I’ve been nominated for this year’s Singapore Blog Awards by OMY.sg. Thanks for finally taking notice of my humble blog Alvin!

This year, the prizes for each winner of the ten categories get to bring home the following:

• A trophy designed by famous artist, Mr. Tan Swie Hian
• S$500 shopping vouchers from Play Smart Pte Ltd
• A Phuket hotel accommodation from one of the following hotels, courtesy of Asia Web Direct
• A Koka’s Value-Added Pack (worth $55.00). Contains: All Koka’s Flavours
• A $200 movie premium hamper from United International Pictures
• The top 5 most voted bloggers across the ten main categories will also walk away with a HTC Diamond (worth S$1,098) each (This I don’t think I’ll win. But if I do, I will give it out too!)

So this is what I’m going to do. IF I win, I’m going to give away all the above to my blog readers! YES! Including that trip to Phuket! How to be part of this sweepstake is simple. All you need to do is to Rally for my blog under the category “Best Lifestyle Blog Award“. (Rally means to vote for me lah!) After you’ve done that, leave me a message in this post with your real email address please so that I can get in touch with you IF I win.

I’ve been spending too much of my time lately staring at my twitter page. And I’d wanted to create my own twitter background since long ago, but just didn’t get down to it. *lazy me!*

Yesterday, while setting up and designing the new skin for 24seven.sg, I decided to do a quick and simple background for my own twitter too. And this is what I got!

i is a happy girl now! i can stare at my twitter page 24/7 and will never get sad cos i has got a nice background.

Go check out my new twitter page today! Follow me if you’re on twitter too!

Claudia thought the previous theme was clean and simple. But the fluid width is getting onto her nerve. She cannot controls how her posts look like with images aligned to the sides. And she tried fixing the width but she failed. So she went ahead and changed the theme again.

Still simple and nice and now with a fixed width for her post.

She’s 30% happy with it now. She needs more time to make the remaining 70% of her happy. So this blog is going to be staying the 30% happiness for now till she finds time in the middle of a couple more night to fix it.

Time to sleep now.

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

And the forgetful-claudia in me had to do the theme change on the possibly highest-traffic-for-the-year day! I’m such a fool!

Anyway, since I’m on the topic of analytic, thought I should share my top content hits for the year so far, from Jan 1, 2009 to today.

1. National Geographic Store in Singapore
2. Almost an iPhone – Samsung F480
3. Let’s Talk About Sex! (For females only!)
4. CtG reviews the Lenovo S10 IdeaPad
5. My 1st Speed Dating… On Singapore Flyer!
6. A VERY familiar Tiger Beer Model Spotted!
7. Great Year of the Ox for me!
8. CtG Review – Samsung Innov8

Have you read any of the above posts before?

By the way, the above traffic are mostly from search engines. Is your blog optimised for search engines? One of the things you should do is to change/ check that your permalink is not some random numbers. Update that if you can. On wordpress, you can find this under settings > permalinks.

Life’s complex. Why have a complex blog too? So its back to basic.

Also removed google ads from the sidebar, since its not making me any money anyway. Now all I need is time to fill this blog with content that’s going to be key – the challenge of a simple blog.

Last blog theme change was in Nov 08.

be it with your love one or alone.

Hope you will feel the love no matter where you are, what you’re doing, who you are, how you’re feeling, why you’re not celebrating or when will we ever meet… enjoy the compilation and have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
