In case you didn’t know, today (Sept 19) is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! (Arrrrrrrr!)
And since I don’t know how to blog or write a podcast review in pirate talk, that means you may have to wait until at least tomorrow before you hear from me on this blog.
Meanwhile, TGIF and enjoy! Arrrrrrr…!

A colleague of mine forwarded this to me yesterday.. it’s simply HILARIOUS!!!
New employee
You are listening to Stevie Wonder
(It’s your first day at work and all is fine and great)
After 3 months
You are listening to HOUSE music
(because you are so busy that you’re not sure if you’re coming or going)
After 6 months…
You are listening to Heavy Metal
(your days start at 0800 and end at 2000)
After 9 months…
You are listening to Hip Hop
(You become fat due to stress and now you suffer from constipation)
After a year…
You are listening to GANGSTA RAP
(Your eyes start to twitch, you forget what a ‘good hair day’ feels like as you fall out of bed and live on caffeine!!)
And finally, after a second year…
You are listening to Techno
and have gone a bit… well… crazy!
As you’ve noticed by now, I’ve moved my blog from Blogger to WordPress and then finally to where it is right now. I bought this domain and setup a hosting account so that now I can have my WordPress blog complete with customizable themes and plugins, etc. It took a while for me to get things setup at first, but I’ve managed to get things ironed out at last.
In fact, this is the first time I’m posting from this new site. I really hope all of you will come over and take a look at the new blog and give me some feedback.
I’ve setup a Links page to link up some of the blogs which I’m subscribed to on my Google Reader. More to be added soon, so do keep a look out!
I’m also in the process of setting up a Podcasts page where I’ll share links to podcasts which I’m currently subscribed to on iTunes. I hope to get it up by the end of this week.
Well, just a brief update of what I’ve been doing in the past week. Once I get the setup of the blog more or less stabilized, I’ll probably start getting ready another round of podcast reviews. Until then, take care y’all!

If you’re a regular visitor to this blog, you’ll probably have noticed the significant changes to the layout of the sidebar. I’ve removed all almost all of the flashy widgets on the sidebar, especially all the widgets linked to affiliate programs. All those flashy stuff was making the loading of the site very slow, and the sidebar was starting to look cluttered. Besides, the affiliate links was not doing bringing in any sort of extra income anyway. I’ve since replaced those with a series of blog lists to reflect what I have on my Google Reader. I’ve also added a JavaScript widget which features what I’ve been sharing on my Google Reader, which I’ve aptly named “Neko Recommends“. If you have a blog/podcast which you’ll like to share with me and the readers of this blog, please let me know. You may end up on my recommendations feed!
I hope you all will like the new arrangements on the sidebar. Feedback and suggestions are most welcome!
Tonight is a special night because I’ve just received news that my secondary school friend has just given birth to a handsome baby boy a couple of days ago! She just posted the baby’s photos on Facebook, and oh my.. he’s GORGEOUS!!! I’m not sure if you’re reading this, but still, congratulations Deborah & her hubby Mark on the arrival of their first born son, Ethan!
You’ll probably notice by the number of exclamation marks in this paragraph, that I’m very excited. And I’ll proudly admit, “Yes! This is SOOOOO EXCITING!!!!!!!” (I’m always like that when I learn about good news like that regarding my closest pals). Debs is in Saudi Arabia with her hubby who was posted there. She told me about her pregnancy just before she left Singapore, so I’ve been concerned about both she and baby. I’m so glad to see that they’re doing well over there. Hope they come home soon so I can get to cuddle the little handsome guy.
Still on the topic of babies, my best friend, Marilyn’s baby girl will be due early next month. Thankfully, she’s in Singapore. So I probably will be able to catch up with both mother and daughter when she’s enjoying her maternity leave.
Thanks to the wonders of MSN Messenger, I also recently discovered that another ex-classmate of mine is also expecting his first baby. He’s been keeping us “up-to-date” with the baby’s progress via status messages on MSN. Judging from his latest contribution, “there’s something between the legs“, I’m gonna make a wild guess that it’s a boy. Congratulations Kit!
Going by how elated I get when I receive news of “up and coming” babies of my friends, there’s no denying each baby is a bundle of joy to their parents and to all around them.
