0) First of all you will note the absence of a definitive site map. While everything looks meticulously organized into user-friendly navigation boxes on the surface, you will probably find yourself losing your way a little the deeper you dig. Which is perfectly fine, as I think part of the allure of this site is the opportunity on the reader's part to discover something refreshing every time a visit is paid. However, if you are of the highly-strung fraternity who reads every word of his Newsweek magazine from the cover page (unfailingly noting each subtle price rise every few months) to the last, and possesses not the patience to explore this site at your own leisure, then this handy guide is for you. Read on!

1) There is no overwhelming need to read the self-introduction. Really, you don't have to feel bad about it. It bears very little relevance to the rest of this site anyway. For those of you who know me personally, you'd find that, apart from some irrelevant facts from my obscure past, I revealed very little information about myself in that section. For the majority of you who don't, what I wrote hardly qualifies as autobiography material either. If you have already read the self-introduction, and wish you had not, I apologize. I should have told you sooner.

2) There is also no urgent need to plough through the "yonder years" section filed under "Records", which is essentially a nostalgic collection of the memoirs of my school days from age 13 to 18. I guess only those who went to the same schools, or who attended schools in Singapore, will enjoy any gratification from reading this section, so if you had already read it and wished you hadn't, again, I apologize. I should have said something.

3) You can also skip the entire poems section if you don't particularly appreciate poetry. Or even if you do. Because most of the very few poems that are found here are written by me, and nobody else in the world will consider publishing them.

4) Actually, many of you might want to give most of the other sections a miss as well. The song lyrics, quotable quotes and acknowledgements sections all contain mundane stuff that are difficult to make interesting, even if they did seem interesting to the person writing them at the time. Today, they exist mostly to puff up this site, and for those who, after finishing reading the rest of this site, for some reason find themselves floundering with nothing else to read.

5) As a matter of fact, you might only want to bother with the musings section, followed by the travel logbook and bizarrely named "A Story From the Bowl" section if you somewhat inexplicably liked the writing remotely. The musings section is now conveniently packaged as a greatest hits package, mainly to cover up my miserable work-rate in season four. There are also pieces I personally like but have omitted from the "Best of" line-up for the sole reason that they seem stupid, but I like them anyway. Anyway I'll leave you to uncover those yourself if you're new here. Hey! Welcome!

6) The latest updates are usually recorded in the editorial section, "usually" being the operative word. So if you have a compulsive disposition that makes you repeatedly line up twenty minutes each time for the same ride in Disneyland, this is the first port of call for your reference each visit. Actually, I have no idea what that was supposed to mean either. Which brings us to the next point:

7) Whenever the incoherent writing confuses you, skip the whole paragraph. It's probably not important anyway.

8) Turning a blind eye to the button linking to this page will help as well. I apologize for the appalling choice of a man in a red bikini as an icon if it causes you any embarrassment, but in reality there was no choice at all, for that was the only button I had that read "Suggestions". Somehow, "joke page", "restrictions", "horoscopes", "lie detector" and "death match" would not be very appropriate titles for this page. Finally, I also apologize unreservedly, if you thought that was a lady instead, for unveiling the truth unwittingly. Forgive me.
