Welcome to Trylobyte’s Corner!

This is the place where I put my random thoughts that I like to share with you all. It’s also a place where I could post about things that interest me such as movies, TV shows, Games and just anything that’s part of the Pop culture that I find necessary to post about (no I’m not going to talk about Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, you can find that somewhere else). Note that this isn’t a news site where I have to post everynews on movies, TV shows and games nor a blog representing some community or organization; This is a personal blog. Want to contact me? Here’s my email trylobyte07@gmail.com

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)…I think

What does ‘trylobyte’ stands for?
‘Trylobyte’ derives from ‘Trilobite’, a prehistoric creature that existed between 500 to 250 million years ago (btw, that’s before the dinosaur). You can find more information here. I just think it’s a cool nick that’s all.

What is the image on the top header of your blog?
That’s from the ’stargate’ sequence from the movie 2001 Space Odyssey.

Why did you want to start blogging?
You can find that answer below which is taken from my first post:

The idea of creating a new blog have always been in my head for a long time now. At last, here I am at WordPress publishing my first post. Now there are several reasons that made me create a blog now rather than sooner or later:

No.1:I always have several thoughts/ideas or opinions that i just keep in my mind. Storing your thoughts in your head for a very long time isn’t a good idea because it would be too distracting if have lots of stuff in your mind. So I decided to do something about it and it’s urgent because I realize that I have come to a point in my life where I need to focus on my priorities and set aside all those other ideas that I have. You could say that this blog act as my way putting those thoughts out of my head. It’s a thought reliever.

No.2: When I started blogging back in 2005 with “MSN Space” nobody I knew was blogging. Now almost everyone I know is blogging!! So i want to hop into the blogging bandwagon again. BTW, for those who are curious here’s my old blog Yes, this one is kind of a ’remake/reboot/reimagination’ (or whatever words Hollywood are using with movies these days)  of my old MSN space (random thoughts & musings)

N0.3: My brother used to have a blog at WordPress (although he sort of retired from blogging because he got a job or in other words he has a life now ). Since I usually does the “backstage” work for his blog thus I’m already familiar with most of the features at WordPress.

N0.4: I was bored nuff said.

BTW, who the hell are you?
It depends on who you ask Hahaha…I’m a bit of a private guy. Let’s just say that I come from Brunei (It’s a small country in the island of Borneo. Go check your atlas, I bet most of you would’ve missed it ). If you want to get a better idea about me (what I like, think, remember, etc), go check out the list of posts that I made under ‘personal’ category or my top posts.

So…you’re a Bruneian Blogger huh…doesn’t look like one. Where’s the coverage of the various happenings in your country? Where’s information about Bruneian traditions? Are you competing for the nation’s top bloggers? You don’t even talk about yourself going ‘lepak2′ at the Mall and promote local restaurants? Why are you speaking english? Apa ni?! Speaking2 saja..cakap brunai bah! Most importantly, where are the pictures of hot Bruneian girls?!!

WOAH!! Chill! Haha…umm..If you want those things go check out the other Bruneian blogs. You can start here: Blogging Nation (a directory of Brunei Blogs of various kinds) or Ranoaddidas (he’s sort of the kingpin of the bloggers here). I also recommend sites like AnakBrunei or Maurina or the greatness of BruneiResources.

The thing is that I created this blog with the intention of it just being a personal blog. It’s just a place where I like to post stuff that I want to post. So I don’t really want to be part of this whole ‘I am a Brunei Blogger and I am part of the local blogger community and we will make a difference and have our voice heard and etc‘.

It’s not that I’m turning my back on being a ‘Bruneian blogger’ and being part of this ‘Bruneian Bloggger community’. Not being unpatriotic or a traitor. I’m actually proud that I’m one of the many Bruneian who sit on their ass in front of the computer and type whatever they want to type. It kinda shows that there are many talented Bruneian out there (By talent, I’m not referring to the ’sitting on their ass’ part but to the stuff they write about. Most of them write way better than me. WAY BETTER. And they’re more interesting too).

Why don’t you talk about your life? You know like what happened to you today?
Haha…that’s the problem, nothing really happens. I have a boring personal life.

I notice you post a lot of movies stuff. What are your favourite movies?
I’m writing anything that pops up in my head:
Die Hard, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, The Rock, Transformers, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Children of Men, V for Vendetta, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, 2001 Space Odyssey, The Fountain, The Matrix, Shawshank Redemption, Jurassic Park, Borat, The original Star Wars trilogy, Lord of the Rings, Sin City, 300, Truman Show, First Blood, Batman Begins, Spiderman 2, Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Finding Nemo, Blood Diamond and Transporter 2!!(more of a guilty pleasure/LMAO movie to watch). Of course there is more.

Nice! So, where on earth are you? Surely not in Brunei. You lamented that only 1% of your visitors come from Brunei… hmm… link your blog to those well-known Brunei sites you mentioned up there. I, for one, would love to read Bruneian bloggers living outside Brunei. Good luck, where ever you are. 25/02/08

Where on earth am I? I’m currently sitting in front of my PC in my house at Penanjong, Tutong LOL…so I’m not living outside my country. I used to because of my dad’s occupation.

And about that ‘less than 1% visitors from Brunei’, I got that impression from SiteMeter. I’m not sure how accurate it is though.

You wrote, “So I don’t really want to be part of this whole ‘I am a Brunei Blogger and I am part of the local blogger community and we will make a difference and have our voice heard and etc’.” Then why do I see that Simpur BloggingNation directory thing on the side of your site. I thought you were a rebel. 28/04/08

Sorry, not much of a rebel, never been Haha  Anyway, my friend persuaded me to put it on that directory list. I held it off for a while, expecting to just get bored with blogging. But then I realized that yeah, I think I’m kinda gonna do this for awhile. But not as in “hey, i could create this into a brand” but more towards, “yeah, i kinda get the hang of it. I like writing, it’s good exercise. Keeps me sane sometimes LOL”

Now that I know that I’m continuing this blog for a longer period of time, I said to myself, “oh yeah, about that suggestion my friend told me, the listing down this blog on the directory…hmm…oh well, I guess it’s a good way for someone to notice that this Trylobyte guy is a Bruneian”.
