			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I scrolled through my recent posts and realised this blog of mine is getting lesser and lesser attention from myself and very sadly, its getting even less personal than before. </p>
<p>There are so many life changing things happening this year but I&#8217;m not able to share them out loud here. Its sad but somethings are better left private. Even had to change my Facebook security settings to ensure things that are not to be public remains hidden. </p>
<p>Wish my life was simpler. But I&#8217;m living it to the fullest I&#8217;m sure!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re trying to dig anything from here about my present and future life, I&#8217;m sorry you won&#8217;t be getting much of it. This will become the public domain where I share things I come across occasionally that interests me or may interests you.</p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t stop visiting. There&#8217;s always the giveaway and once-in-a-blue-moon surprises in here. I promise.</p>
<p>In another news, have you seen <strong><a href="http://rediscover.sg">Rediscover Singapore</a></strong>? Its so cool I&#8217;m so in love with it! Many exciting things rolling out there soon! I love my crew! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Hi! I&#8217;m the blog.</em> </p>
<p>Claudia the Panda is busy and has not been updating me as regularly as before. And I&#8217;m sad. </p>
<p>Two years ago, she would share her adventures with me the very same night; or sometimes almost instantly as the event unfolds as she live blog. When she does that, I get many hits and link love. I was loving every moment of it then. But now, I get hit and missed almost as fast as you can read &#8220;Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious&#8221;. </p>
<p>I sensed that many of my relatives are having the same problem too. The owner gets too busy with work or overwhelmed with the number of happenings around her, and we get ignored. When owners ignore us for too long, we die a silent and painful death. </p>
<p>You see, I come from a huge family of many even larger families. Our god (<em>Google</em>) is a very powerful one. We worship her religiously, without her shine of light on us, we will never get any hit at all. When that happens, we die. Many of my relatives died tragically and I don&#8217;t want that to happen to me. I want our god to keep shining her almighty light on me and keep me alive.</p>
<p>Claudia the Panda seemed to have diverted her attention to new sisters and brothers of mine which I never ever wished for! There is <a href="http://ladieswithtech.com">the one for ladies and tech</a>, <a href="http://rediscover.sg">the one for rediscovering Singapore</a>, <a href="http://claudialim10.blogspot.com">the one where she post via email</a>, <a href="http://yusri-claudia.blogspot.com">the one for her and her man</a> and <a href="http://blogpress.sg">the one where she doesn&#8217;t know what the hell she&#8217;s doing with</a>. And I wonder what other siblings of mine are brewing in her mind! Why can&#8217;t she just focus on me alone? Aren&#8217;t I good enough for her?</p>
<p>I wish Claudia the Panda will keep posting content in me. Feed me with text love and help me get link love. I don&#8217;t want to die. I want to be loved like before. I want to get hit the moment she returns from an event. I want to get link love because of her lovely photos she takes of people at these great events. Ok, for this, I blame the my relative&#8217;s big brother (<em>Facebook</em>). Ever since he came into the world, Claudia the Panda only uploads photo to Facebook and tag people there, she no longer share it in me. My love and hits had all gone to the relative&#8217;s big brother. I&#8217;m sad.</p>
<p>If you are a friend of Claudia the Panda, please tell her to stop neglecting me. Tell her that she need to continue to love me and fill me up so that I can be kept alive.</p>
<p>Thank you very much for reading this.</p>
<p>Needing lots of content and love,<br />
<strong><em>The Blog of Claudia the Panda</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a quick update before I shower and catch some sleep&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve decided to separate my personal life with my professional life. (I&#8217;m trying to.) First baby step is to separate my rumblings and personal shoutings and professional related sharing digitally. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I tweeted, on a Sunday morning, while I was still lazing in bed refusing to get my ass out of bed. But it was at that moment where the inspiration and idea came to mind. </p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4537404655_707719e798.jpg" class="aligncenter"></p>
<p>After four years of blogging or what I call story sharing, I was feeling tiresome doing the same thing. Though there are the occasional urge to share what I did over the weekend and all, but those are shared in mini-blurbs on the other blog of mine. With the battlefield I fight daily at work, I find it even more challenging to maintain a blog like I used to. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always got thoughts and point of view which I want to voice out here, but when I finally get some time to sit and type, all these points just disappeared. Like I&#8217;d said before, I would really really love to have a gadget to record everything I have in mind and put them in written notes. That&#8217;ll be ultra cool! Till the day someone knock on my door with that power device, I could only wish.</p>
