My Untitled Story

Wannabe...

2009-07-29T11:27:00.001-07:00

I have just signed up with a gym near my place. I have been thinking abt it since May but its just so difficult for me to move my butt off the couch. Anyway, I have finally signed up for it and I am going to maximise my money. However, after going twice, I felt gym is not for me. I am not into any of the equipment. In fact, treadmill bored to death. I just felt like a hamster or a desperado trying to loose weight or trying to be sporty. And the thing is, it doesnt help to loose weight. I jogged on the treadmill for 30 min, but the amt of calories I've burnt was only 106 Cal. This is ridiculous. The 100g of salad I had before going to the gym was already 166 Cal. and that is excluding the toasted bread with cheese I had along with my salad. Arghhhh.... Dumb... I should just skip my salad and stay at home to watch youtube.

COOKing !!!

2009-07-27T10:46:00.001-07:00

I am getting better and better at cooking le.Yeah!!. And I kind of enjoy the act of putting things together and be creative. Cooking for one person is a real challenge. Most food sell in bulk and it is always a real challenge to finish them before they go bad. Hence, cooking becomes something that I need to strategise. Sometime my meals would make up of a variety of "turning bad soon" ingredients. But this is the time when ur creative juice starts to flow. I made afew successful attempts and now I am so into cooking. Not that I like the act of cooking but more of the sweet taste of success I get out of it. Any one who knows me well would know that I was never into or never good at cooking. In fact, my first 2.5 months'cookings were real terrible. I was pathetically having only pasta, salad, tasteless "mixed rice" >>> ( frozen veggies + rice) and hours of scrubbing burnt pans.

Well, I am very shocked by my own progress too. I think the time I started picking up my cooking skills was when I stepped out of my comfort zone. I ditched my pasta and tasteless mixed rice and started cooking something more challenging. I checked out online recipes and equipped myself with more seasoning, sauces, spices, etc.... And also most importantly, a non-stick pan !!! hahaha....

One of the websites that help me kick start my cooking adventure is the "crazykoreancooking":
www.crazykoreancooking.blogspot.com

The two girls are so funny and crazy. They would sing , dance and act during their cooking demo. Some videos even have storylines. Check it out if u have time!

Shopping Spree....

2009-07-24T14:11:00.001-07:00

Yeah.. I LOVE SHOPPING !!!
I went shopping today with my colleagues. We actually knocked off from work earlier just to go shopping. hahaha... I got 3 tops, 1 jeans, 1 skirt and 1 dress in total. The summer sales is really good. I got 4 items from Zara and they cost me less than 40 Euro. muahahaha.... I wanna change my image from now on. I gonna buy more girly stuffs. More skirts, more dresses and more flowery tops. heheh...

And after shopping we actually did a very girly thing. We went over to someone's place and start having a fashion parade. I have not done this for the longest time. In fact, I realised that I dont even have shopping kakis in Singapore. Hmm....We shall have shopping + fashion parade session more often.

I'm Loving it~~~

The Ultimatum

2009-07-22T14:44:00.000-07:00

I just finished The Ultimatum. Yeah! I know u will say its a stupid Mediacorp drama. But I have to admit that I really like it. Haha... Maybe I am just too deprived of chinese dramas over here. I am really glad that I have finished it. My viewing habit is really unhealthy. I would watch all night and not do anything else. My house is in a mess now, my dishes and laundry are pilling up too. I didnt cook a single proper meal during this time. My friends said I am very "focus" but on the wrong thing. haha.... I just couldnt help it. I once watched a korean drama non-stop for 20 hours. I had only cereal for all my meals. Yupp... This is how FOCUS I can get. Hehehe... Please do not intro any more drama to me for the time being. I need to start cleaning up my apartment and start cooking proper meals le.

Some updates!

2009-07-12T10:12:00.001-07:00

My life was sooo hectic after I got back from Greece. Right after my Greece trip, I headed to Eastern Europe and covered 6 countries within 8 days. Yupp, it was that crazy. I think I had enough of traveling for the time being. Too much traveling is bad cos u will start to lose excitement and enthusiasm. I must learn to space out my traveling trips to maybe once every two months. Btw, Please put Greek islands on your "MUST GO" list. It is such an amazing place. I fell head over heel in love with Santorini. And I heard Mykonos is even nicer than Santorini. I am definitely going back to Greece again. As for Eastern Europe, I love Vienna best. I love the music cultural scene there. Just walk into any church and u will likely to catch some amazingly good choir or orchestra. The night scene was also very romantic there. I will try to upload the photos in my facebook.

