So I love reading personal blogs. I have been enjoying Substacks and blogs I found but lately I am longing for more diversity. Almost all the blogs I can find are from the West.
Can any of you recommend me any good personal blogs written by South East Asians (especially Malaysians) or other Asians? I seem to find that Malaysians like to blog about three things: Food, politics and money 😂 I prefer not to read those, tho food doesn’t hurt I suppose but will get a bit tired after a while
I prefer genuinely personal blogs that are slice of life stuff. If you know of any please recommend to me! 🙏

where oh where is the algorithm when you need it 🤣
maybe we should build our own search engine like what cendawanita mentioned here, and get it to crawl the malaysian blogosphere 🤔

I am all for that haha. I remember we used to have a blog directory of Malaysian blogs. I wish we had that again. Can we build something like that?

or we could start a simple list of links in git, something like this, which should give you some motivation to learn git 🦾

hmm, directory reminds me of dmoz, which wikipedia says has become curlie.org.
anyway, does anyone still blog or have they all moved to facebook now (I guess I’m thinking of malaysian blogs on the free blogspot and wordpress hosts, would probably be different if you had your own domain name, as that may give a little more motivation)?
the last time I checked, a few of the blogs I used to read had become invite-only (perhaps the bloggers grew up and didn’t want all their old stuff on public display), and of course the rest of them just aren’t updated anymore.
