Open house at Sheylara.com!! (Thank you, SingNet!)

- Sheylara 71 Comments

I received a good news e-mail from SingTel’s corporate communications department this morning, telling me that the access issue at my blog has been fixed!

I also read some of your comments in my other posts that you’re finally able to access my blog.

THREE CHEERS!!

No, wait, why so conservative?

THREE BILLION CHEERS!! =D

I would like to thank all my readers for bearing with the situation over the last few weeks and for taking the time to feedback to me and to help me with testing and trace route reports.

I would like to thank readers who didn’t give up on my blog and for continuously trying to access it!

I also want to thank SingNet for heeding my SOS e-mail and going all out to help me fix the problem. The technical support people even contacted my USA webhost to work on resolving the issue.

I’m really impressed that they bothered to help me and went on to tackle the problem with great efficiency!

Well, looks like it’s working now! *cross fingers*

So, I am declaring today Open House Day at Sheylara.com!!

*lol*

Er… please come in and visit, make yourself at home, um, help yourself to some virtual refreshments.

Well, the Internet is virtual, anyway.

I will be online all day (doing work, in case you’re wondering) so drop in and chat with me through my comments! =)

And have a great day ahead!

I’m really pleased with the response to this contest. The only regret I have is that I don’t have enough prizes to give to everyone who participated.

Not to fret, though. I will be holding more contests in the future, so watch out for them!

My blog got nominated in Ping.sg! Whee!

Hey, cool. I just realised my blog has been nominated for Most Entertaining Blog in the Ping.sg 1st Anniversary Blog Awards.

Most Entertaining Blog

Haha. Thanks, whoever nominated me.

Well, I’m not going to ask people to vote for me because my last experiment was a raging failure. I asked my supposedly hundreds of blog readers to kindly vote for me to bump me to the first page of ranking. But, to date, I have 13 votes. Yippee.

I understand it’s a pain having to register at the website in order to vote, so I’m not really complaining. It’s fine. But I sincerely thank all 13 of you who voted for me. I know who you are! ;)

Anyway, back to Ping.sg.

I got to know about Ping.sg when I attended BlogOut 2007. It’s a nice site with a friendly growing community. I don’t really hang out there since I don’t really know them, but it’s great receiving a nomination, anyway.

Only members can vote, so, yes, you have to register in order to vote for me. So, don’t vote if you hate registering. Vote if you really find my blog entertaining and feel compelled to +1 me.

Click here to vote if you feel like it. Mine is the 4th blog in the Most Entertaining category.

Whether you vote or not is not important. What’s important is that I appreciate you reading my blog and I hope you continue to enjoy reading my blog because I like writing stuff for people.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! =)
