For all muslims (I believe some in my friend list are) who will be going through their fasting month, happy Ramadan :). (If it’s a good way of putting it)

I have just put up the layout changes for my LJ :D. It’s not perfect, but I think I’ll fine tune it later.

Come and have a look at it! (If you read this entry from a Friends page 😊 )

[Note: I have only tested it on IE6 and Firefox 1.0.7. In case anyone uses a different browser, i.e. Opera or older browsers, do let me know if there’s any problems with it]

In other news, life goes on as I clumsily live my own life… Still practicing what it is to live life to the fullest… without constant analysis with my surroundings. (Does that make me live with my gut feelings? Hmm…)

Could use with real-life training and mentoring. 😊

[Update @ 2:30pm]

Made some CSS tweaks, and since I …

As things (or more specifically emotions and feelings) are starting to calm down a bit, at least I can organize my thoughts better.

And all I can say is that I’m still in my training phase in many aspects: Learning and applying all my knowledge about communication that I have been accumulating in the past and put my values to the test. It’s definitely going to be hard… no doubt about it, seeing how big the impact the shellshock was.

We’ll see how’s things going to turn out then :).

For those who wonder what happened during the weekends: Nothing much except for a very nasty programming bug that I describe it as a very resilient, agile, cunning and fast “cockroach” — that my debugging attempt is like running around across the house, swatting it furiously with a slipper on my hand. And it seems that people (my mom, in particular) is really amused with that analogy of mine :p.

And it’s really funny that my mom describes our makeshift solution is like using insect spray that is only capable to make it dizzy. Heh heh :p.

Phew! I finally got round to tag all the important entries that I’m able to identify from the titles (Luckily that I have the habit to put certain keywords for special sections). I’ll tag the other important entries that I’ve missed when I have the extra time.

As for now, I’m working on a new layout, and it’ll be much cooler than before (and less plain as it is now). I’m thinking of working on a more upbeat and happier theme for it (imagine baby blue), instead of the previous deeper and probably more sombreful theme that I have used in the past (imagine darker blue hues). I think I’ll work on something that can really reflect who I am now.

Anyway, for those who are interested, do …

I woke up today feeling totally different, and just finding myself readjusting, redefining and realigning some of my values on my head. Everything is still in a work-in-progress, but I suppose I’ll write something about my thoughts later :).

Other than that, I have tagged entries as far back as July 2004. 😊 It’s really interesting as I uncover some of my hidden treasures and reviewing all my thoughts in the past. Hmm… and probably I need to change a theme that supports tags :).

Been spending some time tagging my previous LJ entries, so that I can categorise some of my most important and valuable threads. I managed to tag everything from last December until now, which means I’m left with like… 11 months worth of entries @_@||. But it’s not a very hard process, so I think I can do that later.

The main reason I do this is to archive all my drifting thoughts, so that I can review it in times to come. For those who are interested, you can refer to them here:

It contains a lot of my own thoughts, philosophies, inquiries, personal development and some of my personal history. Somehow just skimming through them makes me feel like there’s a lot of recurring themes in these.

It’s definitely a …

Here’s a few photos that would scare you grins 😛:

Although I work as a programmer now, my desk will always be cluttered with the trusty-old pen and paper (together with other stationery). Guess I’m still in love with things analogue :p.

Notice the tons of PostIt notes on my monitor? Those are basically motivational messages 😉

Some of my technical books has migrated here 😊

My Eurobeat collection:

My Pop (Mostly J-Pop) collection:

I’m just relieved that Super Euro Christmas 2003 and Triple Crown doesn’t get lost in the mail. Phew~

Still learning how not to take things too personally in some situations, especially when it comes to minor things that goes against what I wished for or envisioned it to be. I understand that I shouldn’t take my blessings for granted and I will learn how to put myself in other people’s shoes and understand their needs and situation.

That implies that I also need to understand my obsessive-compulsive and (sometimes) selfish behaviour and make some necessary adjustment as well.

Sounds like a challenging task to me… BRING IT ON!

[:: NOTE ::]

New section this time :). These “Life Goals” posts are essentially promises that I made to myself in the process of improve myself.

I have a small request to those who read this: If I violated these goals in anyway, you don’t …

Decision made, actions taken, (if I didn’t observe wrongly) the wheel is turning, my environment is starting to take a different turn…

Only thing I can do now is to ante up with the challenge, and never look back. Hurt and pain may come, things may not turn out the way I wanted it to be… But it’s not a time for me to lose focus to get what I ultimately wanted in life.

My maxim will never change, that “I will learn, change, improve and appreciate myself for the best of others and myself”, and nobody’s gonna stop me now!
