Hi everyone, I’m really happy and excited to launch this new blog today :D

(Image created using Obamicon.me)

One month ago (on St. Valentine’s day LOL), I bought a new domain (sjdvda.com) and unlimited hosting plan from DreamHost and another domain from GoDaddy(which is still under constuction). BTW Thanks to Kurt Avish for the coupon code :D. As most of you know, I had previously been blogging using the Tumblr blogging platform on sjdvda.tumblr.com at first, then on sjdvda.co.cc.

On my new domain, I’ll be using WordPress for all my blogging needs (Goodbye Tumblr…). In the next few weeks, I’ll write a post with the reason why I’ve changed platform, the key word here is Customization. I hope this will be a new start for me as I have not written a post since January and I’d really like to blog more often, so don’t forget to subscribe to the new RSS Feed or by e-mail.

I started completely from the ground for this new blog, with only the posts from my old blog and nothing else (I couldn’t find a way to import the comments  :cry:).  During the last month, I’ve learned about WordPress, plugins, FTP, Domains and a lot of interesting things :)

Independence Day at school

(left: our country, our pride. right: our country, our shame. Image from orange.mu)

Yesterday I went to school for the independence day “celebration”, though I can hardly call what happened a “celebration”: It totally sucked!!

I was standing in the sun, wondering why the hell I had gone to school  O_o, less than quarter of the students were present!! Among the 6 classes of Form 5, only 16 students had come to school! When they first put the music of the national anthem, only a few students were singing and almost no sound was heard. So they had to put a version with vocals so as not to lose face! :? That’s not really weird as the students in Form 4 and Form 5 didn’t have any practice; there had not been any rehearsals or schedule. The proof here is that no pupil even knew who would be the guest of Honour before we saw him!!  :@ :@

If I had not enjoyed myself with some friends after school, my entire day would have been ruined! :@ (BTW Thanks Akshay, Saif, Niddy & Doomesh). This decline in patriotism really pisses me off, how can we move forward if everyone thinks about leaving the country??

If anyone has something to say, the comment form is below :)
