…and slightly envious of all these creative people. I have the creativity of a rock.
Some links are of blogs that are just…interesting to read/look at. Really random. I found them all through ljcfyi.com’s favourite links. I know I’d find some cool links because I like her blog, too.
Color Me Katie – I like how it’s “out there” with her creations.
The Small Object – I love the little stamps!
Hope you enjoy browsing through them!
Still a work in progress but am impatient to wait while tweaking.
If anything doesn’t work – please let me know.
Thanks!
One picture for you and I.
If you noticed, it’s a bigger sized picture than what I normally put up (yes, it took me this long to realise the previous size is just too small to “appreciate” the pictures I put up) – not that you can compare the pictures now because it’s all gone. Changing directories and starting new (again!) – pictures would be bigger (I myself am getting old, can’t see nuts when my pictures are so small! 
)
The theme I’m working on doesn’t look like much (hey, it’s from scratch – with the help of a tutorial, no less) but I am getting the hang of the codes/commands – which ones are to be tweaked and which ones are to be left alone.
And always validate, validate, validate!
It’s going to suck the life out of me – and I don’t need to be online since I am doing it on my computer (note the “localhost” on the picture’s URL). Will look into the aesthetic part soon.
Meanwhile, my eyes, neck and back are killing me…

Yay for Safari!
I mentioned some time ago it died on me and I had to switch to Firefox. I deleted and re-installed it but nothing happened. I couldn’t even get a blank page to load.
It came alive while I was working on the WP theme yesterday – weird. But the good kind of weird, so I’m happy!
But it happened 7 years ago.
I have been feeling nostalgic, so I dug up my old entries (ones that I’ve deleted but kept a copy on disk) and to make it all the more “sentimental”, I chose the one dated 21st August 2002 (I think it’s 21st in Malaysian time because in the entry, I said it was 20th, although the entry’s date was 21st.)
Back when I first started my blog, I wrote about everything and anything. I would update several times a day(!) because I was afraid if I didn’t write it down, I’d forget it.
The memory issue is pretty much the same now but somehow I find it…tiring. The writing and publishing, I mean (the irony! I remember writing about how I loved blogging because I could type faster than I could write and that I was always on the computer – it made sense to have a blog)
So I delay writing it down (yes, despite having a notebook in my bag at all times) and I forget. When I sit down at the end of the day, I just think of how my feet ache and how I wish I needn’t work.
Stop.
Rewind.
Repeat.
I want to purge my site and have a start-over (I go thru this particular purge-clean-startover phase for everything in my life – when will this madness end?), so I use that as an excuse, “Aiyah, I won’t update now because I’m going to change it later on…waste time. I will do it when I’ve got my site cleared up.”
Of course, it never happened (well, I hope it’s happening in September when I renew my domain and hosting) and we ended up with an accidental hiatus.
By “we”, I mean my blog and I.

Now the craving is another thing that’s bugging me.
After spending $20 at the same place for two consecutive days to satiate my craving for laksa, you would think I’d be moving on to the next thing (yes, you know how I get cravings for certain things and then after that, I’d crave for something else)!
Nope!
Not happening.
It’s the middle of the night and I’m STILL wanting to eat laksa. Should I go again after work tomorrow and spend another $10?
Mind you, this is not even Malaysian laksa…it’s more of a sweet spicy soup with a hint of coconut milk/cream. Curiously, I enjoy it and somehow my brain tells me, “Ah! Laksa!”
I do have the ingredients to whip some up (cheat’s way, of course!) – laksa paste, fish cakes, puffed tofu, rice noodles…but tak semangat to cook lah! I just want to eat it.
I should go to bed. It’s going to be a looooong weekend for me. I will regret going to bed this late when the alarm goes off at 6am.
