Just a normal (NOT) hi-tech working mum trying to survive a hi-tech world!

Anyone reading my blog lately, would have noticed the changes to the layout and settings which I've been making every other day to it! I'm not completely computer illiterate but my knowledge of all things hi-tech come only from playing around with these irritating gadgets. When you play the piano, you can say something to the effect of 'Oh, I've passed my Grade 8 piano exams' so when that person plays, you kinda expect them to be of a certain calibre. But when it comes to hi-tech gadgets, what's the glass ceiling? There is no finish line. It just keeps moving away.

I want to kiss whoever it is at MOE (Ministry of Education) who insisted that all teachers have to be IT trained. If not for those long hours of training conducted after school hours (and during the school holidays), I would still be blur about all this computer whatchamicallits! It also helped that my current employer (of 9 years) threw me into the swim or sink environment and I've had to deal with all imagineable problems to do with the computer. So much so that it's become innate that when a problem comes up with the computer or a programme, my frustration leads me to want to find a solution (or I won't be able to sleep in peace)! So much so, that I've become pretty mesmerized everytime I walk into a computer store; fidgeting with the gadgets in delight!

An ex-colleague (a very girly, girly, pretty air-headed one) once commented that I was weird liking all this stuff because only 'men like it'.
I'm trying hard to climb these mountains but I'm struggling to keep up with the times. All the gadgets that this millenium has thrown at us and is still throwing at us, it's simply wonderful yet crazy!

I can write, I can draw, I can paint and I want a darn good blog and website (sob! and I want it for free!) to show for it but there's no one there to teach me (for free, that is)! So I continue to experiment.

Bear with me. Just like I'm bearing with my Google Adsense advertisements disappearing on me all the time! Sigh (no actually, screeeaaaammmmm!). When the Public Service Ads start appearing, it probably means I've been doing something not quite right. I've gotta figure this out! I've gotta figure this out!
