Stupid comments

Oh well. I was a pretty big kuku few months back when i just started out this blog. I wanted to let readers leave comments on my blog but i couldnt quite figure out how, try as i might. Image hosted by Photobucket.com


I realised i was reading the "HELP" section on blogger, at 2 different locations (SG & OZ), at separate times, there is a pretty big insight.
I couldnt quite figure out what Blogger was trying to tell me the other time. I thought all they wrote in the section were very technical & a technicality-impaired person like me, would NEVER be able to figure out what they are tryin to tell me. I was under a lot of stress previously (i still am now, in fact more stressed) cos i spent endless nights designing this skin (FROM THE BLOODY SCRATCH) and being the perfectionist that i am, i was pretty....erm....obsessed.

Probably impatient to read all that junk & just get someone to do it for me, which of cos, is impossible.


Yet again, im having problems with the solution i had for the previous problem. Mr. Tham told me to use any of the external servers for comments out of the list that he gave me. And yes i did, choose COMMENTTHIS.com & they were pretty ok. Even lets u add those emoticons for a personal touch to the comments.

BUT THEY HAD A BLOODY SERVER FAILURE. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

What the hell.

People couldnt leave comments on my blog, and they couldnt read what was written before that.
How damn bloody freakin frustrating. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

So, i gave a go at the BLOGGER HELP SECTION one more time, hoping for a miracle.

And yes, heavens is taking pity on the birthday gal. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Somehow, i realised that the HELP section, wasnt that difficult to read after all. I took less than half an hour to get it all going. Now my comments is up & running. How delightful.

It's amazing what the same piece of text meant differently at different times. U know what i mean? The state & condition that u were in when interpreting the text played a great deal.

And most probably, i've read some of the most difficult journal articles & texts & theories that the technicality junk at BLOGGER HELP SECTION just fades in comparison in terms of the difficulty level.

Read more.

And benefit out of it. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

nv know what it's gonna do for u. Image hosted by Photobucket.com
ta!

PS: as a result of the failed server of my previous comments, all the comments were lost. Sorry guys! Im as sorry as you are.

Blind Americans

My suspicions have just been confirmed.

Americans are a bunch of confused, delusioned, blind & deaf idiots who cannot tell a polished gem from trash.

I am so sick of American Idol that it makes me shudder at the thought of how deaf & blind that they can get. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

OK, im upset and appalled and utterly disappointed that Constantine is out!! Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Actually its not the first time im disappointed with the results of American Idol.

Who agrees with me that Scott Savol should NEVER have been able to get into the final 12. What has he got that Constantine doesnt? Oh, well, ugly looks, poor fashion sense, lack of music sense & soul and maybe a bad voice.

I think he (Scott Savol) would give William Hung a run for his money. You see, William Hung (as we all know) is not such a good singer. He killed Hotel California (super classic) with his signature tone-deaf voice, BUT he was sincere. At least that's what i think. People think he's different & he's just a nice boy with a big dream. He wasnt egoistic about anything and simply, he's just being normal, and nice.

Savol just doesnt do it for me, man.....i remember there was once the Idol show had a "ROCK" theme? Before they perform, there usually is a short interview? Savol said "You know they keep saying there are 2 rockers on the show, BUT I AM THE REAL ROCKER MAN! From young, i'd be the one rocking it out on anything i touch on....pots, pans, rackets...u name it, i've rocked it" - and showed pictures of him taking the pot as an imaginary guitar, trying to "strum" on a racket etc.

Recall my previous post on Singapore's very own idol, and i quote myself: just because ur strumming 6 strings on a guitar - doesnt make u a guitarist. You're just a plain friggin' strummer.

btw, i've encountered a really nice blog that belongs to Rosie O'Donnell? Yep, and she said she met CONSTANTINE!!! MY gawd....and americans are saddened that he's out of the show. One of the 597 comments highlighted my point. She said: Constantine can take comfort that good things seldom happen when American gets to vote.

I was laughing my ass off. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Ahhh, im distressed that Constantine is out.

He epitomises confidence without being too overtly sexy that it becomes uncomfortable to watch him and he's got a really unique voice that i thought is very refreshing. He's not un-flexible like the other "rocker" Bo Bice, who sucks at every other genre besides rock. Constantine can do rock, opera and classics with the least effort. He's got acting and drama background and solid musical influences that is being reflected from the way he interprets his songs.
Tell me why is he out of Idol. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Well he probably doesnt need them.

Ta!

Monozygotic & Dizygotic

I was doing my assigments & it involved tonnes of readings to do.

Not read magazines or newspapers but articles. JOURNAL ARTICLES. Basically papers & studies that report pple's research & findings.

Usually the older articles, like in the 70s, 80s or even early 90s, are harder to read than the ocntemporary ones, where there involved more profound words? I got myself an ENCARTA dictionary here, (13bucks only!!) and its been my best friend. Any words that i am remotely unsure, i check it up. And its such a cool dictionary that it actually lets u find a "wrong" word - and then tell u its wrong - and directs u to the right word. Isnt that amazing?

For eg: i wanna find "NECCESSARY". But i tot its spelt as "NECEESARY". So if u find, necessary, they will tell u that its wrong. I think my dictionary is so cool. :)

Anyway, stop the digression. I found this word: MONOZYGOTIC TWINS. And then the next word, DIZYGOTIC TWINS. When i checked it up, monozygotic twins hatch from the same egg? Whereas dizygotic hatch from 2 separate eggs.

NOW I FUCKING CANNOT UNDERSTAND.

i nv took biology so pardon me for being kuku. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

But seriously...both are twins, to me, thats all. I dun care whether they hatch from the same egg??? What difference does it make anyway?

So if u hatch from 2 different eggs, u are still considered twins, as long as u hatch as the same time? Is that what it means?

Im hopeless in science.

i miss clubbin!!

If any of u did notice, with the exception of Mr Alson, i have deleted a previous post. Oh, that was something i wrote under tremendous amount of stress & i seriously needed to destress, and also to find something to do in order to avoid doing my assignments that never seem to end.

Anyways, is it Wednesday today? Oh, NO? It's god damn Tuesday. Aww...i miss Mambo. To think i actually missed Mambo. Haha, havent been really keen the last few times i went, though it was all for Karin, she ADORES mambo. Hard core mambo queen!!

Oh..reminds me of chinablack. Ahhhhhhh......

Man, i miss clubbin.

I HAVENT BEEN CLUBBIN FOR 2 MONTHS.

My last clubbin session was Mambo, on Feb 16, the day before i left for aussie. Totally enjoyed myself that nite, cos they played MY SONG!! They havent played that in ages, in months!! And DJ Sunny smiled at me. Awww..........i could've jus died there. Image hosted by Photobucket.com hmmm, i think i almost did. Zhiwei & Karin almost witnessed my death.

Yay, and i went home thinking it was such an enjoyable nite cos b4 Mambo, i was at WALA WALA. Fantastic place, lovely music from the incredible band, and some really good company. Image hosted by Photobucket.com Life is good.

And now, im stuck at my cosy little house, rushing my assignments & presentations & readings!! AAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

Why did i EVER come back to school? Tell me!
Hmmmm, nonetheless, im sure i'll be able to survive any catastrophe or disaster in SG when i get back, if i can survive all this.

On a parting note, i gained weight. Think 2kg. Yoo hoo!!
Im eating well & sleeping well here, thank you all who are concerned. Will continue to put on more weight. No worries. Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I miss chinablack!! And DJ Sunny.
