"Blog About Others At Your Peril..."

If you don't read it, there's one particular entry I've got to point out by star blogger Jamie Yeo, who pointed out something that many bloggers do without realizing it.

"Should blogs which are very personal, so much so that they damn and hurt the innocent and seek revenge of the guilty, enter the public domain?"

-Jamie Yeo

I realized that I'm one of those who tend to make such mistakes without even realizing the outcome.

So to whoever I have hurt, I seek your forgiveness as I blog only to what I think deems right but not thinking about how you feel about the issue.



Blogging, be it a job or a passion, could be the best thing that has ever happen to you. But blogging has it's own limitations. You can't be possibly blogging about something that might hurt or stain your country, friends or families with bad reputation or bitching about your job for not being the most idealistic one you seek. If you think it's personal, choose writing a diary or would you rather hurt people or yourself in the process?

I just can't picture blogging to ruin one's life by just a simple blog entry. To one, it might be worth the effort, but to me, it's just plain dumb, don't you think?

Nuffnang Event: Singapore Movie Fiesta Is Gon' Be A Wowser!

Prior to what Cherie blogged in Nuffnang, I realized my sister and I were at Vivocity the same time as she was. But how come she gets to take great pictures but I don't!? Maybe it's just unlucky for me that I missed out the good part of one of Nuffnang's anticipated event of the month!

Anyway, here's what you're going to miss (If you're giving this event a miss):

Face Art (as seen on movies) done by Make-up Professionals


Hot babes and hunks in their tight superheroes suits lurking around

Shaolin Girl! Too bad I didn't win the tickets. v_v

Food Food Food!
Terra Cafe - 2.5/5 stars

My sister loved it

My Main Course

Makes No Sense: My sister mistook steamed rice for fried rice?

But she liked it anyway...

Literally, ICE cream, full of cream, and ICE

Basically my sister and I spent out night at the pet store picking up yet another hamster. Where's the other? NO, it's no longer around. YES, my roborovski passed away barely 3weeks of purchase due to a weak immune system. T_T

Oh and shopping at Daiso is awesome. Do check out that branch if you wanna do cheap shopping!

So, if you're so bored and you've got nothing to do, fly down to Vivocity, or else you'll miss all the fun! :) Remember it's tomorrow, bring your family, relatives along and enjoy the lovely super duper afternoon with them.

How Come Nuffnang Like This One?

This is not my first, nor is it my second..or third time..In fact, I've actually lost count the number of times I have encountered with this error that says, "Exceeded maximum number of tries" when I have not been commenting much. In fact, I only comment less than twice a day so how is it even possible I've reached the maximum number of tries? *SCREAMS*

Odd, eh? Besides the picture taken below was a post I was supposed to comment on but that error came out again. Oh dear. v_v


Why is it so? How long will that error revert to norm?

But no matter what, I know I love Nuffnang so I won't bear the grudge because there'll be no space for love when hatred is filled to the brim. So I choose to love, what to do? I'm such a lovely person. :/

The Mission with Nuffnang: Fight To Save Narnia!

all thanks to Nuffnang, i won myself a pair of tickets to catch the exclusive screening of Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian at Bugis Junction.


i saw plenty familiar faces of fellow Nuffnangers and i'm just overwhlemed by the number of attendees for the exclusive screening! i also spotted famous blogger Wendy Cheng a.k.a xiaxue accompanied by her partner amongst the crowd.


the theatre was fully seated with people of all sorts; ah bengs and lians, the emo kids, the lomo clique, the adults, kids, teens and not to mention elderly people too. the movie started off a little late, but it was worth the wait because the best has yet to come!


the lovely inititate Nuffnang have came up with,
a i love Nuffnang badge!

this entry is dedicated to these friendly Nuffnang team in white!
Ming and the Nuffnang team! you guys are awesome!
(btw, thanks Cherie!)

so after waiting for almost forever, the movie started with the Queen giving birth. she looked as if she had an orgasm...a painful one. a son was born, Lord Miraz's desire for the throne gets deeper, and instructed assassination of his nephew, Prince Caspian, the only heir to the throne. Caspian was informed and he ran his life into the woods of Narnia. desperate for help, Caspian has blown Queen Susan’s horn.

the scene then changed to Susan (i laugh at her sausage lips all the time. i'm evil!) caught in an awkward situation with a schoolmate who fancies her, whom suddenly got cut by Lucy, who led Susan to the subway station where the attention shifted brother Peter who got into a trivial fight while Edward tried to stop it.

whilst waiting for the train, the Pevensie children started a small conversation about Narnia, out of the blue, strong wind gushed and tiles began peeling...*pauses*

wait why am i telling you this? go catch the movie yourself!

here are some spoilers:


no longer the innocent young chldren we know,
the kids grew..a little. (1300 years old in Narnia)

happy ,good looking, undergoing puberty
(just look at Susan..and her sausage lips!!!)

new characters in the movie

superb graphics like this

and this...

this too!

Aslan, the great!

you have cutesy characters like Reepicheep

fierce centaurs and minotaurs, i like!

there will be blood!

not to mention the fantastic wardrobe!

you know how one movie director cleverly decided to put an abrupt end to a movie you anticipated for ages and gave you a hint that there will be a part 2? then turns out that part 2 isn't worth your time and money? to hell with that! because Narnia started out just as expected from it's first chronicle of Narnia, The Witch, The Lion and The Wardrobe. i was so surprised by it's sequel, Prince of Caspian because it was 123456789 times better than the former!

trust me, all these pictures and whatever reviews you have read don't do much justice. buy a movie stub and go catch the damn movie, like, right now!!!

Ad Removed?!

at aproximately 2-???a.m earlier this morning, i visited my blog for my tagboard updates when i realised my advertisement gone. i hurriedly open a new tab and checked my e-mail to ensure my advertisement wasn't being rejected by the advertiser. i logged into Nuffnang to check for any updates or errors, but there wasn't any report of advertisement removals..or cranky networks.



i felt a little disappointed as i thought that the advertiser rejected their advertisement in my blog. however i thought to myself "one man's loss is another man's treasure", and there are many other opportunities from Nuffnang to me. of course, i'll improve on my writing skills and treated this incident as a lesson learned. i let it pass and continued watching ANTM (America's Next Top Model Cycle 10)

this afternoon i wanted to blog about the baking session my sister and i had when i realised my ad being restored! i continued the similar cycle i did last night and i'm relieved! HK also tagged me asking where my advertisement was, because his was gone too. now i'm glad it's back,hopefully, nothing like this will happen again! :__)

Google Analytics for Blogger [In Private Beta]

Google Analytics for Blogger will be available for blogger users soon!!! :)

chic and very pretty! me like!

"It's clear that the standalone Measure Map is history and all of its features will be added in a new Google Analytics section for blogs with information about comments, links from other blogs, popular posts and, hopefully, real-time stats. FeedBurner is also a good candidate for integrating with Google Analytics and providing the big picture of your blog's traffic.


Another good news is that Blogger users will finally have a stats panel that can be accessed directly from Blogger's interface. Hopefully, Google will also include options like showing the number of views for each post or adding a list of the most popular posts in the sidebar."

now that it's going to happen, i wonder what will happen to other stats counter? hmm.
