hendrikch.com – Hendrik Christian Blog on Daily Life

Sorry for not being able to update as often as I would like, so I decided that “Upcoming Post” will be a great place to jot down my thoughts as what I would like to post next, so keep watching this space for new post.

The Journo is currently having a poll to vote for the best web blog.
Click here to visit his site and vote for the best blog. I trust you know which blog to vote?

The Journo, independent journalist has published his review about the blog of yours truly, www.hendrikch.tk and gave it a rating of 4 1/4 out of 5 stars. Good score I should say.

Below are the comments given:
Your site was quite interesting ! I love the choice of topics, very different from the stuff I’ve been reading lately. I especially liked your entry made on Friday, The 13th of August, 2004 with the title ‘You know your blog waaaay too much when…’ – it was hilarious.
Great wrapping of images to text, adequate amount of entries, extended tag board – all great.
Although I might agree with The Mentor on some level, with your site being a bit too plain, I’m not going to deduct a lot for that – I quite like the simplicity, adds a nice touch to it.
The reason why I don’t have a lot to say for your site, is because, there is nothing to whinge about. So, you can expect a 4 1/4 out of 5 good, don’t you think ? Great stuff you have going on here.

Read them all here.
Thanks for the review The Journo.

Personal domain name at last, introducing hendrikch.info!!!!!
I have just signed up today, and now it’s already working, great stuff.
Give it a try at http://www.hendrikch.info
Now I have two websites from which you can access my blog, namely http://www.hendrikch.tk and http://www.hendrikch.info
Note that I have only signed hendrikch.info for the next one year, which will expire by 03 September 2005.
hendrikch.tk meanwhile, should be working fine forever, until the company closes down or until I decided to get hendrikch.com instead.
Also, with great domain, comes great new design. hahaha…
Have a nice weekend everyone.

So, have you blogged too much?

Hi all, especially pat2 and dian.

ok, I actually wanted to write this few days back to reply comments to this post, just didn’t have a chance to write one. I will write on my activities for the next one month or so in the coming days. One thing for sure, don’t forget this Friday is NTU ISCF Musical 2004 “My QUESTion”. Be there.

in fact, after I thought again on what you all were saying, I think we are not right nor wrong.

In one side, yes, it is my blog, who cares? but on the other side, if the readers (all of you) doesn’t like what I write here, or at least more and more stuffs that you don’t understand here, would you come and come again?

No? and if nobody come here again, will I have the encouragement to continue my blog knowing I am the only person who actually read my own blog? No.

So, all in all, it’s true that this is my blog and not a magazine where I need to satisfy everyone, but let’s make this a two-way interactive “community”, shall we? You all happy and keep coming, I am happy, and I will keep posting to make you happy to make me happy, and so on …. in ideal world that is, but I do have high hope.

You know, I was just wondering, should I post more blogs about myself, you know, personal stuff, daily rants and struggles, thoughts, etc.? I was thinking if all of you prefer those type of blogs since I think I haven’t really posted any blogs that are personal lately.
Any suggestions on what kind of posts should I regularly post? And by regularly, it certainly doesn’t mean every day, but what kind of time interval is acceptable? Two days? three? one week?
