Credit Card

It's the end of the month and it's time to repay my credit card. The last time I made payment via phone banking, the operator told me, there is an offer of 9 months' interest free and he wasn't sure whether mine has that offer. He suggested me to apply another one...so kind of him.
I refused because I can't afford it. I knew I will use both cards without limit and the repayment will be hectic for me. I have heard of students holding several Credit Cards during their Uni's time. Repaying by cards to cards in a circulation. I wonder how this can be happened.

Chinese New Year 2006

Today is CNY2006, Happy Chinese New Year to all. I wish everybody good health, everything goes smooth and the most important...WIN MORE!!!

I went to friend's place to eat 'tong yuen' and gamble a bit. Even though it was not as happening as in my home country, at least that was something different. No traffic jams and crowded everywhere. There will be a problem for eating because many people will eat outside and many restaurants or hawker centres will be closed. But there will be several shops that will open during CNY. These shops will have high profits!

Windows Vista

Longhorn--now Windows Vista--may be arriving more slowly than expected and it might not have everything that was once planned, but Windows chief Jim Allchin maintains "It's a big deal."

Among the features in the OS are security improvements, some snazzy new graphics, and a new means of searching and organizing information. Rather than having to remember the single folder where something is stored, users will be able to put documents in any number of virtual folders. They can also establish folders that will automatically update, such as "files edited in the last week" or "documents from Jane."

In addition, Microsoft is trying to simplify an array of other tasks, such as adding a PC to a home network or connecting a laptop to a projector.

DVD

Since I came to UK, I am trying to adapt to a new culture and living style. Every request ending with the magic word , 'please'. Every gratefulness will be presented by the word 'cheers'. This 'cheers' is normally used by me during party nights.

Back in my home country, chinese CD's, VCD's and DVD's are normal to me. Even English version of these are easily available. But then in UK, I hardly see any of these except Ebay. Really miss my all time favourite humour movies by Stephen Chow. I used to treat his movie as my 'sleeping pill' therefore most of his movies, I have watched at least more than 3 times.

Sleepless

This is the 3rd day I didn’t sleep. Have been going to the library these days from night to early morning. I was feeling sleepy at the library but when I get back to my room, I can’t sleep. Maybe I am too tense, final exam coming soon.
By the way, my claim for Paypal Buyer’s Protection is denied. I was so angry when I knew it, cause I have sent the item back to the seller and Paypal told me the case is closed. An email was sent to Paypal and they told me the tracking number was not working, therefore they close the case. Must call up Royal Mail for an explanation. How can a 1st Recorded Mail like this. If I knew, I will use Special Delivery.

3DMark®06

Futuremark has launched 3DMark®06. I remember the first time I see this benchmarking software was on my friend's PC. That time I was wondering what he was doing, looking at videos without sound over and over again.
This new version has improved Shader Model 2 tests, CPU tests and HDR Shader Model 3 Tests.

Get a full install Basic Edition, 3DMark®06 Basic Edition (Build 1.0.2)

Lucky Day

Woke up at 10pm and get my ready in a rush to library. It is a routine that I will go to my friend's room before I go back to my room, all my meals are taken at my friend's house. When I want to go back, I can't find my key. OMG, a replacement key will cost me £30.
So I walked back to my room and found that the key is on the keyhole. When I opened the door, all my belongings are still here, especially my I-Book.

Canon In The D

Rock version of this nice classical song.

Relax and Have A Simple Game

It might be a tiring day for you after hours of working. Help yourself and play a simple game. It will be an easy flash game where you move your mouse cursor along narrow paths towards the end point. Try not to touch the walls and turn volume to moderate level. Playing games with some music tend to be better.
Now check the volume level and start game.

Google Video

Who's messing with doggie? Take a look and have a laugh.

Ecto

It has been some time since I last posted here. Currently I am trying to play around my blogsome blog. A lot of problems that I can't solve, e.g word wrap or floating text.

I am trying to use ecto to manage both of my blogs. Posting with ecto to blogger is smooth but not blogsome. I have contacted ecto's developer for support and he said that it has nothing to do with ecto. The problem is something related to API <---I don't know what it is. Hope to get everything done.

Education Advice Please

Currently I am in Automotive Engineering, the course I wish to do since I am young. Before that, I did not know such course exist. So my parents assumed I like Mechanical Engineering, all my fault for not telling them the truth that I wanted to study 'car'. So I was enrolled in Foundation of Engineering before proceeding to Mechanical Engineering.

Upon completing the foundation course, I felt it hard to proceed and I told my parents I can't cope with it. In fact, the main reason was, that was not the course I wanted to do. So, I changed to I.T course, done an I.T certificate and was in Bachelor of Multimedia course when I found this Automotive Engineering. Again, I told my parents that I wanted to change course as I've found the course I wanted all these while. I was enrolled in HND in Automotive Engineering. Now I am in Uni and doing BEng Automotive Engineering 2nd year.

