One Year

I can’t believe it! It has been a year, ONE year since I started this blog and glad am I that I decided to start despite my busy schedule.





When I first started this blog with Chinnee’s help and encouragement, blogging seems so alien to me but along the way, I found some new friends who have shown their support like Tammy, some who have become very close and dear to me like Trinity, Ginie, Wen and Jacss, some long lost friend like Miche and some who are related to people I know like Jesslyn. There are many fabulous bloggers out there whom I would like to thank for sharing their wonderful ideas and you know who I mean - YOU! All of you have made this blog alive. There are too many people to name here but from the bottom of my heart, I thank all of you. I may not be able to visit your virtual home often but I will never forget you as my friends and I’ll drop by whenever I can.



When a few friends suggested that I get my own domain, I was initially quite reluctant, not because of money, but mainly because I was unsure if I would continue blogging. One fine day, with Miche’s help, I finally had my own domain. Some friends suggested that I find a host for my blog but then, due to my lack of knowledge about web hosting, I hesitated. Maybe I should find some web hosting articles or web hosting tutorials and equip myself with the knowledge before I really start thinking about it. Finding a secure web host would be a challenge for me but the least I want is a web host which is not reliable and insecure.





So, “Shower Your Children with Love – The Right Way” is officially ONE. Have you noticed the change of header? Those are my drawings of my family members, just symbols to represent us.



Let’s celebrate!

Hi Jo-n, congratulations your 1 year of blogging. Well done.
Love your drawings, new header, very original.
And thanks for the warm gestur and mentioned. Appreciate it.

I'm not too savvy with computers and still learning my this Apple Imac, everyday discovering something new.

2 years ago I did not even know what is a blog. I heard but never knew what it really is.
One morning happened to look at the Malaysian Star papers on line and noticed the word, blog.
Always being a busybody, I kliked in and saw lots of names...at random I selected one, read it, then continued reading several more blogs, got facinated....as well left my 12 cents worth too.

Then couple of bloggers motivated me to have my own.
Actually this present one is my 3rd blog, destroyed other two, technical problems.

Keep on blogging, Jo-n and keep well, Lee.
