New WordPress Blog
Okay, after reading that livejournal has laid off about a fifth of their employees, I have decided to go with WordPress. It is hugely open source and has a lot of free themes. But who knows, I might just give up and not write like my current blog. We shall see.
Blog Layouts
Okay I have to be honest, the blog templates on blogger totally sucks. I don't really like any of the templates available that I have since signed up with LiveJournal AND wordpress. Would that mean that I would blog more? Well, I guess I feel that I would blog more if I had more feedback which incidentally, I don't get a lot of feedback. So will going to the other blogs improve this? I don't know. Maybe it would. I like the other blogs better as they have more templates, are free and probably has more of a communitity then blogger. Am I missing something here?

Visit to Singapore and KL
I just came back from ten days of vacationing in Singapore and I must say that I definitely enjoyed this trip way better than any of the previous trips. Why, probably because this time around, I did touristy stuff, I had a nice comfy mattress to sleep on and most importantly, I had quality time spent with good friends and family. I basically ate and walked around the whole time.
The only time I didn't really enjoy myself was in Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia. There I fell sick and spent most of the time in the hotel room recovering for three days. My sis and brother-in-law also fell sick. What are the odds of us falling sick and each with different symptoms?
Needless to say, I was happy to return to Singapore where my friend, Danny took me to the pharmacist and purchased some medicine for me. And I immediately felt better and was able to resume having a great time in Singapore.
The heat was mostly bearable but it did get to me sometimes. It was hard to go around shooting with my new DSLR in the heat but I soldiered on and have posted the pictures up on my flickr web site.
I really do miss having my friends and family around. But I do love my life and where I live now.....

On my way to work
Waking up to a freezing 5 degrees Celsius, I went on my merry way to work. Only to pass this cool honda, and finding the wheels missing. Somehow I doubt that the owner would have taken all the wheels off his car..... I'd hate to see the owner's face... I hope they catch the buggers....

TGIF
It's Friday, the end of the working week, and I am looking forward to a nice weekend with the bf. Winter, as you know has arrived and the wind really starts to bite at you when you're out walking. I haven't put up as many pictures as I'd like on Flickr but hopefully we'll go out and take some nice pictures this weekend.
I was initially going to try to buy an entertainment unit but at around $400 or more, I can't really afford it as yet. This is what happens when you move 3 times in the last 2 years. Why do I want one, well first to stop using the dining table as one, so I can actually invite friends over for dinner, and secondly to set up my DJ gear. I've been aching to compile a new cd for ages but because the gear isn't set up, it's kinda hard to make that happen. But I guess, good things come to those who wait.
