For Vanessa - Get Well Soon!

Our LP8's song

WHEN YOU PUT YOUR HEART IN IT
by Kenny Rogers

We knew it was one in a million
It was such a long shot
Somehow we’ve got here together
And who knows what will happen
Anything can happen
If we keep getting better
And we keep on believing.

When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere
Who’s to say that we can’t make it
It’s the same dream that we share
When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere.

This road was so long and winding
It was such a hard road
But we can’t stop once we had started
We were always getting closer
Suddenly it happens
A chance in a lifetime
Now we’re gonna take it
We can make it.

When you put your heart in it …

"Cool...but how to blog ah?"

For those who are thinking of the question above, think no more. This is the first of a few articles to get everyone up to speed to the world of blogging.

A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically — like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly — from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction.
Blog posts are like instant messages to the web.

Many blogs are personal, "what's on my mind" type musings. Others, like ours, are collaborative efforts based on a specific topic or area of mutual interest. Some blogs are for play. Some are for work. Again, like ours, some could even be both.

Blogs are also excellent team/department/company/family communication tools. They help small groups communicate in a way that is simpler and easier to follow than email or discussion forums. A blog can help keep everyone in the loop, promote cohesiveness and group culture, and provide an informal "voice" of LP8 to outsiders.

To start, you'll need to create an account. By now, you would have received an invitation e-mail. Complete the registration process.

Once you are done, log into the site. The sign-in box is located in the upper-right corner of the Blogger homepage, where you can enter your username and password.

When you are properly logged into the site, choose this blog (LP8 Hot To Go) and start adding in your articles.

Don't worry if your england is not powderful enough because, frankly, we don't care if you don't cross your "i"s or dot your "t"s ;)

Happy blogging!

Welcome, welcome and welcome!

Welcome to what promises to be a new and interactive medium for us to keep in touch with each other. Rather than waiting a few months for a gathering, this is the virtual place where we can catch up with each other or announce upcoming events.

We had just completed our 11th Weekend and for those who couldn't make it, have a look at the group photo (click to enlarge photo)that we took:-



More photos will be made available soon.

Like everything in life, there are some groud rules to follow:-

1. Contribute and share. In order to make this blog a success, you (yes, YOU who are reading this) must contribute. Send in anything you like. It could be anything regarding what happened to you or just plain greetings to your friends.

2. Be honest. Clear enough for everyone, right? We want to make this an honest forum where everyone can openly share.

3. Don't flame. Sometimes, things might get a little too hot due to the sensitivity of the topics shared. Please exercise your discretion in providing criticisms that are constructive rather than destructive. Poke holes in ideas not the person who brings up the ideas.

This is just a welcome note. So feel free to add anything that you have in mind. I'll be posting the first "real" entry soon. See you online!
