07-07-07 is special. Well, nothing special except the date itself. I wanted to do something memorable on this date so I can boost to people what I have done on this special date. Well, unlike madly in love couple who waited so long for this date, I couldn’t just get to church and tie the knot. I won’t go to pub to celebrate (what to celebrate? eh?) with others and piss myself off, it just so not me, besides, not many friends around here since I graduated 3 years ago, I know, I am a lonely man. [sob sob]
Okie, enough of self pity, I decided to register a domain, with my name, on this special date. As you can see from the domain name, this is going to be my personal blog, with no nonsense stuff like PayPerPost or money making advertisement (well, may be one or two). Unlike my other blog this blog will concentrate on my interest, photography in particular, cover a bit of design stuff as well as my craps (I have loads of them!).
Every new office/shop/restaurant/kopitiam needs a opening speech, so does website, I guess. I think I might as well do a short one.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for coming to is.erictan.net. It is with greatpressurepleasure to introduce you my new website.So, what’s new in this website compare to the previous one?
As you can see from the domain name, this is my personal weblog, with no nonsense stuff, the content will 100% purely completely entirely absolutely relates to myself.This blog is just the beginning, next, I will be launching my Chinese blog, photo blog and photo album in near future. If I receive great responds and admirations from these, I will consider to establish a
fans sitediscussion board.Also, I would like to take this opportunity to show you my newly design Wordpress theme, if you are reading, this means that you are already looking at the new design. The new theme is now 80% complete, and will be available for public download once it is 100% bugs free. I will be designing my other blogs and photo album too.
I hope this is a step forward to keep in touch with my friends and family.
Finally, I would like to express my thanks to those who visit my previous blogs consistently, giving me all the supports and encouragements. You are my motivation!
Thank you very much.
(Audience stand up and applaud out loud)
Opss..I haven’t quite finished yet. (Audience boooooooooo)
I forgot to mention that each and every post in this blog will be a showcase of my photographs, yeah! The photo below was taken by Lisa during a recent visit to London. I was sitting beneath Nelson column for a good 20 minutes, I think I was lucky that day because I didn’t get any poo drop! Ho!
Just like any other opening ceremony’s, you will be receiving a gift from attending this. The gifts are not ready yet (sorry!), but you will receive it once I finish the design.
Stay tuned.
