Ok ok,

After the re-design, i have been experimenting with other blogging platforms for better publishing power. Tested Nucleus, B2Evolution, Movable Type, Word press and even Joomla.

Movable Type appears to be the most comprehensive and powerful solution and thus disqualifies itself as too much of a good things eventually becomes a bad thing. The rest were pretty simple and not worth the move from blogger.

Finally hit upon Word Press 2.7 as my new blogging platform. Installed it on my web server and took for a spin. Light, fast, and offers customization. The downside was that i would be stuck with the crappy word press themes or be forced to download from the internet.

For the past week, i’ve been hard at work creating my own word press custom theme which is basically a mirror of my blogger design, but with word press engine calling the shots. Who knows, the next post might even be from word press.

ps: Blogger is good, but not good enough.
Cheers

Ok ok,

I recently got feedback that my comments link has not been available for awhile now. I have fixed the issue with the new Blogger embedded comment dock.

Cheers

Ok ok,

In a couple of hours, we’ll all be done with 2008. It has been anything but a memorable year, with inane price hikes and a preposterous explosion of inflation. In short, this year has been a pain in the donkey.

In the real world, everyone … and their grandmother is struggling to deal with the soaring inflation. Just about the only people who have something to smile about are the Jedi masters who are employing their cheap mind tricks on us.

Meanwhile, the bread and butter issues remain unanswered. It is sort of having a 200Kg gay gorilla sitting in your living room making lewd gestures at you that everyone sees but no one wants to talk about. It’s there, but all the Jedi circle is seemingly oblivious to it. I shudder to think what is to become of us.

I pity those who actually voted in favour of the Jedi counsel. I guess you must be feeling pretty foolish by now. But on the other hand, even the smartest and most clairvoyant of us did not expect this.

Some Highlights:

We won Pedra Branca. We lost more of our money.

We lost the Suzuki Cup. We lost more of our money.

We had F1. We lost more of our money.

We stopped the Singapore Flyer. We lost more of our money.

We. We lost more of our money.

e. We lost more of our money.

. We lost more of our money.

Can’t wait to see what 2009 brings to the forsaken red dot.

Cheers

ps: I should settle down in Cairo.

ps: All i need now is the Airing of Grievances

ps: My PSP, My Laptop and Me.

Ok ok,

In a couple of days, we’ll all be done with 2007. If there’s anything memorable about it, it will be remembered as the year of inane price increases. Every single day, you woke up wondering what the hell was going to be next.

While people who live in other geographically challenged locations are contemplating about what storm or hurricane is going to hit next, I am wondering what price hike is going to hit next. If there was nothing in the papers, I usually spend ten minutes kneeling down and mouthing prayers to the lord God.

Today I was browsing through the ST and I can’t help but wondered if ST was actually written and published in an alternate dimension where nothing bad ever happens to Singapore. The Singapore that is written about in the pages of the ST sure as hell don’t seem like the Singapore that I am living in. Their year in review basically contains glowing articles about the wonderful economy and how every Singaporean is lying on a bed filled with money. Meanwhile in the real world, everyone and their grandmother is struggling to deal with the soaring inflation. Just about the only people who has something to smile about are the Jedi masters who are employing their cheap mind tricks on us.

Now that i know that ill probably be dead before i can take out and utilise my CPF money, i sleep better at night. The thought of slogging out the next 40 years and contributing to the economy and then dying before i can use that money makes me a patriot. No one has the right to tell me when and how to use MY MONEY, no one, not even my mom. Its mine and i want to waste my money buying life time supplies of marsh-mellows. I think in a couple of years, the minimum age to withdraw your cpf might go up to 180 years. God help us …

Meanwhile the bread and butter issues remains unanswered as the crazy inflation resembles a 800 pound gay gorilla sitting in your living room making lewd gestures at you that no one talks about. Its there, but all the Jedi circle is seemingly oblivious to it. I shuddered to think about what the low income families has to deal with everyday.

i pity those who actually voted in favour of the Jedi counsel. I guess you must be feeling pretty foolish by now. Its a given of course, prices was all going to jump after the election, but not even the smartest and most clairvoyant of us expected this. Whatever official figures they give us, double it and that’s the real figure you get for inflation.

For millionaires, these people seems remarkably bad at counting. You’d think the million of dollars they’ve “earned” would’ve given them good practice at counting. I suggest everyone who reads this take a moment to think about what is going to happen in the next 4 years.

Cheers

ps: I hope to move to New Zealand next year.
