So i have finally made most of the customizations and kinda pleased with what i see. If you missed my earlier post, i’m actually in the midst of getting PixelPost to work on my photoblog site - ashotiwoth.net. If you are free and have some free time, please go ahead and give the site a click and run thru. Feel free to comment on the pictures as well.

For now, there’s a few pictures that i processed from the past few shoots are in there. There’ll be more and more coming - just need to get around processing the pictures much faster. I won’t bother with any picture gallery anymore - ashotiwoth.net would be it.

Hosting. It’s all about hosting, especially if you host your own blogs or websites using your own domain. You need some place to host all your files and to display those blog scripts to the world to see. But what do you look in web hosting to determine that you are getting what you are paying for?

I was webhost shopping a while back, and manage to gather some info on the available web hosting companies available. Fat Jack Hosting was one of the many that i looked at that offered competitive package and price. Shared hosting from US$4.97/month, VPS hosting from US$49/month - looks promising with the package given as well.

The loading time at Fat Jack Hosting was not bad. With that price and package, i may consider them when i’m shopping for web host again in 1 year time. Let’s just see.

With the baby in about 2 months time, there’s a lot to be prepared and to be considered as well. Most of the basic baby necessities have been bought. For now, it’s to consider about other things besides the clothings and the necessities.

Cord blood banking is one of the things to consider. I read up multiple sources on the Internet about cord blood banking. Basically, it’s the blood taken from the baby’s umbilical cord right after birth, and it’s rich in stem cells which could be used to treat many diseases. While there’s still many researches going on around stem cells treatment, many companies have been going around asking the potential parents to keep the babies cord blood privately with them.

I just did something that i never thought i would do. Well, at least not for a few months back. Yeah - i donated a whole load of money. Well, not real money anyway, but Blogshares money. How much did i donate? B$ 5 trillion - that’ll be B$5,000,000,000,000.00 and i got listed under it’s Hall of Fame

Well - how much is that in real money? Let’s see - at current rate, B$12,300,000,000,000 (read: B$12.3 trillion) worth of chips (about 15k chips) can be exchange for 1 year of premium membership, which goes for US$15/year. Yeah - probably not enough to be horse supplies also, but what the heck, i did give something back to the game.

First it was declared, then it was retracted. And what’s with all this statutory declarations these days? Apparently, these days people are brandishing statutory declarations like nobody’s business. And also, what’s happening with the politicians these days? Don’t they have a job to do? Oh wait… talking cock IS their job - all politicians are the same, government or opposition.

That’s why i don’t think i’ll ever join politics, and rather be opening shops selling diet pills and earn more money that way. I almost got into politics once upon a time while i was still in the Uni. That time, i was still young. Hehe… I guessed i was almost being manipulated as well - i decided i had enough and just left.

Guessed you never knew that about me, right? Heh.

I have somehow settled down on what to use to display my photos. I was initially thinking of using whatever’s offered in Wordpress. Then i looked around (and with recommendation from a friend), i look at Pixelpost, and actually like it.

I’m still trying to understand further on how to use PixelPost on my site, and already have done the installation and have a running site. For now, there’s only a few pictures, as i’m still testing out and trying to customise the theme to fit my need.

Yes - it’s the annual thingy again, the Super GT Malaysia leg in Sepang. It’s here this weekend. Are you going there as well? If you do, and if you noticed a big group of photographers going around in a group while you were there, you would probably spot me.

With the hopes of a futures broker, i wished for better pictures and angles. At least, I somehow know what to expect this year. And also, not only Japanese girls awaits us - there’s more!

If you haven’t noticed yet, it’ll be another 80+ days to go. Yep - less than 3 months and the baby will come out and say hello to the world. Frankly, i can’t wait till that day. I used to have doubts about myself being a father, but i guessed i better not worry about that yet. I think i’m already ready to be a father.

I used to freak out thinking about it - having a kid, no longer just the 2 of us, that kind of stuffs. In fact, i got freak out at one point that i even consider not having any kids at all! It took me a while to get where i am now. I don’t know what change me. I guessed it’s the thought that I’ll make a bad dad that bothers me.

There was one fine day, when my badge (a.k.a access card) couldn’t open any doors at my office anymore. So i did the natural thing - i went to the security post to get it re-done or sorted out. Only to be dragged for 4 days. Why? The person in charge was either not there, or just walk out of the room. That’s just the beginning.

When i finally get to see the person in charge, he tried the badge (for like 2-3 scans) and concluded that my card was faulty and needed to be replaced. All in less than a minute. And it has to take 4 days. Even car insurance comparison didn’t take that long.

Got a call from an old friend a while back, saying that he’ll be in town for a couple of hours (due to the nature of his work) and wants to meet up - he craves for nasi kandar, by the way. As much as possible, i try to accommodate visiting friends, especially if i didn’t leave island on that particular weekend.

So off i go to meet up, kinda eager as i haven’t met this friend for quite a long time. Went to pick the friend up, and managed to catch up with some news, and related news regarding our circle of friends as well. That’s refreshing, as i stayed quite far from the rest of the group.
