I am bored. So I read horoscopes for laugh just to kill the time. Do I believe it? Maybe; maybe not. Don’t take horoscopes too seriously, you should define yourself and whatever that you want to do is in your control. Still, some of the horoscopes are just funny or make you feel like.. “shiiiitttt that is soooo like me”.

Whatever rocks your boats.

I read mostly my own horoscopes: Sagittarius. Sometimes I read those Scorpio too since Miss Fiancee is a Scorpio. Oh yes, that’s why it hurts when she stings sometimes… ouch!

Read this from ZodiacFact Twitter:

Sagittarius:

• As a #Sagittarius being a passionate fire sign, you throw yourself into everything with the force of a speeding train.
• As a #Sagittarius your tendency to put partners up on a pedestal along with your independence can make it tough to settle down.
• As a #Sagittarius honesty is a trait you prize dearly, but watch where you sling your own arrows of “truth.”

Scorpio:

• As a #Scorpio being resourceful to the 9th degree, you know how to make something from virtually nothing.
• As a #Scorpio unfortunately, you’re the one who suffers most from such grudges, as they tend to consume your thoughts.
• As a #Scorpio In affairs of the heart,you’re decidedly security-minded.It’s hard for you to let someone into your trust circle.

Clearly I don’t have anything better to write now. LOL Oh and by the way, the 13th zodiac signs, Ophiuchus? It’s just a star from the constellation Serpens. If we consider that, both me and fiancee are Ophiuchuns. But its so blurry and its not acceptable even in the world of horoscopes so… pfft. And it’s not new — Ophiuchus has been tried to be included in the zodiac since 1970, so shut up and don’t act surprised when suddenly some people write that in the news.

And do you know that the Ophiuchus symbol of “serpent-bearer” is a story of Asclepius — and the “rod of Asclepius” is the symbol of medicine today? Yes I’m talking about the misunderstanding of caduceus:

Caduceus have two snakes, while the rod of Asclepius has only one. Both somehow represented “medicine”

This is the results of reading Wikipedia in the office. LOL

P/s: About Zodiac. I’ve been thinking, if you put all the information together, maybe you could jog something loose. And then I thought, who better than you? I mean, you know all the players, and you have all of the files. — Zodiac, 2007.

Can we try to translate? Oh. “Against the Usage of Cold Powder by People who Dislike Black Metal!!”.

Whatever rocks your boat, guys.

Then the next, next week is already Hari Raya. I hope I can post something before I went back to Muar/Tangkak for Hari Raya.

So, for a filler, just to share what I read somewhere in Facebook. (Credit goes to this post). It’s a bit long, but yeah, if you’re bored.. then go ahead. It might makes you goes BAWWWW~~

******************************************************************************************************************

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers – wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, yet more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much; love too seldom; and hate too often.

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life, not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space, but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things.

We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less..

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; big men and small character; steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce; fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete…

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.
Remember, to say, ‘I love you’ to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. An embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

I think I’ve played this before.. but.. whatever.

The Rules :
1. Each blogger must post these rules first.
2. Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’ve been tagged, and to read your blog.

Fact #1: Bathe
[re-arrange] is well known to be someone who takes time to bath. Having said this, he takes 30 minutes to one hour to properly bath. Ironically, lately he bathe one time per day only.

Well, I don’t sweat in the office. So?

Fact #2: Eating
[re-arrange] is also well known as someone who eats a lot. Don’t be surprised if he order two nasik lemak in Maveles at night, or an ice-cream toast as his appetizers while having another main dish and dessert in Old Town Cafe. He doesn’t care if he spent his fortune for his gluttony.

However, ironically, he’s been skipping lunch a lot lately. Hence, the loss of the belly (-_-”.

Fact #3: Addiction
[re-arrange] is also well known as “The Chimney” because he smokes a lot. That’s his primary addiction that he is yet to overcome. Other than that, he also addicted to loud musics. He will play his mp3 playlist everyday, blaring into his earshot whenever he walks into the office.

