4 October 2010

I'd been working full time on this website for almost one year now, to see what I could achieve and whether I could make a living as a professional blogger. It has been a good experience to me, both learning to maintain a website and to learn about the meaning of life. Needless to say the income generated from this site alone is puny compare to getting a full time job. Maybe one day it can stand on its ground and make a decent earnings but not now. The effort put on this site far exceeds the earnings (imagine working full time for 1 year but you get the salary of 1 week), so please enjoy your stay and understand that maintaining such websites are not easy :) Remember this even when you're visiting other blogs and websites! Thanks for all your support up till this date and I'll be sure to continue updating this site with more info from time to time!
As I'm currently busy with my full time job as a Software Engineer, this website will be updated when the time comes. Thanks again for your patience.
