Here is a thought for the weekend: What would you bring with you if the world ended and you have to move to the other planet? Hm, it seems to be pretty tough as I have so many things that I want to bring along with me. I need my Dell computer, my handphone, my cup, my digicam, my purse, my bag, my clothes, my sandals, etc. If can, the whole house.
But think again, one thing that I can’t live without would be my mini Garfield bolster which has been with me for 2 and a half years. It was brought all the way from Sarawak to KL to Medan, travel across the countries. It accompanies me through the lonely night, when I feel like crying and missing him.
This thought came up after I came across this game called Tabula Rasa, Operation Immortality: Leave your mark. Save Humanity.; an action-packed sci-fi multiplayer online game that puts players in the middle of a never-ending fight for freedom against the alien race known as the Bane. You can play this game for free cause there is 7 day free trial with no credit card and no obligation. If my cousin (the ‘Donald Duck’) is still in Medan, I’m sure he will stick to the computer once he gets to know this game.
Get to experience the game yourself!

Now, I have the schedule of returning the drop in my Entrecard inbox everyday. I have 4 blogs in there and I will drop about 40-50 for one blog. That would be total 200 (average) per day. If the connection is pretty good which means I don’t need to keep on refresh Firefox for Entrecard widget to appear, I will probably drop more or double from that amount.
Sometimes, while returning the drop, I will click on the feature blog (with interesting picture and name like compact flash) and drop which become a chain. Don’t understand? Bleh, I don’t know how to explain. But, whatever. The point is, I think I am so used to drop entrecard that whenever I come across someone’s blog, I will scroll the whole page (up and down and right and left) just to search for the Entrecard widget. Who knows they hide it at the bottom there and wanting the visitors to read the post first. -__-” Then only I realized, not everyone has Entrecard widget. Duh.

Discussing about the menstrual cycle related thing in and for the public can be quite unease sometimes. Well, let’s don’t care about it cause I have found something interesting to be shared with the women and it has something to do with the menstrual thing and saving someone’s life.
Cut the crap, here is the info. C’elle exclusive and revolutionary stem cell technology empowers women to safely and easily collect non-controversial, potentially life-saving stem cells found in menstrual blood. Scientific study of C’elle stem cells was recently published in the prestigious Journal of Cell Transplantation.
C’elle menstrual stem cells have demonstrated the ability to differentiate into other cell types such as heart muscle, cartilage, nerve and bone stem cells. This translates into the potential for future therapeutic developments to possibly treat major diseases like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, MS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s; as well as possible cosmeceutical applications like anti-aging and wound-healing.
Oh my.. I think I need to spare some time from online and read more About the Science. I never know the blood that was flush down to the toilet every month is very useful and important. It can even save someone’s life. Maybe mine in the future as menstrual stem cells are a 100% match for the woman donor and may possibly match her first degree relatives.
There is a special promotion right now where you can purchase C’elle online for only $499, which means you save $200! Head off to C’elle Client Testimonial page to get more info about stem cell. Don’t wait to invest in yourself today for tomorrow’s healthcare.

After Entrecard theme, SimplyWP came out with a totally different theme which called Floral Day (I’m not good in naming), a scrapbook theme. It’s a free wordpress theme anyway.
It was my first attempt to design a theme with scrapbook material. Much thanks to Shabby Princess for the materials. I like handmade stuff very much and start to have interest in scrapbook not long ago.
Click for demo site
The ‘poem’ man (the boyfriend) said,”Why do you like to do weird theme that is not easy to code?” 
That’s the problem when you know how to design but have no idea about coding, which in the end will make the coding man wants to bang his head to the Macbook. But, he managed to code it and the theme works well in IE7, Firefox 3 and Safari.

