By the time you read this post, I’m on my flight to Miri, Sarawak, to pursue my studies for 3rd Semester, 1st Year, Applied Geology at Curtin University of Technology, Sarawak Campus. Enjoy reading!

Firstly, I wanted to have my own codes and design, which was not provided by Opera. Secondly, WordPress seems to be a very nice blogging platform as it was crafted for blogging purpose. Im not saying that, other CMS is not good or not suitable for blogging; they do, it is just that, they need a little bit tweaks and adjustment to become a very good blogging platform as they are not mainly develop for blogging.
