How did it came by

I've finally completed the new skin and template for my blog.
Previously i had the harbor template, a stock template from blogger.com
The new skin gave my blog the "trysty" feel to it, something that i was trying to implement into my blog to compliment the theme ' Finding tryst'.
Now I sum my blog with 3 words- "Quotesy, Lovesy and Wordsy."

I use simple programs such as Paint and ACDSee 4.0 to create the conceptual tryst. Adobe Photoshop CS was not fully utilized because my trial period has expired and changes was already made during my holidays back home.
I also use stock pictures from deviantart.com
The concept is simple yet full of depth. Creating an atmosphere(tryst) by selecting certain crops of images and placing them accordingly(mosaic). Before the changes, finding-tryst.blogspot.com would be like staring directly at a lightbulb.(Try opening MS Word on your computer with all the lights off in your room to get the picture.)

I would like to use this opportunity to thank a few people for making this happen,

Mr. James Tie for relentlessly giving support to my blog entries and contructively brainstormed issues.
Huimei for insistently fluttering by with supportive great ideas and for being a superb company.
Thye Shin for giving me pointers and technical advice on the template.
CK for the best of times.
maY for being the excellent fashion consultant and photographer.(She took my profile picture.)
Karen Ooi for being the impetus ever since the beginning.
Jenn for the good reads.
Vickie for compliments.

For my source of inspiration, i thank God and my parents for bringing me up so atypically.
For the best of friends, Deborah, Kim, CK and HiL.
Thanks also to deviantart and Loobylu for artistic inspiration.
I would also like to thank acquaintance Nizar for the encouraging support and enthusiastic remarks. Acquaintance Aaron(Aaronology) for the good feedback. And to all readers.

Thank you.
