all grown up now aren't we
When we were young, it seemed so easy to just turn to our best friend (or best friends) and say 'I don't friend you'. Four simple words which might hurt for awhile but would soon be gone with the wind, or in the presence of our favorite toys.

Everyone was a friend for awhile.

Slowly, we became more selective. We grew to cherish friendship and the meaning of 'best friend' being a singular term. Often, we would even divulge our deepest secrets and thoughts. Only to have them inevitably shared with others. Probably new 'best friends' or with friends because your best friend (of friend) just didn't see the importance.

And then, there is the lack of effort to maintain what we call 'friendship' because of the complexity of our society. Everyone embarks on a new chapter of their lives and paths cross. New friendships are forged and often, the old ones forgotten.

It's scary to grow up. If only we can still just say those four words easily, without a care of the consequences and hope that the other party will simply shrug it off with no hard feelings.

I wonder if it is part of growing up, to hide your true self in fear of public opinion, to not be able to speak without thinking like we used to when young and innocent.

There are just so many considerations.

LiveJournal Major Notes: Notes, Tweaks, Bug Kills, LJ_Cares!

Notes augmented

We've enhanced and de-bugged Notes. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the time! You can create a private note when you ban multiple users. You can also delete multiple notes at once. Lastly, paid users have the option to add a note (visible only to you) whenever you add or remove a friend (guaranteed to avoid embarrassing social mishaps). If you don't currently have a paid account, you can upgrade now! It only takes a few minutes and costs less than a bad shopping mall haircut (plus, it's way more fashionable)!

Product tweaks and bug kill

In another effort to zap spam, comments containing links from domains LiveJournal deems untrustworthy are now automatically screened
If you sign up to get notifications of the Writer's Block question of the day, you'll now see the daily question in the email notification, so you'll have a little extra time to ponder before you post. You can subscribe to Writers Block notifications here
The issue causing random comments to vanish has been fixed!
If you visit a LiveJournal page and get prompted to log in, you'll be returned to the same page after you sign in (Thanks, Dreamwidth)!
If you don't edit the timestamp for an entry at all, the entry timestamp will indicate the time the entry was posted instead of the time the Update Journal page was loaded
Comments with paddings/backgrounds render correctly within the comment box (and will no longer wrap outside the box and break frames/margins)

New FCK fixes rich text editor!

We've updated our RTE (Rich Text Editor) to FCKeditor version 2.6.5
When switching from the RTE to HTML editor, links for syndicated feeds are no longer broken
RTE now functions properly in Safari 4.0
An extra line/space will not be auto-inserted whenever you switch from RTE to HTML editor
The insert image link now works correctly in all browsers

LiveJournal Cares

We’re pleased to introduce you to lj_cares, a new LiveJournal community dedicated to raising awareness and funds for U.S. charitable organizations that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Each month, we’ll spotlight a nonprofit that is making a significant global impact through medical research, public outreach, and/or humanitarian social programs. Charities will be selected in accordance with the U.S. calendar of national health observances based on a high rating (of over 60%) on Charity Navigator and global scope of impact.

In this, our inaugural month of November, we will celebrate national adoption month by offering a charitable virtual gift (priced at $2.99) to support Love Without Boundaries, an organization that saves the lives of orphans with life-threatening diseases and places them in loving homes around the world. LiveJournal will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of charitable vgifts (we'll cover the cost of credit card transaction fees). To learn more about Love Without Boundaries, please visit lj_cares and read about how they helped save Baby Kang and the Rainbow Twins from fatal illnesses, who are now thriving in nurturing families. You can purchase your Love Without Boundaries gifts in the Virtual Gift shop.

Papered in postcards

A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to send in postcards to surround us with LiveJournal community. Thanks for coming through! We've received postcards all the way from Germany, Finland, and Canada and from all over the US, including Texas, Florida, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Hawaii, and Oklahoma just to name just a handful. We're thrilled with our improved decor.

Please keep the love coming for one more week by writing to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107. Be sure to include your username, since we'll be drawing the names of ten random contributors next Thursday to win paid account credits!

Photos of the week

We have more dazzling images posted by talented LiveJournal photographers from around the world. We're hoping to span the entire globe, so please continue posting and tagging. Of course, you can also sit back and enjoy the view at lj_photophile.

You can see a sample of this week's gorgeous photos and check out spotlight communities and awesome user content after the jump!

Bionic woman no more!

Just realised how long i haven't updated this space. Life's been good, especially since i'm done with exams and the first sem in school. Nothing beats having a nice & long holiday :) And plus, i'm really looking forward to December cos 1) BKK with shi & bel, 2) Korea with mom & shan, 3) Christmas, 4) JL's, bel's, piggy's & matty's birthday 5) New year! So many things to look forward to in the month of December.. can't wait!