But dont get jealous of me too soon. My life here is not just abt traveling. My work has started to get very very busy. I need to reach my office at 7am every morning and only leave the office at around 6pm. And by right, I should be preparing for my presentation to the senior mangement right now but I am blogging away to escape from it. The thought of giving a presentation to a panel of big shots just haunts me. Arggh..... lets skip this topic now.

Oh yes, I have received my first speeding tix. It comes with my photo. Hahaha... I cant deny it now. Luckily, I exceeded by only 6km/h so the fine is only 15 Euro. I looked really hilarious in the picture. My mouth was opened maybe due to the shock from the flash. Haha....

Santorini... here I come

2009-06-10T07:59:00.000-07:00

After a lousy week, I finally have something good to share. My boss told me that the company will help to pay for the damage of my car. Yeah!!! I saved 550 Euro!!!

And I am going to Santorini, Greece tml... Let me give some preview to the island.

Finally...

2009-06-05T13:06:00.002-07:00

Finally got my internet connection in my apartment! It was such a long wait. Really cant stand the inefficiency of German service. Can u believe that my bank draft took 6 weeks to clear and I waited for one whole month to get my internet connected. It is ridiculous...

Anyway, my stay in Germany has been so far so good. But I was really unlucky last week. I got flashed by the speed camera on Wed and hit my car on Sat. Dont worry, it was nothing serious. I just hit an obstacle while moving off. But the car door was very badly damaged though. It could not be opened. I was damm sianz throughout the long weekend.It was my first accident and I seriously did not know what is the procedure like in Germany. And to make matter worse, the operator at the hotline cannot speak English. So I needed up having to come up with different words to describe the accident. Firstly, I said I banged my car onto a barrier but she could not understand that. So I said I hit my car onto a barrier and she still cannot understand. So I tried to say I met with an accident and she immediately asked me if I have called the police. And insist that I should call the police. Haiz... . It was after much effort that she realised that I did not bang into another car. I changed the car but I am expected to pay an excess of 550 Euro for the damage. I really hope that my company will help to pay for the damage. Haiz...

My New Apartment!!!

2009-05-10T23:34:00.000-07:00

I just moved into my new apartment on Friday. The apartment is situated in the heart of the city centre. It is super convenient. However, the immediate surrounding of my building is not very pretty and the building looks rather old.
This was how my studio apartment looked originally. It is quite small, probably the size of a big master bedroom only. Nonetheless, the place has been refurnished and the furniture looks pretty decent as well. I did some rearrangement and went to Ikea to get addition stuffs to inject some personality into the room.

The new arrangement! I love my bright green sofa the most. The black and white pillow is rather expensive but I thought it goes quite well with my sofa. Hehe…

I have not finished decorating the room. I will buy a standing lamp to be placed at the left hand corner of the living room area. I will change the bed sheet. The bed sheet looks really awful and doesn’t go well with my style. I probably buy an orange-red or pink bed sheet to go with the 2 big red pillows I have gotten to be placed on my bed. Oh yes, I also need to drill holes to hang my mirror on the wall. I don’t like the study table as well. Still considering if I should throw it out. I will post the complete version soon, hopefully.

Something interesting to share:

I saw this outside Ikea. Its very common to have a place to “Park” your dog. Germans are dog lovers and many people bring their dog out to practically everywhere.

Some updates...

2009-04-21T07:49:00.000-07:00

I haven been updating my blog as often as I would wish to due to the limited internet access in my hotel. Anyway, its has been a week since I arrived in germany. Everything seems good. My company has taken very good care of us and all my German colleagues seem to welcome us with much hospitality. Just check out my facebook for my recent photos.

The only grunt I have is the language barrier. We actually have to translate all our training document into English using online free translation softwares. This took up a hell lot of time for us. I felt so handicapped. Everything is German, including the computer settings and menus at the canteen. Argh..well, I guess I would be quite proficient in German by the end of the 18 months here.

