Long Read - Thread. Not about the sewing thread.

Twitter. Thread. Plenty of threads.

I use thread to keep track of similar things that I tweet. 

I did not realise there were way too many thread until I stalk my own account. 

Here is the list of threads hidden beneath the thousands and thousands of tweets on my timeline. 

#salsread 

About books that I have read. All fiction. Has way too many Malay novels and mostly are all cintan-cintun stories. Need to read some English books. 

I digress a little here. Last time before there was twitter, facebook and all these social media, I used to write reviews of books I have read, useful and meaningful quotes from the book and my opinion of the story, characters and book. Wrote quite a lot but sadly all those books I wrote in needed to be get rid of. To start all over again is just too time consuming. For some time I wanted to record books I read so I turned to twitter. Initially I will just take pictures of the book's cover and then I remember I am not getting any younger. I tend to forget faster now and so I try to write mini reviews when I post on twitter. 

#salehatweetsaboutfood

One of my proudest thread ever! Started this thread when I wanted to document the different types of food we could get here in Singapore. I feel grateful and blessed that we can have food and cuisine from other countries all in our country though sometimes you need to explore further than your comfort area to reach out to them. More tweets added to this list as we are foodies and there's still plenty of food out there waiting to be eaten and photographed.

Tv shows catch-up https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/1065275979398995968

The latest thread I created to document and keep track of shows I have watched. Not sure why I think this was necessary. Probably because I have to prove that I have watched them and thus I'm very aware and updated on the gossip and rumours.  

Drinks https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/887239819524308993

Started this thread when I wanted to document the different types of drinks I have been able to get. To show my appreciation for my favourite beverage that I frequently drink.  

Sandwich https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/1027125733674500096

Realised I love sandwiches and thus created this thread to document different sandwiches I have eaten. May have been influenced by the 300 sandwiches blog. 

Salman gifs https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/1000383549126553601

Thread started because I was amused by Salman gifs that a dear friend sent to me upon discovering them on the gif section in whatsapp. Thinking of turning this into an appreciation thread for Salman as I remember I did one thread before but cannot locate it anymore :( 

Edit: The appreciation thread for Salman has since been found! https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/851449756790411264

Appreciation tweet https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/973911755477807105

Started the long thread to show my gratitude and thanks for pretty things that I was blessed to receive within that short time period. 

Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/963081444233916418

This thread was started when I somehow was searching the gif section for this film. Wonder what triggered the search but I vaguely remember it was to find a gif of Kareena that I wanted to post as a reaction. Ended up using all the gifs from the film that I could find to somehow talk about the film from start to end. I'm proud of myself for this thread. It's very entertaining. 

The forgotten thread https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/948184510327377920

Okay this one here was started when I notice I may not like the actor or actress but somehow has a film of theirs which is in my favourite list. Not an active thread because as the title suggest, I forgotten all about it!

Clouds obsession https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/884242042913644545 and Colours of the sky https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/1115415643602317314

I am surprised I forgot about this thread since I am very obsessed with clouds! There should have been more added to this tweet considering the amount of pictures I have related to the clouds and sky. Have tried to take less pictures of these objects and simply appreciate them. But I get jealous of people when they managed to capture pretty pictures of the clouds and sky especially. 

Salman's films appreciation thread https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/729807662611763200
Sometimes when I have the luxury of time, I will watch short clips of films I have watched before to simply enjoy the films again. 

Edited: Found the original thread! - https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/851449756790411264

I question if it was validation that I seek when I create all these thread or tweets or post pictures on Instagram? If yes, from who? But upon further pressing, I don't have a particular style that I adopt when I tweet or post on Instagram. I just post what I feel like posting. Even now I have stop sharing pictures on Facebook. It just fizzles out and I post more random things on twitter and memories that need and ought to be remembered on Instagram.

Random Hindi Songs https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/1163287949418438656
Somehow I listened to the songs and like them but I have never watched the film. In order not to forget these songs as it would be a waste, I decided to come up with a thread indicating the title of the song and also why the song stuck on me.

Sultan https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/790154354028191744
I don't recall this thread at all until recently in Sept 2019 as I did super random searches in twitter.

Gifs https://twitter.com/diwaniladki/status/769165770626469888
I honestly love this new creation. There's just so many of them and big thank you to everyone who created these gifs and uploaded in onto twitter library for all of us to use. It's truly A-MA-ZING!