<p>So that Sunday morning, a thought of this monthly thinggy came to mind. It has been something which I&#8217;d wanted to do all these while, but never really set my mind to. So now that I&#8217;m going to set aside a few days each month to get this mini-project of mine going, I&#8217;m excited about the possibilities! </p>
<p>Before I slowly unveil this thinggy, I would like you to make a guess. What do you think this ReFresh! of mine will be? <i><b>ReFresh!</b></i> may not be the name I&#8217;ll be using, just a generic noun to call this monthly thinggy. (ReFresh! sounds better than the monthly thinggy right? The latter sounds like&#8230; &#8220;Aiyah&#8230; my monthly thinggy is here!&#8221;)</p>
<p>Go ahead, make a guess&#8230;<br />
<center><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.seashellapp.com/public/embed/poll_8D68uMDX.js"></script></center></p>
<p>By the way, the above mini poll is created with the <a href="http://seashellapp.com">Seashellapp</a>, which is created by one of my inspirational people on earth, <a href="http://yongfook.com">Jon</a>. I&#8217;ve been using his other creation, <a href="http://peashootapp.com">Peashootapp</a> for almost a year, and I&#8217;m loving it still! Go give these cute and useful apps a look see?</p>
<p>Now back to my drawing board for this monthly thinggy/ ReFresh! I&#8217;m masterminding&#8230; *coughs*</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing I love about keeping a blog is being able to look back at what I&#8217;ve done in the past and smile at those beautiful memories. Before we move forward to a smashing good year in 2010, I&#8217;m going to do a flash back of what happened in 2009, a very short and quick one.<span id="more-5289"></span></p>
<h3>January 2009</h3>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3497/3198684319_46722ca319.jpg" class="aligncenter"><br />
My best experience that month is 101% the opportunity to go <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/01/onboard-puma-vo70-at-singapore-stopover/">out to sea on the Puma V070</a>. If I have a chance, I would love to do it again!</p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3375/3202084390_f07fe5d0cc.jpg" class="aligncenter"><br />
Then there&#8217;s the <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/01/kampong-buangkok-15-final-batch-of-photos/">visit to the last kampong in Singapore</a> where I snap quite a lot of pretty photos.</p>
<h3>February 2009</h3>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3438/3249580251_a5549b97fd.jpg" class="aligncenter"><br />
This was the month where my face was <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/02/my-round-face-in-straits-times-prime-news/">featured on the cover of ST</a> with only a small part of mentions in the Prime News section.</p>
<p>That month, I also started a new column on my blog to record my experience as my own boss called &#8220;<a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/02/claud-the-panda-entrepreneur/">Claud the Panda Entrepreneur</a>.</p>
<h3>March 2009</h3>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3415/3335524238_ca7fdcf4a8.jpg" class="aligncenter"><br />
Oh March! What a month that was! The <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/03/blogout-2009-ended-with-mixed-of-emotions/">hard work and sweat put into BlogOut09</a> was well worth it. Got the chance to finally meet <a href="http://yongfook.com">Jon</a> in person and got to know more about <a href="http://www.socializedpr.com/">Joel Postman</a> too.</p>
<h3>April 2009</h3>
<p>In April, I got back to <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/04/ctg-im-mousing/">using a mouse</a>, <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/04/ohhh-i-want-to-do-bad-things-with-you/">bitten by vampires</a>, caught my <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/04/departures-okuribito/">favorite movie in 2009</a> and organised <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/04/tweet-tuesday-whats-it-about/">Tweet Tuesday</a> with <a href="http://darkholme.pseudoplace.com/">Kelvin</a>.</p>
<h3>May 2009</h3>
<p>May was quite a crazy month. I had one of the highest traffic hit on my blog thanks to <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/05/the-search-for-n-begins/">Search for N contest</a> with Nokia. Also attended my <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/05/web-standards-group-singapore-meetup/">first WebSG meetup</a> and met Lucian.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3305/3558984125_390ba247ae.jpg" class="aligncenter"></p>
<p>And I did an impromptu decision to <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/05/trip-to-bangkok-and-barcampbkk3/">fly to Bangkok with Diana for Barcamp</a>! Still can&#8217;t believe I did that! But it was great experience! Seeing how Barcamp is ran in BKK was an eyeopener, and the shopping and massages with Diana were ermm&#8230; unforgettable!  </p>
<p>That month, I was also <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/05/interview-with-zbnow-on-twitter/">featured in zbNow</a> with Pat and Howie. </p>
<h3>June 2009</h3>

