New Blog Layout!

Yay! Finally done with my layout! :) Bye bye my two years layout.

And after I'm done with this new layout.. only I realised that I forgot to print screen my previous layout. Sigh.. wanted to have a last memory of it. :(

Flunyway, it's so refreshing to see this new layout right? And also, finally, I've come up with a decent name for my blog! I'm so bad at giving names I've never named my blog properly. The previous layout were "Yeok Ho's Blog" and "Welcome" ... ughh, lamest to the core.

As you can see from this new layout, its theme is city! :) I don't know why but lately I've been so fascinated by the cities around the world. Looking at the views and photos of cities are giving me this very magical and calm feeling even though I know life in cities is usually hectic. The main header of my blog comes from this photo:


It's such a lovely photo. Because this time I took my sources all over the net, I don't know who it belongs to. I don't even know which city this photo belongs to, but if you know, please do tell me. I'll make it a point to visit it someday.

I originally wanted a layout with a slightly cuter and yet still edgier design compared to the last one. I initially wanted to do a simple animation but then later scraped that idea off cos' I'm simply too dumb and lazy.
And then I changed and even drew a girl (but not me, just a random girl holding a random flower looking like very serene and pure and innocent like that but really, she's just thinking of what to cook for dinner) but then again, I was too dumb. The picture wasn't very nice also and I don't think it's a really edgy design. It was more towards artistic but I want edgy and sexayyyy...muahahahah! Flunyway, finally came up with this city idea. I arranged all my widgets above my main post mainly for these reasons:


  1. I want people to be able to see my widgets all at once. 
  2. Also, arranging them together like that is kinda like how the buildings in the cities are built. They're all cramped together with many many things and shops to see even in a small space. 
  3. I want my post body to get full attention from y'all when it's read. Words and pictures can be seen clearer to get a better experience also. : D
I deleted a lot of links from my friends. In fact I didn't want to link to any other blogs anymore because not many people do that nowadays but well, out of respect for a few of my friends who still links me back and since I've had their links in my blog for so long, I guess, I'll still put their blog links here. : D You can read their blogs if you want. Another reason is also because I read their blogs. 

Also, the name "Voices of Infinity" is actually the name of my Tumblr site. Yes, I have a tumblr account but it's now inactive because so many of their posts are found on Facebook and 9Gag and Instagram... just anywhere else in the net. I don't need to go there anymore. I actually thought of this name is because Tumblr can be a really inspiring place. They have so many inspiring messages there (yeah, also got emo and self-pity that kind but we'll leave that out) that I feel like it's the voices of many people. And then since I thought that my layout of this blog is based on city, the name "Voices of Infinity" applies here too. In the city, there're so many people and so much voices. Also, because my mind is loaded with thoughts (who doesn't) that it's infinity. This title's a little cheesy and corny but ahaha... at least it's better than the previous two layouts. And please don't start remembering how lame my blog address is because I'll blabber about that in the future. 

I love designing blog so much, despite the fact that I'm actually cursing Blogger, the codes, Photoshop, the computer and Google Chrome 99.9% of the time. The kind of satisfaction that I get when I finished a layout is pricelesssssss!

Heh, I also finally changed the about me section that I now name is "the little area" because well, it's very little. 
Also, the picture you see below the little area is a snapshot of Guangzhou's Beijing Road, which is also part of Guangzhou city. You can read my posts here. 

And also, as you scroll down, you will the "Older Posts" and "Newer Posts". 
I have a very very very tiny picture of an old Istanbul, which is a postcard taken from here:

Since it's "older posts" mah, so have an old city lor. 
And the "newer post" is a modern city, taken from here: 

Sooo amazing and beautifullll right? I think this should be Hong Kong, I'm not so sure myself. But if anyone can confirm it, please do. : D

Heh, this layout's design is a little messier at the top because I originally wanted it to be simpler and cleaner but a lot of widgets' codes are very inflexible and Nuffnang's codes can't be edited at all, so it's a little messy. Also, I have a lot of things to cramp in a rectangular shape so I can only do so much. : D But nevertheless, it's so refreshing now. By the way, pictures and photos are not originally taken or drawn by me, I only took it from Google ( I was so lazy to even take stock photos or what). I didn't ask from anyone's permission so if you happen to be the owner or what, please please can you let me use your photo(s)? They all look reallllllyyy good on my blog, you should be proud, muahaha... 

Flunyway, here's beautiful beutiful cities all over the world. Take a moment of silence to look at these noisy hectic places that give you a sort of magical feeling. 

Shanghai

New York 

London

Tokyo 

Can never forget KL. 

Paris

Aiyah... so tired to find other cities for you all already la... Sydney, Toronto, Taipei and some more so many cities you go Google find la. All these I took from Google also one. So pictures do not belong to me. 

There're so many cities in this world and yet, each of them is so unique and has story of its own. These cities are where societies' cultures are, where stories of the countries are. I think it's fascinating how the people in the city lead their lives and one day I really hope I can see all of them and just feel what it feels like to be in each city (pftt... one day where got enough one. Need 80 days) 

Okaylah, that's all. Bai bai!
