Busy Busy

I realised that it has been quite some time since I last blogged (in March), BUT i did not stop blogging actually. Since starting my food blog, I have been working hard on it and I think I should be happy with my results so far! 43,165 pageviews for the 132 posts since end of 2012. Not that I have been promoting a lot, those feedback I received from friends had keep me going. haha. I am such a amateur blogger, hence not expecting any fans! =D But if you happened to like my review, do help to share lar!~

Don't forget to check out my food blog!

Once a while, I also pop by my another blog, Cookies in Jar, to post things that I feel like sharing! As mentioned before, I think, I prefer to keep this blog more undercover as I have such a long history/past in the archives that does not seems to be good for too many people to read. Ok, its all those boring rants I had last time... and the quizzes that I did which no longer around...

Over the past few months, I saw a couple of friends turn into blogger too. Probably should do some mention them here... They are fellow (singlish) food blogger Edwin (Ho Jiak Bo?), the Candyman KY (Sweet Man Talking) and Travel & Food blogger Jacelyn (杰思琳 Travelogue & Foodie Adventures). Do check them out once awhile... (after checking my own blogs out! haha)

I have also been revamping the things I posted on my Instagram which is now more food-focused. Once awhile, I will post some cafe or travel photos. I am glad that there are a few pictures that are quite well received! (40+ likes!) I am easily contented. Of course, I will be happier with more likes! Well, let nature takes its own course...

I have yet to post any of my travel pictures from Myanmar, Perth and New Zealand (South Island). It takes a while for me to have the mood to post I guess... Things happened over the past few months, hence I have actually not been feeling too well, emotionally. But not to worry, its over for now. Probably will post it in another post! =)

Travelling around in camper-van in South Island

What other things have I done over the last couple of months... Hmmm

Oh, I was engaged in casual pre-wedding shoot for two couples (friends). Speaking of this, I have not edit the photos for their last shoot yet! Oops. Planned to get it done by this weekend as I will be meeting them over the weekend. Wanted to do it today, but ended up listening to the song and got the 'feel' to blog! haha... I am nervous about the outcome of the shoot but glad that one of the couple like what I did for them over the past two shoots. I have the last set of photos of them to process! I refrained myself from posting the photos before their wedding. But I guess its alright to post one, right? =)

Other than the photoshoot, I had also completed the #100HappyDays project. Will go into it with more details in my other post! =)

A new year, A new blog

Finally, my blog has seen some 'light'. I mean I finally revamped my blog page to a brighter one. Ditching the dark colours (like finally!), I went for white and brighter colours for the page! Hope your eyes will feel much better! =D

The Unspoken Voice (2004 - 2014)

Guess my blogging style will continues what I did in 2012. Slowly evolving over the years, I think it is not hard to observe the difference if one had read my blog for years. So I shall not elaborate on the changes! haha! Might change the title of the blog when I think of one (soon).

Recently, I have been focusing more on my food blog, Critic's Critic, as compared to this blog. A food blog is something I wanted to do in 2011! Hence, I am glad that it has been running for a year. Not like the usual professional, full-time bloggers, I am more like someone who have an alternative views to offer to the places people went. I love desserts & coffee especially! So, it is not surprising that I covers more cafes than restaurants... I also try to make my own when I am free!

Anyway, the travel blog is ongoing too. But I am not someone who can do a good job in multitasking, I engaged a friend to help me too and she is more active in blogging there than me! The blog name is not confirmed yet, but the tentative address is this... Since we are not ready to show the blog to the world, we are keeping it under wrap. As for photography, I created a Facebook page to share my photos to more people. But as my laptop is down for a long time, I am not that active there too. =D

I was shock to see that I am into blogging for more than 10 years, evolving from ranting to a more objective oriented blog. I hope that I can keep this going, even though I do not have any followers! haha. The Unspoken Voice has been around for more than 9 years! It is time for some good changes... =)

中英雙語 = Bilingual?

中英雙語 = Bilingual?

剛和朋友聊到博客的話題發現自己竟然是少數在博客以中英雙語發表意見，思想的人!

其實很少會去想到這問題，通常腦子裡想的東西確實比較容易以中文來表達吧。或許是因為中文是我在日常生活慣用的語言。但當然對於我來說，使用電腦書寫英文會是比較方便，較容易。因為我打中文字必須通過'南極之星'，相較之下會麻煩些。

雖然如此﹐為了進步中文﹐我仍然繼續努力以中文些博客。我永遠不會忘記在中學時被中文老師講評說自己的語文表達欠佳﹐能拿個‘B3’其實已經很好了。雖然有點傷心﹐但這畢竟是事實。唯一能做的是不放棄﹐繼續努力﹗

若沒忘記﹐我的英文也是通過書寫的方式有所進步。我不敢說自己英文好﹐更不用說我精通雙語﹗若現在的我的英語很差﹐你可以想象當時的程度﹗But hey, at least I can convey effectively in English (ignoring all the grammar mistakes that I may make)! 呵呵﹗

能看到自己不是在友人中唯一的‘博客’時﹐真的很棒﹗我會繼續下去﹗

Boring Blog

He is a camwhore but his blog is colorful & yes, I vote for him... he is.... TypicalBen. His blog is full of Youth and definitely one of the key new gen blgoger. I will look towards his style and be more open or, in another words, thicker skin! Its good to be thick-skin at times. For me, i am too shy! Honestly! Do check out his bro's link in his blog too. They look like twins!

Another that caught my eye under the individual category includes 范的涂鸦空间 by F@N. Many cute comics are uploaded and post there. Though not a lot of post but i guess it is not easy to maintain a comic-style blog. Hence, that is a commendable effort!

This year's Singapore Blog Awards 2011 caught my attention and put shame to my blog... at least i find my blog dull and boring despite a change of colors and format had actually make my blog more lively. But still there is a lot of room for improvement. Though i have urge to create travel blog & food blog. I will stick to this personal blog first... but rest assure, i will try to revamp the site after so many years under "The Unspok3n Voice".

Who knows, i may get nominated in 2012 edition! =) Apart from the revamped, the business blog idea had been dismissed but there is a possiblity of creating a photography/travel blog or a food one that compliment my HGW account! Watch out my space here!

bloggin' history

YR 2002 :: After my god-sis introduce her blog to me... i find it kinda interesting and having the adventurous and free thinking... i post whatever i liked... and there i have it... my very first edition of blog, A SouL In dA sKy...

YR 2003 :: Soon, blogging became part of my life and living in the urban, definitely changed my mind and soul... Becoming more modern... more trendy... as my character was also being mould into another fighter in this tough world... The UrBaN SouL~ was borned...

Late YR 2003~2004 :: When i became totally memerised in the urban world... i felt hollow within myself... feeling that people around me heard and saw who i was... but not whom i really was deep in my heart... There was something in my heart that i wasn't able to share merely by talking to my friends... Hence, i felt there was A Voice Within Me yet to be heard by the world...

Late YR 2004~2005 :: When i felt that the blog is getting dull and the voice within me wasn't enough to show people that they had not heard from it... ThE UnSp0k3N vOicE took over the job and continues trying to speak up... There you have... the blog...
