Hillarious!!! :)
Now You are the one trying to make top story with nudity :))
Actually since long I would like to make a total nonsense post just with some catchy typical "Nudity" Topic to see how much you actually increase your readership...
Anyway, the quality of my blog against the little boy in me usually wins :)
Hi "G" - hey, thanks for adding me to your blog role. Let's talk soon!
Hi "AAM" - whoops, you caught me... hehe - the little boy in me always wins that battle. Actually, I don't take it that seriously - blogging's just a bit of fun for me to break the stress each day (and keep me sane) - I get a kick out of providing the readers with a huge variety of stuff - and coz I write every day, the real serious (new) news gets more difficult to find. I've got another (more serious) site (not a blog) dedicated to helping expats with certain processes in SG (specifically around childbirth, hospitals, immigration, baby registration and stuff, etc).
Cheers bro - when I get a chance I'll put a link on my main page to AAM :D
Aussies, idea of nudity is BORING !! (at the ver best)