And oh yes, Driving! I am very proud of myself for being able to drive on the left hand side with much ease. hehe.... Maybe cos I am driving a Mercedes Benz. Hahaha... dont be jealous! Just come to Germany and u will have a chance to ride in it too! It is a norm to drive Merc, volkwagen or Audi.

That' s all for now... Tschüss!

2009-04-16T22:25:00.000-07:00

My Mercedes Benz car key.... Will take the pic of my car another time cos it was raining outside.

I'm leaving on a Jet plane....

2009-04-12T20:09:00.000-07:00

I always have been nonchalant abt my departure until today... Suddenly, I see it coming... I will be leaving my homeland, love ones and friends behind for 18 months.... I am feeling so frighten now... Not knowing if I am able to adapt to the new environment and faces. But I know, I am a strong girl. Keep moving on. Jia you Shiqi!

Thank you everyone for your well wishes, gifts and farewell dinners. I am truly touched by you guys... I will be updating my blog as often as I can... bye....

My last day of work...

Satan holds a clearance sale

Conscious of the need to move with the
times, Satan decided to sell off a large part of
his stock of temptations. He placed an
advertisement in the newspaper and spent the
whole of the next day attending to customers in
his workshop.

There were some amazing items for sale:
stones on which the virtuous could stumble,
mirrors that increased one's own sense of
importance and spectacles that diminished other
people's importance. Hanging on the wall were
a few other prize objects: a dagger with a curved
blade for stabbing people in the back and tape
recorders that recorded only gossip and lies.

'Don't worry about the price!' cried old
Satan to any potential customers. 'Take it away
with you today and pay me when you can!'
One visitor noticed two much-used tools
that had been relegated to a corner. They didn't
look anything special, but they were very
expensive. Curious, he asked the reason for this
apparent discrepancy.

'They're both very worn because they're the
tools I use most,' said Satan, laughing. 'I
wouldn't want them to be too noticeable
because then people would know how to
protect themselves against them. But they're
both worth the asking price: one is Doubt and
the other is a Sense of Inferiority. When all
other temptations fail, those two always work.'

Wow... I didnt know that part of me yet..

Friends Forever.... Forever Friends...

2009-02-22T19:01:00.000-08:00

Something caught my eyes while I was walking home that day. Two secondary school boys, sharing a bicycle cycled passed me. One of them was standing and was holding on to another. They were happily laughing and chatting away. I smiled at how much fun they were having and less than 3 mintues later, another bicycle passed by. This time, 2 old men in their late sixties were on it. Again, one was holding on to another and they were laughing and chatting away....

I seemed to have walked through the passage of time. The two school boys seemed to have grown old and became the two old men on the bicycle.

I started to wonder......
Do I have a friend whom I can grow old with? A friend whom I can always hold on to? A friend whom I can share ridiculous jokes with, a friend whom I can lament on our yesterdays or simply a friend who will say " Those were the days......" in perfect harmony with me.

Coming Soon...

2009-02-09T00:33:00.000-08:00

Yes... Finally got the correct password to sign in here. I didnt mean to desert this blog for this long but I just couldnt remember my password. OK.. I shall jot it down and blog more frequently.

Check it out the next time (not this time round though). hehe...

Anger

2008-06-01T07:35:00.000-07:00

Suddenly, it just dawn on me that I have been acting like a fool. As I was overthrown by anxiety, panic and the mounting pressure to find a job to provide for my family, I wondered if he was also feeling the same. Or this does not bother him in any ways? Why am I the one worrying so much, why am I the one feeling useless when it is actually his rightful duty all along.

Memories...Seek and u shall find??

2008-03-07T21:31:00.001-08:00

Looking back on good memories has always been a sweet thing to do. However, there is something about memories that i have learnt- NEVER seek as you shall NEVER find. Many times, I found memories so addictive. I got so caught up with them and loose sight with the timeframe I'm now in. I seek out for them but only to know that I cant find them back again. Disappointments after disappointments.... And I have came to a conclusion that memories are just meant to be kept in the heart and not for us to seek out.

