One thing I love about keeping a blog is being able to look back at what I’ve done in the past and smile at those beautiful memories. Before we move forward to a smashing good year in 2010, I’m going to do a flash back of what happened in 2009, a very short and quick one.

Ok, Claudia! Time to wake up! Go do your Christmas Shopping lah! Stop dreaming! Quick wish your readers merry christmas!!

Go have a blast!

Taking small steps to improve and change the directions of this website. I don’t think I’m calling it a blog anymore since I’m using lesser these days to log my daily encounters. For that I’ve got my other blog and my twitter. So I am changing the kind of content and purpose here at Claudia.sg.

New Blog. New Theme. New Direction.

My first step to it is to change the look and feel. Going back to the magazine style which I did once. 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.

And with new directions, I am looking out for passionate writers who would like to contribute to this site. Drop me a message here and let’s have a chat.

After a week from blogathon, I’m still not fully adjusted with my inner clock. Two nights within this week of insomnia and the hectic working hours are adding more stress. I need to find time for myself. If only I could stop thinking and doing work after working hours. If only I could take few days leave to give myself the “ME” time. None of that happening anytime soon.

Till I have more ME time, this blog will probably be in hiatus. When I do return, it should hopefully be with a new skin for my blog too.

Have switched my host to Vodien after THC died on me at the most critical timing! But since its a lifetime hosting plan, I’ll have to find purposeful use for it soon. Anyone needs a testing ground?

Hope Vodien will not fail on me. If it can holds Lester’s site well so far, I’m sure mine wouldn’t be of any problem.

Till the day I return… find me on Twitter still.

I will disappear from the online world for the whole of this week. Because we are moving! We needed a bigger place at a cheaper rent. So we are moving out of our cosy little office at The Sail and into the neighbourhood. We love our $3 bowl of noodle and the $14 set lunch was hurting our own wallet a little too much. So we decided to move.

This whole week, expect to see very little of me on Twitter, MSN and don’t expect any blog post. More updates coming after we settle down in our new home office.

If you’re wondering why we need an entire week to move, visit 24seven’s blog next week to find out!

OMG!! I tell you!! I want to scream and than quickly dig a huge hole in the ground and hide inside!! I feel guilty, silly, stupid and a total bimbo right now!

First I would like to thank Kahwee for his rescue and Uzyn for creating the backup host for me which than lead Kahwee to discover that it was the wordpress theme that causes all the problem! Quoting from Kahwee, “didn’t know a theme can be so powerful..” Yes! It was the typography theme that I adored so much that causes it!

Than I have to apologize to my web host – Top Hosting Centre. When my blog went down after the WordPress 2.8 upgrade, the immediate reaction was “WTH is happening to my host!!!??!!” Yap, that I’m sure is the first reaction of most people. This was hyped up even more since the host server was down two weeks ago when I was hosting the Search for N contest. Naturally I submitted a new ticket and demanded for them to get it fixed asap. But after 48hours, they couldn’t tell me what went wrong! Because the direction I thought the error was from was wrong! Its not because of the database crashing but its because of a critical conflict with the wordpress theme! Sooo sorry Sandra from THC for the big boo boo!

Now my blog is back, I feel alive again!! Woohooo!!!

Back to setting up my MBP! Yap! I got it!! More updates in my tweets! And also checked out the setting up qik I live-streamed just now.
