My journey at 42 the computer science school is coming to an end.

This means that from this date onwards, us students will no longer have access to the campus and its facilities, and our student progress will be paused on 42's…
On the past Sunday, the RGB backlight of my Limeide GTX300 USB mechanical gaming keyboard that is plugged in to my main computer, which is a gaming laptop, suddenly stopped working. When I ordered and received Limeide GTX300 from a Malaysian store through Shopee back in September 2025, I did not expect that the RGB backlight did not work out-of-the-box on my Arch Linux operating system, so I had…
In the past week, I had a successful presentation during my school's roadshow . Unfortunately, not everything went smoothly for me in this week. On Monday, I encountered a major unexpected setback when I woke up in the morning: I was unable to access my main virtual private server (VPS), which hosts all my websites, including this one, and most of the self-hosted apps I use, and I could not visit…
My school, 42 Malaysia, just held a roadshow event on February 27 and 28, 2026. Two weeks ago, I and two other classmates were invited by the staff of my local campus of 42 Malaysia to take part in a student showcase during the roadshow event, then in last week we joined a session hosted by the campus staff to prepare for our presentation, by giving us guidelines for how to present in the event,…

On 15 October 2025, I spoke at Episode 27 of THE Eleventy Meetup , about building a multilingual blog with Eleventy. This marked my second time speaking at THE Eleventy Meetup, after Episode 19 of the meetup in September 2024, which was also when I spoke at a tech event for the first time. Unfortunately, just when I was about to start delivering my talk, I encountered technical issues with sharing…
Recently, I ordered a new pair of USB keyboard and mouse for myself — Limeide GRX300 — through a local e-commerce store. Both keyboard and mouse have backlight, which complements my main personal computer — ASUS TUF Gaming A15 laptop. The keyboard of my gaming laptop is perfectly functional, but I use an external keyboard to protect my laptop keyboard from overuse as much as possible, and I do…

Happy omg.lol Birthday to me! 🥳 On this day in 2024, I joined omg.lol after successfully bidding a lifetime membership during omg.lol's fundraising campaign for St. Jude, then a month later, I celebrated the one-month anniversary of my omg.lol membership with a blog post, which…
Starting from today, I am no longer using Bun, the JavaScript runtime. I had used Bun to build all my websites that are made with the static site generator Eleventy . I enjoyed using Bun because it was indeed fast, and I found its name and logo adorable. I even openly praised Bun during my first talk at THE Eleventy meetup in September 2024 . I was a happy user of Bun for more than a year... until…

Another notable feature that sets Galaxy Garden apart from my developer blog is that the former is available in more than one language, specifically English and Simplified Chinese. Naturally, having been a dedicated user of the static site…
