A belated Happy New Year... I'm not much into celebrating that (same old 24 hours a day, right) but I'm happy with the celebration atmosphere anyway. =)

Edited and added on to the Manga Recommendations. I've also added (and will be adding) bits and pieces to Quotes from time to time without keeping log (that felt like an overkill).

[ 20 Nov 2005 ]

Revamped the site... this update has been underway for months! You should be able to tell I'm now into green. ^_^ Have been for quite a long time actually, but only now it is realized here.

Added stuff to basically all the sections. Added a new section on Research, and took out the Links section cos I don't have anything worthwhile to put there for now, seeing that Google does a mighty fine job for that purpose, as far as I'm concerned. ^_^

[ 31 July 2004 ]

Pleased to announce that this site is up again ^_^ though with a little change in url. I'm now a research staff, still in School of Computing, hence the reactivation of my account.

A poem by Sara Teasdale newly up. Touching.

Also, a huge update of poems I wrote, in the Playing with Words section [edit 20 June 2005: now titled Poetic Licence].

[ 25 May 2004 ]

My account will be disabled today as I have graduated... =) I haven't found a new webhost yet, so in the meantime, if you're interested to follow up with me =D you may want to see my webblog at kireira.easyjournal.com (sorry for the pop-ups though). I'll post the news there when I have a website up.

I've also changed the email address in the "Contact me" links to my non-school account.

Thanks for reading all this while. ^_^

Made a correction to one of the lyrics, "The Inner Light". Thanks to David Howick for pointing out that the song was written by George Harrison and not Cartney/Lennon.

[ 10 June 2003 ]

Just a minor edit on one of my poems, "No Words Are". Word choice. I'll do more updates and the promised revamp after I pull myself out of my recent manga obsession.

[ 9 April 2003 ]

I can't resist this temptation.

This piece on what fate is all about struck me as I read it. I'm having a slight trouble with categorization here.. (whether it should go under Stories or Poetries) Well, I'm thinking of renovating the whole site after exam anyway, so that'll be fixed ^_^

[ 4 April 2003 ]

Received a touching email near the finishing of my assignment due tomorrow.. so there it is under the Stories section. This one is a bit.. unusual, so be warned.

[ 9 Sept 2002 ]

Recess week.. or shall I say midterm study week? ^_^

I edited all pics I use in this site to reduce the filesizes; hope it'll help with the download time. Thanks goes to Denny again for pointing this out some time ago. (The improvement is long overdue ^_^A) Haven't tried Fireworks as Gory has kindly suggested though.. mm.. just haven't got the whim to really go learn it yet.. =P

Additions are two song lyrics in Music Page, and the Playing with Words [edit 20 June 2005: now titled Poetic Licence] section in Inspirational Page, hosting some of the poems I wrote. Enjoy! =)

"Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep..."
-- Promises, Savage Garden

Oh well. I said I would leave this site alone for one semester, but when things cross my mind I can't seem to let them pass. -_-0

Anyway.. *throws self-reproach aside* ..here's another inspiring story about Seven Wonders of the World. It's been on the Net for some time, but when a friend re-sent it I was once again touched, and so it qualifies to be on this site. ^_^

[ 16 Aug 2002 ]

Added some quotes on the Quotation Page. I just came across the piece "Striving to be Nobody" and it struck me so much I feel the urge to put it up. =) (Oho, despite my on-hold programming assignment. I'm no good at handling temptations.) And while I'm at it, might as well add some more. I have quite an abundant supply of quotations and it's just a matter of choosing.. ^_^;

And yes, a new poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson. A really good one, I assure you.

[ 30 July 2002 ]

School has just started! It's kinda welcome after such a long break when I did anything but studying. But feel like I haven't recovered from pasca-Rag exhaustivity.. ^_^;

Anyway, just some minor changes here and there and replaced the pic at the Anime Page [edit 20 June 2005: now titled Manga Page]. Decided to take away the underway My Poems section due to sudden lack of self-confidence and bits of doubt regarding copyright issues. Haha.

It'll be some time till I update this again as I'll be busy with schoolwork.

[ 18 May 2002 ]

Refined the visual appearance upon feedback from Denny. Hope it's more readable now. Please continue to be my faithful critic, ya? ^_^

Added About Me, Inspiration, Music, Anime Page and Links. The previous Quotation Page is now inside the Inspiration Page. (This is beginning to sound like a CVS Log, isn't it -_-0) My Poems section in Inspirational Page is still under construction. Please bear with me _ _

[ 14 May 2002 ]

Blue.. and sky.. and clouds.. A hopeless melancholic, am I not? ^_^0 I've always been privilegedly treated to the amazing scene of kumo no umi* just in front of my door, with the changing-ever, beautiful-still play of colours every sunset. What a beautiful life. =)

Anyway, it's been one semester since I last updated this page =P Stepped a little further than just putting everything in Dreamweaver's hand this time. Thanks Denny for the generous tutorials and references _ _ (Click on the name to visit this talented guy's homepage! -_^)

*sea of clouds

[ 27 Nov 2001 ]

Finally managed to set one day aside to experiment with Dreamweaver ^_^ You might think this is way too blue... ha... cannot help it, my favourite colour...
