Sunrise recorded higher number of hits than usual on 28 and 29 February 2008, in particular my posts on some election campaign issues have brought in traffic to the site. Sunrise is not a political blog anyway, rather, this blog is meant to be a combo of a personal diary and current issues close to my heart and that of public interest, be it political, economical or social issues.

So it looks, political topics may rule Sunrise for the next one week, until the election results are out and that a new Cabinet line-up is announced. Election topics in Sunrise will not explicitly claim support to any candidate or party, but rather provide an analysis of issues in my opinion are important to ponder by all parties, be they the BN or Opposition. After all, we need a strong government to rule but we also need a strong opposition to provide check and balance.

Alright, for those who have frequently visit Sunrise (formerly known as The J Blog), you would probably notice that the link to Yummy!, the food blog that I planned to launch some time ago has been removed as I have aborted the plan for now. I will continue to maintain my personal website, James Ooi Online (http://www.jolmy.com/) and this blog, Sunrise (http://sunrise.jolmy.com/).

James Ooi Online was once a rojak website. It used to contain my personal profile, photo gallery, links to other sites, jokes, Nokia ringtone codes, MIDI files, a guestbook, etc. However, I decided to only keep the photo gallery and guestbook a few years ago, with my personal profile integrated as the home page. In 2007, I removed the guestbook and introduced a video gallery, YouTube-style, I mean using the FLV format.

It seems no new sections will be introduced anymore in the near future. However, the photo gallery, J Gallery will now feature albums of random snapshots taken from time to time instead beginning with Snapshots on 29 Feb 2008. The theme-based albums will continue to be added along the random snapshots albums.