A friend whom I have gone through thick and thin with during my days in Vancouver was habouring plans to visit our frens in Vancouver. As we are discussing about it excitedly, I suddenly quietened down. Maybe it is not a good idea afterall. I am so afraid that I will experience another disappointment. Those memories that I have are so perfect in my eyes. What if things are not the same anymore when we go back? Our environment changes and so do people. How can we be sure that everything is still the same? What if I cannot find back those memories? Will my once perfect memories got tinted as well? I really dont know.

2007.....2008

2007-12-29T19:55:00.000-08:00

Well well well.... I am on my last page of year 2007 planner. Well... I guess everything must come to an end. I need a new planner, a new calendar and a new chapter in life....

In retrospect, life in the year 2007 can be likened to a ride down a deep valley. There were just so many things I wanted to change and yet I couldnt. Everytime when I felt so empowered to change something in my life, reality will just slam right onto my face. But whatever... for every trough, there is a crest. There's no point looking back.

2008, Here I come!!!

I will not be trapped or lost anymore, for I know I will be guided. I will let my faith guide me through this new year.

Trapped... And Cant Moved On....

2007-08-29T20:22:00.000-07:00

No matter how much I wanted to pick up those broken pieces in me to start anew, things just keep coming back to haunt me.

I thought my life is back to normal,
I thought I have moved on ,
I though I have forgotten about the betrayal

But I guessed it is only my wishful thinking...

Again, I felt trapped.
Trapped in this situation,
Trapped in the state of self-pity...

I'm back...

2006-12-04T11:40:00.000-08:00

Back to blogging again... For anyone who feels concerned about my last blog entry, I am here to tell you that I am back, bouncing back higher than ever...

There are many things in life that we cannot control or manipulate. Yet, we still have the power to choose our responses to those problems. So, instead of crying over spilled milk, I have chosen to move on and work hard to lead my desired life.

Aza Aza Fighting!!!!

Because of You

2006-10-16T23:25:00.000-07:00

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you, I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you, I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you, I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Another disappearance, another disappointment.
You have caused me so much misery that I have lost all my emotions, I can only be indifferent now

Please do not take away my smile
Please wipe away my tears....

Hang in there!

2006-10-16T23:18:00.000-07:00

Sometimes Life hands you lemons,
But U can make lemonade.

Of Course, Sometimes Life pulls down your pants,
Runs a power sander across your naked butt,
then pours lemon juice on your abraded buttocks.

In that Case, a cool citrus drink wouldnt really help
But darn it....
I STILL have to hang in there anyway!

Aza Aza Fighting!!!!

Freak..

2006-10-15T23:04:00.000-07:00

I am a korean drama freak! My life now evolved around korean dramas. Completed both "Full House" and "My Girl" within 4 consecutive nights and "Goong" in only 1.5 days. Ultimate!!! My eyes are popping out in no time.

I felt proud of my triumph initially. But it really freaks me out now. I should GET A LIFE!!!
I truly regreted wasting my precious weekend watching Goong. It is not that its bad but this is just not how I should have spent my weekend. Esp when my days in Vancouver are numbered.

Haiz... When can I persuade myself to stop watching all these melodramatic love stories which might not even exist in real life.... Living in a make-believe world was what I have been doing for the past week. Pretending to be the actress, feel for her, empathise with her and longing to be loved just like her...

WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!

Joke of the Day!

2006-09-30T23:59:00.000-07:00

My roommate used green apple scented detergent to wash her apples!!!

We have 2 different kinds of detergent beside the kitchen sink. One with a picture of a green apple and another showing a picture of oranges. And so.... she thought the formal is to wash apples and the later is to wash oranges.
Hmmm...... I wonder why she didnt wonder where are other detergents for other fruits and veggies.

Speaking in riddles...

2006-09-11T20:58:00.000-07:00

Which is heavier? A pack of lies or a pack of truths. Which one needs the most strength to carry around? I have no idea... Time will tell....

Welcome to my kennel!!!

2006-08-31T23:02:00.000-07:00

This was the state of my apartment when I first moved in. Shocked, devasted and disillusioned... Haiz...

Finally...

