They say money can’t buy you happiness, yeah right. In the last week, my Sager laptop finally arrived from the US after a wait of 2 weeks, something that will be with me for a long long while in uni. Not to mention the barrage of Converse and Vans sneakers I got as well. Shoes can be a man’s best friend too (: Silver Converse Sneakers White Vans Sneakers! Gold Converse Sneakers The box containing my companion for the next 4 years in uni, and not to mention my roommate when I am living on campus. The Sager laptop is built as a gaming laptop, not a machine that you... 

Today, I’ve fallen to the dark side. Don’t judge me, I tried to be different. I remmeber 2 years ago, I was looking for an mp3 player and I wanted to not get an iPod because every Tom, Dick, Harry had an iPod. I went out to bought an equally expensive Creative Xi-fi 32GB. And it was spoilt after just 8 months. Chun Rui My iPod Classic lasted me for almost 2 years now, and I’ve dropped it so many times, I’ve already grown immune to feeling heartaches when I drop my Ipod. So, don’t judge me for sticking with Apple. In other news, I ordered a Sager laptop today (: I... 

It’s here, the final piece of Postcard Google was supposed to send me before they start paying me for Adsense on my websites! The postcard to gold, on my desk. Always a proud moment, to have your name associated with Google (:  Read More →

Recently I started watching the Daily Show again, and Jon Stewart is still as funny as ever. On last Thursday’s show, they mocked Apple openly regarding their controversy with the Gizmodo incident.  Watch the video for a good laugh, I guarantee. Also in other news, 4 days, Over 600 pages to study, CMFAS Module 9, Aced.  Read More →

So today, I officially ended my work with Health Sciences Authority as their website designer. If you are interested in the work I’ve done for them, take a look at my portfolio. In many ways it was the ideal job for me because, I finally get to know how does it feel like to get paid for something you enjoy doing. In the end, it was a little sad saying bye to the laptop I’ve been working on for 3 months, will I ever work in an IT related job, full-time? I’ve no idea. It was a great experience, and the people I’ve worked with made my job so much easier by being really friendly... 

You know, most website owners, dream of making money one day online, dreaming that someone or something out there will recognise your efforts for building a great website. As Football Manager Guru, a site of mine that I’ve been working on for the past year solidifies its place in the top 6 of Google search results for “Football Manager Blog”, a search term that gives 11 million hits, I see the amount of adsense money that I’ve been making from the site going up steadily. And boy is it a joy. The last step before I could receive real cash from Google, is that they need to... 

Ever since I printed out my own name card, I have been under pressure to update my website portfolio because, the old website portfolio was simply too outdated. Since then, I’ve been working on a new look for my portfolio site, in addition to adding 2 more websites that I am currently working on. I give you, my portfolio site 2.0 ! In case you are wonder what’s with the two big arrows, it’s a jQuery slider that allows you to go through all my work. If you would like to see it for yourself, click on “Portfolio” at the top of this page. My New Wishlist Okay, back to... 

Minutes ago, I’ve completed most of the SEO work to be done for my third dot com site to go live. I have been working with two other friends of mine in building a Singapore Fashion and Style Community website. And after a few weeks of hard work, the site is finally ready to go LIVE and compete with the existing Singapore Fashion websites out there, I am pretty sure given great content #2 spot on Google for the term “Singapore Fashion” will not be a problem. #1 spot requires tons of hard work although it is doable within a year I think. Enough of ranting, I present you, my third... 

As my full time contract comes to its last month, I was wondering if I could anything meaningful for the remaining time before I head off to uni. If there was anything I learnt since September 2009 about starting up dot coms, it is that, content is really king on the Internet. There is no question about that. All the blackhat ways to get revenue might work, but only for in the shortrun, eventually the Big G will catch up with you, and before you know it, your site would have disappeared from the first few pages of the search results. It took  me a while, but my Football Manager blog is consistently... 

Probably our biggest game of the season so far, yet we only have ourselves to blame for losing 2-1 at home to Chelsea. Now the title initiative lies with Chelsea, and we need a favour from Liverpool or Spurs in beating Chelsea, for us to catch up. Who is to blame? Is it Berbatov? Is it Gary Neville for letting Malouda slip past him? Is it Ferguson for his tactical decisions? I believe, it’s every single one who belongs to the Manchester United family. Don’t get me wrong, I will never turn against my own club that I supported for 12 years now. But, I was really gutted to see that display...
