no blog templates here

for those who have been wondering, i am fine. ever get into a situation where you were just rambling on and on and on, then you needed to stop to catch your breathe, because with each story you tell you feel a little emptier, only to find that you don't have the inertia to start again? omitting blogging from my daily routine was beginning to feel too comfortable, so much so that i thought i should make a conscious effort to post something before i vanish into thin air.

have i ever told you?

template hunting is extremely exhausting, simply because of the lack of choices out there. am i fastidious? i will like to think i am a simple person with simple standards. all i ask for is a template that won't drive me nuts after logging in for the thousandth time, something that won't have readers reaching out for their spectacles or the closest rock to smash the monitor. i was this close to choosing a template with a gigantic, albeit mesmerising and beautiful, eye staring at you. i can just imagine the goosebumps popping up at that one, reading my posts whilst having the most uncomfortable feeling of someone staring at you. well, it looked good at first impression but by the end of next month, the men in white coats will be ready to come and get you. i've probably clicked on all possible links to the search 'blog template'. no, i HAVE clicked on all the links. it is virtually impossible to find a fuss-free simple and clean format. out of sheer frustration, i nearly clicked on a shrek 3 template, or worse, a hello kitty one. *rolls eyes* can you imagine coming here everyday then? there are fate worse than death.

damn! i just realise i don't have post title under this template! *picking up my screwdriver*

there! fixed it.

Template hunting is a drag. Banner hunting is worse. I can spend hours upon hours messing with a photograph. Seen my banner lately? I was addicted to perfecting the "mood" of it until midnight. Make a commitment ME. Stand on your own two ...um feet? nevermind.

dear annie: oooooo, i like your new banner. but the very idea of spending all that time on it has me gagging....prob the after effects of all the template hunting. i wld like to commit, i seriously do....but i can't find one i really like. so, i just choose one for the time being until i have the energy to go hunting agn.

dear ah pek: i not really gatal lah, i damn faithful one. remember the last blog? i stuck with the std format until the cows came home. but once u decide u want something different than std format...it's so hard to find something that you really like. all these are just to fill in the blanks until i can find one i really want. it's hard to find one that you won't end up hating after a million clicks....a little like looking for a lifetime spouse, don you think?

dear jonzz: but the words were all tightly packed together and quite confusing. i like the idea of the whole note book with pencil thing but after logging in a few times, the format wasn't very appealing.