1. I have an almost 2 hours driving course today; all the day from my house to the next learner’s house which is oh-so-far from the city. It is located deep down inside the Johor Baru complex (Oh yes, we have Johor Baru in Medan too, not only Malaysia has it :P). I wonder why do some people live so damn far away from the city? Duh.
2. Driving 2 freaking hours is so tiring and takes lots of my concentration. But it is fun at the same time, than 30 minutes only.
3. Writing in point form is so much fun and organized than writing in paragraph form. At least for me. I can see the point clearer and each subject is separated clearly.
4. Ever since I opened a blog in Blogger, specially for joining contests, I’ve been joining almost every contests that I came across. Alright, that’s too much. Most of the contests that I joined gives Entrecard credit or cash. If not, it would be stuff like necklace, t-shirt, etc. Me like it. Visit Wiehanne’s Contest to see what contests I’ve came across.
5. Too many work to settle, too little time to do. I wish I can sleep for 4 hours only and use the other 20 hours to do my work, watch TV, eat, etc. But I can’t, I have to sleep at least 8 hours to be fully charged. Duh.
6. I’ve downloaded a few mini games; fully version. Will write about it with the download link later on.

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it
*Sing it ala the possum in Ice Age 2* The driving course is so far so good. Sometimes I am so high that I believe I can fly with the car. The fact is the other way round, the max that I go is 40km/h and I often find myself driving at 20km/h.
Let me just write the 2 days experience in point form:
1. I was assigned to 10 x 30 minutes course instead of 12 x 30 minutes, which means there is no theory class. Stupid staff, what’s wrong with his ears and listening skill? This issue brought the second issue up.
2. The instructor suggested this: he could give me additional hours by paying him some money; which is cheaper compare to adding more hours through the company. Mum has told me about this, but I never expect to hear it on the first day.
3. We settled the deal, I get the chance to drive for 1 hour but he just wrote 30 minutes in the form. The additional money went in his own pocket. Alright, no need to be so surprised, it’s a common thing in Medan. People need the extra money to survive after all.
4. First day, I was already being asked to drive the car on the street. I was like,”What?” Cause the last time I took the course, I was asked to learn turn-right & turn-left in a housing area that almost has no car passing by.
5. It was good that I got the chance to drive on the streets that I have to go through almost everyday in the future; i.e. Sutomo, Asia, Thamrin, Sutrisno. Unlike last time, I was asked to drive to some outskirt area which I don’t even know that it exist, simply because I gotta fetch the next ’student’.
6. After my turn, it is the other girl’s turn. She is a Batak race, but she speaks like a Malay. I couldn’t believe that she is really an Indonesian at the first time. Then only I knew that she studied in Penang, Malaysia. So, well, language influence by the local friends I guess. Like how I speak different Hokkien with the KL mates and Medan friends.
I think I have the 7th point, but I have forgotten it. Whatever. Looking forward to tomorrow and can’t wait til I ‘graduate’!

Oh my.. I’m in a tension mood right now due to the fact that I will start my driving lesson tomorrow. Why?
1. I am scare that I won’t be able to drive and park the big butt Innova after 10 days. It is a manual MPV and not small city car like Hyundai Atoz, wei.
2. My mum is relying on me to be the driver when my Dad is outstation.
3. The fact that it is a new car (1 week old as of today) makes me feel more tension. How if I scratch it or accidentally bang into something? You know, there is so many bumpy and small street in Medan. Not only that, everyone drives like mad horse and I doubt my own skill.
4. I am not a multitask person, hence I scare I will be confuse working with the gear and brake altogether.
However, die die also I have to success in this driving lesson. I can’t end up don’t know how to park like 5 years ago. Luckily there is no driving test in Indonesia in order to get the driving license. 
This time I will learn using Toyota Kijang LGX with air-con, unlike 5 years ago when I have to use the old Kijang without air-con and power-steering. Ugh. The lesson starts at 9.30am for 30 minutes and last for 12 days; 2 days introduction to the car’s machine, how to change tyre bla bla bla and the other 10 days for driving and parking itself.
Wish me luck!