Fact #4: Sleep Disorder
[re-arrange] is also well known as someone who doesn’t sleep at night. He simply can’t. He had just tried to wake up early in the morning in the past two days and it gives him a 180 degree of mood swings.

It’s not insomnia. It’s just DSPD (Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder).

Fact #5: Siblings
[re-arrange] is the first in the family, and he got a twin little sister and brother. No, it’s not a pair of twin, it’s one. A twin, but a boy and a girl.

The total siblings that he has? 8. Alive? 6. He lost two of his sisters in childhood, leaving only one girl from the twin as the only female siblings that he has.

Fact #6: Numbers
[re-arrange] love the number 6, 8, and 68. He hates number 7. Why? The effect of James Bond from the childhood.

Fact #7: Hair
[re-arrange] loves his long hair. He planned to have it rebond later. Or might be colouring it dark blue-black? LOL.

He just afraid that his parent’s gonna kill him.

Fact #8: When it comes to girls..
[re-arrange] is a sucker for fair girls. Plus that with a unique charm – say, friendly, or sparkling eyes, he’ll fall for it. Even though his history always thought that the white outside means dark inside.

If you got fair complexion, he might like you physically. LOL.

Choose the next 8?
1) Mangi
2) Chunna
3) Mia
4) Enol
5) Sue
6) Jane
7) Arfa
8) Hmmm…. Effi? LOL.

Well, if you did it previously, no worries. If you don’t want to do it, no worries too. But if you do or did it, leave me a comment with the links.

P/s: Wonder how to do trackback with blogspot. Hmmm….

The workload has been increasing like crazy again

The AI team suddenly asked me to do presentation for the students (again, last minute)

There was a meeting in the morning. And I hate it.

I was supposed to take DB2 certification (Test 731) on Thursday

I even sleep early for that purpose – 2 days in a row

But suddenly it got postponed due to technical reason

So, whatever, I got to take it on Friday

I’ve lost my enthusiasm by then

I failed that test by 1% – passing score is 59%, I got 58%. Which makes it a miss by a question.

I try to retake that test again, thinking it will be the same set.

Unfortunately it is not the same set. And failed it again.

I spend my weekend trying to change the blog template.

And it becomes crappy. It seems that my blog – never have a purpose to be written.

Whatever. I guess the leap year makes the luck leap over me too for the day.

Informative:

1) Do you know that in Gmail, you can set your incoming mail to be archived right away? And your mail can be labeled as to rearrange your mails in inbox?

Check the Settings > Filters as well as Settings > Label. Credits to Yondie for telling me this.

p/s: My email is always cluttered, make it Gmail or Lotus Notes. I guess I am not that keen of cleaning it up anyway.

2) Do you know that Pacmee‘s competitor is Twitter? You can post shoutout by using both of it, but Yondie has “poisoned” me to use Twitter. Not bad – can send your shoutout from web and SMS. But the looks of it kinda sucks though.

Ahh… need some space for myself.

From there, I can see who links to me or from where the visitors come to my blog. So, I ended up clicking here and there to see each person blog’s or links. So I gain a lot of other links and I crawl to all the places I can.

Else, I will just type random words into Google and see where it brings me. LOL.

There are some other links as well; Youtube and Metacafe as instances. But heck, I already posted more than 5. LOL.

I hope Blogger won’t block me anymore like before. This is not a spam list, okay Blogger, its just a stupid link game. Huhu!

5 people to tag.

Hmmm… this is kinda hard. Random selection below:

1) Mia
2) Chunna
3) Chadsz
4) Huda
5) Mangi

That’s it. Is it useful? LOL.

I just got back from my hometown in Muar when I read this email from Nuffnang:

Hi, Mohd Nor Sallehin bin Sallehuddin,

Congratulations!
An advertiser has chosen to advertise on [re-arrange].
The advertisement details are as follows:

Campaign:
Hong Leong FEB Campaign Week 1 SS

Week(s):
1. 10 Feb 2008 to 16 Feb 2008

Ad Unit:
Skyscraper (Top)

Have you ever noticed that I’ve put Nuffnang ads on my sidebar? Try to scroll down after the chatbox and you will see the skyscraper advertisement from Nuffnang. Today, Hong Leong wanted to put their ads there – hoho!

