The positive side of life

Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun every year.

How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you’re on.

Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer you live.

Happiness comes through doors you didn’t even know you left open.

Ever notice that the people who are late are often much jollier than the people who have to wait for them?

Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us.

If Carrefour is lowering prices every day, how come nothing is free yet?

You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors….but they all exist very nicely in the same box…

So remember to always look on the bright side of life!

This was sent in by my good friend Christopher Terry. Thanks!

It's been a long undertaking, effort and time, and now I am finally able to present to you my personal Flash website called BQonline! www.BQonline.tk

I remember the first time I decided to put my web designing skills to good use way back when I was in University (2003) taking classes in Multimedia design. As I have an avid interest in all things technology and the Internet, I breeze through those classes having gained an appreciation for the design esthetics of a website and what it takes to attract an audience.

That was when I came up with designing my own personal webpage featuring a portfolio of my coursework and some additional information on yours truly. I felt that it was a chance for me to showcase what I can do with my creativity, hence, BQonline was conceptualized!! Although I am not the least happy to tell you it took me more than 3 years to finally get it up but I am definitely satiated with the fact that I have a website to call my own. To tell you the truth, BQonline can never get done. It can never be perfect. It will always be a work in progress. Like a sculpture that's being carved to hopefully one day to become a masterpiece. (Being a relative novice, its highly unlikely for the foreseeable future, but who knows?)

I've always been a fan of Flash-based websites. It's a great platform for one to showcase dynamic animation, fun interactive multimedia design. A few of my favourite sites (which I gained inspiration from) include the 2advanced.net, Pixelranger.com and Neostream.com and not forgetting the web's best flash resource for Flash designers and developers, Flashkit.com.

Do you have a favourite website to share? Please do tell me! I would love to know!

In the meantime, surf over to my website www.BQonline.tk and tell me what you think and how I can improve on it.

"Enjoy life to the full and have fun always!"

Answer: It's when you stop chasing your dreams, your goals, your ambitions. SO DON'T STOP!

I read this in the latest issue of Reader's Digest and I thought I'd share it with you. Very poignant and it serves as a reminder to us to never give up and to always pursue your dreams despite the odds, obstacles and hardships.  If you fail, then you just have to find it in you to pick yourself up and try, try again. Dare to fail! 

So it took me this long to finally take the plunge to start my own blog. There were many reasons why I did not begin one much sooner, as I presumed that I did not have the necessary writing proficiency to keep anyone interested for so long. Plus, I do not want to give the impression that I do not have a strong command of the English language. Nevertheless, those were that old days when I had a strong tendency to be a perfectionist in whatever I do and cared everything about what people might perceive of me. Well, I guess I’ve sobered. This is a complete turnaround for me, having ‘grown up’ and knowing that the most important thing is to stay true to one’s self and live life the way I want to and not subject myself to conformity.

As I have always been an avid reader, I enjoy every aspects of literature and had always enjoyed writing. This blog would be an excellent platform for me to nurture and hone my writing skills as well as to express and bring out the creative side in me. Like some famous guy once said, “Let your creativity shine though and never let it be stifled” Hence, I give you TheBQExperiment. Welcome! My personal space in the infinite WorldWide Web for me to experiment, to inform and educate, to nurture and to discover. My objective? To make a difference and I hope to reach out in any way that I can, a vow to help change the world for the better, starting with the change in me, to create a life of meaning, fulfillment, passion and purpose.

There’s one more thing. Some questionable questions I ponder: Who’s gonna read my blog? Will I ever find an audience? Honestly I don’t care if no one ever reads this blog. But to those whom will, I truly hope that you will at least enjoy and be entertained and be informed and be enlightened.
I would love it if you do take some time out of your busy life to come here and hang out with me. Treat TheBQExperiment as a casual space, a teh-tarik mamak stall-like table where you and I can discuss whatever the heck we want to, no holds-bar. And please do share your comments and whatever ramblings you have on your mind.

Last but not least, I thank you in advance for visiting TheBQExperiment. I really do wish you will enjoy the content that I will put out on a regular basis. Lastly, do enjoy life, live life to the max and make the most of it. We only live once!
