New layout, my old layout was beginning to bore me so I decided to change my theme. This layout image was actually for my other domain sap-a-licious.net but since I went with another layout on that domain, I thought this image was too pretty not to use and I like how I blended the two images together. Anyway, I hope you like and it should be viewable on all browsers (even IE 6 and earlier) but any problems let me know. And yea, I hope it’s not too bright.

So I really shouldn’t be blogging as I have a job test on Thursday. It will hopefully be easy (it’s Microsoft Office for heaven’s sake) but that makes it even more embarrassing if I end up doing something stupid and fail. Oh well, it’s in Bedfordshire and since there is no direct train, my lovely parents have offered to drive me there. Truth be told, I could have gone down one night earlier and stayed in a hotel but since it’s only a 20 minutes test, I didn’t want to waste all that money, it would have been different if it was a job interview and besides, the hotel plus the train would have actually cost quite a bit. So anyway, dad said he would drive me down, it’s quite funny as we are all going down, to Bedford, 3-4 hours away, for a 20 minutes test.

I have a Mehndi to go to Wednesday. This is sort of pre-marriage ceremony, where all the married women put a Paan leaf (Betel leaf) on the girl or boys, hand, then put a drop of mehndi (henna) onto the leaf, and then feed the girl/boy some Indian sweets. I am just going because there will be really nice food as it’s in a nice hotel. What? There is nothing for me to actually do there as I am not married (something which no doubt will come up endless amount of times ). They have decided to do both boy and girls Mehndi at the same time. It’s their wedding on Saturday and I am looking forward to it. I’ve been picking out my clothes and I’ve decided to wear a sari to the wedding. I will try to remember to take some pictures.

I’ve decided that I need to get some more examples for my portfolio, I think one of the best ways is to make some websites for friends, etc. I think I will place a message on my facebook asking if anyone wants me to design a website for them. I am also thinking of doing some volunteer work, my CV isn’t the best and I think that will look really good, plus it will be quite interesting to do as well. It’s at times like this, where I wish I was involved in some community things, or I had more hobbies. Though, I am determined to start teaching myself more JavaScript and PHP. I hope to move onto Ruby on Rails and teach myself more PERL as well.

I’ve added a plugboard to the site, I will also be adding some more visitor content once I am done with this test on Thursday. I will probably add some layouts and icons etc.

Thanks for all the birthday messages

Wow, it has been ages since I last blogged or doing anything on-line really.

Last time I blogged, I had come back from a holiday in Singapore and was on my way to India for my cousin’s wedding when we received the news that my granddad was in hospital. He had a heart attack last year and not to mention was a diabetic and everything but this was so sudden. Sadly, he died on the 20th January, about as week or so before we were going to India.

I can’t even begin to describe how that feels, after 5 years, I was going to see him, them all and now he wasn’t there. Things went really, really bad at home.

So yea, we went to India and after a huge discussion they decided to go ahead with the wedding. And I was okay with that, of course we weren’t happy inside but we knew how much this wedding meant to my granddad. He was the one who was looking forward to it the most and they said when it was delayed for the first time, he freaked out and was annoyed. So it was done in his memory, really.

Which was really nice, the wedding on the other hand wasn’t, and believe me I could go on but I will just leave it with, I really, really didn’t like the groom or his family. However, everything else apart from that was okay and my cousin looked lovely. Photos are uploaded on my facebook.

Anyway, ending that there, a new layout. I hope it’s not too bright on your screens, it looks okay on mine but anyway any problems or anything let me know. (Ah yeah, I know it doesn’t work with I.E 6 and earlier.)

It’s been so cold here, sometimes I have to put my fan heater and warm up before I can do anything. I don’t mind it being cold, heck I am used to it, just not this cold!

Going to start getting on with the Oracle exam as well, I was meant to have started it earlier but then all those events happened so it got pushed aside.

It’s really hard getting back into studying. My attention span has gotten incredibly shorter and after 10 minutes I am back on the net, surfing and stuff. Anyone got any tips?

I have tons of emails to answer, ones that I was meant to answer before going to India and seriously I will get around to them … I hope

Oh yea, I have some more fanlistings up for adoption if anyone is interested.
