Major revamp of my website

Shortly after the recent revamp of my website, I carried out another major revamp of my website yesterday.

The revamp stemmed from having successfully overcome the previous few bugs inside the html code as well as those inside the blogging platform.

I picked up REAL blogging knowledge not too long ago and am still in the learning phase. Myriads of trials and practices after errors and lots of research carried out regularly on the internet do really help. It takes time to understand the thousands of blogging mechanisms, gadgets, widgets, language, html, xml, etc… and troubleshooting, learning from past failures.

I do applaud Google’s Blogger’s new xml template which offers tons of more exciting features than its classical template though I have not tried the other as-highly acclaimed wordpress blog.

As appealing, interesting and exciting the widgets and features of a blog can be, these are just external ‘cosmetics’. The true inherent quality of a website lies in its content which is also the overriding factor in attraction and retention of readers.

The internet can be the world’s best teacher as I learnt so much about blogging and other things from it. The internet can be the world’s worst teacher if one uses it wrongly. Internet is, at its fundamentals, a double-edged sword.

Blog is one of the best inventions around. With blogs, everyone is an author and the world, his readers. One can expand his horizon by reading really good blogs out there in the blogosphere.

Knowing how to use Blogger is crucial to elevating the fun and excitement of blogging to another level.

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

Performance Bonus

It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne
