Hello there. I am Terry and I am a full-time undergraduate based in Singapore. I take photos, write a blog and design websites.

And no, I'm not a teddy bear.

Back to Normal

The silently smouldering Internet drama (silently smouldering because this drama never spilled over to become anything worse) has finally came to an end, thanks to a comment left by the instigator. This is so far the only comment from him I would recommend reading, since the previous ones are generally unpleasant reads.

Since he’s clarified everything about the drama, including his motive and how a tiny skirmish led to a huge amount of flaming and gun-powder expenditure, I should say that I wouldn’t want to pursue the matter anymore, as long as he removes the offensive materials from his blog as soon as possible. The last time I’ve checked, they’re still there, but I trust him that he’ll remove them when he’s free.

One thing to say though – he mentioned in his comment that I’ve posted bad blog [posts] about him, which enraged him and led to a whole lot of flaming. But for goodness sake my first response to your act of plagiarism is almost objective and I did not even bother to make unfounded comments, assertions and assumptions. This is the very one thing I would want to say, because I don’t spread bad words about people and defame them openly on the Internet. I’ve kindly left a comment at your blog, requesting you to remove the offensive materials, and the next thing I knew is that my blog is flooded with flaming comments.

To all my blog friends who have defended me throughout the whole ordeal (not an ordeal to be exact, since I wasn’t that upset afterall) drama, here’s a big thank you to you all, and of course, pluggies! I would express my greatest gratitude to those who respect and follow Internet ethics and etiquette, who stood up for justice. In order of the comments posted:

It’s over, let’s leave all that drama behind.

Your name is required. Why?

  • So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
  • Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
  • If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Your email is needed. Why?

  • Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
  • So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
  • If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

You can always leave a personal URL behind

  • It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
  • I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

  • What is Twitter?: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.
  • What is my Twitter ID?: To get a Twitter ID, you simply have to sign up for an account at Twitter.com. Your ID will be in the format of your profile's URL - http://twitter.com/[userid].

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching Total Eclipse of the Heart: Literal Video Version. Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
