Visit DH2 Rating: DH2.Net was the host of IvyTan.Ca for the year 2006. Support – They had a server problem which affected my WordPress. When I contacted them, not only did they respond immediately but they actually went out of their way to rectify the problem and explain every detail to me. I was so…


Host Review: Crucial Paradigm

Visit Crucial Paradigm Rating: Crucial Paradigm was the host of my old blogs Style07.Net, Chinesemaiden.Com, Tsui-Mong.Org and my old portfolio, UrbanExhibit.com I have hosted with them for 3 years (2003-2006) with them and I’ve only experienced the best support, no downtime and most importantly, extremely fast servers.

Beautiful Love Song

December 31, 2007 / Daily Life / 5 Comments

I’ve never really been a big fan of the contemporary Chinese music scene. Most of it is trash – overly ‘inspired’ from Korean and Western music or overly sappy love songs.

Happy (Early) Birthday To Me!

I will turn 22 tomorrow. Time really flies by. It felt like only yesterday that I was an ignorant 18 year old that stepped into the ‘cool’ world of university. Yet now in 5 months time, I will be exit this world of over-protection for the world where adults live, thrive, dive. It’s scary but…
