Moon Cake Feast!!!

Today, I can finally go home and have a little break. Well, everything was quite okay at first. But, today, was just pure bad luck! Anyway, I took my bus back to my hometown, with a ticket that was RM4.00 more expensive. Then, when I reached home less than 30 minutes, I was told that I need to return to my uni to settle some forms. Haizzzz, it was just pure bad luck!!!! Let's put that aside and enjoy some very nice moon cakes.



Well, if you had read the newspaper, you might come across an article regarding luxurious moon cake. Yup, there are some moon cakes that really "cost a leg". In Singapore, there is a moon cake box set that costs around RM2962.00. What is so special about this? Well, according to the Sin Chew Daily, the head chef explained that "the fillings of the moon cake require a lot of effort.Omega 3 egg white, with milk, egg yolk powder and etc are used to replace the lianrong{莲蓉}. When the customers open the box, immediately, the aroma could be smelled" {Haha, please forgive my lousy translation} . Apart from that, the moon cake boxes require 1 and a half month to manufacture. If you are one of the clients, the head chief would even deliver the moon cake to you and instruct you how to enjoy this luxurious box personally.


Personally, I am not rich enough to afford this ultra-luxurious moon cakes box{If you have time, click my ads to give me some money to eat RM1.50 worth of cheap moon cake beside the street}. Besides, eating this super moon cake might even make my nose bleed!Hahaha, well, thanks goodness that this year, my family did not really need to buy any moon cakes. This is because friends and families of my parents and siblings had given some very nice moon cake box sets. Even though they were not that horribly luxurious which worthed a price of a beautiful laptop, they were quite tasty. Plus, the design of the moon cake boxes were also quite beautiful! Yes, needless to say, it is picture-time!

The Days of Series of Xtreme Events in My Little Wrold!

Yes, finally, I had just registered as a new student in my Uni not long ago. These few days were just crazy!(@_@). With everything going hectically in my life, I could not update my blog that frequently. Besides, in my new place, I also did not have internet access. Therefore, every published production would be conducted my uni's computer lab from now on!{Really don't have money to install streamyx leh, clicks clicks(^^)}. Okay, now, the series of Xtreme Events in My Little World is coming up with pictures comic!


Day 1 : 12/09/2008
Today, after practicing in the pool , I straight away went back to my house to do my packing! Yup, to my surprise, I had 3 big luggage begs full of my clothes and numerous of boxes containing everyday stuffs. At 8pm, I was already starting to pack non-stop. The long packing night ended around 3 am.


Day 2: 13/09/2008
After the long hours of packing I did not waste any time at all. I started to write a Happy Moon Cake Festival in chinese on my Wretch blog. It took my quite some time to finish it. Then, I was off to bed. Only after a few hours of sleep, I was forced to wake up to pack the things again and prepared to leave. With 2 and a half hours drive, my whole family arrived at my new rented place. Without wasting anytime, we started to unpack. Ooo my gosh, everything was so chaotic. The packing was just a lot of work! Then, our tea break was a lavish feast of moon cakes!!!{Will in another post}At night, we went to THE CURVE to have our Moon Cake Festival in Dragon-i Inn(龙的传人). Well, the food was fantastic; however, the price was...{Will blog in the next post}. Anyway, after having dinner there, we went to IKEA to do some light shopping. We were able to locate some goods there{Will blog in another post about the best buy selection}. With tiredness draining our energies, we drove back to my new place and had a good night sleep.

Day 3: 14/09/2008
Today, my parents and my brother went to shop while my sister went to work. As for me, I had a good night sleep. After that, the packing was still on. We were adding a little touches into living space. Yup, previously, my mom and I were playing dyeing some old curtains{Will blog a post on this too}. That, we hang all the curtains. It was really terrific to the sight! Then, it was time to help my sis to move in too! Her stuffs were enormously and 3 times my stuffs!!!No kidding. After that, it was time for my parents to leave. With a simple food stalls meal, my parents went to my beautiful hometown.


Day 4: 15/09/2008
This morning, I wake up at about 8 a.m. After having breakfast with my sis, I went to take a train. It took about 10 minutes to reach my stop and after that, I took the uni bus which about 25 minutes . A total of 35 minutes. Since I might had to take the daily routine like that, I had to get use to it. After going through excruciating registration process, I ended up in the uni computer lab, doing my blogging business.


Basically, these few days were full of packing and unpacking. Anyway, I will try my best to update my interesting life and there!

The Results On "How To Improve My Little World" Blog Survey

Yup, a few days ago I posted a survey regarding on how to improve my blog. The response was not bad. There are so many friends and strangers gave me very useful critics and comments. Therefore, today, in this post, I will share with the results will everybody! Before that, A BIG THANKS for really giving me a very good response!{I can't elaborate too long, still have not finished packing my stuffs(^^)}


Results
Majority of the responses were given in my cbox. Reasons:{Personal Analysis}
  • It is easy to use
  • Do not need to log in
  • It is easy to load
  • It is time-saving

Part 1
The respondents chose to respond a few criteria from the list.
  1. Content - fine
  2. Creativity - No comment
  3. Originality -No comment
  4. Quality & Quantity-No comment
  5. Personality - remained unchanged {This is my blog after all}
  6. Language skills - No comment
  7. Presentation Skills -No comment
  8. Consistency -No comment
As you can see from the results, people really emphasized on the content part. However, due to lack of respondents for Part 1, the results might encounter discrepancies. After viewing all the response, most of the respondents took part in Part 2 . Therefore, for Part 1, if you still have any ideas/comments/critics, you can drop a comment anytime.




Part 2
Design Issue:
  1. Do you like my blog design?
  2. Is my layout too messy?
  3. Is my colour scheme all wrong?
  4. Is my widgets not appealing?
For this part, I summarized all the ideas into point forms:
  • simple and nice blog design
  • Add border to make the blog neater
  • blog design is not cluttered/messy
  • soothing to the eyes, but, not all the respondents like the green background
  • nice layout/template
  • cute widgets
  • blog description's font color is quite difficult to read.
In Part 2, most people really see blog design as a very important aspect in blogging. Therefore, I really took in all the comments and compiled them into useful guide. I even added border for my side bar navigation and change my blog title's colour. Again, any comments are always welcome here.



Part 3

Type of blogs:
  1. Picture blog - add more picture{A picture really speaks a thousand words}
  2. Music blog - Some prefer music blog; however, not everyone loves it.
  3. Word blog - No comment
  4. Video blog - No comment

Therefore, after reviewing all the comments, I would still stick to my original style. But, I will add more elements into my blog posts. Comments are welcome here!


Conclusion
After reading all the results, I also started to try my best to improve my blog. However, at the end of the day, this is still my blog. Therefore, for certain aspects, I would keep it remained because that is my personality. Undeniably, the blog survey had really given me a good chance to improve my blog. Again, a big thanks to everybody!!!! Your ideas are really helpful!!!!


p.s: Sorry I sounded a little rush!!! I will be leaving to my Uni soon. Therefore, may not be updating that often! But, please still visit me and leave me a comment! I will get back to you as soon as I can! - - - - - Heading back to packing!!!
