I've always been perfectly happy to hang out by myself if I need to, and with Y working really late the past couple months, I've had plenty of me-time. The problem with being left alone too much however, is that I become itchy-fingered and impulsive. That sounds a little like I decided to go shoplifting, but I actually ended up getting this instead:

www.sophiagoh.com

Don't worry, I paid for it. And it wasn't really all that impulsive. I put in quite a few hours of research before settling on a domain host. And I've always kinda wanted my own domain, even though I know squat about all this fancy techy stuff. Well, a girl's gotta learn.

I got this one from NameCheap and with a discount voucher, it only cost me $8.41 a year. Pretty economical for an impulse/indulge buy I reckon.

Self-indulgent domain name: RM27
A pair of shoes from Nine West: RM350

You do the math.

It took me a while to decide on my domain name because I was tossing up between Sophia Goh and Sophia Ngian. Sophia Ngian might be a slightly better representation especially since I've been using that name in gmail for a while now, but Sophia Goh is the name I'm known as in my current industry and the site will/should (hopefully) serve as home base for a future freelance writing career, if I head down that path.

So it all came down to: which one looks better. And sophiagoh.com looked better than sophiangian.com (the 'a' andthe 'n' sort of sticks together when you look at it and makes it look like sophi angian).

Next up: building the website and finding a good web host. This is going to be fun. Recommendations, anyone?
