I have to finish my design, actually... but the ideas are still outta space. So I tried to surf on the internet and... I found this site. It's quite tiny-post (like a twitter) but I'm sure I'll post the better ones later.

Berjalan-jalan

For those of you who know me in Australia you will know that I’ve always lived on the crazy side of life and like Cyclone Tracey I tear a path through anywhere I go mixing it up; why? Because life is boring otherwise. It helps to have a short attention ... Read more >
