receive this note from WordPress.com yesterday! I started this blog when I was five years old, five years ago and over the years I learn lots of things about writing, reporting and blogging.

One of my worst experience in blogging is when I cannot open my blog after it was hacked for a month.

I was so sad and scared and fear that I’ll loose my blog.

But thanks to the wonderful people at WordPress.com, at last my problem is solved.

And thank you very for my wonderful cyber friends who had sent me messages and tried to help me solve the problem.

Thank you for visiting my blog and my very special thanks to all my loyal readers who had become my special friends.

I wrote simple posts about things that I like, my favourite fruits and what happens around me.

Uncle Awang Goneng is one of my favourite writers and inspired me to start my own blog.

This is the first time I met Anwar Ibrahim, the politician who inspired me to become a politician. I was a very big fan of Anwar at the time.  Anyway I lost my respect for him after Bersih 3.0.

I started attending lots of programs and discourses. At home I read the news to know about what is happening, not only in Malaysia but also in the other part of the world.

I first met Uncle Nasha at his daughter’s wedding celebration and asked him why he does not leave PAS.

Uncle Zul is a lawyer and one of my favourite politicians. Like me, he was also one of Anwar’s fan before he realised the truth.

Himpunan Sejuta Umat

Himpunan Sejuta Umat at the Stadium Shah Alam, Selangor.

On 22nd October 2011, I went to the ‘Himpunan Sejuta Umat’ gathering.

It was held at the Stadium Shah Alam in Selangor.

I was there from about 14:00 to 18:00.

I was standing at the VIP seats.

There were lots of people at the gathering.

It must be an important event because there were lots of reporters covering the event.

Some of the reporters rushed to a group of NGO.

I met Pak Cik Burhan, Uncle Yusri Mohamad, Uncle Feriz, Uncle Ustaz Ismail Mina, Abang Ahmad, Atuk Mansor Ahmad, the uncles from GABUNGAN, Dr. Hassan Ali, The Mufti of Perak and many more.

The speakers sat on the front row.

Over there I listen to speeches and helped my father to take photos of the gathering.

The group of popular Malaysian nasyid groups performed before the speeches started.

A part of the crowd. On the left of the front row is my mother's cousin, Uncle Khalil. He and his friends came all the way from Kedah.

On the second row, third from left is Uncle Feriz and fifth from left is Atuk Mansur Ahmad.

On the front row are the some of the speakers. From left is the Mufti of Perak Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria, Dr Hassan Ali, Uncle Yusri Mohamad, Tan Sri Ibrahim Shah and Datin Seri Fatini Yaacob (the author of a popular book 'Natrah').