2006-08-18T13:18:00.000-07:00

I am so happy today... Finally, I can conclude on my mini project. Well, the aim of the project is really simple. All I need to do is to test whether Raman spectroscopy can tell 2 different types of paper apart. And the conclusion is No, it cant. Well well well... this may sound really stupid right? I spent 3 weeks on it and have to accept the fact that the results are indeterminate. Haa.. But my prof told me that I have made an important discovery!!! " When u found out there are differences between the 2 papers, its an important discovery in science. But it is also an equally important discovery to find out that there are no differences. And saying I dont know is not an option because it is when u started out from." This is so true... I always have the impression that I need positive results and they are what I am seeking for. Sometimes, this really blurred ur vision on things. Through this mini project, I have learnt that negative results do not mean bad results and they are definitely better than no results. hehe....

My slacking days are over..... Time to slog!!!. More projects, more work and more results... Yeah!!!

48 hours of Madness!

2006-08-06T21:53:00.000-07:00

My weekends are always full of madness and its getting crazier each week. Went out on Friday morning and only back on Sat night. Well well... I know Friday was a working day but who cares... Bet my prof didnt even know I wasnt there... So the 2 days were packed with activities.... Shopping at Yelltown and Ikea, KTV session, Mahjong cum drinking session, Tim Sum, Strolling at the beach, cooking & movie session at my place.

I think we have travelled milesssss in that 2 days. And I'm starting to like the idea of reeling down the car windows and blasting music. I know we are public nuisance but nobody actually give a damm abt it. But if we ever do this in Singapore, we would probably be cursed and sweared at...

Anyway, the highlight for the 2 days would be the cooking session at my place. Jonathan who doesnt seem to look like someone who can cook, can in actual fact cook very well... So never judge a book by its cover ya....

The Gang of Four!!!

Our Master Chef!!!

Guess what... Coke was used in almost all dishes.. Surprise Surprise!!!!

Bored bored bored....

2006-08-03T16:19:00.000-07:00

Didnt go work today since there is nothing to do there anyway. So I was all alone at home blasting my music but I still felt so quiet, so lonely... A paradox I have never experienced before...

It is so ironical... I used to enjoy my personal space alot but grumbled that I didnt have enough. Now, I can have all the private moments that I want. YET, I still grumble about it. I am never satisfied...

I started a blog thinking that I can share my thoughts with my friends... But the truth is, I cant... At least not all of them. There are things that I do not have the courage to share and things that I have to censor away. In the end, my blog ended up to be just another cut and paste master piece... So I am back to square one....

Which button would u press?

2006-08-01T16:24:00.000-07:00

I was isolated in the cramp and dirty lab of mine for the whole day. Its a challenge to work in there. The fact that I have to squeeze through teeny-weeny spaces to reach for what I needed is a challenge itself. And trying to occupy myself with something to do while waiting for my prof is also another challenge.

Having starred at the computer for at least 5 hours, I have a thought...

Press "Delete" to erase those memories that you wish to forget
Press "F1" when you need help desperately
Press "Esc" when you want to avoid a dire situation
Press "Restart" when you screwed your life up
And Press "Shut down" when you have had enough.....

Which button would you press now???

Crazy Weekend

2006-07-31T22:39:00.000-07:00

Back from the weekend! The weekend was definitely jam packed with activities.

Friday night: Went to a Mongolian resturant for dinner. The dinner was something like buffet style. You put your chosen ingredients in a bowl and mix it up with the sauces that u want. Then, you pass it to the chefs who will be cooking in circular motion at a big round hot stove. Ya. Circular! They will walk around the stove while cooking. Like merry-go-round...

Saturaday: Was reading my " Who moved my cheese?" book. I think the book was over-rated. Nonetheless, I found one of the quotes really good.
" What Would You Do If You weren't Afraid?"
We are always afraid to do this and that. Afraid to change, afraid to venture out... So just ask yourself this when u want to do something that you have been afraid of.
At night, I met up with our usual gang of four. We went to watch the firework competition and it was damm good. The best I have seen so far... Later that night, we went to chill out at Anderson's place. As usual, we stayed till the next morning.

Sunday: If that is not crazy enough, I have more to offer. With just 3 hours of sleep, we still manage to comb the whole Stanley park. Whahaa... thumb up! So its over??? Not yet... We crossed the Lion gate and landed ourselves in North Vancouver. Drove around aimlessly and decided to watch " Devil wears Prada". So the wheels spun tirelessly back to downtown Vancouver.

What a weekend!!!

