Life changes so bloody fast.

Everybody's leaving. Sigh.

Anyway, life has been pretty darn boring for me. Let's do a recap of what I did/am doing, from the earliest days of my SPM freedom up till now.

- Found a forum which pays members to post. 1 cent per reply. I thought it was a good deal, so I signed up and since then, posted a lot of crap.
- Learned about domain names and hosting.
- Got myself a free domain name (http://thehakkamoneymaker.co.cc) through reading a particularly useful thread at the forum.
- Free domain, no hosting also no use. What to do?
- Went to ANOTHER forum, where points earned through posting is converted to hosting service. Yay.
- By now I hosted my domain at the free host service. But then site is empty wor, no content.
- Fine, I need to do something. Let's install a blog.
- How the bloody #)#!&@!_)$&! do you use cPanel??!! What the heck is it??
- Turns out cPanel is a system to manage your site. I learned a bit about uploading files through FTP (File Transfer Protocol), learned a bit of MySQL database.
- Installed the blog. Now I officially have a working site, with a working blog.
- Blog theme looks lame. Wanted change it. But it's all in CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) so I knocked myself in the head. Don't know a single thing about CSS.
- Went to Wisma Hopoh bought E-books about CSS for dummies. Learned quite a bit.
- Too lazy to do CSS layout from scratch, so I decided to delete the whole blog. What a waste of time
- By now I earned $2.50 from the said forum.

And today, I officially become the proud owner of hakkamoneymaker.info! Woopee! I bought the domain name at 99 cents (USD). Lucky me, found a coupon code, otherwise it's 8.95$ at usual price.

Funny, right? Everything started from that day, that exact day when I was feeling bored to death and decided to post for fun. In about 3 weeks I learned more about domains, hosting, FTP, SQL database and CSS than I ever possibly could know in my entire life before this.

Next stop: C++ programming. *mwahaha* But feeling guilty coz I dropped Photoshop. Wanted to learn that initially.

Learning all this at least could stop my brain from decaying somewhat. Others are starting college while I'm stuck here. Bleargh. How I wish time flies.

Oh yea, important announcement: OUR BELOVED BONG WEN HANN IS OFFICIALLY TOGETHER WITH JONG WEI TEING!

For people who doesn't know the story, they both like each other for a long time yet didn't know it until Wendy de Hann told Wei Teing. Irony eh?

Wei Teing is a nice girl anyway.

May the happy newlyweds enjoy their courtship for, what, 2 weeks. Then its boo-hoo time again when Wendy de Hann goes to New Zealand.
