Happy Deepavali
Posted By Lester Chan at 00:54 in Blog

Today is Deepavali, I would like to wish all Indians a very Happy Deepavali. So What exactly is Deepavali?
Well actually it is :

Deepavali is a festival where people from all age groups participate. They give expression to their happiness by lighting earthen ‘diyas’ (lamps), decorating the houses, bursting firecrackers and inviting near and dear ones to their households for partaking in a sumptuous feast. The lighting of lamps is a way of paying obeisance to god for attainment of health, wealth, knowledge, peace, valor and fame.

Compass Point
Posted By Lester Chan at 23:51 in Blog

Went to Compass Point with my girlfriend, Alvin and Choon Sing, went there to ‘explore’ around the newly open shopping center and also to take the portable hi-fi from Choon Sing for use in the chalet.

Well to my surprise the shopping center is quite big and have lots of shops(obviously) ate deer meat with rice at the foodcourt there, that stall is recommended also by 1 food television programme. Not to bad the food, not that delicious.

Went to visit my grandfather later on in the night and ate dinner at Toa Payoh Lorong 8, to my surprise so many stalls are closed. Left with so little choices of food, so I ate the Minced Pork Noodle. Not that bad.

Came back home, helped my mom to pack my own room(LOL) and also did some minor modifications to the site(scroll right to the bottom). Thats all for today folks.

Will be going to Compass Point tomorrow, never been to that shopping center before, just opened recently.

Minor Site Tweaks
Posted By Lester Chan at 00:21 in Site

Tweak some stuffs on this site, mainly only affect the back-end rather than the user-end. Now the time taken to load the page is much more accurate and it is located at the bottom but outside the page layout.

All parts of the page layout are now being called from a function file rather than including the file. This makes updating the site an easier job for me and the site will look more uniform in terms of breadcrumbs navigation and the page title.

If you find any bugs in this site. Please feel free to drop me a mail to inform me, it is better if you can attach a screenshot of it. Thanks in advance =)

My good buddy, Shaun aka DeMoBLiTzer, has redesigned his site, this is his 7th layout since 2000, it is called Project Zen as what it is stated in the URL. Well, I must say the red and black combination is not bad.
Here is the news on his site:

The prototype 7.0 site layout is out today, hope that its appealing to all. I won’t be improving the design of this new layout till after my A level exams next month. And while I’ve got some serious studying up my back, in the mean time, enjoy the site!

Happy Halloween

Woo, today is Halloween’s Day. Happy Halloween to all. Ermmm, Halloween is the English version of the Chinese 7th month ghost festival? LOL.

Accompanied my girlfriend for her job interview at Mosque Street in the afternoon together with Jean and Zhi Wei. While waiting for them to finish interviewing, went to Maxwell Market, as that is the nearest food center available to us. As usual ate the Fried Slice Fish Soup there, later went to Chinatown Point McDonald’s to site down and wait for them.

Went to Bugis for a walk after that before proceeding home.
