What's the meaning of "AmpDreams"?

"AmpDreams" is a short form of Amplify Dream. The reason why I named this website as AmpDream is because I want to dream big! Because in current society, we have restricted our dreams even before we start working on it. That because the society is cruel, if you cannot do it means you cannot do it. But that's so wrong! Why restrict yourself in your own dream. If you can't fight for your own dream, then you might as well live as a robot rather then a human with dreams.

So that's why I named this website as "AmpDream" is to remind myself and the others who have came to this website that even in this reality world, dream can still be existed, dream can still be pursue no matter when and where. If you have the will to do it, then you will.

But you must know that not every dream come true, but at least, you have fought for your dream! - James (myself)



Why I use Blogger for my website?

The reason why I use blogger for my website is because I have yet to find a suitable web-host to host my website. Previously, I have uploaded my website to a free hosting server, but it did not ended up well. Since it's a free web-host, so I have nothing to complain about. So now I will carefully looked for a good a cheap web host to host my website so that I can try adding more functions to make my website more interesting an interactive.

So in the meantime, I will use blogger as a platform to host my website and I using quite a unique way to do it since blogger does not allow user to upload more than 1 web page. I guess many people might used this method too, which is creating a post which are relevant to each of the web page.

Then some people asked, why not use iFrame, it's much better and faster as to compared to using a tedious method of creating post for each web page. My answer to this is simple, is because when I got my own web hosting site, I can directly copy and paste the entire thing to the web host which is faster compared to iFrame method!


The mascot that I used...

The picture on the left is the mascot that I will be using for AmpDreams website. The main reason why I used this as the mascot for AmpDreams is because this character is the first character that I have ever design (element destiny). Secondly, I used this character as my mascot because I find it looks like me, except that I don't have grey hair. Last but not least, I like this character very much, much more than the other character that I have created in element destiny.


Transformation of AmpDreams

Off course I want to make AmpDreams more than just my personal website, in fact, I am thinking of making it a social website where people can share their views about their dreams with each other through the internet. The reason why I want to create such a website is because I want people to know that you must be proud of what your dream is, and also dream big! You live once and what's the point of hiding your dream and throw it in one corner? Share your dreams with other, who knows you might get something interesting in return where someone might guide you to your dreams and make it come true!

I want people to feel that not all dreams are impossible to come true, in fact, everyday there are people out there are trying their very best to make make their dream come true and some even succeeded. So sharing your dream with others might be the first step of making your dream come true. That's why I always wanted to create such a website to encourage people to dream BIG!
