blog – fixup

Posted on Monday, June 21st, 2010 at 3:16 pm

omg! 2 entries in 1 day?? that means i can skip next week >D

This blog theme was designed in a period of stress and with a sense of urgency. It was an exercise to revise my web-design skills. Looking back at it now, i can see many flaws in the design. As i will be trying to blog more often now, i feel i should address those issues moving forward, the readers deserve better =)

i'll try to point out the current flaws:

  • Too much blue, the whole blog is just flooded with blue with a minimal secondary color. This has no direction for the eye to important content area.
  • Navigation bar is hard to locate, not to mention the thinness of the font making it even harder to navigate.
  • flash header takes way too long to load, along with enormous image sizes used for the bg, this needs to be simplified to minimize loading time.
  • Frames for each entry clashes with one another, this doesnt work and makes it all the more confusing, new design required.
  • Side bar is too simplistic, the space can be better utilized to place more suitable blog related content.

Hopefully i'll have these fixed overtime. Dont expect another full update, i'll fix it as I go along. Feel free to inform me of any other flaws you see, im sure theres others!

23…already

Posted on Thursday, May 13th, 2010 at 8:48 pm

Turned 23 this week, damn cant believe I'm this old already! People at work still call me a baby, I certainly dont think so. Have i reached the stage in life where i can fully sustain myself? I mean, i barely rely on my parents anymore. Yes they cook for me, provide me accomodation and wash my clothes, but that stuff's nothing i cant do. Life is so busy these days, i wish i could go back to the old days and play Super Robot Taisen every day from 9am to 12pm, then watch 30 episodes of One Piece all at once, haha those were the days. Sadly i dont really see that happening much anymore.

NO! what am i going on about? i wanna keep playing Super Robot Taisen, and watch one piece, and go on super marathons, I'm not giving in to the fact that im old, because im not! well...not yet. I finished FF13 just before my birthday and thats the way it should be. Dont let life take over, but take over your life, do what you wanna do, and I wanna play many more Super Robot Taisen games in the future, spending hundreds of hours on em =) yeah!

I just want wanna say thanks to everyone who spent time celebrating my birthday with me, 23 is cool indeed =P. Chibi gave me the most emotional Birthday gift and card ever, something I will never forget...ever. Thanks!!

2 years left now. I told myself I will train my hardest until I'm 25, the prime age of a human. I will work towards my goal and get the weights pumping, because i want to have a body that is fit to the limit, I want to experience that power, so I can dominate more in sports and see where I can take myself. Cant wait to read back this blog entry in 2 years time, I wonder what i will be thinking then, am i naive? how strong will i be? i can bench 12.5kg on each end of the bar, run for 30 min at 11km/h. Jacky in 2 years time, I have so many questions I wanna ask you, what will I become? tell me! I will wait for that answer, just give me 2 years, i'll have everything answered. Until then, I have to enjoy whats in front of me as much as I can.

Jacky - now 23
