About

This is Suanie Hi, I am Suanie. It’s a nickname, and part of my real name.

Female, mid-late twenties, Malaysian Chinese, Starbucks aficionado.

As of today, I am still single, still unmarried, still overweight and still oblivious to the notion that I’d be much happier if I were not single and not overweight.

I hail from Batu Pahat (Johor). I currently live in Petaling Jaya (Selangor).

My grammar is atrocious. My spelling isn’t any better and I make no apologies for them.

I try not to do too much for a living. I can tell you that it doesn’t work.
(But yes, I have a day job).

Sometimes I am a Buddhist, sometimes I am a Pastafarian. Sometimes I am just an emo fuck.

I think that soupy Klang bak kut teh is great. I think that we are not alone in this universe and beyond. I also think that the world revolves around me, so there’s not much you can say that would make me think otherwise.

I owned and majorly used a Nokia N95 for many months. Then I was given a Nokia N82. I absolutely adore both phones, but am primarily using the Nokia N82 now because of its better camera-taking capabilities.

I am a relatively quiet person IRL. I can’t think of a better person than myself for me to spend quality time with.

I think I am funny.

I care in my own caring ways.

I often contradict myself, I am an intellectual-wannabe.

One Hoegaarden White to rule them all. But I won’t say no to other booze, especially if I need not pay for them. Unless it’s Guinness. Then you can have it. I can’t take that stuff.

When I grow up, you’d be the first to know.

If you want to, you can contact me here.

I have been on the Net since 1996. While I am not a technical geek, I can be an Internet culture geek a.k.a whatever the hell you want to call it. I know that no one cares :D

Timeline:

Year 1999

Suan Online on Tripod I created a simple website ‘Suan’s Corner’ and later ‘Suan Online’ (I was young and terribly unimaginative) using Trellix, hosted for free on Tripod. It was a static website, and I semi-frequently updated a section called ‘Life’s Like That’; works somewhat like blogs today. At that time, I was a die-hard Michael Jackson fan (and even smeared my bedroom wall with ‘I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON FOREVER!’ using a green marker, which didn’t please my mom at all) and created a web shrine for him. I scoured the net for MJ and the Jackson 5’s history, and the MJ shrine consisted of his history growing up, discography, lyrics and photos. It was very well-received, mind you… 12 - 15 year old girls (mostly from the USA) would e-mail me with messages for MJ or myself, thanking me for the shrine ;)

The shrine is long gone but some of my old time readers fondly remember the phase (i.e. Edder)

I was also heavily involved with my local YBF (Young Buddhist Fellowship) activities, and had a large section on Buddhism, alongside with my youthful rants thought up by a near-20 year old kiddo. In fact if you would give a shit and read back the Buddhism stuff that I wrote, you’d see how I’d matured in my thinking over the years (or not).

Year 2003 - 2004

Suanie on bBlog During this time I’d bought ‘Suanie.com’ for a year or two, can’t really remember. ShaolinTiger decided to make me a proper blog using bBlog as my birthday present. I had a wicked time deleting a lot of my old stuff on the Tripod-hosted site.

In 2004 ‘Suanie.com’ expired. I was unable to repurchase the domain using a different domain reseller in time - damn you cyber squatters! So I had no choice but to purchase ‘Suanie.net’ instead and moved most of my entries in tBlog with I had been using during the wait-out period. All my entries from ‘Suanie.com’ were lost because I conveniently forgot to backup the databases. Life goes on ;)

Year 2005

While bBlog has its good points, it also has many disadvantages for a non-technical geek. I was manually deleting up to 200 - 400 spam comments and trackbacks a DAY, plus the development was a tad slow (though the community was brilliant). So in Oct 2005 I decided to jump ship to Wordpress and deleted a lot of my older entries in the process. Just something I often do when I get into one of my moods.

2005 was also the year when my blog received some publicity in the local media.

Year 2006 - 2007

I tweaked my blog templates a couple of times; below is a shot of what Suanie.net main page looked like with KY’s awesome background drawing.

And the image below was a print screen of what it looked like before I switched themes and made Suanie.net to a 3-column.

I’ll run this blog for as long as I feel like blogging. I blog because I want to and because I can. Stop asking me already.
