Reading what I can never be

Posted by: adriantan on: July 20, 2008

With slightly more than a year before I turn 30, I think it is about time to acknowledge that there are certain things/regrets in life that I just have to accept and live with.

For anyone who is also keen to take up this free sport, I [...]

And if that isn’t crazy enough, we set up a football team and has already competed against two different [...]

#$%^ WordPress Theme!

Posted by: adriantan on: July 8, 2008

This must be the 10th time I changed the theme on my blog since I migrated from blogspot. Much as I prefer the user friendliness of wordpress, I just can’t seemed to find a theme that really suits me.