The ads is actually about – “Kiap-kiap” contest that currently being held by Hong Leong Bank. So, if you have Hong Leong bank account, you can pay your bills online and try to play their “Kiap-kiap” game to see if you can get lucky!

If you don’t have Hong Leong’s account, no worry. Go release your tension by playing “Kiap-kiap” for free. Its actually a game of catching flies using chopstick. Cool! I like the flash animation. I’d have to say, this game is very, very suitable to be played in the office while you’re bored waiting for the clock’s to strike 5 (or 6, or 8 for me).

Below is the screenshot of me trying to play “Kiap-Kiap” :

Damn! Not that easy, really!

And below is the highest score that I can get. LOL.

*sweat*

Oh well, c’mon guys! Let’s play the game and compare the result! Let me know your result in the comments please! Tee hee hee~

Anyway, to access it, please click at the ads on the right sidebar, below the chatbox. No worries, your click doesn’t mean anything I guess if you don’t have Hong Leong accounts (thus, unable to participate in the contest == no profit for me). So, its not for my own profit – if you speculating that I “force” you to click that ads to gain pocket money. Duh!!~

I never get anything from the ads anyway.

So, the thing about this blogthing is, you can assess me and see if my daemon is suitable. It got 12 days before it settles into the final form, so in that time, feel free to evaluate me. And btw, if you want to click “Next”, the button is on right lower corner and might be a little bit hidden.

My daemon started as a Tiger named Desra. Cool! If you want to evaluate me and the sheet below is quite hard for you to see.. then please use this link

If you want to try for your own Daemon, click the link above and browse to Daemon section. Can’t post the link though because its a Flash – based web. Btw, check out this link too!

History of my Daemon: Tiger > Osprey > ??? > ???

Well.. here goes my assessment sheet

lack;">Your Eyes Should Be Hazel

Your eyes reflect: Intellect and sensuality What’s hidden behind your eyes: Subtle manipulation

Nice.. I think hazel suit my eyes. lol. Anyone want to give me hazel contact lenses?

lack;">Your Theme Song is Beautiful Day by U2

“Sky falls, you feel like It’s a beautiful day Don’t let it get away” You see the beauty in life, especially in ordinary everyday moments. And if you’re feeling down, even that seems a little beautiful too.

Duhhh??? Sounds lame. I don’t even like that shit!

lack;">You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique soul like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well.

Wahhh! Mama I want to move to London! Lol.

lack;">Your Personality is 61% Addictive

You definitely have an addictive personality, and you’re probably hooked on something. Even if it’s just peanut M&Ms or online shopping.

Yeah.. I’m addicted to cigarettes. A goddamn heavy smoker. *sigh*

lack;">Your Kissing Technique Is: Perfect

Your kissing technique is amazing – and you know it. You have the confidence to make the first move. And you always seem to know what kissing style is going to work best. Sometimes you’re passionate, sometimes you’re a tease. And you’re always amazing!

Hihi.. any comment from anybody who have got my kisses?

lack;">You Should Play the Piano

You are a true music aficionado who loves many musical style and eras. You find music to be an escape. And you’d like to be relaxed and comfortable when you’re making it. You’re very innovative, and you have a unique way of knowing what may sound beautiful. There’s a strong possibility that you could compose some of your own work songs quite easily. While you have a lot of creative energy, you are also serious and conscientious. Your musical talent needs time, practice, and lots of privacy to flourish. Your dominant personality characteristic: your painstaking attention to detail Your secondary personality characteristic: your natural tendency to be whimsical

Hmmm… a piano lesson then? hmm…

Last.. but not least..

You are The Magician

Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.

Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man – either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Heh heh..

I’m trying to learn the new templates using XML, and because of my laziness, I will use the free template available in the web, and customize it. But hell XML is sucks, even though it’s great, but it is hard to learn (or is it me that’s becoming too old?)

So don’t complain about the template for now. Still working on it.

Update: Work being halt. Designer’s block. Ckp la kot cmtuh. malas dah nak buat. lol.
