Hello readers,

19 October is the day to celebrate Devil In The Skull. He has turned three years old and I want to dedicate this post to him. I started this blog on 19 October 2012 to post about films, music or any other interesting stuff that happened in my life. His life is similar to my four years in secondary school.

Devil In The Skull is a blog which I never thought I would run it for years. I have previous blogs like photos and personal life, they did not make it for a year or two. I started out this blog as a way to share what I knew or found on other sites such as IMDB, a place for movies, television series and celebrities news. Over the years, the blog managed to gain some reads and views from all over the world, even to the extend, it found its viewing from United States of America too.

Since 2013, I have also checked out the most popular posts from Devil In The Skull, what I posted which made it unique. My post on the Chinese restaurant, Din Tai Fung, back in February last year saw my blog's views increased over the month and has helped me renewed my faith in continuing this blog. Last June, I posted a short review on the cyber punk television series, Mr. Robot and just an hour, I saw my blog's views increased by so much that the review entered the top of my most popular posts of that month. Interestingly, even last month my post regarding four television series to looked out for entered the most popular posts of Devil In The Skull.

Hopefully, I would be able to balance my life and blogging on Devil In The Skull. Recently, there are films to looked out for. Bridge of Spies starring Tom Hanks has been a talk in some sites including Roger Ebert's site claiming it to be one of the best films of 2015. The Walk starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt is also a film to looked out for in cinema and would be shown on October 22 in Singapore if I remembered clearly. Not to forget, Crimson Peak starring Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowskia is now in cinemas and I am looking forward to get a day to watched the film.

I shall stop here and hope to write more posts soon. Happy birthday, my beloved Devil In The Skull!

Hello October

Hello readers,
My apology for not updating this blog for weeks. My national examinations ended a week ago and for the whole week onward, I have been returning to school for some supplementary lessons in preparation for Secondary 5 next year. October is an interesting month since Halloween is coming and also school holidays are coming near. There are films like Crimson Peak and The Last Witch Hunter coming out on cinemas too.

Recently, I have been freaking out over the outcome of my GCE 'N' Levels. I felt that I did not really put in my best, despite my results have always been on the right track. With friends and teachers talking about the future, I am now sinking in the ocean. It sucks when examinations always take over your mind. You freaked out when your grades are not above expectations or just average. It also sucks when everyone has planned out their future as though they know what they are doing.

Thankfully, my family members are always there for me when I felt completely useless. They would remind me that humans like to talk and talk, just like how it happened to my fellow peers during the Primary School Leaving Examinations (PSLE). If my results showed otherwise, they believed that maybe the path given would probably made me happier. Hopefully God will guide and tell me.

Speaking of which, I have changed the layout of the blog in time for Devil In The Skull's three years anniversary on Monday. I found the layout of the blog while googling free blogskins. I clicked on an image found on Google and here is the link. I chose this layout because I think it was different from all the usual layouts I used on this blog. I spent nearly three hours figuring and modifying layout from widgets to colour coding. Not only figuring and modifying the layout, my house WiFi was not cooperating with me throughout the process.

Alright, I shall end the post and what do you think of this layout? Do you think I should reuse back Blogger layouts or find more layouts similar to this on Google?

P.S. Colour coding found from here. :)
