Uanz’s End of Year 2010 Update -Self Reflection

It’s about that time of the year that I need to update this blog. Nearly 6 months have passed & I must say, my life is getting better everyday.

First of all, I’ve sold my Toa Payoh house last August & currently living at my sister’s place in Woodlands for the next 3 years or so. I do have the intention to buy my own place when I’m 35 years old most likely in 2 years time or more depending on the property market. Initially when I shifted to Woodlands, it took me a while to get used to it but as the days goes by, I’m able to cope with it.

I’ve a new hobby recently pick up in the very same month I sold my house. The small tiny fortune that I get from the house was invested into DSLR Canon EOS 7D & the accessories. When I bought this camera, I was actually very excited because it has been my dream since my teenage years to own a SLR camera. Back then in the 90s, DSLR was not invented yet & SLR camera cost a huge amount of money & eventually that fragile teenage dream of mine just fade off.

In the recent 2 years, seeing many of my colleagues owning a DSLR camera makes me envy of them. My long lost teenage urge of owning one slowly resurface again after more than 10 years. Anyway, currently I’m still trying to figure out my own photography style & type that really define myself. I’ve a photoblog for this but it’s still brand new & not much photos yet.

Ok, let’s proceed to other areas of my life.

My work life is still the same as mentioned in my last mid year update.! I still love the job & surprisingly, I took up another responsibility as Assistant Cluster Leader. This is surprising on my part after giving up the Cluster Leader post early this year in January. I guess after the move, I have more time for another responsibilty. The irony to this, I’ve lost my Gebiz facilitator post for my company training department as my school had terminate my gebiz account & given it to another person whom I think are in more needs to have a Gebiz account than me. Fair enough I thought because it means less work for me! Hahaha.. :-)

Now, let’s talk about my love life. Well, I don’t bother about it anymore. I’m more cautious than ever. I’ve tried socialising & making new friends hoping something to happen but seriously, I just don’t have it anymore in myself. It seems that I just do it because of people are constantly telling me to socialise & make new friends. Maybe it’s still too early to find love or maybe I have trust issue with new people. You know, there’s always a question that always pop out in my mind. In 4 or 5 years down the road, people will change their heart so why bother putting myself into the line again & get hurt all over again 4 or 5 years later.! Then there is another issue where you have to work super hard to make sure the relationship works well with myself & my daughter. Can you see the complications coming to me if I have another new partner?

New WordPress 3 Thelonious & Twenty Ten Theme

WordPress 3.0 has been released by WordPress.org & I have upgraded my blog to the latest version 3.0 Thelonious. I also took the trouble to change my blog layout using the new Twenty Ten Theme that comes together with version 3.0

It took me a while to fine tune the other widgets to make it more presentable & easier to view. However, I still think I need to change my header. It’s time for me to play again with photoshop. Hahaha.

So why do I change the layout after been using the Mandigo theme for almost 3 years? The reason is simple. I just need a new fresh simple look on my blog. I also need it to load much faster. Mandigo theme is very good but its loading time can sometimes takes ages to complete.

Another reason is that this new theme reflects what I want to achieve for this blog. As you already know, this blog has been converted to a personal blog. So the change is bound to happen. Furthermore, Mandigo theme is better for business than personal blog.

I have also realised that my blog is now 3 years old. It started in May of 2007 & it is still standing bearing my name. I’m proud of my name. Hehehe.

This new theme Twenty Ten gives you the freedom of changing your header & background. It also comes with custom menu. One thing why I like this theme is because of its simple white layout. It loads much faster as well.

ok now.. For those who has a wordpress blog, do upgrade to the latest version 3.0 Thelonious. I heard they did 1217 bug fixes & features enhancement!! A must upgrade priority!! & it’s free! Download the latest here.
