After pondering over ways to make this place more interesting and interactive, I have finally decided to incorporate some music. Now this brings a problem. You see, I think those sites which have music played automatically are damn irritating. How often do u eagerly click onto someone's blog, and then some ridiculous music starts playing, prompting you to either
1) set the volume to mute 2) close that page immediately and leave the site 3) start cursing about the poor taste in music 4) more than 1 of the above
I shall not name specific blogs, and no disrespect to the owners of these auto-music blogs, but these blogs are just pure crap and irritating, and the authors probably not that far off too. Taking this into consideration, I therefore decided not to have music played automatically the moment this page is loaded for these 2 reasons:
1) it takes so much longer for the page to load, when the music has to come on to 2) the 4 reasons already given above
Now, having decided on the direction I wanted to go, I faced another problem. How do I come up with those funny html codes to insert into the site template? For the majority out there, I am literally an html dork, so I spent some 1 hr plus, combing through the internet for relevant sites to refer to. Finally, I found something decent, and the end product is here for all to see .... and hear.
To the right of this column, you will probably see my face. Below that, you will see something that vaguely resembles a music player. Well, click on it if you feel for some cool sentimental music. But hey, if you prefer some serenity, feel free to simply avoid touching that player. But personally, whether or not the music is on, the atmosphere is still tranquil and serene, cos this song I've selected is really really nice.
Including lyrics would probably seem distracting, so this is just an instrumental version of Gary Barlow's "Forever Love". Enjoy!
And if you feel energetic, you can karoake along to the song too!!