The Secret Life of Bees

2006-07-28T17:17:00.000-07:00

Jus finished reading a novel called The secret life of bees. It is so beautifully written... So moving and deeply satisfying. The beautiful language makes my heart aches so much that I have to place my hand on my chest to prevent it from falling out.

Addressing the wounds of loss, betrayal and the scaricity of love, the author demostrates the power of women coming together to heal those wounds, to mother each other and to create a sanctuary of true family and home.

Totally amazed by this amazing book. Wanting more, I went back to the same bookstore to get 2 others. (But before I hit the town, I went back to the office to double check that my Prof is still on leave. And he is... Whaha... Now, I can go in peace.) Okie, so the 2 books that I've gotten are " The pretty Details of so-and-so's Life" and "Who move my Cheese?" Paid up and felt so so broke... But who cares.... Books are like food for the mind and soul. Our mind and soul need to be fed just like our stomach. If not, they will be starved to death. And that is the worst thing that can happen to anyone....

You know, I used to envy writers cos they can write beautiful stories. However, I just realised that I am the author of my own life story. Whether it will turn out beautiful or not, I dont know, cos "the rest is still unwritten"... (Hopefully Natasha Bedingfield would not sue me for that. hee...) And I have to give my special thanks to Kenneth who gave me a nice bright pink notebook to help kick start my writing journey. Thanks Kenneth....

Manz... I guess I wrote too much. I just have TOOO MUCH free time you see..... Somehow, I really felt I am living in a world of make-believe over here. I know things would not be the same when I am back in Singapore, where realities set in.... Will I still have the time to read and enjoy my novel? Will I still have the time to write my life stories? Will I still live for the moment? I doubt so... Haiz... reality do bite....

Life and Death

2006-07-27T11:24:00.000-07:00

Received a sad news this morning. My boyfriend's grandma has passed away. It came as a sudden, no signs, no warnings... She just left us... peacefully... She was an amiable woman. A woman who will be dearly missed by all...

My boyfriend told me that she will be united with his grandfather in heaven. I felt a sense of comfort all of a sudden. Maybe death is really an reunion and not just separation alone. This really makes me ponder about the life and death issues. What is life and what is death? And I came to the conclusion that life and death are not absolute. If someone lives in your heart, he lives on till eternity(or till he no longer has a place in your heart). However, if someone doesnt even exist in your heart, he seems dead to you even though he is physically alive.

And she lives on in my heart.....

I really hope I can be back home to give the support the family needs but all I can do is to send my condolences through this entry...

5. 1 cosy cafe on a lazy street
6. Firework to sum up the day

All the ingredients are pretty simple except the last one maybe, but firework is just an icing on the cake. Its really not that essential for us to make our perfect day anyway.
YET... Its this kind of simplicity that we can hardly find in this complex world... Its so simple yet so complicated... so elusive...

So What are your definition of a perfect day???

Not Again!!!

My professor has gone on another 1 week leave. Arghh... I have no idea when am I able to start doing my research. It has been 1 month and 13 days since I am here but I have not done anything productive. Really hated the idea that I am wasting my time here. But then again, its my first time in my life that I have so much free time on hand. So much of it that I actually created a blog. whaha... I know creating a blog is not so much a big deal, but for a gal who hates the computer(hmm.. I think it should be another way round), its really a BIG achievement. Hehe...

Well... I think its really good to idle once in awhile. I used to be so caught up with my school work, my TV shows and other stuffs that I have no time for the small little things around me. But now, I have learnt to go slow and observe the happenings around me.

This is my favourite place to reflect and idle around. I love to sit there for hours to enjoy the scenery, the sun and the breeze...There are mountains,water, clear blue sky and a beautiful garden.... What else can u ask for ???

Haiz... If Only Life can be this Simple... If only....

A MAJOR Milestone for me!

My first ever blog entry. hehe... Have been thinking of blogging a long time ago but was just too lazy to create one.(okok.... I shall admit that i dont even know how to create one in the first place.) Finally, I have conquered all odds... Yeah!

Its yet another lazy afternoon.... All alone in the office....(The best time to create a blog. Whahaha!!!) Well, I have always been a passive blogs reader ever since I'm in Canada. But I shall change this fact TODAY!
