I started off blogging in the year 2002, where I faced my first failed relationship & wrote my 1st lyric. I was a girl with nothing at that point of time. I don't have much friends. I don't have much knowledge on IT. I am just an anonymous hiding behind the screen ranting about my life.
I created my 1st website hosted by Yahoo, Geocities. Gawd. I will luff my head off looking at those layouts I have created. And soon, I shifted to Blogspot where I can use nicely default layout by them.
I don't like instructions but self explore. I read my first set of codes and slowly edit my own layout. I managed to dig out some of my old blog URLs and I look at them, wow... the colours... Mostly pink! LOL. Coz I adore pink. Even now. ;)
I was first hosted by IvanM. I still remember myself trying to do my very 1st layout using FrontPage. I failed because I thought it's difficult. So Etel did one for me. She is good at it! :D
I told myself that I have to learn to create my own layout. I force myself to sit infront of the computer and teach myself FrontPage. I finally succeeded and yes, I came out with my very 1st layout. Hee. You guys still remember I used to have this layout of a truck with toys falling out? I do! Because it's cute. Hee...
I finally lay my hands on Dreamweaver, fireworks, photoshops and flash! Can see a tremendous change in my design skills.
Due to some misunderstanding, I plucked myself out from Urban-faith.net family and bought my very own domain, Deelicious.net.
I used to be a layout-fanatic. I change my layout almost every month. But as time goes by, I started to feel lazy and sorta neglected my own site.
I hosted Mel, Ling, Sherine Mei, Wayne, Ivan, Kelly (anyone else?) with my DLC.net. It lasted for a year and due to some reason, I gave it up and never renew it. During that time when I still have DLC.net, I blogged alot of unhappy stuffs. I lost alot of friends. I lost myself to the virtual world.
I thought of giving up on blogging because I felt my life becoming more and more visible. But blogging is my passion. I am not seeking for attention BUT I want to share my joy with the people around. I know my friends care for me and when they know I am happy, they will feel the same. And so I did.
Mel bought her very own domain and hosted me. I was once her host and now, I am her hostee. I really appreciate her approach and her understanding of me forgoing DLC.net. I sorta deserted them without leaving a note behind.
I blog whenever I feel that I should leave a mark in my memory. I only blog about happy moments in my life UNLESS neccessary...
Come thinking of it, almost half of my friends, I got to know them in the virtual world. Should I list them out? Hee. It's gonna flood this entry! But people like Mel, Ling, Pei jie jie, Jo jie jie, Wendy, Etel, April, everyone in #angry-innocence (like charlene & dong), Ash, Jeffery, Gatcha-man, Ben and many many more are those who I know for more then over 2 years ever since I stepped into the blogging world. So much fun to share about. From what I wrote to what I read, we have changed. So much. So does our web designs! Hee.
I met alot of online friends and many left a deep impact in my life. Some became my very close friends, some became my soul mates, some left my life.
Perhaps there are still alot of people out there feels that the virtual world seems scary. But to me, if I didn't step into the virtual world, I won't be having so many great friends in my life.
And of course, I won't be sharing my life with someone who I love so much, my baby. :)
How can I not thank the one who invented internet? How can I not thank the one who created friendster, which allows me to stay in contact with my friends and pulled my love string with my baby?
