Gee.. I can’t believe I am hitting 22 years old SOON. It is like yesterday when I was so happy for being 21. Because that means I am legal to go into the casino in Genting. Although later on, the security still asked for my IC before entering the casino. -___-” Alright, being 21 is a lot more happier than getting the chance to go in casino.
Anyway, previously I would be so mad whenever people said that I looked like a secondary student. Cause that means I don’t look mature and ‘adult’ enough. But after tonight, I think I will give a Julia Roberts’ smile if anyone ever says that I look like a 17 years old girl. Oh well, as the number increases, you will want to look younger than your actual age, especially woman. 
I’ll spend the rest of the 3 hours watching Taiwan Hokkien drama and going to sleep after that. I manage to finish designing 1 theme today. So, there is 2 in queue for the boyfriend to code.

My CMOS webcam, that I bought a year ago, has broken down after a few months usage. It’s been a while that I didn’t use it. When I plugged it to my laptop, what I got was a blur picture.
Go to Photoshop and set the gaussian blur to 10, it is roughly like that. I have no idea what is wrong, so the IDR.170.000 webcam has been kept inside the drawer since then.
I have forgotten about the webcam cause the boyfriend can’t use the Macbook’s webcam in MSN. So, we’ve been searching for messenger that allows video call for both PC and Mac & really works one. We tried video chat with YM! for million times but didn’t work. I could see his video for about 5 seconds and then PUFF! Gone already. -___-” Oh my, how I wish I could get an iMac or mac mini at that time.
Until recently, we tried again and it worked! That means, it’s time for me to get a new webcam! I don’t say I must get the pink quickcam from Logitech (although it will be great if I do :P). Any webcam will do. As long as it can work and the picture is not so lousy.
I shall spend some time checking out the computer shops at Plaza Medan Fair for the best deal, since most of the computer shops in YangLim Plaza has closed down already.

Gee.. I wonder why they gotta come out with the upgrade so often. Alright, I know, for the security, for a better performance and yada yada yada. I haven’t even had the time to upgrade my Wordpress to 2.5 and voila, there is 2.6 already. -__-”
Thanks to my webmaster (the boyfriend) that helped me to manually upgraded it. Yes, mine is so unlucky that it needed a manual upgrade. But, it’s over now. I’m happily changing to wordpress 2.6. I am missing 2.3 interface though. With 2.5 on my other blog, I always click on the ’save’ while what I want is actually the ‘publish’ button.
Duh.. the 4 hours black out has ruined my mood for Monday. But wait, I see the word count function under save and publish button. There goes the day of using add on to count words from Firefox or paste the words into Ms.Word. This made up my day~!

My first Digicam is Canon Ixus 40 that I bought on March 2004. That was 4 and 1/2 years ago! And I’m still using it up until now.
I think my ‘baby’ is going to be a ‘Dinosaur’. Tell me where can you find a 4.0 MP digicam in the market now? Okay, probably there is still a little. But most of the digicams nowadays start with 5.0 MP. Even there is mobile phone with 4.0 MP.
The pictures’ quality from this Canon Ixus 40 isn’t as good as before already. Besides that, the right and left buttons is so hard to be pressed now. Oh well, it almost hits 5 years. I guess it’s time to change a new one?
I still don’t know what specific type that I want. For sure, it’s gonna be Canon. More specific, Ixus type. I dislike Powershot for the shape is too huge for me.
Duh, there is just too much to choose from. I’ll leave the specific series blank first until I do further research on the digicams.

How are you?, this is the classic question that I hate the most, either in face to face conversation or in MSN. Because I have to give the same answer over and over again to whomever that asks me this question. I hate have to repeat things and worse, they don’t even seem to understand my explanation and if they do, they will want to know more and more.
If I said I am doing freelance design and earn money online, they will ask: how am I doing it, why don’t look for a 8hr-6days job with fix salary every month, why don’t look for a job in KL again, etc. Hello? You thought I have no responsibility and plan? Whether I wanna wanna find a job in KL or elsewhere, that’s my business. Respect me if I don’t wanna share my plan with you.
It is so annoying that I have decided to give a short and classic answer, which is I am fine FULL STOP and walk away. I even think of asking them to check out my blog if they want to hear stories about my life. Seriously, this method will not only save my time but also theirs, win - win solution. Just type what they want to know in the search area or dig my archive.
Oh well, this is just another random rant on Saturday night without the boyfriend.

I was looking back at my old posts in Multiply and I saw the post about ‘My 4 important things’. One of those was my Lemoneko purse. Looking at the date, it was posted back in September 2005. I was in semester 4 and the picture was taken at the beloved B0606.
Count and count, this purse has been with me for more than 3 years. But recently, I have changed it to another bigger purse, white and pink with teddy bear. There was a SALE at Thamrin Plaza when I saw it. Else the stingy me won’t buy a new purse, even though the Lemoneko purse is a little bit broken at the bottom side.
People says, broken purse / wallet will cause the owner to be broke also. It’s sort of logical also. If the purse is broken with a hole at the bottom, the cents might drop down (?)
Whatever. This is another boring post since I am so bore here. Okay, that’s just my reason cause I’m lazy to start doing my work.
