What an Accident!

Can't stand it! The very same feeling that freaks me out last year is back again. This blog is in a state of crap. I definitely think it requires a major overhaul again. But time is short. There shall only be one more chance, an ultimatum. It's a hit or miss. Miss it and I will be certain to close it down, pack my stuff and keep a traditional diary instead. Anyway including this, there's only 3 posts left.

Or is it?

On 7 April 2008, the fateful day. I spotted a glitch on my blog and it's here, right where you are reading! Basically, the problem is about the Entries scrollbar. It can't scroll down completely! To get to the bottom, I have to highlight the text and drag my highlight down to force the scrollbar to move. Then the scrollbar would slowly become shorter as the content fills up the area.

That's actually not a big problem. Because most probably you wouldn't scroll to the bottom and read the older posts. BUT!! The real problem is... if you don't force the scrollbar to get shorter (if more content, then the scrollbar is shorter right?) and get the content correctly rendered, the CPU or processor will be crank up to 100% or 50% if you're using a dual-core! Nobody wants to come to my blog and hear their CPU fan act up right?

Well, it happens in Windows Vista's Internet Explorer 7 (not sure about XP's) and not in Firefox 2! *haha* Not trying to support Firefox here.

So I went high and low to fix this up. And to be less destructive to my blog, which later turn up ironically to be later, I created another blog to test it out. When I finally found the cause and thought I'd wrapped this thing up and done, I copied the codes, deleted the testing blog and went to my main blog to paste them in. To my horror...

I DELETED THE WRONG BLOG!!!

Just like our MM Lee Kwan Yew, it was a moment of anguish for me. It was a sense of inescapable helplessness. Not to mention the cold strings of word, "we can't restore your posts once you choose to delete your blog."

But heaven can never be so cruel to a nice guy like me 'cause I'm the only nice guy left. They can't let me go suicidal and extinct the race of nice guys. *haha* Okay, that was to wake you up if everything goes too boring. Anyway, wrote an e-mail to the Blogger Team over at California. The excellent guys there manages to restore it for me. Seems like I'm not the last nice guys left, but I'm certain I'm in the other part of the Earth. =)

So now the 145 posts are safe (sort of), but I'm not gonna bring it over soon before the major overhaul.

Want to know how high and low my "melodious" voice can go?
Drop by soon, and you will know!

How's Life?

I think it has been quite some time since I blogged about school life. To be exact, I'm quite sure I haven't been talking about it last year at all. Well, maybe bits and pieces of it but not to the extent of what I consider as "Status: Blogged". So here it goes again...

MONDAY. School starts. Boring 'o boring. Considering a 2-hour break for a day that ends on 6, it's quite a bargain. But Network Management and Adminstration (NMA) was pretty fun. Okay, my definition for 'fun' in this case was pretty different. First, it was relaxing. Maybe it haven't really started? Second, the Ms. Teo was actually more friendly than I thought.

TUESDAY. The craziest day - from 0800 to 1730. Attended my second General Elective Module (GEM) class. That's Psychology and Counselling (PSYC). I loved the stories the teacher told, but the sharing session aren't my cup of tea. There's also a textbook for the module and I bought it. Flipped through a few pages on temperaments. On the book, it stated there are 4 types: Sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic. And I suspect I'm a little of melancholic and phlegmatic! Don't believe? See it's description below: Oops, can't type everything here or it would be too long and triple-Z boring. Well, just take it at face value then. *haha*

WEDNESDAY. A slightly better day. Attended my third GEM and that would be Calendars and Astronomy. The lecturer kept saying lame jokes. And it was SO COLD!! Anyway, I saw Yu Ker, Jun Yong, Ryan, Evelyn, Imm Peng and last but not least, Germaine on the same day! It's so hard to see Germaine, she always stay hidden at around T1 area like I always stay up on Mount Emei.

THURSDAY & FRIDAY. Finally, things slowly get back to normal. And what's normal? And that's nothing happened that I could remember! Ah one thing, monthly Diploma Plus tutorial on Thursday ends at 9 pm! x _ x

And I already have an assignment right on first week! It's cruel. And it's group work somemore. Worse, I'm the leader. Worst, I have high standards on my groupmates. I wonder can they survive my 5-week boot camp? *haha* I'm a nice guy and I know I can't expect much from them anyway. =X

And that's my updated reply for the question, "How's life?". =)

*sigh* Didn't anyone notice the all my previous posts were gone? Nobody cares anyway. Sadded.

After loooong time (I think), I'm back here again! Haha.

Once again, holiday's ending soon. Didn't really enjoy much but I think it wasn't wasted. Firstly, one of the major things I've done would be this blog. On second look, it's really not that nice. Haha. The problem should most probably lie in its colours. Oh well, most probably I'll get the colours right soon? =)

That's it, my birthday's over. In a blink of an eye! Thanks for da peeps wishing me well. 'preciate it lots! =D I hope they don't remember it because Friendster spammed their e-mails. Haha! Talking about Friendster, it's like 2929292929 years since I've updated it! *lol* Sorry arh, seen this expression appearing more and more often in the blogs I read. Heh, so copy a bit. But it's not any random number! 29 sounds like 很久 right? Anyway, since I found out that Friendster always send out "birthday coming soon" 9 days before the actual birthday, I decided to change my Friendster picture! Haha. But that's old photo also. Sigh.

In this digital age, I found that I've less and less photos already. =( All due to the fact that using digital still camera, you see the picture right after took them. Oh my! Not nice seh~ Delete! Okay, I don't really delete images. Professionals don't do that. =P But you just would not really spend money to develop it into a photograph. Not like in the past, everything you took, it's inside the film. Can't directly take the film out under the hot sun, silver bromide decomposes remember? So to get a vague idea of the pictures, you gotta develop the film into negative! Haha, talking about negatives. The whiter your teeth, the darker it appears in the negative! Anyway, here's where you decide which is the "nice" one. But in the end, most probably you will print all of them. So all of them get archived into albums which in later years do bring some memories back. Now it's virtual, why develop the digital photos into prints when in the computer you can zoom in on some details?

For me, I prefer photos that are printed. Yup, I'm old-fashioned. But that's a style too!