The problem is, my ideal course doesn't really ideal to me. I felt that I can't cope with it, lack of foundation. Should I continue with this course or change course? I have planned to go back to I.T course. I quite like I.T course but I scared after a while I will be having 'this' feeling again, want to change course etc. I can't afford to lose time anymore. I admit that I have financial problems, therefore I have to make a right decision this time.

Kitchen Day

Today I went for a discussion and the location was my groupmate's house's kitchen...lol

Actually I like to relax in the kitchen, chatting with friends, with something to drink and cigarettes. It will be better if there is something to munch, something light. My house's kitchen...no no no, impossible. I don't go there for meals don't mention sitting there to relax. Usually, I take all my meals at my friends' house. And why not their kitchen? Because, most students in that house do cooking, so there are a lot of cooking utensils and stuffs, messy. Too bad, I don't have a digital camera, else I will take down photographs. And I can make a 'Spot the differences' between 2 pictures.

'Floating Image'

These days I am very excited + disappointed. Time after time I am thinking of what images to post on my new blog. But all these are only imaginary because I do not know 'css'. I was told that, floating image can only be done using 'css'.

'Floating Image' or word wrap (Words around the image) prevented me from doing many things. I am a very forgetful person but did not take the initiative to write down things. Therefore, I have forgotten what I have planned on my new blog. This is not bad too because, everyday I have many stupid ideas coming out of my head. If I have to fulfill all those stupid ideas, it will take ages to complete.

Feeling Sad

This week is just another sad week for me. Numerous reasons...

I tend to neglect this blog after I got one from blogsome. But then I put the blog on hold because I am stucked in the coding, I know nothing about coding. Any Word Press masters who can give me a little bit of advice? I am using blogsome as a testing site before I host my personal blog.

Mac Book Pro

Mac with Intel Core Duo is available now. One of my friends who has just bought a Power Book wanted this new version. But this time it will be an I-Mac.

I was so sad, because he is selling off his PowerBook. If I knew, I will not buy this I-Book. But, as time passed, I have started to fall in love with my I-Book. I am the type that likes to keep old stuffs after replacing them with new ones.

But, I have a strong feeling that I will replace this I-Book with a PowerBook. I am assuming the price of PowerBook will decrease since many people are going for Mac Book Pro.

Something new

I have installed Word Press in my I-Book and started to write something on it. Hosting problem made me stopped it. First, I do not know which ad free host to use. Second, I know nothing about hosting, uploading files using FTP client. Therefore I tried out free hosting site, blogsome which is using Word Press too.

I do not plan to use Blog Explosion and BlogMad on this new blog first. Just want to try out how will it response.

Inserted into this new blog is Google Ad Sense.

I have got some revenue from it and I must confess that many readers have downloaded a copy of Firefox with Google Toolbar from my blog. Do you know, if a new user of Firefox who download,install and use it at least once, I get a buck?

Don't waste your time, sign-up Ad Sense and download a copy of Firefox now!

Word Press

I was trying to install word press on my I-Book. It was complicated for me even I have a guide. After a few attempts, it was done. Then another problem prevented me from taking a good sleep, I started installing Word Press since the night before.
It was the template. Yes, I can download the template and move it to the appropriate location and that's it. But then the links have to be edited. Really no idea...no...that time I was thinking how I edited my blogger template without sweating. I am still google'ing around on 'Word Press, templates....etc'.
Any Word Press user who can give me advices and suggestions?
   

Bag with laptop compartment.

That day I went to Harrods and I bought this bag. I've been looking for a backpack with laptop compartment all these while. I found a few from Dixons but I don't like it.
This bag has too many straps which I don't like. I am not tall and the bag is quite big and this make me even 'smaller'.

Blog traffic.

I found that my blog does not have much traffic. Therefore I joined BlogExplosion which has greatly improved my traffic.
Now I have found another site, BlogMad which is still in beta version. I hope it can increase my blog's traffic while I try to improve my blog.

Mistaken Identity

Recently, many readers misunderstood that I am a girl and I apologize for misleading. The picture in my profile is actually my idol. I seldom take photographs plus I do not have a digital camera. Therefore I did not post my picture up.


However, I have drawn a portrait to show myself.

From my observation, nothing resembles me, except for the dark complexion and the hair.

Hair Dryer

Drying my hair after shower is one of the reason I do not wash my hair so often. This makes my head itchy. I can now wash my hair anytime, no need wait the hair to dry naturally. It takes ages to dry up!
Looking forward to receive it in 1-2 days' time. Looks like this is my New Year's gift by myself.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2006!!!
