Millions have crowded into the center of Washington to witness the 1st African-American become the 44th president of the States, where are you?

This photo makes it hard to imagine that this man could be the President of the United States in less than an hour. But hey, what’s wrong with something out of the ordinary… a world leader with 6-pack abs!

Last week, I was interviewed by a Singaporean Journalist of in-flight magazine, Smile, published by Cebu Air Pacific in Singapore. She’s writing about Shanghai for the upcoming regular called International Destination Guide and would like to get my opinions, advice and tips.

She requested that my answer do not have to conform to any tourist-book type recommendations, they could be off the beaten track or anything wacky, unusual or unheard of… and of course, based on my experience, so this is pretty much free-style.

If you are flying on Cebu Air Pacific next month, January 2009, be on the look out for my interview!

I have finally upgraded my blog to WordPress V2.7 – The Coltrane. The new interface is cool and fully customizable. My upgrade went as smooth as a baby’s butt, and all plugins are working fine.

The first thing when you log in, you will notice the awesome dashboard that you can arrange with drag and drop to put the most important tools on top of the page, quickpress, the ability to reply comments and install any plugin with a single click from your dashboard. Nearly every task you do on your blog will take fewer clicks and be faster in 2.7 than it did in a previous version.

Here’s a video to show you how…

I’ll be setting up a couple of goals for myself and hope to get more done this December! I thought it would be a good idea and I always feel so much more organized when I write things down. December would be another busy month… online or offline.

1. Try to exercise more.

I used to go to my apartment’s gym for an hour treadmill workout twice a week… then I got so lazy during the winter and marinated myself instead. I’m also trying to walk more or stretches everyday.

2. Eat healthy.

Try to eat 5 vegetarian meals, 2 fish meals plus a meat meal a week.

3. Look after my skin.

Use more moisturiser during the winter.

4. Try not to be too busy.

Spend time with my hubby. We have been dining out at least twice a week in a restaurant for the pass few years. For the last 2 months, we have been fine-tuning the quality of our weekend date and try to spend less money.

5. Trying to conceive.

Baby making project…

6. Create a new theme for this blog.

I wanted to create a new theme for this blog since two months ago. I’m trying to spend more time to redesign my blog for 2009. A Chinese theme…? A personal blog theme…? hmmm… I’ve no idea at all…

7. Build a static website.

I’ve got the ideas and the domain name for a year already but haven’t gotten around to building them.

To my best friend,

my lover and only soul-mate…

It’s another year to create precious memories together,
another year to discover new things to enjoy about each other,
another year to build a life rich in love and laughter,
another year to strengthen a marriage that defines “forever“!

… You rock my world babe! Happy Anniversary!

YES! Senator Barack Obama has successfully won the 2008 Presidential Campaign and has been elected as the 44th President of The United States of America, the first African-American President in history triumph that overcome racial barriers.

Results at the time of writing, from CNN

Obama has secured 338 electoral votes, 68 more than the required 270. I cannot imagine the immense sense of pride and genuine happiness that Obama has won the White House! Wohoo… it’s an amazingly exciting thing to look forward to now. Over the past few days, I’ve let myself wonder what it would be like to have Obama as the First Family.

Full National President Exit Polls can be found here.

Much love and congrats go out to Barack Obama, I’m confident that he will be able to lead the States toward an amazing new future!

Kudos to Barack Obama!
