Blogging milestones

I first started with a Xanga account back in 2003. And looking back, I can't believe I used to blog with words like "bahx", "oso", "suckx", "tink", etc whatever shortforms you can think of. High school ahlian-ness, seriously. I shake my head in disbelief when I see people typing LiKe ThAt now.
I'm so glad we're all past that stage now, at least I think we are.
Moving on, I was attracted to how easily customizable (and cool at that time) Blogspot was/is, and hence, I made my switch. That was 2005, we just finished O's and I went to NYJC for the first 2.5 months. So many skins to download from Blogskins and best part was, everything's free! Anyway, if you think you want to read the really old entries for one reason or other, here's the link: http://changyaijia.blogspot.com. I changed the address more than just a couple of times, back then it was kookyhaven (yeah i know, wtf ya?), then lubie-lub after ev started calling me lublub, doyouonlywannarara before finally deciding on changyaijia.
And sometime at the end of 2006, I thought the LJ-cut function in livejournal was pretty nifty. It just seemed a whole lot cooler hiding pictures under the cuts. So I shifted my daily ramblings to http://changyaijia.livejournal.com (check out the cute robot layout man!) for at least half a year before I decided that I want a change of username. Fickle fickle. Minishorts it was, for that seemed like my favourite piece of clothing at that time. (it's still a favourite now) I grew to love the Friends page function.
Rambled on at minishorts till Feb 08 before I decided to shift back to good ol' trusty blogger. I thought I'd be familiar with all the codes and stuff, I thought. But I realized posting pictures in blogger can be such a pain in the ass sometimes. Plus everything was html based, since I'm using a downloaded skin from blogskins. Really troublesome when you have new links to add...
And therefore, I have an announcement to make! I'm shifting again! Same old same old, only this time, it's wordpress! See ya darlings!

now taller with the mast extensions!
Weikang snapped a picture of Four Friends during his cycling trip to Pengarang some few days back. Looking at this picture instantly brought back memories of days when we spent our lives onboard. The boomnet sessions, sleeping under the milky way and trying to keep track of the number of shooting stars we saw, flying fish landing onboard, lying in the net tied to the bowsprit, wild dolphins sightings, steering and navigating our ways around, abseiling, snuggling into our sleeping bags late at night, spotting "submarine island" in the dark, and so on.
So many first-times experienced on this very sailing vessel. I miss the Captain, I miss the people who went with me, & I miss the things that we did. I miss Bawah...
Alright, enough nostalgia.
I finally satisfied my craving for Ben&Jerry's today, all thanks to the bf! We had Fossil Fuel (while watching Big Daddy on the sofa, no less!), and it was pretty good. Chunks of chocolate cookies, fudge swirls and chunky choco dinos innit! Truly a wonderous experience!
ps. Looking forward to lunch later; been such a long time since I chatted with the babe!