Highlights for this month was my <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/06/bandung-the-shoppers-paradise/">trip with Abang to Bandung</a> and getting the role of &#8220;<a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/06/learn-animation-with-n-e-mation-4/">official storyteller</a>&#8221; for <a href="http://nemation.wordpress.com">N.E.mation 4</a>! It was an amazing journey with the students and people behind N.E.mation. Will share more when it comes to an end in February 2010.</p>
<h3>July 2009</h3>

<p><img src="http://claudia.sg/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Collages-300x300.jpg" class="aligncenter"><br />

<h3>September 2009</h3>
<p>Three great experiences in September! I&#8217;m marking this the most happening month for me, my team and 24seven! </p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2434/3958681749_34e2719592_o.jpg" class="aligncenter"><br />
First I got a chance to have a <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/09/dining-in-the-sky-no-not-in-the-plane-lah/">romantic dinner with Abang in the sky</a>.

<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2547/3959769644_f5e9af5856.jpg" class="aligncenter"><br />
And I finally got to <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/09/experiencing-f1-night-race-singapore-gp/">check out SGP</a> live! Though not the final race day, but getting to see the F1 cars up close was WOW!</p>

November is <a href="http://claudia.sg/2009/11/happy-birthday-yasmin/">Yasmin</a> month! Though we may not get to see her on the actual day, but we&#8217;ll surely not miss celebrating it with her.

<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2517/4160598940_2653eaa186.jpg" class="aligncenter"></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="box">Dear Santa,</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been waiting for you for almost 30 years, but you&#8217;ve still not found me. Guess I&#8217;ve been on your naughty list all these years. I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;ve done to stay there for so long, but I&#8217;ve always tried my best to be nice to everyone around me. Perhaps I&#8217;ve been misunderstood, but I stay true to who I am, and I know deep down, to those who really know me, know that I&#8217;ve been a nice person. So Santa, will you grant me my wishes for this year? </p>
<p>Here are my wish list if you decide to stamp the &#8220;nice&#8221; chop on my file this year&#8230;</p>
<p>I wish for a Canon EOS 7D, to strike first prize Toto on Monday and Thursday, a big office space for my team, another cat to play with Yuniko, a free shopping spree at Funan, a year supply of cheezels and M&#038;Ms, a house with swimming pool, a new car&#8230; and many many more wishes for me in 2010.</p>
<p>See, its not that difficult to fulfill my wish list right? So Santa, when will you come through my window with your big red bag? I&#8217;ll make sure I&#8217;ve got all kinds of cookies and milk waiting for you by the window ok?</p>
<p>Thank you very much Santa!</p>
<p>XOXO,<br />
Claudia</p></div>
<p>Ok, Claudia! Time to wake up! Go do your Christmas Shopping lah! Stop dreaming! Quick wish your readers merry christmas!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Taking small steps to improve and change the directions of this website. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m calling it a blog anymore since I&#8217;m using lesser these days to log my daily encounters. For that I&#8217;ve got <a href="http://claudialim10.blogspot.com">my other blog</a> and my <a href="http://twitter.com/claudia10">twitter</a>. So I am changing the kind of content and purpose here at <strong>Claudia.sg</strong>.</p>
<div id="attachment_4501" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 371px"><img class="size-large wp-image-4501" title="blog-jul09" src="http://claudia.sg/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/blog-jul09-740x1024.jpg" alt="New Blog. New Theme. New Direction." width="361" height="500" /><p class="wp-caption-text">New Blog. New Theme. New Direction.</p></div>
<p>My first step to it is to change the look and feel. Going back to the magazine style which I did <a href="http://claudia.sg/2008/10/ive-changed/">once</a>. Now what I need is a logo that represents my purpose. Will be running a mini contest to call for logo submission soon. Do keep a look out for it.</p>
<p>And with new directions, I am looking out for passionate writers who would like to contribute to this site. Drop me a message <a href="http://claudia.sg/contact/">here</a> and let&#8217;s have a chat.</p>