Also had my surgery this morning to remove the metal inplants in my collarbone. Op was at around 10am and i was up and awake by 11ish. One of the nurses actually said it's her first time seeing someone so cheerful right after an op cos i was under general anesthesia. She was also really nice when i told her i wanted to be discharged early. So am still home after taking a longggg nap earlier on.

I really wanna go to Mustafa to get jelly cups later, any takers?

Network Maintenance: Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 04:00-06:00 UTC/GMT
EDIT@08:16 UTC/GMT. Wow. That was ugly. I expected it to go for 30 minutes and have maybe 1 minute of broken connectivity. Instead it lasted over 4 hours and we had 10 minutes of downtime directly related to the load balancer upgrades and then another 5-10 minutes of downtime when our primary Pingback database server crashed and the secondary couldn't take over; which could have been indirectly caused by the network upgrade missing a self-VIP.

Anyways, we're up, we're working, the load balancers are barely breaking a sweat right now and I need some food and a shot of whiskey. I don't even *like* whiskey!!

Thanks

mhwest and

dnewhall for helping out!

---

On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice.

Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials.

We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait!

As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work.

The adverts for 13th November has me reminiscing about the sunflower from that time. :X

A sweet gesture not reciprocated.

Current Mood: nostalgic

Everyday, I give thanks for being born within this family
Because playing computer games makes my head spin and cause my world to go upside down. Headache now. UGH! Gemini Lost has yet again reminded me of the very reason why I don't play computer games. I like them when first introduced, fall deeply in love and thus get hooked...but before the day ends, it gives me a headache.

Drove in to Malaysia yesterday for the inspection of our house. Though the drive there took us less then two hours, spending the whole day there made me miss home nonetheless. ((: Didn't manage to snap pictures of the house because it was really dusty and most of our time was spent inspecting the house and deciding what furniture we were going to have to get.

our house amongst the rest

the stables and riding place

us goofing around at the mock-up

mummy and me sitting on the dusty balcony, enjoying the view and wind

Although I must admit that the place there is big and nice, with the wind and view and all, HOME is really the BEST! ♥ Wouldn't give up my home for anything else. (:

Off to sketch my bed...

What are you waiting for?

I wonder if you were listening, or merely hearing.
The thing about blogging is, when you hit 'POST', your thoughts and entry becomes public for all to see. Which can really be a little freaky cause sometimes, over time, you may think to yourself 'oh no one reads this...so it's ok' only to have the most random person, or THE person come to you and ask casually whether if the entry was in reference to him or herself.

So, usually, you either blog about it subtly and hope that it was subtle enough; and that no one knows you well enough to know what you are referring to exactly. OR. choose not to mention it at all, which defeats the point of blogging when even your contents have to be so restricted. OR. lock your entries. to friends only. or just you, yourself and no one else.

Oh but what the hell seriously. Or maybe not.

Though I must say that I am guilty as charged for the following myself, it just irks me when you take it for granted. RAH.

And so, today.

Went to school and ended up late because I only left home at 8.15am for my 8.30am class. (: Took the bus nonetheless because I simply love the rides. ♥ Despite having to drop my $2 dollar note cause I had no EZ-link card nor coins whatsoever. Should so resolute to get one and top it up. HA.

Lunch was at THE korean restaurant from last week and it was less packed this time round. We had some kimchi streamboat (yes. it says STREAMBOAT in the menu.) that was too spicy and sour for my palate but we sort of finished it anyway.

After lunch, with our stomachs way to full to simply sit in the car and drive off, we walked and explored the row of shops along that stretch before finally heading off to the museum.

(*haven't got ALL the pictures so I will update this space later!)

Anyway, after the museum, we headed to the movies to catch 'Astroboy!'. (: I wasn't holding high hopes of a fun time because Astroboy was not really my childhood companian. Besides, the seats we bought were (quote) nine rows in front of the screen and I was really dreading to have to cock my head upwards at an awkward angle to watch some animated character do his thing.

BUT...I enjoyed the movie. Surprisingly.

Walked around for a bit after the movie before dinner alfresco style. We weren't hungry and had simply wanted a place and some 'nibbles' but got more then we bargained for eventually. (:

Tomorrow's going to be another day. And many more days before next Saturday strikes.

Time to study and get to that never ending to do list.

"I'm lonely. Why do you think I had to learn to act so independent? I also get mad too quickly, and I hog the covers, and my second toe is longer than my big one. My hair has it's own zip code. Plus, I get certifiably crazy when I've got PMS. You don't love someone because they're perfect. You love them in spite of the fact that they're not."
