That is nice how you are coming back thewhitefrozone.
I’m glad to hear it!
Welcome back!
I began to miss you.
Hellooo nurse! I mean, everyone. I’m back (for the mo). Lots of things have happened since my last appearance:
-
I got a job with the biggest print organisation in Singapore. If you wanna look it up, it’s called ‘SPH’. I’m employed as a ‘journalist’, but I’m really a sub-editor. So the kinda tasks I do is proofread and tweak the reporter’s stories, do a little paragraph arranging, and basically be the last ‘line of defense’ to keep any mistakes out of the paper. The paper I work for is really a ‘mosquito press’ free tabloid that they give out at train stations and various distribution points, but hopefully I’ll be able to work my way up to the main broadsheet, ‘The Straits Times’. As an interesting note, this is one of only two media companies that publish newspapers (the other is Mediacorp). So really, we don’t have much in terms of media diversitfication or press liberties, and the hours (2 pm to 11 pm) are kinda odd, but I’m not complaining!
-
I’ve resigned from my previous graphic designer job and said farewell to all my friends in Sydney. I also had the opportunity to meet up with Phileas aka Gabe in the city before my departure. Yes folks, he’s a truly remarkable person in real-life and every bit as cheerful and good-natured as you imagine him. We went to watch the (headache-inducing) battleship and hung out for coffee afterwards, so it was good to finally see him in-person. I also went for a family trip to Melbourne and with my friends to the Kiama Blowholes. I will miss the friends I made Down Under, but my siblings are still there, so hopefully I can catch up wtih them again in the future.
-
I’ve moved back to Singapore, the country where I’ve spent my high-school years and half my life in. It’s kinda weird to be back in the same apartment from five years ago (although it’s a different unit) and basically play house-sitter for my parents (they’re moving back to our homeland, Malaysia), but hey, at least there’s no rent!
-
I’ve got an iPad last Christmas, and an iPhone two months before that, both of which I’ve been eagerly downloading apps onto. These devices may not have the best specs (You should really go with Samsung or Acer for better value), but man, are there so many awesome games and apps to try! And nothing beats reading My Little Pony fanfiction on iBook!
-
Speaking of which, I’ve been actively participating in the Brony community both in New South Wales and Singapore (the latter during my annual trip back). I’ve also appeared on EQD a couple of times (mostly cos’ I’ve been bugging Seth/pre-readers with my pony cameos in my former company’s magazine) and I hope to write some fanfiction or do some fanvideos over the next few months. Tonight I’ll watch Season 2’s finale, and then it’s many months of agony until the next season.
-
My grandmother of 70+ years passed away on Monday in the presence of my parents. This is the wonderful lady who I will always remember giving me those cheek-sucking kisses and bone-crushing hugs as a kid and attempting to speak to us in Hokkien and broken Malay. She will be dearly missed, rest her soul.
So that’s pretty much it, a lot of things have changed, yet much of it has remained the same. I have big plans in the coming months - a relaunch of my Youtube channel (Prepare for a REALLY BIG REVEAL), some new video-editing programs I’ve been playing with, a couple of fanfics and fanart in the pipeline, and hopefully enough time and courage to pursue them. Here’s to a great summer ahead! ![]()
Welcome back TDIT. We need a Globle Mod since Star dosen’t get on much anymore.
Welcome back TDIT!
Welcome Back TDIT. And also sorry about your grandmother passing away. ![]()
Welcome back TDIT!
I might be away for a couple of weeks again. Really have nothing to say and feel kind of “left out.”
We’ll miss you. Please, try not to be gone too long.
Oh yeah, this is my 1500th post.
I’m sorry that you feel that way Jordan. I’ll miss you if you do go.
Congratulations Geoff.
I will miss you Jordan.
Awesome Geoff-uk1234.
I’m kind of back. Been super busy with college and programming and forum and chat room moderation.
These days you don’t miss much. The forums have been quiet the last week or two. It will get a tad better once summer starts.
Welcome back Modeltrainman.

EDIT: I redid the Pixar Planet rankings in the Classification thread to make the stats up to date if you’re interested! viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1618&start=570#p393342
