Muslims worldwide will be celebrating the Eid ul-Fitr by end of the month, and Malaysians in particular are in joyous mood as the Eid holiday will coincide with our Independence Day, making it a long holiday for many folks.
I’m taking this chance to have a break as well. My life is a bit jaded for the past few months, it’s time to take a rest and re-prioritise some stuff. There will be no updates on this blog for the rest of August, will be back in early September.
Happy Eid to all Muslims, happy holiday fellow Malaysians, good days everyone.

First major blog template switch since 2007. The previous theme was self customised; it worked pretty well, but due to technical issues it’s time to get a more professional template, which provides some extra functions beside a different look.
For the record, the old blog template looked something like this…
If you prefer the old standard blog format, you can follow the “Blog” or “All Blog Posts” link (http://yeinjee.com/blog/) at the top navigation bar. You might want to update your bookmark/favourite as well, for your future convenient.
The template switch should have no effect on RSS/email subscribers.
Btw, some of you might be using the old RSS address. You should still be able to receive blog updates, but to ensure any unwanted interruption in future, kindly check that you are subscribed to http://feeds.feedburner.com/yeinjee and not other feed address.
Feedbacks are welcome. Sorry for the trouble, if there’s any.

It’s Lunar New Year’s eve, best wishes to everyone who’s celebrating it. I’ll be taking a blogging-break, updates will resume by around February 14.
Till then, sharing some photos from last year’s Seollal (Korean New Year) when I was in Seoul, at the Namsangol Hanok Village in Jung-gu…
Namsangol Hanok Village is a cultural village with five restored traditional Korean houses and huge garden. Visitors can experienced various traditional stuff (arts & games etc.) on normal days; and it’s a popular place for the locals to celebrate Seollal, with extra activities being held during the festive period.

Chinese New Year is arriving on Sunday. This would be the first time I’m not celebrating it in Malaysia; an early wish to my family and friends… Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Sharing a CNY song (a rare English one) by Malaysian songwriter Lleon. Simple tune, cute animation, fitting theme (it’s the year of tiger in Chinese calendar)…
Best wishes as well to the all other folks who are celebrating the lunar new year.
