The Bs; Blogskins and Birthdays

*This post was supposed to be dated on the 16th November. But I was too busy to blog about and so it was saved in my Drafts.



If you have been to my blog recently, you'd realized that I have been changing my blogskin every few hours. Well, I love searching for blogskins and I must say, This Site (Click Me!) does have many talented designers. A couple of my favourites are designers like Solistice (Click Me!), Fedora_girl(Click Me!), Li0nheart (Click Me!) and SPLASH! (Click Me!) Of course, there are others, with pretty good skins as well.

What I like about the designers is that they use really vibrant colours to catch the attention of noobs, like me as well as genius bloggers. There were many designs which I liked A LOT, but I didn't choose them, instead, I chose this skin, which I liked alot too, but not as much as the others. And the only reason why I rejected the others, hesistantly, was because, of the size left for the posts.



I believe that an online journal, where people share their thoughts, knowlege and opinions, should have the widest space for their posts. This not only enables readers to really focus on theirs posts, but also enables them to see them clearly, without the small fonts.

I definitely would not want my readers to squint just to see my posts, nor be blinded by the neon colours of the fonts.

That was why I kept changing my blogskin, in search for something better, with bigger space for my posts, and so I settled on this. Not bad a design, and definitely enough space for my posts.



Anyway, enough about my blogskin, let's move on to the next B; Birthdays.


Today happens to be a special day for three people. They are none other than Wei Cheow, Ms Lim Hui Qi and my Dad. What is so special about today, for them, is that today happens to be their birthday!







To Wong Wei Cheow (if you happen to read this) :

A great friend for four years, so much that we treat each other more like brothers than friends. You are really a great guy, so don't let the daily obstacles in Life pull you down. I am sure you will be a very successful man, with many accomplishments.


Count your Life by the smiles, not the tears
Count your age by the Friends, not the years.


Good luck, and may you succeed in your future endeavours!!








To Ms Lim Hui Qi ( If you happen to read this) :

Despite only knowing you for two years, you have totally gotten my full respect. I do not have a religion, but I believe that there is God. And I think that God gave the world a gift when you were born; a person who loves and cares, who sees a person's needs and fills it, who encourages and lifts people up, who spends energy on others rather than herself, who touches each life she enters.

You may think that your actions are little. But it's the little actions that you do, that makes a difference in the world. May the love you shower on us, be returned to you multiplied!




Loves.

Pocketful of sunshine

I've just had a really hot shower. You know there's something really unique about showers. You have the icy cold ones to wake you up, the normal one for a quick shower and the inviting hot showers, that "replenishes" your energy after your long, lousy day.

I always have the hot showers because I feel really refreshed after it, and it makes my skin feel soft, as though it got cooked. The tingling sensation of perspiration all over, after the hot shower never fails to make me feel ALIVE.

There's a huge difference though, between the warm inviting waters that make you feel all clean and happy like a baby,and the blistering hot ones that make you yelp in pain.

But the temperature of showers are different to my room temperature.

After the long shower, I reluctantly leave the toilet to go to my room. Reluctance soon leaves me as the cool azure blue of my room walls invite me in. I then fall asleep with a huge fan blowing at my face, with the air-conditioner switched on at 16 degrees.

My family thinks that I should be thrown into the hot springs in the day, and go to Alaska to sleep, in the night.


Anyways, if you didn't notice, my blog skin has changed. I'm not really pleased with this though. You see, I'm a huge blog goondu and I leave all the decorations of these kind of things to people are more professional. But as I searched on blog skins
for an appropriate one for me, I was disappointed to find skins that weren't appealing to me.
Don't get me wrong, there are talented people there like my all time favourite: Solistice. And Ink SPLASH, as well as lionheart.
But majority of the other designers are either people who tiieepe liike thiish, have the "oh,I'm so emo, join me as i face the wall and slit my wrist", or make lovey-dovey skins either about break-ups or happy endings.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD NOW?

All I want is a skin that either has colours that scream out, without having people to squint their eyes when they read my posts. Or a skin that portrays a calm, relaxing and laidback feeling, something that makes you feel warmth.

But it seems like the trend in blogskins now are revolving around love. Aren't people sick of it? Or is it just me?



Lastly, before I end this post, I'd just like to say the daily gossips with Shera and the ANNOYING ANTELOPE has been great, where we talk about idiotic girls, imitate how guys walk and actually discuss about some guy that has been staring at NATE. Hahah. Oh, and our gossips have been revolving around one particular guy lately, all I can say is that he strongly resembles a shaolin monk. But he's not bald though. Hahah
