Portfolio
I've been rushing my NTU admission portfolio. On Thursday I hurried to Paradiz Centre to get it wire-bound, withdrew cash at the ATM, took my card but forgot the money, only realising after a cab ride there.

I spend about three hours a day fixing and improving my WordPress plugins. If you like them and my fast support, please consider donating to me. Thank you! You can do so by visiting my site's donation page.
Yesterday I went to an OCBC dinner with my mom at Grand Shanghai. The food was rather lousy, but the activities were cool, with sketching, fan painting and trishaw photos. My mom did a fan painting while we queued.
I caught Fearless on the second day of Lunar New Year, and it's easily Jet Li's best film in years. I still think he suits wuxia movies more than modern-day fighting ones. It's also touching towards the end. Highly recommended.
During Chinese New Year we paid the usual visits to relatives, and the three of us siblings gathered at Mr Yuan's house; it's been a long time since I saw him after his retirement. I've also enrolled at NUS.
WordPress 2.01 was released two days ago, fixing about 114 bugs. You can now specify an upload directory and whether to use date-based storage, caching has been fixed under certain PHP environments, and permalinks now work in odd setups.
We had our reunion dinner at just past four yesterday, pretty early, leaving the whole night to relax. My youngest sister suggested calling my primary school Chinese teacher so she could collect hong bao.
It's the eve of Chinese New Year, and I've released updates to six of my plugins, some just bug fixes; check the changelog for details. Among them, WP-DBManager 2.01 for WordPress 2.0 lets you optimise and back up your database.
I had an eventful weekend showing our Thailand friends around Singapore for shopping. They visited Chinatown, Little India, Funan IT Mall, HarbourFront and Suntec City. The most memorable was Little India, only my second time there.
There is a SQL injection vulnerability in wp-stats.php, which I've fixed by adding $wpdb->escape($string). Please download the latest version, WP-Stats 2.01, right now to stay protected. Apologies for the oversight; do update as soon as you can.
I caught Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit yesterday at GV Jurong Point. I'd heard mixed reviews, but I found it a good show, recommended, very funny and cute at once, especially those bunnies. A delightful watch overall.
WordPress 2.0 has finally been announced on the official site, with details about the changes. In the meantime, I've updated all eight of my plugins to be compatible with WordPress 2.0, including WP-Stats 2.00, which displays your blog statistics.
Happy New Year, everyone, it's 2006, just six more months to Germany 2006! I had dinner at CA yesterday, sitting there four hours, then chilled at Suntec's Fountain of Wealth before heading to the Esplanade for the fireworks.
